The latest technology now comes in a sleek package with lightweight slimness

The golden ratio 13.3″ widescreen U3 is perfect for metropolitan professionals to stay on the move with style. From the exterior piano painted LCD cover, stainless contour and magnesium aluminum alloy housing to its genuine leather bound palm rest, the U3 reflects exceptional personal taste with unique sophistication. Based on the latest Intel® Centrino® Duo processor technology, Windows® VistaTM operating system and exclusive ASUS innovations, the U3 offers a dynamic computing experience with powerful performance.

• Lightweight Design with Solid Quality – The beauty of the notebook is complimented by its simple and clean lines. The stainless contour gives the notebook as structured appearance with sturdiness. To enhance the overall high mobility design of the U3 while keeping all parts well-protected, magnesium-aluminum alloy is used for the LCD cover of the notebook for 4H hardness for enhanced screen protection.
• Visual Feast – The U3’s golden ratio 13.3-inch panel offers the mobility of a 12″ notebook with the visual comfort of a 14″ screen. In addition, the glare-type panel with exclusive Splendid Color Enhancement Engine displays vivid colors and sharp details for the most enjoyable viewing experience.
• Privacy Protection – The notebook offers a smart balance of mobility and performance with comprehensive security features. Data security is uncompromised with built-in biometric fingerprint scanner that reads from the live layer of skin, preventing common skin surface conditions from impairing scanner accuracy. An embedded TPM (trusted platform module) hardware solution prevents attacks by hackers looking to capture passwords and encryption keys to sensitive data.
• GPS Functionality So You’ll Never Get Lost – With the U3, users will always know how to get to where they want to go. This GPS notebook guides the way with precision and ease for versatile functionality.
• Long Lasting Battery Life – Mobility is enhanced with extended battery life that empowers better productivity. ASUS Power4 Gear eXtreme power management extends battery life up to 20-25%, providing a reliable and continuous operating power. The U3 also has a special Power Saving key that allows users to switch between an internal graphics chip for optimal power consumption and an external graphics chip for a performance boost. When optimally utilized, the Power Saving option can extend battery life by up to 50%!
• Live Video Communication – A high-resolution webcam module is integrated seamlessly into the U3’s LCD panel and together with a built-in high quality microphone wire-free video conferencing is possible anywhere. Wireless connectivity of the U3 is also extensive with built-in WLAN 802.11 a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.0 enhanced data rate for high speed Internet access and data transfers.
