Introduction

You may not know it, but electronics manufacturer Asus sells a wide variety of notebook PCs, including everything from thin and light systems to gaming machines and more. Interestingly, their latest effort the U6S, attempts to pair two features it would typically address with entirely separate product lines into a single system – sexiness and business usability. So we’re talking the best of both worlds, right? Well, not exactly… On the bright side, with its leather palm rests and “shimmering” LCD panel, the computer’s definitely not your average, run-of-the-mill boring old corporate notebook. But much to our chagrin as well, the unit’s role as a potential road warrior’s best friend is also hindered by its weight and poor battery life.
