ASUS U36SG-DS51 review

ASUS U36SG-DS51
ASUS U36SG Ultra Portable Notebook ASUS U36 is a first 19mm thin notebook with Intel standard voltage CPU Ultra slim 19mm notebook with powerful Intel standard voltage i5 processor Experience 10X Transfer Speeds with USB 3.0 Weighs about 3.7 lbs with 8 cell battery for up to 10 hours of battery life Exclusive Lightweight AL-MG Alloy LCD cover for a refined yet rugged look


In the past, having a notebook that was thin and lightweight meant sacrificing performance. Introducing the ASUS U36SG-DS51, the world's first 19mm thin notebook with an Intel standard voltage CPU. Along with ASUS Super Hybrid Engine technology giving a boost in performance when needed, the U36SG offers the absolute best combination of performance for the size. With the U36SG weighing in at a mere 3.7 lbs with a large 8-cell battery, it is also the lightest notebook with a standard voltage CPU, challenging the way you think about lightweight notebooks.
Like humans, the harder a computer works, the hotter its internal temperature gets. With the ASUS U36SG notebook, ASUS engineers tackled this problem by developing exclusive thermal technology to keep not only the system cooler, but the palm rest area as well. Using dual lightweight heat pipes and an efficiently-designed layout, heat is transferred away from the palm rest for a more comfortable user experience.
The ASUS U36SG features a super lightweight, yet highly durable magnesium-aluminum alloy cover that can handle the rigors of being transported around all day, yet still looks refined and distinguished. An easy to clean silky nanometer coating on the palm rests helps ease the stress of extended workdays while keeping the notebook looking clean by repelling dirt.
While the U36 features a standard voltage CPU and a powerful GPU, its battery doesn't drain quickly. That's why the U36 features energy-optimizing technology that works to ensure it stays running up to an incredible 10 hours. NVIDIA Optimus technology auto-switches between the dedicated GT 520M GPU and integrated graphics to suit the intensity of the visuals being rendered, resulting in a longer 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.
