ASUS U35JC Notebook With I3 370M Processor Review

Concerned about the recent IT media readers may notice that some manufacturers in promoting its own carrying Core i3 notebooks made a “i3 prices, i5 performance,” this slogan, it really can have a Core i3 Core i5 the performance? Or is this just a publicity stunt manufacturers?
In early 2010 release 32nm processors, Intel is very quickly after a lapse of six months time, launched new models of the N processors, including Core i5 450M, Core i3 370M, etc., while the previously mentioned to “i3 prices, i5 performance” to refer to an object is the latest Intel processors – Core i3 370M. And Core i3 series, the new Core i3 370M is still using 32nm process technology, still do not support Turbo Boost technology, still has 3MB cache and TDP of 35W thermal design power, the difference is that this processor ASUS U30J battery frequency is raised to 2.4GHz, compared with the previous two Core i3, respectively, higher than 12% and 6%, from the point of view 2.4GHz clock speed has been clocked with the Core i5 450M, Core i5 520M of the original frequency rather, it is no wonder that vendors will propose “i3 prices, i5 performance,” this slogan.
IT168 Testing Center received this week, equipped with a Core i3 370M processor, new notebooks – Asus U35JC, which is a 13-inch products. And U30JC, as this product is still using two graphics design, nVIDIA’s GeForce 310M significant independence and Core i3 integrated graphics cards in the combination of both power and performance, 324x234x15 ~ 26mm compact body design with 1.718kg The weight for this ASUS U35J battery product is very suitable for carrying out.
Advantages: stylish thin and light design, overall performance is strong, equipped with dual-graphics technology
Disadvantages: fever control in general

The appearance of brushed metal, piano and mix punching effect

After class this U35JC brushed metal effect surface treatment with similar products, like fingerprints and other stains are difficult to avoid contamination, but compared to the popular class piano effect, this fingerprint in the contaminated after processing relative is not so obvious, and this Recently a number of combinations is the fashion to go the usual route of the brand.
U35JC the B-side screen frame with a class piano effects processing, C side panel is designed with a stamping pattern, with the A side B side to distinguish the ASUS U52 battery style, form a contrast, but this pattern is also quite stylish.
Keyboard users are more familiar with the region is the style – split keyboard design, which is currently used by many manufacturers are accustomed to, the main keyboard keys are standard size with a design, but has a larger gap between the buttons, keys way medium, has a relatively good use of touch.
U35JC to provide users with a more mainstream interface configuration, we can turn the fuselage on the left to find VGA, HDMI, USB2.0 interface. In the right side of the fuselage, followed by can see a RJ45 interface, two separate USB2.0, a set of audio input and output interfaces, and card reader socket. Configuration from the interface point of view, U35JC interface have sufficient to meet most home users in their daily work, use the interface number, type of demand. For business users, the interface types in the lack of eSATA interface, it may be applied in high-speed data transmission up slightly inconvenient.
U35JC provides users with a good expansion capabilities, the user can see the two in the bottom of the fuselage removable baffle, baffle removed after the user can hard drive, memory expansion, upgrade. U35JC has two memory slots, as the products are used 2GB of memory ASUS UL30 battery standard, so the user to upgrade memory is basically no need to consider the question, just according to their needs to purchase a memory upgrade.

