Review Of Asus UL50VT-RBBBK05
REVIEW:
The Asus UL50VT-RBBBK05 comes in the category of mainstream laptops because it provides almost all the features which you might require in a laptop. It is an advanced version of Asus UL50AG, it has similar features of that laptop. One new feature has been added into this laptop and that is the gaming graphics.
You will not find anything special in the design of the laptop. The only thing which you will notice is that it is a very thin and slim laptop. It is completely covered in a black colour. It comes with an ultra low voltage processor which is disappointing at this price range. You will find a lot of laptops with core i3 and core i5 processors at its price range.It has a 15.6 inch glossy LED display which supports 1366×768 pixel resolutions.
It has a chiclet style keyboard which is very comfortable to use. It also has an additional number pad. You will find two power buttons on the top of the keyboard, one is used to boot Windows 7 and other one is used to launch the Express Gate Splashtop Environment. It has a multi touch touchpad. The manufacturers have placed a single bar instead of separated left and right mouse buttons, which is actually difficult to use because you have to click either at extreme left or at extreme right.
Usually, laptops which are as thin as this laptop do not have a DVD writer, but it has a DVD writer. A graphics card has been added to increase the gaming performance. Its graphics can be switched off with the help of a software if you want to save some power. It has a nice set of speakers. Sound quality is good, it is louder as compare to our expectations. It has a good battery life, well that’s obvious because of its low voltage processor.
