Meet the ASUS S56

Описание: This is the ultra-slim ASUS S56 laptop, a compact yet powerful performer that you can easily slip into a bag. In fact, it's so portable that you'll barely know it's there.

It's just 21 millimetres thin at its thickest point, but crams some impressive specs and features into that tiny space. An Intel Core i7, i5 or i3 ultra low voltage processor is paired with Nvidia's GT635 graphics chip to deliver impressive performance while still retaining ample battery life thanks to its support for Nvidia Optimus technology. On the side, Asus has even managed to fit in a full optical drive. This combination is perfect for both work and entertainment.

For storage, the S56 includes both a solid state drive and a traditional hard drive. The operating system runs from the solid state drive, making it feel responsive and snappy, while your data is stored on a capacious one terabyte hard disk.

All of this is enclosed in a scratch resistant brushed-hairline metallic shell, which has been moulded in one piece for strength and rigidity, and the underside has been treated with glass fibre to add additional durability. It's a notebook that can take the occasional knock, and still come through in one piece.

The back-assembled chiclet keyboard means that typing is a satisfying experience, and a large touchpad with the same aspect ratio as the screen supports smart gestures, letting you zoom, scroll and pan without having to fiddle with on-screen buttons.

Asus SonicMaster Lite technology means the machine can pump out high fidelity audio with a wide soundstage, allowing the richness and subtlety of your audio source to shine through - be it music, speech or sound effects in a movie or game.

The Super Hybrid Engine II technology is exclusive to ASUS laptops, and lets you get straight into the action without waiting to boot up. It boots from standby in just two seconds, and can sit for up to 10 days in hibernate mode. Plus, when the battery reaches five percent it'll back everything up before it shuts down, so you won't lose any data.

The ASUS S56 is a portable yet punchy machine for those who need a computer they can rely on in any situation - at home or on the go.
