Laptop and Computer Reviews

The Asus U2E is a fun, stylish notebook, and its cowhide couture is bound to turn some heads, though perhaps not those of die-hard Apple fans.The notebook has a Webcam, a fingerprint scanner, and an HDMI port for connecting to a television or to one of the few PC monitors that use that kind of connection.

Asus U2E Ultraportable Laptop Reviews:-

Pcadvisor.co.uk about Asus U2E Ultraportable Laptop Review:- The keyboard had to be shrunk down some to squeeze into the tiny form factor, but it’s still quite serviceable. The Asus U2E’s keys are wide enough for most hands and have a decent enough pitch or slope.

The mouse buttons didn’t make as good an impression. It wasn’t that the buttons are jammed together into a small space, making their use difficult for heavy-handed mousers (many laptop makers are guilty of this design crime); rather, it was that they felt cheap. The Asus U2E’s buttons had so much give, we were afraid they would break.

Engadget.com about Asus U2E Ultraportable Laptop Review:- This is the Vaio TZ’s main competitor, same 11″ screen and form factor. I do like how this can be upgraded to 4gb of ram vs 2gb in the TZ and uses the newer 965 chipset, X3100 graphics vs 945/GMA 900 in TZ. And VGA and micro-DVI output vs just VGA output in the TZ.

By the way, I am a Sony fan and own the TZ130N/B model and love it. Though my future may be Asus. I hear their notebooks get mediocre battery life in general, but if their battery benchmarks are true, its quite impressive and on par with the TZ. My next notebook may be Asus’s next U series with Montevina. But I can’t wait to see the successor to the TZ also. With the previous U1E, the ram and hard drive were both accessible on the bototm, why did you remove that from its sequel Asus? Its the same as the TZ now.

Infosyncworld.com about Asus U2E Ultraportable Laptop Review:- The Asus U2E is built more for power conservation and traveling than it is for performance, and though our tests seemed to bear this out, it still fared nicely in average tasks. For instance, opening multiple windows and Web pages hardly slowed the system down, though it’s 3DMark benchmark score, at 438, was unsurprisingly pathetic. But nobody is buying this as a gaming machine, so graphics performance wasn’t a key issue for us. Unfortunately, we were also unimpressed by the device’s performance in networking tasks. Whether connected by Ethernet or Wi-Fi to our home network, we saw much slower downloads on the U2E than any of the other machines on the same setup. As we mentioned earlier, the U2E never correctly identified our (Apple) wireless-n router, and lagged behind our Apple and Dell laptops in downloading tests over the wired LAN.
