At A Glance

The U41JF performs pretty well for its category, but the case looks and feels cheap.

Manufacturer’s Description

With its supercharged performance, the ASUS Super Hybrid Engine boosts the U41JF notebook performance up to 15 percent in demanding tasks, thanks to its dynamic overclocking technology. It's not simply about cranking up the CPU though, ASUS engineers have specifically tuned several system-wide values to optimise the performance gains for the energy used, and Super Hybrid Engine is designed to work specifically on Intel Core i3, i5 mobility processors! The Super Hybrid Engine boosts performance only when required by CPU-intensive tasks, like games and high definition movies, without sacrificing any stability and reliability.
