Size is generally the first thing to consider when you buy an Asus notebook. They range from as small as 13 inch (33cm), all the way up to 17 inch (43cm). This is the measurement of one corner of the screen to the diagonally opposite corner of the screen. There are pros and cons to smaller and larger screens. Smaller screens mean a smaller, lighter and therefore more portable notebook. But, they generally have no num-pad. Furthermore, a smaller screen means movies and images, for example, are displayed a smaller size. Larger screens are fantastic for gaming, movies and images as larger screens are not only physically larger but provide higher resolutions. Some larger screens are even able to provide full 1080P HD – the ultimate for movies.
