After blowing most people away with its affordable hit Eee, Asus is now keen on reminding people that it could also compete in the higher end level. With the Asus U6S A1, it goes for the jugular with its unique look and hefty set-up. Does the Asus U6S A1 also have the same charm as the company’s last big hit?

For starters, the Asus U6S A1 is not at all a bad way to splurge your money on. After all, the leather-covered wrist rest and brushed metal touch pad has got to cost you some money, right? The laptop also features options like Intel Core 2 Duo T7500, fingerprint scanner, and a face-recognition application that go hand-in-hand with the integrated Webcam.

It is a tad too thick for an ultraportable but for good reason. It has ports and its power more than makes up for that extra weight you might have to carry around. Once again though, battery life could use some little sprucing up. Otherwise, this high-end ultraportable laptop is a worthy choice.
