Asus U20A Review


Certainly never seen a butterfly with beautiful wings flying to and fro is not it? Well, strength, beauty, and thinness of butterfly wings that’s inspired when designing notebook Asus with these U20A series.

Therefore, despite the wide screen, 12.1 “, Asus U20A designed not as thick and heavy as notebooks in its class. Thinnest part of the notebook is 2.75 cm, while the most 2.9 cm thick. The weight of the following notebook 6-cell battery it was only 1.834 kg. In fact this notebook comes complete with an optical drive, aka DVD-RW drive. Li-Ion battery of its own weight 298 grams.


One cause of light and thin U20A is the use of Intel processors CULV (consumer ultra low voltage), the Intel SU2700 combined with the Intel GS45 chipset, X4500 graphics MHD and a Wi-Fi Link 5100 Wi-Fi. Thin and light notebooks with long-lasting batteries, plus an affordable price is going up the ladder of popularity. More days, more and more notebook of this type available in the market, such as Acer and MSI Slim Timeline X.

But if Asus was able U20A beat his rivals? Let us examine one by one facility of this thin notebook.

Physical
We start from the outside view. Like most notebooks, Asus U20A body made of plastic. All the shiny black body. In the middle of the glossy cover that Asus logo appears.

As usual, the glossy cover was pretty inviting enough fingerprint impressions that we must often wipe. The same thing happened with palmrest panel and LCD frame.

Minimal Screws
Let us turn this notebook for a while. At the bottom we will see the two compartments. Close hinges are smaller, and is a place of memory. DDR memory compartment is only locked by one screw, so easy to open if we want to upgrade memory.

The other compartment is where the hard drive. This compartment is also minimal screws, only guarded by two screws. The lack of screws is easier for us to upgrade their own hard drive.

Screen
When his cover is opened we will see the layer-featured LCD LED-backlit. Size 12.1 “with a resolution of 1280×800 pixels standards. LCD screen is framed by a glossy black panel with cover U20A. There was little effect of reflection from this shiny frame.

Display LED backlit screen was bright, sharp, clear, and precise. At any level of 50 percent, the display is looking very bright. Light level adjustable LCD itself, or from sensors that will adjust the light level in the room where the notebook.

Webcams
In the middle of the LCD panel, as usual, installed a 2-megapixel Webcam. Activate by double-clicking on the menu icon LifeFrame. This camera can set the frequency. When you first activated, you will be presented box contains the location and the recommended frequency of Asus. Webcam quality was good, almost without pause. Images looked bright and clear.

Results recorded images can be saved in BMP, JPG, or GIF. Quite a few options that can be done by recording the picture. Among other images can be added emotion, frames, accessories, date. Resolution images can be selected between 160×120, 176×144, 320×240, 640×480, and 1280×1024.

Sequential shooting (continuous shot) shall be done. The options are 3, 5, 12, or 15 frames per second. If the room where the object is felt less light, do not forget to turn on the flash. Moda bidiknya can choose between Night Scene, Portrait, Slow Shutter and Custom.

Voice recorder is also available in LifeFrame applications. What’s interesting is Game bid. Here, two images can be positioned in a frame, with a choice: vs.., Pair?, And the symmetry face. The effect is very interesting. Symmetry face if elected, it will present a vertical white lines on the screen Webcam. Position your face in the line, and see the effect. If you’re down, on the right side of your face will attend the ‘fat’ and on the left side of the present version of the ‘thin’.

Clean the Rear
The back of the notebook is clean. No nothing there, except slot Li-Ion batteries. So when I first had to charge the rechargeable batteries, we got confused. We did not find a hole to plug, DC plug-in at the back of this. On the other sides we did not find the hole. Inquired had inquired, was the DC-in jack hidden in a rounded right hinge – a clever way to make the notebook is clean of the hole.

Condition of the back of the net from this hole with two opposite sides of a solid port. Look at the right side. Besides DC hole-in at the hinge, each present a single USB port, LAN port, an ExpressCard slot and a DVD-RW drive.

We shifted to the left side. Well, this side really colonized various ports. There are two USB 2.0 ports located by a separate air vent, a VGA port, one HDMI port and SD card slot. Appearing in the front two jacks: microphone and headphones.

