ASUS U36SD-XA1 Notebook Review: The Battery That Never Dies

[news 28]

One of the most accomplished manufacturers of this type of laptop is

ASUS, which has been building U-Series ultraportables for several

years now. WeÂ’ve generally given them high marks here, but now there

is a new model to check out, the updated U36. Unlike the stylish U33

Bamboo, this model is a tough, simple laptop that seems to take ques

from LenovoÂ’s ThinkPads. Has this compromised the series? LetÂ’s find

out.

Quote: "All of these laptops are competitive with the U36 in

performance and features (though you canÂ’t always grab an SSD), but

they do lose out in one area - battery life. If you donÂ’t need a

laptop that can last eight hours on a charge, you may be better off

with the competition. But if you do need that kind of endurance, the

U36 is so far superior that it becomes the clear winner with low

voltage processors and NVIDIA Optimus. The enhanced gaming performance

on this model may also be of some appeal, though it's still far from

sufficient for serious gaming."
