Asus U1F

Asus U1F
Keyboard Open Back Open Front

review

ASUS laptops have fervently pushed the design envelope in the past two years. After all, AsusTek is widely considered one of the top five ODMs (original design manufacturers) in the world. It makes every laptop component imaginable, including chassis designs for Apple computers, so it's only logical that it would excel in this area. The ASUS U1F ($2,100 street) is the company's latest bid into the ultraportable market. It weighs a svelte 2.7 pounds and rocks LED (light-emitting diode) screen backlighting technology. The U1F is a traveler's delight—that is, if you can live with carrying an external DVD drive.
