ASUS U36 is the World's Thinnest Notebook with a Standard Voltage CPU

[yodais2cool]

does anyone happen to know the name of the song playing?

[kawasakikillerr]

im watching this n the u36sd-dh51 i bog in the mail yesterday! love it!!!! Asus>mac every day.

[SmashedRadio]

I'm sooo buying this!

[npaton2292]

I purchased this laptop 2 weeks ago for travel. It is good however I have one comment: DOESN"T COME CLOSE TO 10 HOURS BATTERY LIFE!

Sure I know it "depends on usage" blah blah... but I am only getting 4.5 hours when using it and when it is sitting there doing absolutely nothing, on battery saving mode, with the screen on min brightness it gets 6 hours. I have even had the battery replaced as I thought it was faulty. The new battery is the same. I've asked ASUS for a second battery but no love.

[CrispyYoshi]

@npaton2292 Are you making sure that the laptop isn't constantly searching for a wireless internet hotspot? That might be why your battery's going down so fast.

[nlee350]

@npaton2292 i have the same notebook. i think you should use the "Power4Gear Battery Saving" settings. They seem to be more effective in extending battery life than the standard windows 7 battery saver mode. assuming that i only browse the web for work purposes and use documents, i get a good 6 hours from it.

[nlee350]

yes i do agree the 10 hours is boasting too much lol. i bought it because it said 10 hours battery life

[Signofevil]

@npaton2292 What battery u have? the 6 or 8 cell one? i 4.5hrs in HighPower mode with lots of tasks running and a FF with 90open tabs.

[d00mch1ld]

Asus U Series are the best in class laptops.

It's a shame not enough people know about them...

[jacakopl]

I have it. So far it's great. The only thing: this video is misleading - the keyboard here looks like it has a backlight - it doesn't.

[fahmiananda]

I want IT!!!!!!

[MrWeenie777]

@thebibleisfiction

nothing runs crysis xD

[syryoyoboy]

i bought this after being an apple fanboy for like half a decade, and this little computer is FEAKING awesome, I'm running win7 and ubuntu and god i love this THING!

[TechKnowlogee]

Nahhhh I'll stick to my G74. Thin is great but nothing can replace big fat performance. ASUS4LIFE

[MrEthekyaa]

Screw Apple! ASUS is innovative and focused on making products for REAL people. Kind of like Apple in its early days.

[baphomet1978]

asus is the shit 

[tansux1]

how much????????????

[S1lentStr1ke]

But the question is - Will it blend?

[Kissablilty]

Ftw

[sortitup]

the samsung s9 is the thinnest laptop

[JakeG895]

@sortitup nope sorry, macbook air holds that medal

[MikeyZeov]

written from my MacBook Air

[WotTehPhok]

@MikeyZeov Why are you looking at videos of other computers?

[MikeyZeov]

@WotTehPhok i just feel panda bacon is too mainstream.

[WotTehPhok]

@MikeyZeov hipster.

[MinpAndCorey4Eva]

0:26 why does internet explorer have the XP theme, and the taskbar is from windows 7?

[stoferr]

Only thing keeping me from buying this is Sandy Bridge just around the corner.. Hopes ASUS makes an update of the U36

[m1scellaneous]

wow this laptop is actually really nice! ASUS never ceases to impress

probably the nicest looking laptop of theirs so far?

[oj43085]

Advertisers come up with the strangest words and pretend that it's proper english. such as "powerfully beautiful"

[SpiritJaivyn]

@oj43085 I don't know about you but those two words really do exist, they're just used in a weird way.

[007k5]

Just as fat as my ass

[TooksterK1500]

ASUS is the one PC I've seen perform consistently well. Every one I've met who has one, loves it. Mine's over a year and a half old and it still runs beautifully. While being surrounded by Macs. When it comes to PCs rivaling Macs, it really comes down to hardware quality and how well the owner takes care of their computer, and ASUS has some nice hardware.

I just hate how my computer is so damn plasticky. Lol. But that's a PC for you. I just love Apple's big chunk of aluminum.

[bro589]

what is meant by "a standard voltage cpu"? like not in intel atom?

[Bandaidification]

@bro589 Correct, it runs an i5

[SuPKrew]

1 person who disliked this owns a macbook air

[Multrakiller]

ASUS eats Apple for breakfest..... so does humans *takes a big bite of the apple*

[mojosirus1]

satisfied to own something that works all the time, go ASUS go!

[lightningwar123]

Asus makes the best laptops!

[ArmyofSeaturtles]

this is about a thousand bucks, more affordable then apples

[staphinfection]

Go ahead and buy your overpriced rotten APPLE that you can't upgrade unless you buy more APPLE BS....

I'll stick to PC and buy great ASUS products at half the price, but with the same performance and spend the rest of the money I saved on other components, or on beer and hookers.

Thank you Apple fanbois for keeping the cost of ASUS products low.

[Soneoak]

@staphinfection Asus sells more computers than apple, what makes you think apple even have a significant share in the desktop market? Asus price remain competitive not because of apple presence. Apple is the anomaly here, their products are overpriced for the hardware quality they provide, and very few people actually use a mac desktop. In uni, apple and windows laptop are split, but the library and offices all run windows, often with some Asus hardware in them. Apple is still a minority.

[TheRatbuster]

but why should sombody buy somthing like that??

it's so thin, it can't have power

[LALOMAN18]

@TheRatbuster Its Asus "world known for super high end technology" it always has power!

[awhcom]

that one person that dosent like this must be an apple fag

[Capilee]

@awhcom LMFAO

[SNOWBOARDERSCZ]

It has a backlit keyboard???

