Display and Design
The ASUS U20A’s design is inspired by one of the world’s thinnest creations. This product is modeled on the wings of a butterfly and the panel lid features subtle glitters that simulate the shimmering wings of the butterfly. When opened, the curved, slim and elegant profile resembles a butterfly with wings opened. A very impressive first impression indeed!
The ASUS U20A is further equipped with the ASUS AI Light Sensor technology. This technology makes adjustments to the brightness of the illuminated keyboard, display and touch pad by sensing the conditions around the user and responding to environmental lighting. A 12.1″ LED back light display packs life into visuals creating a great viewing experience.
The multi-touchpad is another brilliant feature that allows browsing through web pages, documents and images with consummate ease and with simple finger gestures.
Features
The energy efficient Intel Core 2 Duo processor at the core of this product is an Intel ULV that is extremely stingy on using power but ensures extended battery life for day long business or entertainment purposes.
A memory capability of up to 4GB, storage options up to a maximum of 500 GB and a 802.11 a/b/g/n wireless connectivity go well with the Bluetooth 2.1 for expanded capability.

Performance
This product scores very high on performance coupled with elegant looks. Unlike some that hone their marketing strategies based on appearance and overload of features, the ASUS U20A is beautiful and striking with good specs to boot- a piece of creative art that will surely be the owners pride and joy.
