Design
The design is something that can not be taken lightly in the mainstream category, because competition is fierce. Like its predecessor, the user-A1 Asus U41JF anything but the best materials, the assembly of the lid and palm rest area of aluminum. The U41JF-A1 looks more square than other Asus U45Jc-A1, thickened, probably to accommodate the most powerful components and bulky. At 4.7 pounds, it is still lighter than Samsung QX410 (5 lbs), HP Envy 14-1110NR ($ 1,050 list, 4 stars) (5.5 lb), and gateway ID49C13u ($ 849.99 for Street, 4 stars) (4.9 pounds).
The 14-inch widescreen display is great and pleasing to the eye, but small enough for a table tray carriers. This is larger than that of the 13-inch MacBook Pro, and spacious enough for two sheets side by side application windows. Its 1366 x 768 is common in the consumption of 14-inch laptop with the Envy 14 ($ 1,286 direct, 4 stars) with the only exception (which has the possibility of a resolution of 1600 x 900 screen). My only complaint about the U41JF-A1 is that the keyboard is folded, but not serious enough for me to hate the experience of writing. This is a full-size keyboard, placed in a form of chewing gum many other 14-inch laptop seems to be using now. I am satisfied with the browsing experience: The mouse buttons were not too strong, and the touchpad is sensitive and spacious. More importantly, not to complicate the experiment Asus trying to imitate Apple ClickPad, which is more than I can say about the HP Envy 14-1110NR, ID49C13u Gateway, Samsung and QX410-J01.
Characteristic
The output tray of the DVD is a more generic as the loading slot in the MacBook Pro 13-inch Samsung QX410-J01. The laptop has all the major ports including three USB ports, HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)-D, Ethernet, VGA (Video Graphics Array)-Out, and audio jacks. A 4-in-1 memory card reader accepts multiple card formats and is the facade. Asus U41JF-A1 hard drive capacity, meanwhile, was increased to 500 GB (the U45Jc-A1 had a hard drive 320), greater still is the hard disk of 640 GB in the QX410-J01 and Envy 14-1110NR.
Performance
Asus has drawn the line on the Intel Core i3, while others, such as QX410 Samsung, HP Envy 14-1110NR and ID49C13u Gateway processors used as the basis for high i5. This is a hand played well, as Asus has the highest version clock speed of this series, the i3-380M 2.53 Nucleus know the laptop was also a good graphics chip. Does not have to bear the cost of premiums, or the extra heat that comes with a Core i5. Paid in performance tests, as the handbrake (2:38), Cinebench R11.5 (2.39), and Adobe Photoshop CS5 scripts (4:52), where A1, Asus U41JF obtained the highest scores . In short: The U41JF-A1 can produce a video, running a multithreaded application, and complete a high quality image rendering faster than the HP Envy 14, J01-QX410 Samsung Gateway and ID49C13u. This is a fast laptop, although not the fastest processor in the paper.
Nvidia GeForce 425M graphics chip is a significant step up from the GeForce 310M can be found in its predecessor. It is legal gaming laptop now, because it can handle Crysis (46.6 fps), and Lost Planet 2 (33.6 fps), more than 30 frames per second (medium settings). Score in 3DMark 06 (8189) has doubled the U45Jc-A1 (3799) and QX410-J01 (4200). Compared to other graphics chip, the chip will be somewhere 425M 330M GeForce chips ID49C13u can be found, and an ATI Mobility Radeon 5650 is in Envy 14-1110NR. When the GeForce 425M is not used, for example, when browsing the Web or on battery power, the system returns to the integrated Intel graphics chip, the switching mechanism with Nvidia graphics calls to the Optimus.
Battery life is always determined by the size of the battery, as the placement of the components of the system can only go so far. That's why the Asus U45Jc-A1, with its monstrous 84WH battery lasted one hour 27 minutes 9 huge. The U41JF-A1 was given a battery of similar size (83WH), and if not last as long as its predecessor, a score of 8 hours 19 minutes is much larger than the MacBook Pro (5:05) and QX410-J01 (6 : 27) could find.
Consumer notebooks that can be your way through all the work of the muscles are not hard to find, but I found one with a battery that can last a whole day. Does not happen very often. The Asus U41JF-A1 contains the left-A1 Asus U45Jc, combining some of the fastest parties, the highest clocked Core i3 and Nvidia GeForce 425M GT graphics chip, with the largest available battery . No other portable consumer market, these strikes a sound balance between performance and battery life.
