After the successful Asus U41J, Asus renew their products line up series that uses second-generation Intel Core processor, Sandy Bridge.
It named Asus U41SV notebook. Both of these notebooks use the exact same casing. Lets’s take a closer look on it.

Asus U41SV comes with 14 inch LCD screen with 1366 × 768 maximum resolutions. With the use of the screen size, dimensions and weighs the same as a notebook with a screen similar size. This notebook uses a matte silver finish casing all over the cover and the LCD screen
handrest and black on the side. The use of finishing it becomes an added value because it wouldn’t make the casing looks dirty.

This notebook powered by an Intel Core I3 2310M Sandy Bridge 2.3GHz and 4GB of DDR3 SODIMM memory. Data storage capacity provided U41SV is 320 GB for storing various data and multimedia files, unfortunately, is not greater or equal the previous series.

For graphics, Asus U41S using NVIDIA GeForce 540M GT equipped with NVIDIA Optimus in order to get battery life efficiency. When users doesn’t need a high-performance graphics (like playing 3D games, video encoding with CUDA, etc.), graphics on Intel processors will be active
in only require a small power so it will increase the battery life efficiency. Compared to previous series, Asus U41SV using the graphics are much better than before, a significant increase for you who like to play 3D games.

Features:

Stunningly light, powerfully beautiful
Get your own genuinely mobile and capable computing experience wrapped in attractive design and backed by ASUS quality. The new U41SV makes it all possible using the latest Intel and NVIDIA technology, with exclusive ASUS features and engineering that have you going everywhere
in greater comfort and confidence.

New Intel Core and NVIDIA GeForce processing power
New 2nd generation Intel Core i3 and i5 standard voltage processors based on Sandy Bridge technology enable better multitasking and smoother multimedia while remaining much more energy-efficient than older notebook processors for extended usability and power savings.
For visuals, the U41SV uses discrete and powerful NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M graphics processors with full DirectX 11 compatibility and great performance for HD multimedia, online streaming and even gaming.

Work, play and enjoy all day with Super Hybrid Engine Super Hybrid Engine (SHE)
Exclusive ASUS Super Hybrid Engine technology makes day-long usage of the U41SV possible with no need to rely on frequent and inconvenient recharging. Super Hybrid Engine or SHE works to optimize notebook battery power management, switching between different energy profiles
based on actual system load and need.

Super thin and light
The U41SV has a form factor under an inch thick. This means it can easily fit into a wide assortment of bags and carriers with effortless portability. It also makes it a very slender and attractive notebook PC that’s great to look at and fun to use. Light but durable materials
further help make the U41SV a joy to have on the road, as it doesn’t weigh you down it liberates you with clever, stylish design and powerful hardware.

In previous series, although still using an Intel Core Arrandale, the notebook is already included with USB3.0 ports. In this U41SV series the ports are not available.Usually, notebooks with Intel Core 2nd generation USB3.0 been included as an added value, although still have to use additional USB3.0 chip itself. Other ports are included, exactly the same as the previous series, both the layout and number of the port.
The speakers are installed in this notebook is the result of production from Altec Lansing, a renowned speaker manufacturer. The speakers are placed at the top of the keyboard. The performance is quite good even without bass felt in this notebook.

Chiclet keyboard design with keys
Chicklet keys given model is quite large. Unfortunately, the enter button it still feels small. The keys are quite soft when pressed which makes the user felt comfort when typing in a long enough period of time.
Trackpad provided fairly narrow so it will annoy users who often do multitouch gestures for making finger movements become freely. While the left-and right-click function is quite soft and no noise when pressed.

Performance

SysMark 2007
Performance Asus U41SV quite above average due to a combination of processor i3 combined with DDR3 memory is greater. In addition, the use of NVIDA graphics card, GeForce GT 540M can boost performance as a whole. With this result, you can run a variety of middle to upper
applications smoothly and play 3D games smoothly.

Battery Life Rating
Browsing 5 Tab: This online test using the FireFox browser and refresh a website alternately with a predetermined time (eg, website A refresh of 30 seconds, 40 seconds refresh the website B). We use a variety of websites, ranging from mild to use flash in considerable amounts.

Movie 720 and Movie WMV MOV 1080: We simulate to get the battery life when a notebook is used for watching movies in a variety of resolutions and the results we get using the log-time applications. From the test results, this notebook managed to show considerable resilience with only a 4400mAh battery. Watching movies with a resolution of 720 can run nonstop for 3 hours 5 minutes. You can also browse continue without interruption through a WiFi connection for 2 hours 51 minutes. In fact we expect more than this considering the Asus U41SV using NVIDIA Optimus.

Transcoding
Transcoding process is also running fairly quickly and will be more rapid if the application you are using supports Intel Quicksysc.

NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M Performance
NVIDIA GeForce GT540M graphics performance is quite promising. With the results obtained, you will be able to play a variety of 3D games well at high settings and a specific resolution. The values obtained make us want to know more about the performance of NVIDIA graphics.

We wanted to test the ability of DX11 in the graphics card included.
Therefore, we began a benchmark by using the game Lost Planet 2 and Unigine Heaven. We also weighed on NVIDIA GT540M with Tessellation feature. Featured Tessellation is a deadly weapon for the graphics card because these features will make 3D images more prominent.

Pros:
* Performance on the average processor type.
* Altec Lansing speakers.

Cons:
* No USB3.0 port.
* Less battery endurance.
