Performance evaluation
What are the advantages of the Asus K55VD, considering its affordable price (under 15 million dong)? Despite its low price, the system configuration of the K55VD ensures high performance. Asus has equipped the machine with a 3rd generation Intel Core i5 3210M processor running at 2.5GHz (2 cores and 4 data processing threads).
When the Asus K55VD operates at its base speed of 2.5GHz, the machine automatically overclocks to speeds exceeding the standard up to 3.1 GHz (thanks to Intel's Turbo Boost technology for automatic overclocking).
The Asus K55VD also boasts 4GB of RAM, a 500GB hard drive (in Vietnam), and 750GB (European version).
In addition to being equipped with a dedicated NVIDIA GeForce GT 610M graphics card with 2GB of dedicated memory for heavy image processing, the CPU also integrates Intel's lightweight graphics processing. This helps the system save power and optimize display.
This product supports connectivity with 2 high-speed USB 3.0 ports, 1 USB 2.0 port, 1 VGA port, HDMI for external display connections, an RJ45 port for internet connection, and integrated SD card and DVD readers. It also includes wireless 802.11n2.4GHz connectivity.
Keyboard and Touchpad
Surrounding the Asus K55VD keyboard is a sleek aluminum frame designed to minimize fingerprint smudges. The keyboard on this laptop model is wider than its predecessors, providing comfortable typing, and the clickpad (left-right mouse buttons) is seamlessly integrated with the touchpad, offering an interesting new feature for users.
The touchpad of the laptop supports multi-touch gestures with a spacious area, allowing for comfortable execution of various tasks. It shares the same color tone as the palm rest but differs in material and texture, providing quick and accurate responsiveness.
Battery Life of Asus K55VD
This product has undergone hours of testing against other brands such as Toshiba Satellite C850 and Dell Inspiron 14Z, yielding continuous battery performance of 2 hours and 51 minutes under full load and an average screen brightness of 4 hours and 3 minutes. It delivers acceptable performance with dedicated graphics.
Powerful Configuration of Asus K55VD
The standout feature of this new model is its upgraded configuration and platform. The computer utilizes an Intel HM76 chipset motherboard with numerous improvements, including an upgraded graphics chip from HD3000 to HD 4000.
HD4000 offers approximately 1000 more processing points than HD3000 for various tasks. Paired with the new chipset is a 3rd generation (Ivy Bridge) CPU manufactured on 22nm technology, delivering superior processing performance.
Furthermore, the K55A will still be equipped with all essential and advanced connections, featuring up to 2 USB 3.0 ports, HDMI, and new technologies like ASUS SuperBatt. This has significantly increased the battery lifespan, lasting three times longer than conventional laptops, thanks to ASUS Super Hybrid Engine II technology.
In summary, the Asus K55VD laptop promises to be another successful product from Asus. With ample power to meet users' needs, elegant design, and notably reasonable pricing, it's an irresistible choice for users.
