ASUS launch U30JC laptop

On Monday, ASUS unleashed their latest laptop the 13.3 inch U30JC. The unit sports a number of interesting features including NVidia Optimus technology which

chooses the best graphics processor for running a given application by automatically routing the workload to the NVIDIA discrete GPU or Intel integrated graphics

plus it boasts being

one of the industry’s thinnest 13.3” laptops with an integrated optical drive

which is an interesting addition to the hardware list on the U30JC given the lack of optical drives in today’s new laptops. Read on for some more numbers on the ASUS U30JC laptop

* Intel Core i3-350M Processor (2.26 GHz)
* NVIDIA® GeForce® 310M Graphics Engine with 512MB DDR3 Dedicated VRAM with NVIDIA® Optimus™ technology
* 4GB of DDR3 1066MHz DRAM (2GB x 2 slots), 4GB Max
* Wireless 802.11 b/g/n
* 320GB Hard Drive (5400 RPM)
* Super Multi Optical Disk Drive
* Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) Operating System
* 13.3-Inch HD (1366×768) LED Display
* 0.3MP Webcam
* HDMI Port
* 8 cell 5600mAh battery (9.5 hours of battery life)

An impressive array of features and specs and to make the ASUS U30JC even more appealing you can get your mits on it at Amazon for only $900. We like the 9.5 hour battery life (of course it’ll depend on what software and hardware you’ve cranked up) and the built-in optical drive. Overall we think the ASUS U30JC is a great choice for a laptop.
