CES 2018 | Asus X507: a compact and light 15-inch laptop
The Asus X507 is a relatively light 15-inch notebook with a dual-storage system
Technically not quite keeping pace with the times, Asus might have mainly aimed to keep the costs low with the 15.6-inch X507UA laptop presented at CES in Las Vegas. Despite the dual storage system, it is still relatively compact and light, and is already listed on the Asus website.

We are practically not getting any detail on the new entrant from the press release but luckily the Asus homepage already lists the Asus X507 in detail. With the available i3-6006U, i5-7200U, and i7-7500U CPU options, Asus offers a dual-core setup which is not exactly cutting edge. The 15.6-inch display is available either in Full HD resolution or as a basic variant with an only 1366x768 pixel resolution. An integrated Intel GPU serves as the graphics card.
Due to the dual-storage system, in addition to a 128 or 256 GB SSD, there is also the option for a 500 GB or 1 TB hard drive. In terms of connections, one USB 3.0 port, two USB 2.0 ports, as well as USB-C and HDMI are available, and there is also a dual-band WLAN adapter (802.11ac and Bluetooth 4.2). At 33 Wh, the battery has a relatively low capacity, but is supposed to recharge quickly. At 1.68 kg (3.7 lb), the X507 turned out relatively light for a 15-incher. Asus did not specify anything yet on price and availability.

Originally from Russia, I'm currently based in Romania. I've been translating and writing content for Notebookcheck since late 2010 (I was 16 at the time). I don't come from a well-off family so it wasn't until Nvidia rolled out its Ion platform for Intel's Atom chips, combining serviceable performance with affordable prices, that I started looking for my first ever laptop. Since those days, I have owned (and tinkered with) systems from all major PC makers giving me plenty of knowledge and first-hand experience. Laptops are my passion; they are the best thing man has ever invented for doing work on the go, I believe. I don't have a university degree, for better or worse. Favourite pastimes - reading, jogging, cycling. Favourite tune: Ouvi Dizer by Melim. I hate tea, coffee, tats and cars.