I3 370M graphics processor with dual-balanced configuration switch

U35JC uses the Intel Core i3 370M processor, this processor uses the latest 32nm process, clocked at 2.4GHz, does not support Turbo technology. Three-level cache is 3MB, dual-core processor supporting HT Technology and, four threads with dual-core processing power, thermal design power TDP 35W.
Chipsets, HM55 to replace the PM55 as the new Core Duo processor intimate partners, and PM55, like, HM55 chipset is codenamed Ibex Peak-M, with the previous mobile chipsets based on desktop chipsets, PM55 chipset is from H55 chipset on the desktop. And PM55 only support i5, i7, the new chipset is Intel HM55 in line with the built-in graphics processing units and introduction of new processors, the processor can provide comprehensive support. HM55 also used a single-chip architecture, the memory control unit (IMC) has been integrated in the processor, so it does not commonly known as the Northbridge MCH (Memory Controller Hub), only one platform control unit PCH (Platform Controller Hub) the burden of the past, single-chip ASUS UL50 battery commonly known as the PCI Express controller and Southbridge chips ICH (Input / Output controller hub) provides functionality, compared with two-chip architecture, single-chip power consumption and heat has become more an advantage, both to help the laptop more good heat dissipation or improve endurance capacity, is a good premise. While less of a chip, motherboard makers can design more compact, while the thin and light notebook, lightweight help. HM55 chipset can support up to six SATA 3Gbps ports (including eSATA), eight PCI-E 2.0 x1 port, 14 USB 2.0 ports, Hanksville GbE MAC Gigabit Ethernet Controller, Matrix Storage Matrix Storage Technology, High Definition Audio High Definition Audio, Management Engine Ignition Firmware technologies.
In storage systems, U35JC comes standard with 2GB DDR3 RAM, test unit we received using two 1GB memory capacity, DDR3 1066MHz memory with, sale of products should use a single 2GB of memory. For 32bit operating system users, such as memory capacity sufficient to meet the vast majority of mainstream applications, and running some large 3D games, because ASUS U35JC battery provides users with an additional memory slot, so even run 64bit system, users only need to buy 2GB memory upgrade.
We received U35JC hard side with a capacity of 640GB Samsung SAMSUNG HM641JI hard drive, this 640GB hard drive has a capacity of 5400 high-speed, but also supports SATAII interface, with the PCH can reach 3.0Gb / s transfer speed.
Network communication capabilities, Atheros AR8131 wired network card + Atheros AR9285 wireless card provides users with a good solution, 802.11n wireless LAN communication protocol support, speed up to 150Mbps, while the wired LAN connection is supported 10/100/1000M .

System evaluation, the core hardware performance and machine performance testing

Windows Experience Index score is the Windows built-in computer performance evaluation system for notebook computers performance testing. Evaluation software on the processor, memory, graphics, game performance, the main hard drive performance of the five components are given the appropriate score to help ordinary users to quickly determine the balance of the system and the basic performance of each subsystem.
Before testing the overall performance at the beginning, we focused on this product processor and hard disk performance test, the test in this section, we mainly use the CINEBENCH R10, HD Tune Pro software for both a simple and intuitive test .
In HD Tune Pro test, this 640GB hard disk performance so we are quite satisfied with the hard drive’s average transfer rate of 71.5MB / s, seek time was 16.2ms, burst transfer rate of 103.3MB / s From this performance point of view, this 640GB hard disk capacity sufficient to meet most of the daily work and entertainment needs.
Performance testing in the ASUS UL80 battery whole section, we mainly use the SYSmark2007 Preview and PCMark Vantange software test, BAPCo SYSmark2007 Preview include E-Learning, Office Productivity, Video Creation, 3D Modeling of four modules, Internet users were simulated learning, office applications, image creation, 3D modeling, each module represents a typical business user applications. Combination of these four points to work out a system evaluation score. This is a very close to the practical application of the user test software, test systems for stability, compatibility requirements very well, given the results are very valuable.

Screen graphics display system performance indicators mean higher

In the graphic part of the test, we used the latest test software Futuremark 3DMark Vantage, which is the industry’s first dedicated interface, Microsoft DX10 API-based, Windows Vista operating system to create a comprehensive benchmarking tool that can fully play multiple cards, the advantages of multi-core processors, in the current and future period of time to meet the needs of PC system ASUS U35J battery performance testing game. 3DMark Vantage offers a new project to build two graphics tests, two-processor test items, the six characteristics of test items, and the introduction of four different levels of default parameters (Preset), may reflect a more detailed level of system performance. In the test, we will adjust the resolution of the same system of 1024 × 768, using the test software to test the Entry mode.
In the test, we test the optimization of the actual brightness of 244.7cd / m, and compared with 556:1 contrast ratio, color saturation, the test values ​​of 56.91%. Results from the final test, U35JC LCD screen with a piece of the indicators are more evenly, combining our experience in the test trial of view, U35JC of this LCD screen as the indicators are at the current average, So in including text reading, video playback, image viewing and other aspects of performance but also with very similar products.

