At 3.8 pounds, the U36JC is quite a bit lighter than the previous generation U33Jc (4.4 pounds). With dimensions of 12.9 x 9.28 x 0.76 inches.

Ports and Webcam

The U36Jc has plenty of ports, including one USB 3.0 connector for attaching the latest high-speed hard drives and other peripherals. On the right side are audio in/out jacks, a 5-in-1 card reader, that USB 3.0 port, a standard USB 2.0 port, and an Ethernet connector. On the left side sit both VGA and HDMI connectors, along with another USB 2.0 port.

The 0.3-megapixel webcam provides impressively sharp and colorful images, even in low light. When a Skype call is placed, image of the face looks detailed and motion is completely smooth despite the lighting conditions.

Performance

With its blazing 2.53-GHz Core i5-460M CPU, Nvidia GeForce 310M graphics the ASUS U36Jc packs plenty of performance into its tiny frame. On PCMark Vantage, a synthetic benchmark that measures overall speed, the U36JC notched a strong score of 5,008, well above the ultra-portable category average of 3,784 and the Lenovo IdeaPad U260 (3,701).

Graphics

The Nvidia GeForce 310M GPU that the U36Jc uses is great for mainstream games that don't require a lot of graphics muscle.

The integrated graphics-based IdeaPad U260 (1,151) and Portege R700 (1,967) aren't in the same league.
