The U45Jc-A2B 14" Notebook Computer from ASUS is a compact notebook computer with a streamlined aluminum chassis. The system is built with portability in mind -- it is about an inch thin when closed, and weighs a scant 4.6 pounds. What's more, it can run for up to 11.5 hours on a single charge thanks to an 8-cell battery and the ASUS Super Hybrid Engine power management system.
Graphics are handled by an nVIDIA/Intel hybrid system. The computer uses a dedicated nVIDIA GeForce G310M GPU with 1GB of memory when performance is required. It switches to an integrated Intel GMA HD GPU during normal operation, helping to extend battery life.
The computer is powered by a 2.4GHz Intel Core i3-370M processor, which delivers dual-core performance for multitasking. It boasts 4GB of RAM, a 320GB 5400rpm hard drive, 802.11n Wi-Fi, and an integrated webcam. Windows 7 Professional (64-bit) is the installed operating system.
Thanks to a unique thermal design developed by ASUS' engineers, the U45 is able to sport a standard voltage Intel Core i3 processor while still maintaining its svelte, streamlined profile. This is already a very capable processor in its own right, but ASUS has never been content with baseline performance. ASUS' exclusive Super Hybrid Engine pushes them beyond their conventional limits-by as much as 10% -- ensuring that the U45 runs CPU-intensive tasks like games and high definition movies without breaking a sweat. And it does this without sacrificing any stability!
