Asus U32U Notebook Review

ASUS offers an exciting new product. Asus U32U become an attractive alternative for those of you who want to have ultrabook but have a limited budget. With fresh APU (Accelerated Processing Units) processor from AMD, Asus offers advantages in battery durable and attractive prices.

AMD previously is quite successful on the basis of APU to update on their processors. This step raises the CPU E-450, to replace the E-350 is prepared for the entry level notebook (Brazos platform). Now Zacate APU-based notebook series (series E with a TDP of 18 watts) is more often used, such as in Asus U32U. E-450 processor has been equipped with the Radeon HD 6320 graphics chip is fast enough (600 MHz).

One of the benefits of E-450 processors on the Radeon HD U32U located at 6320 which paired the CPU to boost a more powerful graphics capabilities. In this way, the notebook-based E-450 would win hands down compared Atom netbook lineup that still rely on onboard Intel graphics. With this composition, I expect an increase in performance may be more pronounced in 3D graphics.

Design
U32U Asus design is similar to other U3x line, which emphasizes aspects of sleek with minimalism round ornaments. The facilities available are fairly standard but provides two USB 3.0 ports are increasingly popular. This product comes with a cover based magnesium-alloy are strong but lightweight. Coating the palmrest with nano technology make the touch feels soft. This makes ASUS U32U remains an elegant as economical version of the notebook.

If there is one operating system with a market share of more than 70%, very difficult to get people not attracted to dissect and make malware to attack the operating system.

This assumption can be demonstrated on Microsoft Windows as PCs operating system is the target of virus. In fact, the Windows Mobile operating system from Microsoft is not attractive to malware makers.
