5.0 out of 5 stars Great bang for the buck, December 16, 2011

This review is from: ASUS U31SD-AH51 13.3-Inch Thin and Light Laptop (Black) (Personal Computers)
Got this on lightning deal and with $75 gift card offer (total under $600)... which had a significant impact on my purchase. Had planned on purchasing the U36SD until this deal came up. U36 is a better built machine and has USB 3.0 but otherwise nearly identical. At regular price there is only a $50 difference, but on sale that jumped to nearly $250. Based on this, I took the plunge and went with this machine... and I am very happy I did.

Up front... CONs: Compared to the new ultrabooks, the build quality and design are 'so-so', but at this price point I think it is pretty solid. Definitely no 'head turner' and the body feels solid but 'cheap'. I concur with earlier review that USB ports are 'tight' and, while it looks great, the black aluminum cover definitely attracts fingerprints. Stock hard drive seems a bit slow.

PROs: Battery life... in excess of 8 hrs in real use... amazing. Monitor... 'standard' but viewing angles are extremely good and much... Read more

Customer Video Review Length:: 2:01 Mins

The attached video is to give you an idea of how the laptop looks and a summary of my thoughts on this laptop. Here's my written review.

The one thing about this laptop that jumps out is how stylish and sleek it is. But it's not all looks. The 2nd gen i5 processor and gt 520m graphics card makes this an all-purpose laptop that let's you not only compute but also play some of today's newest games.

In this review I'll talk about the design and performance of this U31SD-AH51 laptop.

DESIGN

* The laptop's cover is very sleek and stylish. I love flush aluminum finish. However, it does attract quite a bit of fingerprints. It's not a huge problem though.
* Love the wrist rest. It has a smooth aluminum finish. Feels great and looks great with it's dark gray color.
* Touchpad is very sensitive and feels good. It feels smooth, yet at the same time rough. The right and left click is merged into one chrome click... Read more

Originally researched the ASUS u36s; Amazon posted this as a newer version. Could be true but it was advertised to have two 2.0 USB slots and one 3.0. I wanted the 3.0 for speedier transfers since I'll have to use an external blu ray drive. Be aware, the unit has three 2.0's and NO 3.0 USB slots. I may return this laptop.
