The only drawback of the old notebook was that it lacked the power to do heavy duty video editing using Adobe Premiere. I saw that the U36SG had dual core with hyper threading, double the base clock speed, and an additional turbo mode that adds another 25% or so with turbo mode, and finally 2 GB more memory (option to go to 8GB). Well, let me tell you this small, lightweight notebook is awesome! I am now able to create video/slideshow compositions with no hesitation, even as we travel. No more waiting until we get home. I am getting about 9 hours on battery using the recommended power settings and could probably squeeze out another hour by fine tuning. The best part is that I only paid about $50 more than I did for the older notebook....a great value. I absolutely recommend this notebook for travelers who want a lightweight but powerful do everything personal computer that is very close to the size and weight of an iPad. thanks all!<br />********************<br /><a href="http://www.power-adapters.co.uk" rel="nofollow">plug adapter usb power adapter</a>CuteRimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14567120204143842681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5768610196044632406.post-33820784969474765332013-02-04T20:37:25.908+00:002013-02-04T20:37:25.908+00:00Thanks for reply.

I'll do some demanding rendering, perhaps not an overkill, just something that my current integrated SIS somehow makes do with, however I'm looking for a GPU that will do it more efficiently. You've mentioned video processing, so I assume that I could also create animations quite smoothly with it? I'll also run Linux on it - some RedHat's clone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5768610196044632406.post-54530934183410734902013-02-04T17:30:41.057+00:002013-02-04T17:30:41.057+00:00Hi Marcin,

I can only hear the fan when gaming/video processing/etc - and even then I've heard much louder laptops.<br /><br />The hard drive makes an annoying head park ticking noise with the default APM/AAM settings, but QuietHDD/hdparm takes care of that nicely.stevenhoneymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06494159684713841991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5768610196044632406.post-12268205673643492302013-02-04T13:51:09.159+00:002013-02-04T13:51:09.159+00:00Hi Steven,
