Asus U6V-A1, cheap Lamborghini version

This ultraportable laptop has a beautiful design, features and speed comparable to the high-end Lamborghini line but at a reasonable price .

The appearance of the U6V-A1 is still sleek and sharp, similar to Asus Lamborghini

The shape of the machine is not much different from the U6 version made from bamboo, in addition to the skin and the outer colors.

All silver-rimmed frames and bright white chrome keyboards not only create shine, but also limit stains, unlike white plastic keyboard models. The shiny brown color of the lid covers the keyboard with an attractive brown skin. Trackpad shaped with a brown aluminum surface around the silver rim looks very interesting. All the color combination as well as the shape of U6V create elegant and luxurious beauty even without the need for curves or beveled corners.

U6V-A1 is a user-friendly laptop because it is not equipped with separate function keys for multimedia, only volume control is integrated and arrow keys.

The weakness of the device is that the trackpad, especially the mouse pointer, requires a lot of force to manipulate. This sounds simple, but if you use a laptop very smoothly, every time you need to use a mouse, you have to stop typing to press. The downside is that it usually appears in models before 2003, most manufacturers have overcome it.

Between the two mouse points is the fingerprint recognition component. Besides, Asus also provides the machine with face-recognition capability, but many recent recommendations suggest that this security is not safe because it is not highly accurate.

Asus U6V extends with USB port, SD / MMC / SD-HC / MS-Pro card reader, modem, RJ45, VGA, in addition to eSata port to expand storage capacity. U6V equipped with HDMI signal output for audio signals, high definition images. In particular, the standard 54mm ExpressCard slot actively supports advanced wireless connection applications, such as 3G / HSDPA .

The screen of the U6V is only 12.1 inches, but thinner than the regular ultraportable laptop screen and has a resolution of 1,280 x 800 pixels. Sharp color and display, even when used in sunlight. Limited viewing angles below 45 degrees do not blur many parts of the image.

It is powered by Montevino processor Intel Core 2 Duo P8400, high clock speed, but power saving. Other strengths are in discrete graphics cards, instead of using built-in chips to save space and power. The NVIDIA GeForce 9300M GS 256 MB chip is not necessarily an optimal platform for a mobile gaming machine, but the video processing capability is much higher than the ultraportable in the market.

Laptop uses 3 cell or 8 cell battery. If you require compact, 3 cell type will be quite comfortable by limiting the weight for the machine (only about 1.6 kg both machine and battery). But with a machine with a discrete graphics card, low capacity battery is not suitable. If you use an 8 cell battery, the machine weighs only over 0.3 kg, in return, you do not need to worry about carrying the charger adapter.

Compared with Lamborghini brothers VX3, U6V can not compete well. But with the same features, beautiful design, small, thin screen, for about 1,720 USD, this machine is a replacement model for those who "love" Lamborghini but limited budget.

Advantages:

- Strong configuration
- eSata port for high speed external storage
- Discrete graphics card

Defect:

- No Fire Wire port
- Battery life is not high with 3 cell version.
