Inside the casing of the notebook is stored on an Intel Core I3 2310M Sandy Bridge that runs at speeds of 2.3GHz and 4GB of DDR3 SODIMM memory as a source of strength. Data storage capacity provided U41SV Asus is not too big for now. You will only get the hard disk of 320 GB for storing various data and multimedia files, unfortunately, is not greater or equal the previous series.
For business graphics, Asus U41S using NVIDIA GeForce 540M GT is equipped with NVIDIA Optimus in order to get the battery life is longer. As we know, if you do not need a high-performance graphics (like playing 3D games, video encoding with CUDA, etc.), graphics on Intel processors will be active in only require a small power that will affect the survival of the notebook more long. Compared to previous series, Asus U41SV using the graphics are much better than before, a significant increase for you who like to play 3D games.
Talking about screens, Asus is using the glossy screen U41SV previously using this type of matte. It will be a bit annoying when used outdoors or a room with a light too bright. However, you can minimize it by raising the level of brightness. Viewing angle is also quite good because the screen does not change color gradation is too excessive when viewed from the left and right. The screen will change color gradation when you see it from above.
Completeness
We were a little disappointed in this U41SV Asus. In previous series, although still using an Intel Core Arrandale, the notebook is already included with USB3.0 ports. In this U41SV series we did not find that port. Usually, notebooks with Intel Core 2nd generation USB3.0 been included as an added value, although still have to use additional USB3.0 chip itself. Other ports are included, exactly the same as the previous series, both the layout and number of the port.
The speakers are installed in this notebook is the result of production from Altec Lansing, a renowned speaker manufacturer. The speakers are placed at the top of the keyboard. When we tried these speakers to watch and play games, its performance is quite good. However, we do not feel the bass boom that does not include Altec Lansing speakers bass in this notebook.
Chicklet keys given model is quite large. Unfortunately, the enter button it still feels small and often makes us make mistakes when pressed several times. Fortunately, the keys are quite soft when pressed which makes the user does not fatigue when typing in a long enough period of time.
Trackpad provided fairly narrow so it will annoy users who often do multitouch gestures for making finger movements become freely. While the left-and right-click function is quite soft and no noise when pressed.
Performance
Performance Asus U41SV quite above average due to a combination of processor i3 combined with DDR3 memory is greater. In addition, the use of NVIDA graphics card, GeForce GT 540M can boost performance as a whole. With this result, you can run a variety of middle to upper applications smoothly and play 3D games smoothly.
Battery Life Rating
Movie 720 and Movie WMV MOV 1080: We simulate to get the battery life when a notebook is used for watching movies in a variety of resolutions and the results we get using the log-time applications.
From the test results, this notebook managed to show considerable resilience with only a 4400mAh battery. Watching movies with a resolution of 720 can run nonstop for 3 hours 5 minutes. You can also browse continue without interruption through a WiFi connection for 2 hours 51 minutes. In fact we expect more than this considering the Asus U41SV using NVIDIA Optimus.
Transcoding
Transcoding process is also running fairly quickly and will be more rapid if the application you are using supports Intel Quicksysc. You need not linger waiting for the results to be incorporated into the gadget either tablet or smartphone.
Performance NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M
Performance NVIDIA GeForce graphics GT540M quite encouraging. With the results obtained, you will be able to play a variety of 3D games well at high settings and a specific resolution. The values obtained make us want to know more about the performance of NVIDIA graphics.
We wanted to test the ability of DX11 in the graphics card included. Therefore, we began a benchmark by using the game Lost Planet 2 and Unigine Heaven. We also weighed on NVIDIA GT540M with Tessellation feature. Featured Tessellation is a deadly weapon for the graphics card because these features will make 3D images more prominent. Featured will be draining the GPU and CPU.
Conclusion
Asus Notebook U41SV still keep the question mark for us. Specifications that we received is not located in the Indonesian market! There's a good idea to look at the specs and completeness given before buying. Not necessarily a notebook on the market similar to that in our test table.
Apart from that difference, Asus U41SV including powerful enough to run a medium-k applications eatas well and you can also use to play games with a native resolution on high settings. It may amuse you who like to play 3D games at leisure. Battery life seems less potent DAPT turn this notebook for long, we expect more than this considering this notebook uses an Intel processor and NVIDIA Optimus Sandy Bidge that can save battery power.
Excess
Performance above the average of similar processors.
Altec Lansing speakers.
Shortage
No USB3.0.
Live less long endurance.
