Display and Design
The Asus N55SL-S1050V features a 15.6-inch HD LED backlit display with a typical WXGA resolution of 1,366 x 768 pixels. From the outside, the device appears to be extremely sophisticated thanks to its glossy metal frames, soft palm rest and piano glass cover. But it will pose huge problems if you plan to carry it due to its high thickness of 35.5mm and an equally imposing weight of 2.7kg. The glossy finish attracts fingerprints and scratches and needs care.

Moving on to the inside, the laptop is powered by a mighty 2.2GHz Intel Core i7 processor from 2nd generation series and operating on HM65 Express chipset. Assisting it is a beastly 8GB DDR3 RAM which enables you to stay engrossed in movies while running a number of highly demanding tasks in the background. The laptop is embedded with 2GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 635M graphics card in order to keep you engrossed in lively games without any lag. It runs on 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium OS.

It also flaunts a Blu Ray DVD Combo drive which lets you stream ultra rich media files swiftly from DVDs. The stereo speakers powered by Asus SonicMaster technology and Bang and Olufsen ICE power ensure richer bass with greater impact.
