ASUS U24E-XS71 review

ASUS U24E-XS71 review
ASUS U24E-XS71 is the world's first A4 size notebook with a Intel 2nd generation Core standard voltage processor. Compact A4 size and just 1.5Kg for total portability Standard voltage CPU powers uncompromising computing Extended battery life all-day operation Dual USB 3.0 ports with USB Charger+ accelerated charging
 With the footprint of a standard A4 page, the ASUS U24 reaches new performance heights with a super-light and super-slim design that weighs a mere 1.5Kg. It's eminently portable and easy to carry wherever you go, without cutting corners on power.
A unique red and blue color scheme stands out immediately with its chic elegance, showcasing the notebook’s special personality and mixture of urban and tasteful living. The finish boasts intricate matte hairline textures that contribute to more than just stylish looks – they also harden the notebook for better durability in the long run.
For all its compactness and light form factor, the U24 arrives with the full might of Intel 2nd Generation Core Standard Voltage Processor. It is the world’s first 11.6” notebook to feature these powerful CPUs, so you get all the productivity, multitasking, and multimedia of a much bigger and heavier notebook in a neat and stylish package that you can easily travel with.
It also enhances standby time up to an impressive two weeks*, while data safety is assured by automatic backups when the battery drops below 5%.
Dual USB 3.0 means exclusive ASUS USB Charger+ can use a powered USB 3.0 port to accelerate the charge-up of any USB device, from smartphones to media players. It fills up batteries in a fraction of the time it takes a normal USB port to do so, saving you both time and energy. It even works when the notebook is turned off, driven by reserve battery power!
While the U24E may feature a standard voltage CPU and a powerful GPU, that doesn’t mean the battery drains quickly. Thanks to ASUS' Super Hybrid Engine, the "Battery Saving" mode intuitively reduces notebook power consumption based on usage for extended battery life.
ASUS notebooks are the first to feature USB 3.0. It delivers transfer speeds of up to 5Gbps, or up to 10 times that of current USB2.0 standards. This allows for faster transfers of large files like HD movies. Devices even recharge faster with 900mA charging; while USB 3.0 incorporates some environmentally-friendly features that save energy – it puts devices in idle or shuts them down when not in use.
If you use your PC for work, you'll want Windows 7 Professional. Advanced backup options help you protect your hard work with automatic backups to your home or business network. And with Windows XP Mode, you can use virtually all of your Windows XP programs in Windows 7.
