ASUS U6S Ultraportable Notebook
Just like their popular motherboards, the ASUS U6 comes in a well protected, well packaged box with a striking design and built in carrying handle. While ASUS as a canada goose black friday sale canada goose outlet jackets notebook manufacturer may be new to many people, it isn’t new to ASUS and they know how to uk canada goose put on quite the show when it comes to presentation and packaging. It’s clear they have a pretty good idea of how this game is played.
Inside the box, you’ll find your canada goose outlet reviews brand new notebook, AC power adapter, standard selection of driver and trailware CD/DVDs as well as the requisite reading materials; like the manual and quick setup guide. You also get a length of modem cable, S video adapter, a Velcro cheap canada goose cable tie and a micro fiber cleaning cloth to keep your notebook’s screen and shiny exterior clear of fingerprints. This is where most notebook packages end. However, like other ASUS notebooks and reminiscent of their premium motherboards, the U6 comes with an impressive package that is over and above what most manufacturers include. In addition to the previously mentioned items, you also get an ASUS branded notebook bag and notebook sleeve of the appropriate size as well as a wireless optical mouse.
The notebook bag is made for ASUS by Targus and is quite sturdy with good padding. Inside is a padded canada goose clearance notebook compartment and dividers for holding paper. There is also an extra zippered pocket for accessories on the front of the bag with a metal ASUS badge on the top right corner. The bag has two sown on handles and comes with a sturdy removable carrying strap. Overall a fairly unremarkable and perfectly functional notebook bag that will keep your U6 safe while on the go. The same notebook bag is also bundled with several other ultraportable ASUS notebooks canada goose clearance sale such as canada goose outlet canada those in the W7 series.
Instead of the standard neoprene notebook sleeve included with the W7 though, the U6 comes with an ASUS branded, suede notebook sleeve with leather accents. Although it isn’t padded, the material is fairly thick and the sleeve is rigid enough to hold its own shape. Two relatively strong embedded magnets hold the flap closed. While the sleeve is of very high quality and looks great, we found that it is a snug fit on the U6. We were able to slip it inside but not without some tugging and pulling. Luckily there is plenty of room vertically and it was not necessary to remove the extended 6 cell battery. There are two elastic bands attached to the inside canada goose outlet parka of the sleeve which are supposed to slip over each edge of the notebook to hold it in place. However, the sleeve fits so snuggly the bands are unnecessary which is lucky because it is nearly impossible to reach the bands and pull them over the corners when the laptop is canada goose outlet uk inside.
The included wireless mouse is a rebranded Logitech V270. The V270 is a Bluetooth mouse, which compliments the ASUS U6 nicely since a Bluetooth 2.0 module is standard equipment. The scroll wheel doubles as a button but does not have side scroll functionality. A low power indicator LED is located on the rear of the mouse and a on/off switch can be found on the bottom. The V270 features a 1000 DPI uk canada goose outlet optical sensor and a power saver feature which automatically puts the mouse in a low power suspend mode after several minutes of inactivity. The mouse ”wakes up” https://www.chinese-sharpei.de and returns to full canada goose factory outlet power mode nearly instantly when activity is detected. The Logitech V270 has been in production for several cheap canada goose years, is well reviewed and reportedly very reliable; overall a welcome addition to the package.
