The Asus U56E-BBL5 offers a multitude of ways to connect you to the internet: Via WiMAX, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi 802.11n. The Lenovo IdeaPadV570-1066A9U also offers these options. Both laptops are similar in everything from performance to aluminum design. Where they depart is in ports and battery life: The Asus U56E-BBL5 offers a more standardized USB 3.0 port and over 7 hours of battery life whereas the Lenovo V570-1066A9U offers an eSATA port and only 4:41 battery time. So if you're more the road warrior, the U56E-BBL5 sounds like the better option. It may only cost $20 more the Lenovo V570-1066A9U, but the U56E-BBL5's bigger battery, 2GB more memory, and USB 3.0 will make the difference when transferring files to your external hard drives. It's for these reasons that the Asus U56E-BBL5 replaces the Lenovo IdeaPad V570-1066A9U as the new Editors' Choice for budget laptops.
