Overview:
It is extremely important to keep up with all the things going on around us. This portable but nevertheless powerful laptop will never let you fall behind. No matter where you are, the UL20FT-XA1 is small and light enough to be carried with one hand, browse the Internet, read, or work with others. All that being mentioned it is still comfortable (women have no trouble using it either).
How about its efficiency? Considering the fact that laptop carries the Intel Core i3-380UM processor with its 1.33 GHz, it is powerful enough to work with a couple of programs simultaneously effortless. This notebook is equipped with with 2 GB of DDR3 RAM (1066MHz) and in case you are not satisfied with it, there is possibility to increase it to 4 GB (processor supports up to 8 GB depending on the type of memory). Let’s get to the graphics part, shall we? To be honest about its graphics, I wouldn’t say that it is this laptop’s strong side. The Intel GMA HD is enough for work and will allow you to spend some time watching HD movies.
The only thing it would have hard time doing is gaming. Not that it’s impossible to play games there, but it is just not powerful enough for up-to-date games. Even though it may seem that ASUS lacks serious graphics, but we have received up to 6 hours of batterly life instead.
The bottom line:
This light laptop will be an ideal choice if you are looking for every day portable working device. Upgrade it for extra productivity, and you’ll get more power power for a reasonable price. I wouldn’t consider it as gaming laptop though.
I got this laptop one month ago after coming to the US. I wanted a small, thin, not heavy laptop and I got it. I need it for some coursework, preparing presentations, mailing, skype, storing pictures etc. This is so nice to carry along in my backpack wherever I go! O.K. the keyboard was a little strange in the beginning bu I got used to it fast.
