Reviews for the Asus X54C-RB93
Source: Comp Reviews
ASUS does a very compelling job of making an affordable laptop with the ASUS X54C-RB93 that offers it performance typically found in laptops costing a good deal more. They even manage to add a USB 3.0 port which many at this price point lack. There are a number of compromises that the system makes including a smaller battery for shorter running times, less internal storage and and just two overall USB ports.

15.6": 15 inch display-variants are the standard and are used for more than the half of all notebooks. 15.4 inch display with 16:10 are the standard for notebook displays. However nowadays, more and more 16:9 displays with 15.6 inch appear. The reason why so many people like displays with medium size is, that this size is not exhausting for the eyes, does not need too much energy and the laptops can be kept quite compact.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
2.6 kg: This notebook is lighter than the average of all notebooks. It is too heavy for sub-notebooks. 14 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.
