Asus A56CB Review + BenchMarks ~ Saad Reviews (Reviews + Benchmarks)

The notebooks have become integral part of our daily lives and we know that as well but why people are not satisfied with their notebook performance and they changed their notebooks after every month?. ASUS is a well famous brand for its quality built, solid performer products including their attractive and performer notebooks. As ASUS starting to build notebooks many years ago, people have more options for their requirements and budget. Today we are going to review an ASUS notebook which is Asus A56CB.

The Asus A56CB has attractive design and professional look. The whole black and silver color scheme really gives a perfect feeling and professional looks to ASUS A56CB. The ASUS A56CB gives a nice impression on first look. The body is made with aluminum and the black plastic has been used for the bottom unit as well. The black texture plastic is also used in the manufacturing the body of ASUS A56CB. The hinges are well strong for handling the display. The total weight of notebook is about 2.99 kg which is a bit more than expected. The body is quite strong and we found it solid as a notebook. Overall ASUS A56CB has very nice design and built quality.

The ASUS A56CB has 15.6 inch display screen which is basically a TN LED backlight glossy display panel which offer the max resolution of 1366x768. The resolution of the display is quite suitable as a lower mid level notebook and the brightness of the display is of standard level i.e. not great not poor. The contrast ratio of the screen is pretty nice and that is quite good as well. The image quality of the screen is also of standard level but its inconsistent and the viewing angles are good (horizontal) but (vertical) viewing angles are very limited. The notebook is not suitable for the outdoor as it has a glossy display and refection is a big problem in outdoor use. Overall ASUS A56CB has standard display.

The ASUS A56CB has a full size keyboard i.e. including numpad. The keyboard is basically a Chiclet style keyboard with backlighting. The keyboard has pretty decent size keys which is good. The keys are of black color key with nice key stroke and good pressure points make is very useful for fast typing with good accuracy as we do not find any problem is typing accurately with the keyboard of ASUS A56CB. The touchpad is also of pretty decent size. It is not a clickpad and but keys are integrated into surface and separated by a white line on the surface. The touchpad also done well in our navigation and multi-gesture tests. Overall ASUS A56CB has nice keyboard and touchpad.

The ASUS A56CB has two stereo speakers which are located just above the keyboard and they are basically SonicMaster speakers as ASUS mention and they also mention “Crystal Clear Sound” and the speakers has decently high max volume level. The quality of the sound is not good as expected and base is of standard level but inconsistent whereas ASUS mention “Deep and Rich Base” which is not fulfilled as we test. Overall ASUS A56CB has just standard level speakers but not as good as mention.

As the Asus A56CB has body made with aluminum so temperatures are expected to be a bit high and they are a bit high in idle mode, when we run normal tasks, the temperatures were not suitable to use the notebook on the lap in load so we recommend to do not use Asus A56CB on the lap either load or idle working. The fan of Asus A56CB produce low noise in the idle mode as expected and it turn off some times in idle scenario. The noise in load was also acceptable and it was not enough to distract so it runs quiet than many notebooks we have reviewed so far. So Asus A56CB run quiet but not as cool to be used on lap.

The ASUS A56CB has variety of connectivity options as it has AC-in, 1x USB 3.0, Ethernet port, VGA and HDMI on the left side and on the other hand, right side, it has 2x USB 2.0 ports, optical drive and 1x audio port and Kingston lock port. It has nothing on the front, nor on the rear side. The ASUS A56CB do not have built-in Memory card reader and It has high speed latest Wifi module for high speed wireless communications but it has no Bluetooth module so this option is not available for wireless connectivity. Overall ASUS A56CB has good connectivity options.

The ASUS A56CB has a Lithium-ion battery which is basically 4 cell battery of 44 watts which manage to keep ASUS A56CB running for about 257 minutes which is quite good for any notebook. We test the battery life by doing all the tasks as normal users gonna do, for example we run Microsoft Office work i.e. typing while listening audio songs. Watching HD movie/ Video clips, surfing web via Wifi, Photo editing, some gaming etc. to get the most realistic results which are more near to real life.

ASUS A56CB has a very nice attractive design and it has very good connectivity options including USB 3.0 but Bluetooth is not available which can be ignore as we do not use Bluetooth much. The speakers are decent but inconsistent sound quality. The display is quite suitable for indoor use but outside usage is quite difficult. It has good battery life and the Keyboard and touchpad are very nice and responsive as well. The notebook performs well in our benchmark tests. The ASUS A56CB has some good/ bad things which are mention above and you are the one who is gonna make the decision of buying ASUS A56CB or not but in my opinion, ASUS A56CB is suitable for lower mid level users, anyway need some advice then don’t hesitate to contact us.
