Having the new Asus VX6S for tests these days, which brings the new Intel D2700 Atom processor, part of the Cedar Trail line, I thought it would be a good idea to have a quick comparison of this new platform with the previous Atom one found on 12 inchers and the AMD Zacate APUs. Luckily, [...]
As you might know, I’ve got an Asus EEE PC X101CH for tests these days. This is going to be Asus’s mainstream 10 inch netbook in the first part of 2012, and brings the new Intel Atom Cedar Trail platform, with an Intel Atom N2600 processor. I’m pretty sure this is the first time a [...]
As we hope you remember, we talked a lot about the Asus U36SD, comparing it with other 13.3 inch machines from Acer or Lenovo. We liked this laptop a lot, as it has great hardware and enough features to keep you happy even on the long term. But how does the U36SD manage against the [...]
You might think netbooks are dead now when more and better tablets enter the market every week. But that’s not necessarily true, these mini laptops still have their edges over tablets and they will continue to be better cheap productivity tools, at least for the time being.

From starters, I have to tell you that I own an Asus Transformer and I’ve been using it (next to my iPad 2) in the last months. I got it after carefully analyzing my options and decided it was the perfect 10 inch tablet for my needs, back in May. The fact that it was [...]

It’s not a sleepy summer for 13.3 inch laptops, with many computers in the category being launched around this time. Two of them are the Lenovo Thinkpad X1 and the Asus U36SD, both having a fighting chance for your wallet if you intend to buy a laptop this summer. B ut which one is better, [...]
The Asus U36SD and the Aspire 3830TG are pretty similar laptops. They both have Sandy Bridge processors, Nvidia graphics, 6 cell batteries and 13.3 inch displays. Of course, both come in a variety of configurations and the difference between them could be made by the design or some apparently secondary detail. So stay tuned for [...]
These two laptops are part of the same generation, with the U36SD being the upgraded version of the U36JC. The later was launched in the first quarter of the year and packed decent hardware, being a decent contestant even now in the 13.3 inch niche. The U36SD comes with a better processor (now on Sandy [...]
We’re some of those people which were quite impressed by the Asus U36S/D 13.3 laptop and we decided to go all series on you. We’ll put the Asus against some other mini laptops which were released around the same time or a little while back and see how these laptops handle themselves in a comparison [...]