Battery life, the actual power consumption and heat test

In the notebook, we will run Productivity module and DVD module test, and record their performance scores and life. In the Internet, we will run the Reader module and the DVD module. In this product we have tested the high-intensity office and DVD player two areas, office areas in which high-intensity routine office simulation run the user access to various software, and the system will be mixed, ranging from intermittent time to the maximum extent simulate user operating environment. The DVD part of the test is simulated ASUS VX1 battery home environment, the more extreme DVD playback test, we test the DVD module used in the virtual drive, computer hard drives to read data from the test, so the use of drive test data and there will be some deviation, However, we believe that such a test method but better than the use DVD drive to read closer to the user’s habits, after all, most used in the playback of video or read more data from the hard disk.
Test, we close the screensaver, sleep, and set the battery and the system are the highest performance mode, the test session in the office environment, U35JC of this battery is 0% in the remaining capacity under the conditions provided for the user 211 minutes of battery life. Taking into account this product uses a high frequency and high-performance graphics processor, and the need to frequently test the hard disk read and write operations, so that such results can still be acceptable for most users, and from which we can see switching mode for graphics help improve endurance capacity, in the past we’ve tested, but the card does not support the configuration similar to the switching function of the product under the same conditions of life are basically only 150 minutes.

Actual power consumption test

We also tested the actual power consumption of this product, we have tested ASUS W3 battery this product in the three state power consumption. We use UNI-T UT71E intelligent digital multimeter for testing equipment, were determined to connect the power but not turned on (not loaded), the boot is completed, no action within 5 minutes, but do not sleep (non-charge state) and the boot is completed, loaded processor, disk work at maximum throughput (non-charge state), the power situation.
Heat test
In this test session, we adopted the FLUKE Ti25 thermal imaging equipment on this product heat conducted a test to test the laptop main measure C, bottom heat and the temperature of the mouth.
In the heat outlet location, ASUS U35 battery measured value of 50.9 degrees, this value is the highest temperature measured from the temperature of the test results, U35JC heat control on the overall general, users in the long high-intensity use will feel the heat accumulation caused discomfort.
High-frequency Core i3 370M processor, graphics switching is a major selling point for the overall performance comparable to the low-end i5 models
As a 13-inch mainstream notebooks, this U35JC has many selling points, the first performance is almost equal to the low-end Core i5 processor i3 370M processor, this processor is its focus on high frequency makes the processor performance applications can provide users with outstanding performance support, and this product supports both low-power high-performance graphics processing and long battery life of Optimus technology. From the nature point of view, Optimus Technology and Intel seem to launch the built-in graphics processor unit coincide, Optimus technology can take advantage of the built-in integrated graphics ASUS X32 battery processor, but can also enable manufacturers to introduce more distinctive notebook products. The simplicity and intelligence on this point of view, the user can go before running the program does not have to manually switch the graphics mode, the program will help users to run programs based on the current load level to automatically switch the video card, so that you can simultaneously achieve both enjoy a high-performance graphics card brings superior graphics processing power, but can also enjoy the integrated graphics to bring long life.
Back to the product itself, U35JC the biggest bright spot is its balance of processor, graphics card, memory, hard core hardware configuration, and this part of the configuration to meet the current mainstream applications such as World of Warcraft, small 3D games, high definition video, home entertainment and other applications is not a problem, on the current status of the product on the market and tested products ASUS Z35 battery in our daily practical point of view, the demand for office applications, Internet, multimedia playback and 3D gaming applications of moderate intensity-based users, this product is equipped with hardware performance, or to meet the needs of most users.