Meanwhile at the front, two Altec Lansing speakers ready to let out the sound. Unfortunately in our opinion, the sound quality of big named players is less clear. His bass-less steady.

Keyboard and Touchpad
Keyboard panel is impressive U20A. The buttons have a light sensor and could be burning brightly in the darkness. To turn on the light sensor, press Fn-A. Light level can be controlled by pressing Fn-F3/F4/F5.

These buttons is wide enough to each other so comfortable to wear. No need too loud knock on every button.

Who also seized the attention of the touchpad. Not because of the width and right-left buttons into one button that turns out wide chrome uncomfortable suppressed because it was a little inside. But since this touchpad also be lit with a pattern of dots follow the direction of movement of our fingertips.

As a result, this notebook can actually be used perfectly in total darkness, including in aircraft. For all glowing – keys, display, and touchpad – by itself. Unfortunately U20A touchpad is too sensitive, especially if used for a long time.

Wireless Features
For wireless connections in the U20A, Asus provides Intel’s Wi-Fi 802.11/draft-n, and Bluetooth v2.1. Just do not look for Wi-Fi switch on the body of this notebook.

In this notebook, Asus liked the style shortcut keys to control various things. So to activate or turn off the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, we need to press Fn-F2 key.

Two Power Button
Maybe you will be confused to see there are two power buttons – each on the left and right upper panel of the keyboard. Both activate the computer.

The difference is, the power button on the left is a shortcut button, to turn into notebooks without operating system or access the hard disk. The emphasis will activate special modes Asus Express Gate. Express Gate adaah basically a mini operating system. This mode is very useful for those who are always mobile, and often need to the Internet or view files quickly.

Within eight seconds left after the power button is pressed, the notebook can be used.
We can listen to music or watching movies from the CD / DVD or USB flash disk, call via Skype, and talk (chat) with instant messaging, including playing games online via a wireless connection (Wi-Fi).

We are also free to look at pictures or images on the USB flash disk or digital camera connected to a notebook via a USB port Photo Manager. Read PDF files that fester in the USB flash disk can be by clicking on the file twice.

We just can not keep or take anything to / from disk. System-based Asus Express Gate Splashtop operating system it’s not accessing the notebook hard disk, including operating system activates. That’s why quick access.

To exit the ExpressGate mode, just turn off the computer off via the power button that appears at the bottom right corner of the screen. Or choose to go to the OS, which will enable the notebook as if we press the power button to the right. In normal conditions, we can access anything on the hard drive. It took 1 minute 32 seconds before the bersistem notebook Windows Vista Ultimate can be used.

Bundle Software
Asus software membundelkan enough in his U20A. For software, is paired Adobe Reader 9 and MS Office (trial version), Cyberlink DVD Suite, Lightscribe Direct Disc Labeling, and Picasa 3.

In addition there is Asus Multiframe and LifeFrame to activate the Webcam. Another bonus is the Norton Internet Security antivirus for free for three months.

Included in a SmartLogon Asus Utility Manager, AI Recovery Burner, Splendid Utility, and Asus FancyStart. Splendid Utility controls the screen with six options: Normal, Gamma, Vivid, Theater, Soft, and My Profile. To My Profile, you can set their own color temperature, RGB sync, colorfulness, and save it to a hotkey.

Manager SmartLogon quite interesting, because it allows us to login by using faces. Webcams will be automatically switched on in here and ask us to enter the password and press Capturing photos to create a gallery face. Logon level can be selected from the most stringent (high) to loose (low).

Meanwhile FancyStart used to change the startup screen. Here we can adjust the sound options, background images, frames and modes that will be displayed.

Battery
Our test unit came standard with DDR2 3GB RAM, hard disk 2.5 “320GB and battery 4400mAh Li-Ion 10.8 V Batteries weighing 298 grams was able to support notebook – in our experiments – a maximum of 4 hours 12 minutes. This is when we activate this feature Power4Gear Entertainment batteries.

In other settings, namely Battery Saving, notebooks can be used for 3 hours 24 minutes. While the High Performance setting, time-life to 3 hours 49 minutes.

