U6V-A1

 

If you're looking for a speedy ultraportable laptop without breaking the bank, look no further than the Asus U6V-A1. This $1649, Windows Vista Business-based notebook offers up strong performance scores and is a nicely balanced overall system.

Soilid performer in WorldBench Second battery bundled

Trackpad is awkward to use Poor sound

All in all, the Asus U6V-A1 is not a bad notebook. For media, its weak speakers prevent it from being a great choice, but if you want a compact notebook that can handle everyday tasks and maybe some light gaming, the U6V makes for a fairly attractive...

ASUS U6 Bamboo (U6V-2P048G)

 

Wooden construction, but plenty of personality

Bamboo panels, built-in optical drive, portable size

Sluggish hard drive, touchpad buttons still need refining, screen has a narrow vertical viewing angle, no FireWire

The wooden panels on the Bamboo actually look good, and its guts are also impressive. It's not a laptop for everyone; it's mostly for people who want to make an impression, and anyone who just really loves wood.

A fairly classy ultra-portable with a few annoyances but stuffed with features, for those who can afford it.

A stylish designer ultraportable laptop, the Asus U6V has a unique bamboo finish, and performs remarkably well.

Asus - U6V Bamboo

 

When choosing a notebook computer some people put store on comparing how different machines look. Usually the choices here boil down to selecting between colour schemes, rounded versus non-rounded corners, how the status lights are implemented ...

If you want a notebook that looks very different and claims to have some extra environmental credentials, the U6V Bamboo might tick the boxes for you.
