ASUS U36JC B1 laptop Review
ASUS U36JC-B1 laptop is amazingly light and thin. Weighing in at 3.74lbs it hides a hidden beast inside known as an i5 480M processor. Super nice finish except the glossy screen and glossy surrounding around the screen. The ASUS U36JC-B1 laptop comes with a single 4GB stick of samsung ram @ 1066Mhz. I bought 2x4GB sticks of GSkill 1333Mhz ram from newegg because i thought the unit comes with 2x2GB sticks.
Due to some odd limitation on the i5 processors the ram only shows up as 1066Mhz but i expected as much. Along with switching out the ram i also added in a OCZ Vertex 2 120GB. Taking apart the case is alot easier than it seems as long as you know what to do. The right and left click buttons on the mouse pad are connected together in a chromed plastic click which attracts finger prints like no other. The magnesium alloy finish is beautifully done. No backlit key board which is blah. The speakers are inside or near the mouse pad which is weird. The LED back lit screen can be amazingly bright when set on full brightness. Gaming is possible on low settings but if you are going to buy this you arent really looking for a gaming laptop so dont complain about the graphics.
