The Asus U33JC-A1 13.3-inch Laptop (Bamboo) Review
The Asus U33JC-A1 13.3-inch Laptop (Bamboo) is a notebook that has a 13.3-inch HD LED-backlit display and boasts of an impressive battery life of 10 hours. It also features the SuperSpeed USB 3.0 that is around ten times faster than the USB 2.0. It runs on the Intel Core i3 processor and its other features include a 4GB DDR3 system memory, a 500GB hard drive, a 2.0MP webcam, a multi-touch trackpad, and Windows 7 Home Premium. It has a streamlined bamboo design, in order to reduce the use of plastic material by 15%. The Optimus Technology allows for a smooth streaming of video and audio on the 1366 x 768 resolution display and also has the option of HDMI connectivity. The HDMI is perfectly compatible with LCD, Plasma, DLP screens and projectors. It features Intel’s WiDi technology, allowing you to stream HD content wirelessly to your HDTV or projector.
This means that you are definitely paying extra for your laptop to have WiDi but you will also have to buy the Netgear Push2TV WiDi adapter ($72 on Amazon) separately for your HDTV to receive WiDi streams. However, once you have invested that in to your setup, the results are worth it. Since there are no extra bit to attach to your laptop, you get a clean set up to watch your video content through your home theatre screen. Also, given the powerful graphics hardware built in to the thing, you will definitely be getting a high quality video playback experience.
One complaint that I have with the laptop itself is the glossy screen. At this price point, is it too much to ask for a matte finish? Other than that, the Asus U33JC-A1 13.3-inch Laptop (Bamboo) is quite a capable notebook and will be able to handle most of your entertainment needs, including some good on the go gaming action.