Power4Gear battery usage settings (High Performance, Entertainment, Quiet Office, Battery Saving) is diaturkan Asus, but we can also change or add it yourself. Entertainment Power4Gear example, will turn off the display within 5 minutes if the notebook uses power from the batteries, or 15 minutes when using the power from the grid. Computers also will be included in the sleep mode after 15 minutes. While in High Performance, nothing is off when the notebook using the power from batteries or from the grid.

Mouse Free
In packaging, in addition to batteries and charger, Asus includes a mini optical mouse. This optical mouse connected via USB cable to be parsed from around the mouse body. But in our opinion, the mouse is less comfortable to wear due to lack of precision.

One thing about the adapter. Our test unit equipped with a charger Asus with two flat feet. As a result when power will recharge the batteries, we have to use the converter – a little inconvenient.
***

U20A Asus is compelling because it can be used even in total darkness. Unfortunately after about 1 hour use, the bottom of the unit was quite hot, so recommended to always use a mat or as a portable lap desk.

One note, the unit we tested was quite different from the units on the market. For example, the processor and RAM on our test unit is a 1.3 MHz Intel SU2700 and 3GB RAM DDR2, while on the market higher, the Intel Core 2 Solo ULV 1.4 GHz Su3500 with 4GB of RAM DDR2. Also our test unit mengemaskan and 320GB hard drive 2MP Webcam, while circulating in the market and 500GB hard drive provides 1.3 MP Webcam with 6-cell battery is claimed to stand working 8 hours, and additional bonus in the form of bags. But both are sold without operating systems.

PLUS: The light sensor on the keyboard, screen and touchpad; rich software bundle; international warranty; bright screen; Express Gate; RAM and hard drive upgrades easy.

MINUS: A bit of heat; feet flat adapter

Asus G51VX-RX05 Gaming Notebook Review

Recently, we've seen the meteoric rise of netbooks in the mobile space. Their ultra portability in conjunction with the global economic climate seems to have led consumers to think twice about spending large amounts of cash on mobile devices. This is especially true when netbooks offer the same basic services (word processing, internet surfing, email) for a considerably smaller investment than most other models. But with netbooks, problems surface when users want to do more than just the basic tasks. While no one can argue against their usability, size, and price point, netbooks don't have the processing power to play the latest games or handle significant multimedia workloads, which are key to meeting the demands of gamers and enthusiasts.


With their Eee PC line of products, Asus has been at the forefront of the netbook revolution. However, they've also got an extensive line-up of full-sized notebooks that was recently expanded with a new gaming machine aimed at mainstream consumers, combining strong graphics performance and surprising affordability. The G51VX-RX05 is a member of the Asus Republic of Gamers line targeted at the performance enthusiast market and features a Core 2 Duo processor, 4GB of DDR2 memory, an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260M GPU, a 15.6" LCD display, a spacious 320GB hard drive, and Windows Vista 64-bit operating system. While those specs are appealing, the most attractive feature we can list is the competitive asking price, which currently sits at about $1049. With the new school year just around the corner, we know consumers are in the market for notebooks that provide the best performance for their dollar, so let's take a closer look at what the G51VX has to offer.

Asus G51Vx-RX05

Dimensions :14.6" x 10.3" x 1.6" (WxDxH)
Warranty :1 Year Parts / Labor
Price :$1049

Stepping in at 14.6" x 10.3" with a weight of 7.3 lbs, the G51Vx is not ideal for everyday travel. While more portable than high end desktop replacement notebooks, we would still consider it a full size laptop better fit for just occasional trips, rather than the business traveler on the go.

In reality, we think it would be perfect for a college dorm room, where portability is less important and a full feature set and functionality prerequisite. That said, the G51Vx was designed for maximum gaming performance at an affordable price. It's also one of the first machines we've tested with NVIDIA's new GeForce GTX 260M mobile graphics processor under its hood. So let's take a closer look at this new Asus-built hot rod; then we'll take her for a ride around the test track.

Asus Eee 1008HA Seashell Netbook Review


Our review partner Digital Trends tested the Asus Eee 1008HA Seashell Netbook and published this review.
Quote from the review: "Strip away the plastic shell, aluminum cladding and Chiclet-style keys, and every netbook boils down to almost exactly the same hardware. They all seem to share about 90 percent of their DNA – which is why many companies are starting to look past the stagnant hardware inside and turning to the outside as a way to stand out.


