ASUS S56CA-DH51 Full Specifications and Price

ASUS S56CA-DH51 Full Specifications and Price, The ASUS S56CA-DH51 is a Windows 8 Ultrabook that's ready for some multimedia fun. It sports a sleek design with an aluminum lid and deck, a fast Core i5 processor and SonicMaster-powered speakers for some audio oomph. Plus, the 24GB SSD lets you get back to enjoying those Windows 8 apps almost as soon as you open the lid. With a price of $649, is this the 15-inch Windows 8 machine to get?

The S56CA-DH51's lid is made of handsome brushed black aluminum with a silver ASUS logo in the center. The lid always felt cool in our hands, but attracted a fair amount of fingerprints. The deck is made of silver brushed aluminum and, like the top of the lid, felt cool to the touch. Black plastic covers the bottom of the laptop.

The power button sits in the top left hand corner. The area around the keyboard is sunken, so the keys sit a few millimeters lower than the power button and the touchpad. Six indicator lights are on the left side of the lip.

At 14.96 x 10.47 x 0.83 inches, the ASUS S56CA is slimmer but wider than the Acer Aspire V5-571-6869, which measures 15 x 10 x 0.9 inches. At 5 pounds, the ASUS is just an ounce lighter than the 5.1-pound Acer. Overall, this is fairly thin and light machine for a 15-inch notebook.

The S56CA wields a low-voltage 1.7-GHz Intel Core i5-3317U processor, 6GB of RAM and a 750GB 5,400-rpm hard drive paired with a 24GB SanDisk SSD. It earned a PCMark 7 score of 3,130, which easily tops the 2,576 category average as well as the Acer Aspire V5-571-6869's mark of 2,417. The V5-571-6869 has the same processor, RAM and a smaller 500GB hard drive that spins at 5,400 rpm.

• Pros: Slim design with DVD drive; Strong overall performance; Loud and clean audio; Speedy boot time; Runs cool; 
• Cons: Keyboard somewhat mushy; Below-average battery life;
• The Verdict: A sleek design, good speakers and zippy Core i5 performance make the ASUS S56CA a solid 15-inch Windows 8 Ultrabook.
