The Asus UX50 is the company’s latest full size laptop, taking on the tapered look of the Eee PC Seashell range, and the slim 15.6-incher’s just washed up on our desk. Time for the hands-on treatment! Read on to stuff your face with all the close up photos you can eat.
The Asus UX50 is nowhere near as thin as the MSI X-Slim range, but the laptop’s pretty slim considering the specs it’s sporting under its minimalist shell: inside you’ll find an NVIDIA GeForce G105M graphics card, 4GB of RAM and an Intel 1.4GHz Core 2 Solo processor.
The first thing you’ll spot playing with the Asus UX50 is just how disturbingly shiny it is: it looks like it’s made out of mirror, and you’ll find yourself checking your hair in the trackpad. That means smudges all over of course, so be sure to carry the cleaning cloth around with the Asus UX50.
From our quick tests with the Asus UX50, the performance is more than reasonable considering the low power CPU, but the keyboard (Numeric included) is shockingly weak on the right hand side, caving downwards as you type. Still, if you want style and you want full size, the Asus UX50 is one of the best Windows options right now. Check it out in our hands-on gallery and see for yourself!
