The Asus K501UW(-AB78)<\/strong> is a gaming PC packed in a mainstream laptop form factor. Externally, the 15.6-inch K501UW(-AB78) doesn’t differ from the usual everyday laptops, but inside it packs some gaming-centric hardware. In particular, the Nvidia GeForce GTX 960M dedicated video card.<\/p>\n

The 15.6″ screen features crispy Full HD resolution and anti-glare coating. But unfortunately, IPS technology for wide viewing angles has been omitted on this model. Also, touchscreen functionality is missing, as same as a built-in DVD drive. On the other hand, the keyboard of the aluminum-topped “Glacier Gray” Asus K501UW(-AB78) has backlight beneath the keys and the whole laptop is quite portable for a gaming-capable machine. It weighs in at 5.2 pounds and is 0.9″ thick. <\/p>\n

Regarding internal components, the centerpiece is the Nvidia GTX 960M graphics card, which in this model comes with 2GB of video memory. Supported by the 6th Generation Intel Core i7-6500U<\/a> upper-mid-range processor and 8GB of DDR4 RAM, the GTX 960M<\/a> enables playing of all popular game titles. Some of the heaviest titles hardware-wise won’t be able to run smoothly on maximal graphics settings and Full HD resolution. For that purpose you can take a look at some more powerful gaming laptops, such as the Asus ROG GL502<\/a> series with faster Nvidia GPUs like the GTX 970M or GTX 1060. Another great feature of the Asus K501UW(-AB78) is its solid state drive. Besides great data reading and writing speeds, the SSD has a generous capacity of 512GB, as opposed to more common 128GB or 256GB. <\/p>\n

The system includes stereo speakers, a web camera, 802.11AC Wi-Fi and Ethernet LAN network interfaces, two USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 ports, HDMI video output, a combo audio port, a memory card reader, and Bluetooth 4.0.<\/p>\n

The built-in battery has good capacity of 48 Whr, which should translate to at least around 4-5 hours of battery life under low computing load with lowered display brightness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
