Asus today announced the release of the U36 model notebook, the world’s thinnest notebook with a standard-voltage Intel processor. The new unique thermal design developed by Asus reduces the notebook thickness to a mere 19mm. While most ultra thin notebooks on the market use a low voltage CPU because of cooling and power consumption benefits, the Asus U36 breaks the mold and offers a standard voltage Intel Corei3 or Corei5 processor for powerful performance. This is possible thanks to Asus’s dual heat pipe design which effectively dissipates heat from the CPU without adding any extra bulk.
With its ultra-light aluminum magnesium alloy shell and 4-cell battery, the Asus U36 weighs a mere 1.44kg. Its unique soft-touch nanometer coating repels dirt and water too, which means the U36 will always retain its sleek good looks and all day computing won’t wear users down.
