ASUS U35JC-A1 review

ASUS U35JC-A1 The capable GPU runs it all way better than those underpowered, bland compact notebooks the other guys make, plus it supports NVIDIA CUDA parallel computing for optimized performance and great energy savings. An elegant brushed aluminum lid keeps it extremely light too. On the contrary, a pair of Altec Lansing® speakers, complemented by SRS Premium Sound™ technology, produces full-bodied high fidelity audio that will tantalize the most discerning of listeners.

Experience FastBoot, the unique performance boost for Windows 7 made possible by ASUS’s close partnership with Microsoft. With ASUS exclusive FastBoot technology, Windows 7 64-bit-enabled ASUS notebooks start up in a staggering 30 seconds. That is 40% faster than 32-bit operating systems. System performance is subject to system configuration. This data is based on a comparison between a FastBoot-optimized ASUS notebook running 64-bit Windows 7 and an identically-configured notebook without FastBoot running 32-bit Windows Vista. With HDMI – the industry standard digital interface, a single cable will support standard, enhanced, or high-definition video and plus multi-channel digital audio while ensuring data integrity during transfers offering a smooth highway for HD contents to get from any device to your notebook for display! In addition to the unique technologies and software features, U Series from ASUS unveils the latest Express Gate that empowers users with the simplest usage experience. This additional built-in operating system enables ultra fast boot up for access to a host of most commonly used features, including web browser, instant messenger, Skype, photo manager, music player and online gaming. Totally convenient and totally innovative – that´s the ASUS way! the U35JC features not one, but two energy-optimizing technologies that work in concert to ensure that the notebook stays running for an incredible 11.5 hours! Super Hybrid Engine intelligently cuts back on power when the notebook is performing less demanding tasks, while NVIDIA® Optimus™ technology auto-switches between the dedicated GeForce G310M and integrated GPU to suit the intensity of the graphics being rendered—making sure that not an ounce of energy is wasted!