Asus already joined the party with the fashion-savvy S101, then with the metal-clad 1002HA, and now continues its quest for thin with the 1008HA Seashell. It may not pull anything unusual under the hood, but super-slim dimensions and a sleek shell make it one of the most lust-worthy netbooks we’ve laid eyes on."

Asus N90SV-A2 Review



The Asus N90SV-A2 desktop replacement laptop is roughly the size of two 15-inch notebooks turned vertically and placed side by side. Movies and games look great on the large (18.4-inch diagonal), bright, full-HD-resolution (1920 by 1080) screen. (Asus recently released a more game-focused laptop of similar size, the Asus W90VP.)


Some of the bulk results from dubious design choices. For instance, the bezel on the sides of the screen is an inch thick, and a lot of unused space surrounds the keyboard.

"Instant keys" to the left of the keyboard provide one-click control over such functions as launching the laptop's ExpressGate software, cycling between display profiles, locking the touchpad, and cycling between energy profiles. But the keys are rather small in comparison to the space they occupy, owing to the large volume wheel situated directly beneath them. The instant keys glow with a bright blue backlighting that seems impossible to turn off and can be quite distracting during movie viewing, unless you plan ahead and have a washcloth handy.

The N90SV-A2 is comfortable to work on. The full-size keyboard has plenty of key travel and a nice clicky feel. Asus even includes a nearly full-size number pad, plus the extrawide Backspace, Enter, Shift, and Ctrl keys everyone loves, and even dedicated arrow keys. The trackpad, on the other hand, seemed to have trouble detecting movement at times, even with its sensitivity cranked up. The single chrome bar button offers no clear distinction between left- and right-click, leading to occasional misclicks.

Asus supplies a multicard slot on the left (near the Blu-ray drive), and on the right an express card slot, two headphone jacks, a mic jack, and two USB ports. On the back, you get two more USB ports, HDMI, VGA, power, and gigabit ethernet; 802.11n Wi-Fi is integrated. The Altec Lansing speakers are located on the upward-sloping front edge of the laptop, so they point down at an angle to your table. Though they sound better than the speakers on most smaller notebooks, speakers on other large desktop replacement models (like the Sony VAIO VGN-AW230J/H) are better still.

In the configuration we tested, priced at roughly $1800 (as of July 15, 2009), the N90SV-A2 packs a 2.66GHz Intel T9550 Core 2 Duo CPU, 4GB of DDR2-800 RAM, a Blu-ray drive, a GeForce GT 130M graphics chip set with 1GB of RAM (essentially the same thing as the GeForce 9600M GT), and 1TB of storage distributed across two 500GB drives (which were curiously split into four 250GB partitions). Though the specs look pretty good for the price, the graphics seemed a little underpowered for a large, heavy entertainment notebook. At its native resolution of 1920 by 1080, I had to disable antialiasing to run Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare at a good clip, for example, and I had to turn down some texture settings in Fallout 3.

Perhaps because of its slower SIS chip set and its 800MHz (as opposed to 1066MHz) RAM, The N90SV-A2 scored an 86 in WorldBench, one of the lowest scores among recent desktop replacement laptops. Gaming performance was good at low resolutions, but Enemy Territory: Quake Wars ran at only 37 frames per second at 1680 by 1050 resolution, and Unreal Tournament III at only 39 fps. The aforementioned Asus W90VP turned in frame rates of 88 fps and 61 fps, respectively, on the same two games. The N90SV-A2 lasted for just over 2 hours in our battery test, but that time shortens if you play demanding games or watch Blu-ray movies.

Speaking of Blu-ray discs, our test system played them wonderfully. Nevertheless, the laptop's screen quality was average: Blacks weren't as dark as we'd like, yielding mediocre contrast; and (as often happens on laptop screens of this size) brightness wasn't uniform--the bottom of the screen always looked more washed out than the top.

The N90SV-A2 has an appealing price, but I'd rather have a faster chip set, faster RAM, and a faster GPU than so much hard drive space. The screen is impressively large, but not great in color or contrast. And the overall notebook design is uninspired, with a fair amount of wasted space and an iffy touchpad.

