ASUS certainly got our attention with its ultraportable U6S laptop, and it looks like it piqued the interest of the folks at HotHardware as well, who've now turned out a full review of the diminutive, leather-bound system. While they expectedly...

ASUS U6S

 

The ASUS U6S is a 3.9-pound ultraportable that crams in powerful performance parts and includes a leather interior.

Powerful innards. Leather interior. Gorgeous design. Full-size keyboard. Under 4 pounds. Built-in optical drive.

Battery is too small. Mouse buttons aren't well designed.

Asus U6S-A1 review: Asus U6S-A1

 

Asus U6S-A1

Ditches the slow ULV CPUs of other ultraportables for a full-powered Core 2 Duo; leather accents are a nice touch; includes HDMI port.

Unimpressive battery life; a bit thick and heavy for an ultraportable.

The leather-clad Asus U6S is an ultraportable that will require you to tote around a little extra weight in return for its power and ports. It carries a fair price, but we would like it more if the battery ran longer.

Asus U6S Review

 

The Asus U6S is a solid notebook that sports a 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and has a 12.1" LED backlit screen that saves on battery life. The glossy brown lid has blue accent flakes in the paint, which we like to call "flavor crystals" that...

Review Asus U6S Subnotebook

 

Object of desire... Advertising the Asus U6S one word dominates –

Nice design; High-quality materials (leather, aluminium/magnesium); Surfaces feel nice to the touch; Many ports including an HDMI port; WLAN standard-n, Gigabit Lan, Bluetooth and UMTS (ready); A lot of accessories (Bluetooth mouse, bag); User-friendly...

No docking option; No Firewire port; High noise level even in idle mode; High energy demand, even if turned off

ASUS U6S Ultraportable Notebook

 

If you're the type who wants to make a statement with your notebook, names like Apple, VAIO, and Alienware may come to mind. But what about ASUS? While you may know them best for their motherboards and video cards, ASUS is a seasoned veteran when it...

Excellent Performance ; Low Heat & Noise ; Good LED Display ; Cool Leather Palm Rests ; Excellent Paint Job ; Durable Chassis ; Overall Features ; Good Value

Unimpressive Battery Life For An Ultraportable ; Touchpad Buttons Were Too Stiff

Performance Analysis: Performance of the U6S is in line with expectations given our test system's specifications. While it could hardly compete with the desktop replacement notebooks in our benchmarks, it doesn't need to. The U6S provided good...
