Reviews for the Asus U1
Source: PC Pro

The Asus does come very close to tripping up the Sony VAIO VGN-TX3XP, though. The Asus is smaller, lighter and cheaper, but the VAIO beats it on the grounds that it has a built-in optical drive and a stunning nine-hour single-battery life. If you need an ultraportable for work, the Dell D420 is the place to stop looking. If you simply want to save every last gram, there's plenty to recommend the U1. An incredibly light and practical notebook for frequent travellers, but not without its quirks.

Intel Core Duo: Double Core processor with a very good relation of performance to current consumption. The 2 MB L2 Cache are used together by the double. The maximum capacity of 31 watts is only 4 watts more than with the Pentium M (predecessor). Both cores are lowered automatically and independently of each other by speed steps down to 1 GHz. In addition it now supports also SSE3 instructions. At least it is just as fast as a equivalent Pentium M. With applications, which were designed for multi-processors, the performance can be nearly twice as fast as with the Pentium M (e.g. CineBench around 86% fast)

This is a standard display format for tablet computers or small convertibles. You see more on the screen than on a smartphone but you can't use big resolutions well. On the other hand, mobility is not a problem.

67%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
