Pros:
Slick, classy design with lots of options in a small package. Built-in optical drive, two batteries. |
 |
Cons:
Trackpad wasn't sensitive enough. A bit small for our taste. Graphics performance lags. |
|
| Conclusion: |
|
| The Asus U2E isn't about surprises, but in the realm of ultraportable laptops, often surprises are a bad thing. Like, surprise! There's no optical drive! Or, surprise! There aren't enough USB ports! Instead, the U2E has all the connectivity and features of a shrunk-down full-size laptop, at less than three pounds. Unfortunately, with the smaller exterior comes a lighter processor and integrated graphics, which means performance takes a hit. But you'll probably be so busy stroking the leather that you won't notice the slowdown. |
