Comment

Model: Asus is offerring a practical laptop with multi functionality and powerful performance once again. Firstly, the screen itself is 15.6 inches which makes it very desirable since laptops with 15 inch screens are pretty much becoming the norm nowadays. This HD display has a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels and a glossy screen layer. The reasonably high screen resolution will no doubt be ideal for both serious work and fun.

Watching movies and videos, as well as looking at pictures will be very clear and precise. The heart of the Asus X555MA is an Intel Core i5 4210U dual core processor that can clock at up to 1.7 GHz in speed. This processor comes with 4 GB of RAM and a 1 TB of SATA hard drive, which will make fans of movie series and music lovers extremely pleased as they can store all of their media in one place.

The hardware is completed with an Intel HD Graphics 4400 card. For those who like to store data the more traditional way, this laptop provides a DVD reader and writer too. Portability wise, it weighs 2.3 kg and features a battery life of about 4 hours. If you’re looking for a fuss free and simple multi functional laptop, the Asus X555MA should be in your shortlist.

Intel HD Graphics 4400:

ULV integrated GPU (GT2) with 20 EUs found on certain Haswell CPU models.

4210U: Haswell-based ULV dual-core processor clocked at 1.7 GHz with Turbo Boost support up to 2.7 GHz. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 4400 and a dual-channel DDR3 memory controller.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


15.60":

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
