In today’s world, more of our daily computing is done on the move, and notebooks have become an essential part of our lives. In the past, having a notebook that was thin and light meant sacrificing performance. Not anymore. Introducing the ASUS U36, the world’s first 19mm thin notebook with an Intel® standard voltage CPU. Featuring NVIDIA® Optimus™ technology, the U36 offers the absolute best combination of performance and energy efficiency for the size. With the U36 weighing in at a mere 1.4kg with a 4-cell battery, it challenges the way you think about light and compact notebooks.

Like humans, the harder a computer works, the hotter its internal temperature gets. The problem with pushing a computer to the limits is the amount of heat it generates and how to get rid of it. With the U36, ASUS engineers tackled this problem by developing exclusive thermal technology to keep the system and palm rests cool. Using dual light heat pipes and an efficiently-designed layout, heat is transferred away from the palm rest for a more comfortable user experience.

Stylish design with MG-AL alloy cover and silky nanometer coating

The U36 features a super light yet highly durable magnesium-aluminum alloy cover that can handle the rigors of being transported around all day, yet still looks refined and distinguished. An easy to clean silky nanometer coating on the palm rests helps ease the stress of extended workdays while keeping the notebook looking clean by repelling fingerprints and dust.
