The Asus U47 is one of the many 14-inch laptops with the “Ivy Bridge” Intel processors. The aluminum-cladded U47 with a silver hairline brushed metal finish belongs to the thin-and-light U-series and is a successor of the U46, retaining thin LCD bezel, which makes the laptop sleeker and less clunky looking. Laptop manufacturers like to call this kind of notebooks “14-inchers in 13-inch bodies”. The shape of the 4.36-pound Asus U47 has changed and it ditches hinge-forward design. The screen is covered with reinforced pressure- and damage-resistant glass protecting it, while the isle-style keyboard is embedded into the seamless area around it, rounding this premium notebook system for professionals and entertainment on-the-go. The only complaint here is absence of keyboard backlight.
Besides the 3rd Generation Intel Core processors with two cores in i7, i5, and i3 versions, the Asus U47 sports a built-in optical drive, up to 1TB of hard drive storage, and up to 8GB of RAM. The laptop comes in two variants: the Asus U47A with the Intel HD 4000 integrated graphics, and the U47VC with the NVIDIA GeForce G 620M 1GB DDR3 dedicated video card. Graphics is displayed on a 14″ 1366×768 display, with glossy or anti-glare coating, depending on model.
What’s also missing on the U47 is built-in mobile broadband connectivity, which would be a nice feature to complement its on-the-go usability.
We have no info on exact prices, but there are U47A models available for as low as $750. The U47VC is expected to cost more due to the dedicated GPU.
