High def videos are no problem - no framedrops and the onboard speakers were loud enough for an Pavilion DM4t Battery average size room.
However, once we connected it to a TV via HDMI cable, video playback performance dipped hp laptop batteries substantially. Even standard definition video files were unable to run smoothly.
The output resolution did not fit the TV's screen and CPU usage rose to over 40% for no clear reason.Pavilion G62 Battery Running presentations or the browser while connected to the TV did not show any sign of performance issues.
Build quality of the U32U is Pavilion G72 Battery impressive too. The brushed metal pattern on the top lid has a matte finish, which extends to the palmrest and even under the notebook. This is a welcome change hp laptop battery from the glossy panels we have seen on a lot of newer notebooks.
Unlike some of the cheaper Ultrabooks, the screen does not wobble when touched. The island-style Envy 17 Battery is comfortable to use and provides good tactile feedback.
While we did feel that the trackpad had good response, the two buttons on the trackpad were laptop battery hard to press. One of the more impressive aspects about the U32U is the number of ports that Asus managed to include on such a lightweight HP EH767AA design.
It does not include an optical drive, but it does have 3 USB ports (one USB 2.0 port and two USB 3.0 ports), Ethernet, VGA and HDMI video out as well as 3.5mm headphone and line-in jack.
