Asus U36S

If you're looking for a pretty, portable notebook, Asus's U36S is pretty darn close to perfect. This super-thin ultraportable has everything you need and more--assuming you're not an audiophile. Tthe speakers, unfortunately, leave something to be desired. Our review model, which costs $870, is packed with a second-gen Intel Core i5 processor, 4GB of RAM (upgradeable to 8GB), a discrete Nvidia GeForce GT 520M graphics card, and a 640GB hard drive spinning at 5400RPM. It also features built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and it runs a 64-bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium. But the U36S's specs aren't what's impressive--what's impressive is the pretty, skinny case design, light-yet-sturdy construction, and the excellent battery life. At its thickest, the U36S is just 1.1 inches thick. This is a bit misleading, because it's not really that thick. Most of the notebook is much slimmer at just 0.75 inches thick. The 1.1-inch thickness comes from the battery, which has a little bump less than an inch wide that juts out of the bottom of the computer. This "jutting out" only happens if you have the 8-cell extended life battery, which Asus says will last for 10 hours. In our lab tests, the U36S doesn't perform quite as well, with 7 hours and 40 minutes of battery life.

ASUS U36S Review: Better Than A MacBook Pro?

The ASUS U36S is a 13.3-inch ultraportable featuring a magnesium-aluminum chassis that weighs just 3.1 lbs. At just 0.75" thin and with over 8 hours of battery life, could this laptop be one of this year's best buys? Here's a tip: Keep reading if you are thinking about buying a MacBook Pro for Christmas.Build and DesignThe ASUS U36S ($899.99) has a rather unsuspecting gray and black exterior. The surfaces of the notebook are made of a magnesium-aluminum alloy which is strong and extraordinarily light. The whole notebook including its large 8-cell battery weighs just 3.11 lbs. Additionally the notebook is exceptionally thin measuring just three quarters of an inch with the lid closed. The build quality is excellent; the chassis is nearly inflexible and the lid has strong protection from the metal alloy backing. I like how the top of the chassis is molded from a single piece of metal alloy including the keyboard surround. Finally, the anti-glare properties of the metal alloy do not show fingerprints or dust and should resist scratches fairly well.
