The Asus U2E laptop's luxurious leather-trim exterior and long list of extras will make you feel like you're handling premium gear. The Asus U2E weighs just 2.8 pounds, and its traveling weight with an AC adapter is only 3.5 pounds. It has a brilliant 1366-by-768-pixel wide-screen display. As on Sony's VAIO VGN-TZ295N laptop, the Asus U2E's screen is easy to view in tight spaces, though it lacks LED backlighting. The U2E's WorldBench 6 score of 53 put it at the middle of the pack among ultraportables that we tested at the same time, but it's still pretty slow for laptops in general. The shiny, slick mouse buttons are crammed in tightly under the touchpad (see detail at top). You can connect the Asus U2E to an HDTV with its HDMI port (see detail, bottom), but we'd rather see a FireWire port. The Asus U2E is a fun, stylish, long-running notebook, and its unusual leather covering and lining is bound to turn some heads, though perhaps not the heads of die-hard Apple fans.
