Asus U36JC A1 user reviews (Core i5 460M 2.53GHz - 13.3" TFT)

Pros Lightweight, fast, smooth.

Cons No optical drive, extremely poor sound quality for the money, comes with A LOT of preinstalled programs (if that kind of thing bothers you!)

Summary I am having mixed feelings about this laptop. I think that for the money it should be a magnificent computer, but instead it's just decent. However, this review is coming from a person who normally uses a 16" laptop and has only had this laptop for a week, so I think I'm biased towards getting overall better computers, rather than highly portable ones (and therefore I made a mistake thinking I could live with "highly-portable" standards, such as having a 13" screen and poor quality speakers). I think I will return it.

Pros Very thin , very light , very powerful , good graphics card

Cons Mouse buttons make a little noise but nothing too serious . No WIFI on / off switch on the laptop itself . No optical drive but who really uses CD/DVD these days anyway

Summary I have had this laptop for 1 month now and not one single complaint . I have previously had Dell , Lenovo and HP so I thought it was time to give the ASUS a go . For its price in the portability and performance market well worth the money .

Pros This laptop is light,the screen is bright,the keyboard handles beautifully,very good processor,great finish

Cons I wish the power cord had a sort of accidental trip plug-in like the Mac Book Pro,so that if you accidentally trip over the wires,you don't bring the laptop down.

Summary This laptop looks and feels very classy,with great handling,a solid replacement for a desktop in terms of sheer power with great finish.

Pros Performance: Very fast performance and response time (both CPU and hard drive response time is fantastic)
Portability: Very light weight, super thin.
Adapters: USB 3.0 support (excellent), multiple USB 2.0, SD reader, hdmi
Video support: Dual Card (o

Cons LAN Adapter: The LAN Adapter doesn't fully "lock in" the ethernet cable. However, not a show stopper since once you put the cable in, it seems to stay in, but if you jolt the laptop it could come out.
Some bloatware on install: Suggest removing it.

Summary Excellent laptop overall. Great Portabilty (lightweight), great battery life, fast performance of apps, fast hard drive, usb 3.0 support, hdmi support and excellent graphics support since it uses the Nvidia optimus.
