ASUS U44SG-XS71 review

ASUS U44SG-XS71
ASUS U44SG-XS71 Intel Core Processor Family Thinnest 14" notebook with standard voltage Intel Core CPUs Ultra-thin 14" form factor at only 0.75" 2nd generation Intel Core standard voltage CPU and NVIDIA GeForce 610M graphics 10-hour battery life thanks to ASUS Super Hybrid Engine II and NVIDIA Optimus technologies Fast performance with up to 256GB SSD and USB 3.0
U44 notebooks offer an ultra-thin and ultra-light design that's only 0.75" thick and 3.75lbs with a 8-cell battery. Using a slim 0.9cm bezel, they pack more power and features alongside a 14" screen into a compact 13"-sized body, making them easy to carry in any situation. At the same time, the nano-coated alloy body presents superior durability, contributing to effortless carriage and peace of mind.
While thin and light, U44 notebooks deliver full 2nd generation Intel Core performance with standard voltage CPU versions that exceed the output of CULV models. This means faster and smoother multimedia and multitasking, while the added strength of new NVIDIA GeForce 610M discrete graphics enables better gaming and HD video.
With advanced ASUS Super Hybrid Engine II technology managing energy consumption to optimize efficiency and performance for each task, U44 notebooks keep working up to 10 hours without recharging. NVIDIA Optimus technology contributes to this, intelligently switching between full power and moderate GPU tasking as needed. Solid state drive storage makes the new U44's especially fast and durable in mobile use. SSDs expedite data access well beyond the limits of mechanical drives, and are much more resistant to shocks. Models available with up to 256GB SSDs. All U44 notebooks offer USB 3.0, which works up to ten times faster than USB 2.0.
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.
