Asus S6F 3037P Review

Asus S6F-3037PThere are notebooks you buy to get work done, and there are notebooks you buy to make other people jealous. The 3.4 pound Asus S6F 3037P falls squarely into the latter category, boasting jeweled hinges and a polished keyboard. You can even order the S6F series with genuine leather panels for the ultimate in ultraportable one upmanship, and it delivers excellent performance and battery life to boot. If you're willing to put up with a small screen and a cramped keyboard, the S6F 3037P is worth the $2,199 splurge.

Our system didn't come with the hand-embossed leather panels, which, for those willing to fork over an extra $400, adorn the lid and area below the keyboard. However, this more affordable version screams exquisite craftsmanship in other ways, starting with the lid's two shiny, circular hinges, engraved with "Asus S6." On our unit, the gray area beneath the keyboard has a brushed-metal look. Unfortunately, while it has two touchpad button functions, they're not separated into buttons; this gives the system a chic, minimalist look, but we found it frustrating to use.

The glossy 1366 x 768-pixel LCD is ideal for watching DVDs, using the slim 4X Super-Multi DVD-RW drive. Asus' Color Shine and Splendid Video Intelligent technologies combine to offer superb contrast and excellent viewing angles (even from above). When working in Word or surfing the Web, however, users will likely want to zoom in to read text. A slim speaker bar beneath the display delivers about as much volume as a cheap alarm clock, so be sure to bring your headphones. :: LAPTOP Magazine • Asus S6F-3037P :: Linked by LT Hacker