Asus Eee PC 1005HA netbook review



Are you fed up with netbooks costing almost the same as fully-fledged laptops? Asus brings the concept closer to its humble beginnings with the 1005HA.

If you’re in the market for a netbook and have wondered what’s happened to the low cost, budget focused machines that originally kick-started the genre then you’re not the only ones.

Nowadays prices routinely soar ever closer to the £400 mark. In fact, it's got to the point where the market is crying out for a truly budget-priced netbook. Asus has heeded your call and with the Eee PC 1005HA you might just be in luck.

We liked Asus' premium-priced netbook, the Eee PC 1008HA for its slim, sexy and oh-so-desirable design, but weren't too keen on the price. The 1005HA offers the best of both worlds, blending the affordability of the Eee PC's humble beginnings with the styling of the Seashell.

It's available in two versions: a premium model that squeezes in an Intel Atom N280, Bluetooth, a huge battery and glossy screen; and a cheaper version that settles for an Intel Atom N270, forgoes the Bluetooth, opts for a slightly smaller battery and has only a matte display.

This, the cheaper of the two models, is of most interest. Although it costs a reasonable £286, it looks very similar to the more expensive Seashell. Its smoothly contoured form and shapely curves look good and is available in black or white.

Set the 1005HA next to its slender stablemate, the 1008HA, however, and it won't be the trickiest game of spot the difference you've ever played. The 1005HA is noticeably chunkier - a testament to the freely removable lithium-ion battery at its rear. It's a sacrifice worth making for the extra stamina on offer, not to mention the ability to carry around multiple batteries for long journeys (the Seashell's battery isn't user-replaceable). The 4,400mAh battery manages a decent 6hrs 34mins away from the mains.

The 1005HA extra girth tips the scales at 1.16kg, or 1.41kg if you're envisaging carrying around the petite and portable power supply too. It might be a little heavier than some of the competition, but its extra bulk is allied to sturdy build quality. Pick up the 1005HA by the corner and the chassis feels stiff and creak-free, while both the lid and chassis feel well up to fending off the daily abuse a bag-bound netbook has to suffer.

Are you fed up with netbooks costing almost the same as fully-fledged laptops? Asus brings the concept closer to its humble beginnings with the 1005HA.

The 10.1in display marks another change, supplanting the 1008HA's glossy panel with a matte one. It's a decision that's bound to please many, with the reduced reflectivity making the 1005HA even more suited to a life on the road. Colour reproduction and contrast levels are solid without proving exceptional, but just like that of the Samsung NC10, the matte display does bring with it a noticeably grainy quality.

And despite its markedly lower price the 1005HA loses little in the way of features. Bluetooth is a notable absentee, but its absence leaves room in the budget for draft-n WiFi, which is an impressive sight in a sub-£300 netbook. Peer around its matte-black edges and the 1005HA also manages to squeeze in three USB ports, an SD/MMC card reader and a set of speakers that manage to make music rather than choke it.

It's a similar story when it comes to ergonomics. Where many netbooks find their aspirations dashed by a poor keyboard or a wayward trackpad, the Asus stays firmly on target. It might not reach the tactile delights of Samsung's NC10 or N110, but the keyboard is still very fine. A full-height Enter key is partnered with a refreshingly wide right-Shift key and the layout is spacious and sensible.

The keys don't have much in the way of travel, but their positive action more than makes up for it. Even the strange-looking, dimpled trackpad works well, with multitouch gestures enabling you to quickly zoom in and out of photos or scroll effortlessly through long web pages or documents.

The 1005HA doesn't quite scale the heights of Samsung's superb N110, but for the money it's easy to cut the 1005HA a bit of slack. It's good-looking, well built and just as capable as many far pricier netbooks. If you won't settle for second best at any price then the Samsung N110 still wins out overall, but for most people, the Eee PC 1005HA is the netbook they've always wanted with the price they've always dreamed of.

ASUS Releases Laptop For True Transformers Fan

ASUS has developed a sick looking transformer version of one of its gaming notebooks. Unfortunately, you can't exactly go to the store and buy it.


