In the highly competitive laptop market, the Asus A56CB-XX053H seems to stand out from the bland crowd. Other laptop models may have gaming-suitable hardware, solid aluminum casing and slim build, but they rarely cheaper than $800 (Approx. £515). Unlike in many ultrabook models, users don’t need to waive on specific port types like Gigabit Ethernet or an optical drive.
Obviously, Asus still needs to make some cutbacks. The TN-panel on the 15.6” HD display is an inevitable consequence and users may also miss an mSATA slot. Nevertheless, they’ll appreciate the fact that the Intel Core i3 processor gets along quite well with the Nvidia GeForce GT 740M GPU.
There’s 500GB of HDD, with usable storage amount of 400GB, after being subtracted by Windows OS and preinstalled software. This is a sufficiently balanced hardware configuration in today’s laptop industry. The Asus A56CB-XX053H is adequate for daily productivity and gaming tasks.
