ASUS EeeBook X205TA Back to Budget Specs, Price, Philippines

Asus brings back the Eeebook to its root as a budget friendly netbook offering for $199 (more or less 9K). Pretty much cheap considering its a 11.6 incher LED backlit HD (1,366 x 768) Display. +ASUS PH



At its heart is Intel Atom Z3735 Bay Trail-T Processor coupled with 2GB RAM and 32GB/64GB Storage options. Baytrail has come so far in terms of performance and energy efficiency and it can even handle some intensive apps and games that was once crashing horror on previous atoms. More storage is also provided with 115GB Microsoft OneDrive free for 2 years (15GB for life)
500GB ASUS WebStorage free for 2 years Cloud storage if not a Micro SD card slot SDXC that supports up to 64GB.



Input and Ouput ports features Two (2) USB 2.0 ports, One (1) headphone/mic combo jack, and a microHDMI. For connectiviy, a 802.11a/b/g/n dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0. Two (2) 2W high-quality stereo speakers and High quality microphone serves its audio hardware. Front-facing camera caters to selfie and video-chat needs.

Oh to clarify, no touchscreens here it is just plain netbook that can be operated with the normal keyboard and touchpad only but I am quite sure Asus Smart Gesture is present for pleasant Windows 8.1 experience.

I am liking the track Asus is on with providing budget devices with quality hardware as well as a different unique experience. They also do a great job in terms of battery life and for this EeeBook X205TA it is quoted at 12 hours for web browsing that is.

It is now available for price of 12, 495 Pesos via +Lazada Philippines