The Transformers-edition laptop from ASUS is based on the G60 gaming laptop, which features a 15.6" HD display, a quad core processor, a hot Nvidia GeForce GTX 260M GPU, and other such specs befitting a computer that is imitating all powerful robots. It even has a turbo button for instant overclocking. Rumor has it that this model will have a voice activated command of "transform!" to activate this feature (author's note: that rumor is entirely based on the hopes and dreams of this author).

The downside is that it's a one-off production unit designed as a prize for people who pre-register with Odeon Cinemas in the UK.

Asus Eee PC 1000HE Review

Asus started the netbook craze with its tiny, 7-inch Eee PC. Shortly thereafter, every notebook manufacturer except Apple produced at least one tiny and inexpensive laptop just like it. Nowadays, netbooks are not that tiny anymore - little by little they have increased in size from 7" via 9" and now the standard screen size of a netbook is 10 inches. Even a couple of 12-inch models have been released.

Hardware

What they all have in common is the hardware - with a few deviations it consists of an Intel Atom CPU at 1.6GHz, 1GB or RAM, a 160GB hard drive and integrated GMA950 graphics. The Eee PC, however, has been upgraded with an ever so slightly faster 1.66GHz Atom processor and a higher 667MHz FSB speed instead of earlier models which had 533MHz.

The speed increase is not big enough to be noticeable, but you might feel better purchasing an upgraded model. Asus' main selling point with the 1000HE is the battery life. According to the manufacturer, you should be able to keep it alive for 9.5 hours without resorting to an outlet. To achieve this formidable battery life, you need to use aggressive power-saving schemes, no Wi-Fi and turn the brightness all the way down. In our general usage test it still delivered more than 7 hours, which is still more than acceptable.
Design

As far as the design goes, the Eee PC 1000 HE stays with the concept we've seen in previous Eee netbooks. The keyboard is almost full size (92%) and the trackpad buttons are slightly tilted in the front. The entire casing of the netbook is glossy, which enhances the overall look but also attracts fingerprints easily.

On the whole, the design of the 1000HE focuses on usability; it's not spectacularly thin like some of its siblings, such as Asus S101 netbook, but it certainly gets the job done with flying colors. Besides, keeping the design simple also helps keep the price to a minimum, which is often the deciding factor for a netbook buyer.
Connectivity and Features

The ports have been placed on the left- and right-hand sides of the laptop - none at the back. On the right is a memory card reader, 2 USB and VGA and on the left is another USB port, Ethernet, and audio line in/out.
Summary

While there are better looking netbooks on the market, the Eee PC 1000HE comes at a very attractive price point and offers excellent battery life. It's also very easy to use thanks to the large keyboard, and has all the features that the competition offer plus a little extra. Combine these aspects and you have one of the best netbooks currently available.
Asus Eee PC 1000HE Technical Specifications

* Processor Atom N280 1.66GHz
* Memory 1GB DDR2
* Harddrive 160GB
* OS Windows XP Home
* Weight 3lbs
* Screen 10 inches
* Screen resolution 1024x600
* Graphic Card Intel GMA 950
* Battery Life 7.5 hours

ASUS F50Sv-A2 Review

This inexpensive 16-inch multimedia notebook packs speedy performance, gaming punch, and smooth Blu-ray playback. Just keep the power cord handy.

A multimedia machine with flair, the F50Sv-A2 marks ASUS’ entrance into the emerging category of 16-inch notebooks. Thanks to its fast Core 2 Duo processor and Nvidia graphics, this $1,149 system provides stellar performance and graphics punch. Add in a compelling design and included Blu-ray optical drive and you have a serious contender. The sub-2-hour battery life is a definite turn-off, but this desktop replacement offers a lot of bang for your buck.
Design and Ports

Sporting a gray and white pinstripe infusion styling on its scratch-resistant lid, the F50Sv-A2 has an attractive look. The pattern extends under the hood to the palm rest and touchpad where a swirl-like pattern, reminiscent of HP’s Imprint finish, stretches across the deck. Surrounding the display is a glossy black bezel; both it and the palm rest pick up their fair share of fingerprints and smudges. We recommend keeping the included polishing cloth handy.
