Miscellaneous, conclusion
The capacity of the R600’s built-in battery is 2200 mAh, unfortunately this can be changed only in a service. It can be fully charged in about 2 hours and it promises 6 hours of continuous operation with one charge. My measuring did not support this, but during the test period the Lithium-Ion battery could not reach the number of charges necessary for full capacity, so it is possible that it can truly operate for the time specified.
The general quality of assembly is worthy of the name Asus: it is perfect. No creaks can be heard, not even when heavily using the device, this is certainly quality merchandise.
As a final word I can say that for about 300 €, with a complete Europe map, at such a quality and features it should be "Highly recommended", the only reason it gets only the "Recommended" award is, that in 2008 other manufacturers were able to pack the same features in a smaller, more graceful case, the R600 is slightly larger than comfortable. If they keep following the same path, nothing saves the next model from the best award; this too has fallen behind it only with a little bit.
