Asus U20A is sexy and expensive

Asus has come up with its very own ultra-low voltage and slim notebook line which practically goes head to head with the Acer Timeline, HP Pavillion DV2 and the Gateway LT series we’ve seen earlier. Of particular interest is the 12.1″ Asus U20A notebook which is already available at PC Bodega.

At first glance, the design looks like a bigger Asus Eee PC Seashell edition. It’s not really a netbook but falls under the ultra-mobile notebook category.

    nice! ang mahal lang. parang nde practical. pero 8hrs.. hmn .. how long kaya charging nyan? siguro nga it’s well worth it kse tipid sa electricity consumption sa bahay. all you have to do is charge it in your office then use it at home. so yung matitipid mo para sa electricity bill ang pambabayad mo sa credit card na ginamit mong pambili dito. :D

    There’s a 12-inch Asus C2D that has leather hand rests. Almost same price din.

    I wish they could make it lighter. But the 8.5 hour battery life does make it interesting.

    Wow, I did not realize how good that laptop is.

    I bought one for my nephew.

    But now he is using it for games like DOTA tournaments and such.

    Check out the link below if you want to install DOTA in your very own computer.

    It’s not the U20 on the picture. I think it’s the UX50. This is the U20:
