Thickness 23mm APU only ultra thin notebook ASUS X32 evaluation

Under the pressure of the Intel Ultra, AMD also showed their ultimate thin and light notebooks in the near future, but these products and our distance is relatively far away, unable to buy in the near future. But a recent listing of the ASUS X32U, but for the users who focus on portability with new choices.

 

ASUS X32U body die and ASUS U36 JACK, X32U attachment of fuselage top cover and no nano-coating, but use the more common metal drawing process. ASUS X32U with a 13-inch mirror screen, screen resolution, 1366x768, maximum brightness, 223.6cd/m2, with 50% of NTSC color gamut, 80%~90% sold in its screen display and notebook are similar. saus laptop battery.

ASUS X32U the right side of the fuselage to provide 2 x USB3.0, 1 x RJ45, 1 set of audio and network interface card reader. One to note is that X32U two two interfaces on this side spacing smaller and insert two common size flash drive will affect each other.

For the left side of the fuselage, and ASUS set 1 X32U USB2.0 interface, HDMI and VGA interfaces, from a practical point of view, spacing smaller USB connector and HDMI interface, when using mutual interference phenomena may occur.

 

ASUS X32U like most notebooks, earmarked for upgrading the memory and hard drive at the bottom of the fuselage of the bezel to be removed to replace the hard drive and memory. ASUS X32U chocolate keyboard is equipped with moderate rebound, feel in comparison with the type to use the keyboard comfortable keyboard. X32U keyboard design simple, other than the power switch, no other independent shortcuts. ASUS X32U touchpad surface is relatively smooth, finger when some damping in the slide above, but does not affect our day-to-day use.

ASUS X32U palmrest with plastic material, surface with metal brushed texture, feel more comfortable.

ASUS X32U hinges and U36 is very close to the fuselage, sink design, maximum opening angle of about 160 °.

ASUS X32U webcam above the screen border has a little bump, closing the screen easier, but because of the larger fuselage hinges damping, we cannot open notebook screen in one hand. ASUS X32U body thickness of only 23mm, bare-metal weight 1.6kg with strong mobile portability.

ASUS X32U battery that is configured with smaller capacity, but because of the E450 APU power consumption is low, so in everyday Office applications-oriented MobilMark 2007 battery test, it ran for 250 minutes (4 hours and 10 minutes), basically reached the current average level of notebook. ASUS Laptop Batteries.

Although the body design is very slim, but thanks to the E450 APU lower power consumption, making X32U the whole better heat control. After half an hour high load call test, the keyboard surface maximum temperature only 36.3 ° c, bottom up to 39.8 ° c, no significant overheating area on the surface of the fuselage, it cool and comfortable to use.

AMD E450 APU positioning entry-level users, their performance is relatively weak, from results of the Cinebench R10 multi-threaded test focused on processor performance, mainstream E450 with i3 processor also has a gap. Under the influence of lower processor performance, ASUS X32U focuses on business office performance-SYSmark only 62 minutes of the test, for mainstream notebook, the average rate of 41.3%. On the PCmark score, less than mainstream i3 X32U processor model scores half, machine performance is not satisfactory. However, from a practical point of view, it could still meet the daily needs of online entertainment.

Focus on portability as a slim notebook, ASUS X32U and does not include a very extreme, but 23mm body 1.6kg weight and thickness compared to the traditional laptop more portable. But unfortunately X32U carry E450 APD accelerated processor performance is weak, and mainstream notebook i3 processor there is a large gap, only to meet the daily needs of online entertainment.
