Review Asus PL30JT-RO030X Subnotebook


Low Voltage Turbo. Overclocking, Turbo Boost, virtual cores and GeForce graphics. That doesn't fit to a runtime strong 13.3 incher? Asus proves us wrong. Core i5 supplies performance and Nvidia Optimus supports battery life.

Fancy a subnotebook? No, thanks. I want performance. Those who think this way, but are toying with a 13.3 incher anyway, might just take a liking to the Asus PL30JT-RO030X. It's not unaffordable with 890 euro, but it pulls no punches for a subnotebook.Core i5-520UM (2x1.06 GHz) with Turbo Boost and hyperthreading (four threads), reads in the configuration, just as good as Nvidia's Optimus and GeForce G 310M. Asus adds its CPU overclocking, Turbo-33, known from its UL range on top. And it gets even better: Asus makes the unabashed claim that it can hold a runtime of ten hours.
Are we faced with a successful mix of performance and runtime? Find out everything about the performance of the ultra low voltage Core i5-520UM. We put a focus on battery life and power consumption, just like on the limited gaming suitability.
