Best Cheap ASUS U35JC-XA1 Thin and Light 13.3-Inch Laptop

The ASUS U35JC-XA1 Thin and Light 13.3-Inch Laptop has it all: thin and light, long battery life, powerful CPU, dedicated graphics, and classy professional look. And all of this comes at a low price point compared to other laptops. The 13.3" form factor is ideal for a laptop that is not used as a desktop replacement. Also, this laptop is very good looking with the aluminum screen back and chicklet keyboard. In my ASUS U35JC-A1 I installed a 128GB Kingston SSD. Now in quiet office mode (one of the power saving modes) I never see the blue waiting circle, I legitimately get over 8 hours with wifi on, moderate web browsing, and working in Microsoft Office.


The ASUS U35JC-XA1 does have a couple minor annoyances, but they are not deal breakers by any means. The touchpad is not optimal in the factory settings but can be adjusted to work very well with all additional gestures (there are also driver updates available). There are a few case quality issues that a Mac user might notice but the average PC user will not, such as the palm rest can squeak and a very slight gap between the palm rest plastic and the plastic on the bottom of the laptop. Also, I do notice the CPU whine but this is only because the laptop is so quiet to begin with. The whine may be annoying if you like to work in perfect silence and have sensitive ears. The only real complaint I have is the battery is slightly loose and when I carry the computer by the back battery area there is some flex where the screen is not flush with the battery and top of the keyboard.


It may seem I spent a lot of time talking about the minor annoyances, but in the end they are very minor. They could be a deal breaker for finicky people (which is why I talked about them) but most PC users will never notice any of the small issues. The U35JC packs a lot of performance in a small ultraportable package that can directly compete with the MacBooks. My brother has a brand new 13 inch MacBook Pro and the ASUS U35JC is faster, lighter, and has longer battery life. The MacBook has better construction, better screen viewing angles, and a disk drive (however, I prefer no disk drive as they take up a ridiculous amount of space and weight for how little use they get). Also, the ASUS is $500 dollars cheaper. Overall, I would recommend the ASUS U35JC to anyone in need of a great all around laptop. This laptop makes a great looking professional or student PC that can do anything that 99% of users will ever need to do.
