Coated in piano black, with extremely deep set, blue reflective
particles and with trims of silver, the new Asus U series manages to
evoke a sensation of stylishness right out of the box.The design of the
ASUS U80v is inspired by one of the world�s thinnest creations, the
wings of a butterfly, and also features subtly shimmering glitters on
the LCD lid. It boasts a slim and elegant profile, which resembles the
curvature of the wings of a butterfly once opened.
Opening to the inside, you'd swear you were presented with the PC
equivalent of the MacBook. Chiclet-style keys (
DELL Alienware M17X laptop batteries), a backlit keyboard and a
multi-touch touchpad with lights that follow the touch of your finger
are the orders of the day. A single sensor on the left adjusts the
brightness of the screen dynamically depending on the environment
you're in, as well as auto-switching off the keyboard backlight when
things get bright enough. Unlike the MacBook, the user has control over
the brightness, able to set three different levels, or switch it off
entirely.
The 14-inch glossy, 1366x768 screen is attached to a circular hinge,
meaning no ports are on the back � only the front and sides. An air
vent sits on the left-hand side, meaning left handed external mouse
users may feel a warm breeze during use.
Features
The
ASUS U80 is equipped with the ASUS AI Light sensor technology,
which monitors the surrounding conditions around the user, and then
makes subtle adjustments to the brightness of the illuminated keyboard,
touch-pad, as well as the display in response to environmental
lightning.
The multi-touch touchpad is one of the best we've used on the PC, but
still doesn't come close to the slickness and reliability of the Apple
equivalent. Just like the Apple, dragging two fingers up (
DELL Studio 1535 laptop batteries), down, left or
right scrolls the screen; pinching the fingers zooms in and out; and
holding down one finger and moving another in a semi-circle motion
rotates images. Where it differs is in the tapping � by default tapping
with three fingers acts as a right mouse button, while tapping with two
produces a middle click. Swiping three fingers down quickly opens the
task manager, tapping three fingers then double tapping with the third
opens a magnifier, and swiping left or right with three fingers will
function as page up or page down.
Sadly, the only motions that really act reliably is the two-finger
scrolling and the two-finger tap. The three-finger motions often get
jumbled and do something opposite to what you were expecting, or
perform the two-finger actions. Rotating often gets confused with
zooming. Ultimately, you'll end up using the two-finger scrolling a
lot, and likely change the two-finger tap to right-click. Or you could
simply use the supplied single mould mouse button. Either way, once
you've gone multi-touch it's hard to return to the old scroll-zones way
of thinking.
Three USB ports are present, as is gigabit Ethernet, VGA and HDMI
ports, headphone and microphone jacks, an Express Card 34 slot, SD card
reader and a DVD -RW drive. Oddly missing from the U80V is an eSATA
port, something Asus has championed since the beginning � presumably
this is down to the size of the
laptop, as the larger U50 includes one.
Performance
Internally, the U80V includes an Intel Core 2 Duo T9400 @ 2.53GHz, 2GB
RAM, a 500GB hard drive and an ATI Radeon HD 4570, all running on
Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit. This lead to some moderate
performance in the benchmark stakes, scoring 2615 in 3DMark06 and 2918
in PCMark05, making it suitable both for light gaming and productivity
work. With all power-saving features turned off, screen brightness and
volume set to maximum and an Xvid file played back at full screen the
ASUS A32-U80
laptop battery lasted two hours, 51 minutes. This is a worst-case
scenario � during light office work and internet browsing expect it to
last significantly longer.
The U80V is without question our favourite 14-inch laptop, and Asus
deserves praise for what it has achieved here. If the company can
overcome the final stumbling block of having a reliable multi-touch
touchpad on PC, we'll be thoroughly impressed indeed.
Accompanied by removal of light and strong all-round performance to
enjoy, people also hope to find in the hot summer cool feeling
comfortable, this to meet your needs. U80V especially

I was very apprehensive about buying the AO751h battery because I had used acer
UM09A41 batteries for my
ACER AO751h-1192 laptop . In fact, I was comfortable enough with AO751h that I had become the sort-of neighborhood mechanic. When it came time to choose a battery for
ACER Aspire One 751h, I had in the back of my mind the aesthetic appeal of the good-battery.com. After what seemed like endless searching, I came upon the other site, which hadn't even begun to ship to the US yet. So, I put most of my eggs into one basket and decided upon the good-battery.com. In a matter of minutes, I was sold.
