The Asus U6S is priced at Rs. 92,900 and at that price, the laptop should have offered more in a better fashion.

Acer TravelMate 6292

Acer's Travelmate 6292 is the cheapest ultra-portable laptop in our comparison but in relation to the other laptops, it fell behind on a number of fronts. The Acer's design is nothing special and in fact it looks chunky for an ultraportable. It is also on the heavier side of the comparison table at 2.1 kilograms and its battery also lasted a mere 186 minutes during our tests. Its 12.1-inch screen is also nothing great and other laptops in the comparison have better screens.

The Acer has a decent number of connectivity ports but as we have seen in other Acer laptops, putting two USB ports on top of one another means only one large USB connector can be used at a time. Not very practical, as you can see. The Acer does offer an inbuilt DVD combo drive though. The Travelmate 6292 is powered by a 2.2Ghz Core 2 Duo t7500 processor, 2GB of Ram and a 160GB hard disk. With scores of 84 in World Bench 6 and 3157 in PC mark Vantage, the Acer was not the weakest performer in our comparison but it certainly wasn't the strongest either. at the end of the day even a great price-tag of Rs. 45,000 is not enough to keep Acer from the bottom of our comparison table.
