Hands-on with the ASUS R50A

Filed under: , ,

It’s been a real MID / UMPC bonanza at CES that year, and we’re not done quite yet. We got to handle the ASUS R50A at the company’s small — yet crowded — booth, and we’ve brought back pictures for the gang. While the design is fairly solid on the device, the unit feels a bit slippery to the touch. The button / navigation placement works, though coming to grips with everything wasn’t precisely a smooth transition. Once again, we’re seeing that miniaturized Vista, and honestly, we’re not totally convinced that is the platform of choice for these pixel-dense screens. Check out the gallery and see the little guy in action.