[ariskar]

u31jg has same specs but an NVIDIA 415/425M which is way more powerfu. Weights 100 gr more and has less fancy case. To be released the upcoming week ;)

[scotland282]

ME GUSTA

[TheCrazy135]

U36 a thin laptop

G73 a thick laptop

[visitor2k7]

MacBook Air is still sexier but the steep asking price ($1,500) makes Asus the more attractive. Furthermore, the full voltage iCore5 on Asus will absolutely beat the crap out of the Core Duo on Air. Can't wait to see the reviews on this thing!

[shinsource]

@visitor2k7 Apple has better screens, often overlooked in a laptop but one of the most important features imo.

[LALOMAN18]

@shinsource Apple screens are WSGA which Asus uses on its regular laptops, yet high end Asus Laptops like their gaming versions {like mine }uses the best - WUXGA high Def quality screens and look amazing. So no Apple's screen are not better!

[flutschepfeil]

looks nice, but the 310 is a way too weak for me :/

[dorius16]

@flutschepfeil better than integrated graphics?!!

[flutschepfeil]

@dorius16 yeah but it doesnt make a big difference if i have 2fps or 5 fps ... ;)

[dorius16]

@flutschepfeil haha come on, do you think that it's impossible to play a game like fifa11 at ~30fps screen res medium-low details?

[lausangio]

i'll get it if it actually flies

[david90531]

oops already bought the U35 which is not far off. Asus FTW

[soulj7sli7]

R.I.P .. MacBook Air

[kalijasin]

It is simple, light, and thin. However, the screen size is to small for me.

[SlagarNZ]

Looks awesome. Hmm, 13.3" is a little too big to carry around all the time though. I'd prefer 12" the most, but nothing good seems to fit in that size :(

[Touhou1990]

It's made out of plastic, has a a joke of a keyboard, looks ugly, and probably underperforms when compared to the Macbook Air.

[KumaChikara]

@Touhou1990

Shouldn't you be trolling /v/ and wearing diapers touhou?

[spartand001]

@Touhou1990 cheaper then a over priced mac

nuffsaid

[TheKenshiro13x]

@Touhou1990 You just showed us how illiterate you are, and how much knowledge about computer you have. You can't even read the specification and know if it's better than a MacAir or not. Well, not that I'm surprised from a Mac fanboy LOL

[Barashechath]

Macfag status?

SUPER ULTRA MEGA TOLD

[visitor2k7]

Keyboard looks like back-lit but may be misleading. Also, "Powerfully Beautiful" - what kind of ad phrase is that? Nonetheless, this is shaping up to be one piece of sexy hardware. Let's just hope that the keyboard and battery don't disappoint.

[ImSpartacus811]

Guys, this is kind of a big deal. This laptop is as thin and sturdy as a Macbook Air, but with the guts of a normal laptop.

All for $999. No Apple tax here.

[sperdoch]

this looks awesome.

[qazwsxedcrfvg123]

0:21 - Apple's colors ;)

[mdevilguy112]

Asus always surprises me, but can anyone tell me if Asus laptops are any good??

[LauxHawk]

@mdevilguy112 Yes they are fantastic.

[Medjumurac]

@mdevilguy112

They're bloody brilliant. They're ranked as the most reliable laptops available as well (according to the % of Asus laptops brought in for warranty claims).

The 10 hours of battery life on this thing seems plausible as well. Seeing as a similar model from them promises 12 hours and actually outputs around 11 or so under testing.

[ImSpartacus811]

@mdevilguy112 In my opinion, they are right up there with Apple and the high end. They make some REALLY good laptops.

[smilesterXtrem5]

Asus, you are amazing.

[Alexjakyle]

How much is it pls?

[GreatYeazy]

I wonder if this gets hot easily, anyway. If this is in a good budget I'd be thinking of buying this.

[falmatrix2r]

Hey Apple, how about value for money for once?

I'd pick the U36 anytime even if they give me a MacAir for free

[chinotolentino]

Will It Blend?

[AndreaFranchitti]

macbook air is shit.

[ConGraSta]

This is why I buy asus! Well the mobos ha

[AndreaFranchitti]

@ConGraSta i've got asus MB, 2 asus notebooks and 1 asus DVD-RW.. and soon an asus monitor and video card lol

[ConGraSta]

@AndreaFranchitti well arent u just special lol

[wretchedstare]

That is a nice laptop!

[Illmatic662]

Asus never ceases to amaze me. 19mm is nuts, a couple of year ago that was the same thickness as cell phones.

[mitchlin71]

Not even on the Asus website yet..

[ohnobaby12321]

Woah second lol

[thebibleisfiction]

but does it run crysis lol

[charliepreed]

@thebibleisfiction

Yes

[theskyaboveyou]

@thebibleisfiction yes it does

[kamek1986]

@thebibleisfiction

What is wrong with you? This is not a laptop for gamers. This laptop is created for business and for all, who need laptop on the move.

[thebibleisfiction]

@kamek1986 it was a joke as denoted by the "lol"

[peter72comtw]

@thebibleisfiction-== i dont think asus make this notebook for havey gaming pro ;D.

[ultimateinvito]

@thebibleisfiction nope, but it can make your breakfast

[ben8228]

@thebibleisfiction both, flawlessly on full

[Persason]

@thebibleisfiction Yes Actually it does. Pair the GT520 up with an I3 or I5 and it runs most of todays modern games on pretty high settings.

[FRju2]

@thebibleisfiction its not the point.
