amazon Asus K501UX reviews
Asus K501UX is still considered as the first laptop Asus owns the screen resolution of 4K (3,840×2,160 pixels).
On the configuration, the Asus K501UX features a 15.6-inch LED screen, an Intel Core i5-6200U processor clocked at 2.3GHz (accelerates to 2.8GHz), a GeForce 950M discrete graphics with 4GB of RAM Graphics, 1TB hard drive (can be upgraded to SSD as needed), 802.11ac Wi-Fi connectivity, LED backlight keyboard, 48Wh battery and running Windows 10. It also supports 2 USB 3.0 ports, 2 ports USB 2.0, HDMI, RJ-45 and HDMI-VGA conversion cable included.
From the actual exposure, Test Lab found that the Asus K501UX test version looks good looking and looks good thanks to its dark-colored aluminum design. Like the back of the screen, Asus also equips the K501UX touchpad area with cool aluminum material.
Test Lab appreciates the aluminum surface design of the Asus K501UX because it has less fingerprint adhesion during use, but the plastic base of the machine is very sensitive fingerprint.
Overall, the Asus K501UX is as stylish as the Zenbook notebooks that have visited the Test Lab. The machine also has a wide hinged corner, which is more comfortable for users when it is set lower than the eye level. Compared to the same size products, the Asus K501UX is also quite good because it is quite neat and not too heavy.
Also from the practical experience, Test Lab found that the Asus K501UX has shown that basic keyboard and touchpad design does not receive many upgrades.
Speaking more specifically, the touchpad, though with a large surface, surfaces for a smooth, yet basic interaction that still needs a lot of force in the hand to select or open the application on the screen. In addition, two left / right mouse buttons are also not very smooth to operate.
Particularly for the keyboard, despite its decent keypad, relaxed character spacing, LED backlighting, and flexible customizable light / darkness – Test Lab has yet to feel the soft keys and Sure in every operation, though, speed surfing is not fast. Although Asus was clever in positioning the power button completely independent of the keyboard area, unfortunately the way that the navigation keypad layout actually caused the product to lose a point of usability in the entry data category.
On the screen, the results of the frame brightness score that Asus K501UX achieved really good as expected. This 15.6-inch screen surface is also effective in anti-glare when used under many light sources in a conventional office emulation environment. With a 15.6-inch display supporting the Asus K501UX’s stunning resolution, the Test Lab does not discuss the details of the image as explained in the “4K Laptop Screen: This value really exceeds the needs of the eye.
However, based on the synthesis of the results obtained in color, contrast and related values, Test Lab really can only rank the overall image quality of this frame rather rather high than. Simply because the test results show that the image still has some limitation in color saturation, some monochromatic colors do not appear to be as expected.
