ASUS S6F review

ASUS S6F

ASUS S6F The S6F is as much a style statement as a laptop thanks to its compact form factor and chic looks. The world’s first leather laptop sports a lid and palm rests made from real cowhide leather.

Whatever colour leather you choose, it's set off nicely by the well built chassis which is gunmetal in colour as are the trackpad and keyboard. Measuring just 270 x 191 x 23/37mm and weighing just 1.9kg (including the AC adapter) this is one notebook that you won't be putting your back out carrying around.

The compact 11.1″ widescreen design offers superior mobility and comfortable visual enjoyment. To satisfy the most demanding viewing standards, exclusive ASUS Splendid Video Intelligence Technology integrates different multimedia data sources to reduce noise and conversion rate for a sharp display. You will enjoy vivid images with better contrast, brightness, skin tone and color

Equipped with the latest low voltage dual core technology, the S6F enables users to simultaneously run demanding applications, such as running virus scan while talking on Skype and surfing the web with less power consumption. The S6F’s exhilarating capabilities will immerse you in riveting vibrant entertainment at home or on the go with the built-in features of your new mobile dual-core processor-based laptops.

Responding to the emerging demands of notebook users who have a number of simultaneously working Bluetooth peripherals on their system, including mice, keyboards, headsets, and mobile phones, the S6F notebooks, with the built-in BluetoothR V2.0+EDR, offer maximum data transfer rates of 2.1 Mbps, 3 times faster than the current device can manage, and hence reducing power consumption, which greatly benefits battery-dependent mobile devices.

Under the bonnet the S6F is bang up to date, powered by one of the latest Intel Core Duo processors backed by fast DDR2 memory. The S6F is the first notebook we have seen that uses a Low Voltage version of the Core Duo, in this case an L2400 chip which is clocked at 1.66GHz. As standard the laptop comes with 512MB of PC2-4200 DDR2 memory on board with a SO-DIMM slot that supports up to a further gigabyte of memory; our sample had a 512MB module in the slot.
