Sneak Peek

Asus U3 series notebooks are very compact and stylish notebooks with 13.3″ display and a full sized keyboard. Even though it lacks an optical drive, it remains a firm choice and provides a variety of features rarely seen on notebooks of its class.

Design

On the looks front, the Asus U3 is a very classy and elegant. The top of the lid is covered with a glossy black finish which gives it a stylish look. Whereas its inside is covered with a silver keyboard and it has eye-catching chrome highlights. Its fingerprint reader and a leather-like material surrounding the touchpad make the complete package of the laptop very attractive.

Most computer buyers consider the box dimensions of a notebook when buying a new one. This is especially true since a notebook’s thickness determines the amount of space it would use up, especially when on the run. While most notebooks have their own cases, most users prefer to place them alongside their belongings to save space and weight.

This means that if the notebook is thinner, the less space that it will take up. Asus has considered this factor in making the UX series - a range of thin notebooks.
