Main Features

Powering the ASUS F556UA-AS54 are a sixth-generation (Skylake), 2.3GHz Intel Core i5 6200U processor (with Turbo up to 2.8GHz), 8GB of memory and integrated Intel HD 520 graphics. Unlike, our Editors’ Choice the Acer Aspire E5-573G-57HR, that comes with a dedicated Nvidia GeForce 940M graphics card with 2GB of video memory, the performance is still snappy since you won’t be running heavy games on the Asus AS54.

For the day-to-day notebook user, a sixth-generation (Skylake) processor with a CPU benchmark CPU benchmark score of 3,900 is more than enough for enthusiast-level media editing on Photoshop among other programs. Apparently, 8GB (seemingly upgradable, swapped it with a pair of 4GB and 8GB to get 12GB) will let you keep dozens of browser tabs open simultaneously. The 256GB solid-state-drive (SSD) is double the 128GB on theHP 15-ay013nr, while the HP 15-ay011nr comes with a roomier 1TB hard drive. While the 256GB SSD makes the system snappier, the 1TB is ideal if you like to store most family snapshots and music files.

The integrated Intel HD 520 graphics card, is typical for the entry-level desktop replacement, and it doesn’t provide much room for heavy gaming. The ASUS F556UA-AS54 managed 30FPS on GTA at low settings (1366-by-768), but you can expect better playability on casual games such as Starcraft 2, Minecraft and League of Legends among other lighter titles. If you need to play some recent game titles but on a budget, the Dell Inspiron I7559-763BLK offers smooth playability and good frames per second (FPS) scores even on modern game titles. That said, the ASUS AS54 still allows you to play some casual games, only at low eye-candy of which you need to pay slightly more to get a dedicated gaming rig such as the ASUS ROG GL552VW-DH71, our top pick for entry-level gaming laptops. The system comes pre-installed with Windows 10 Home (64-bit) which is quite standard for most recent laptops in the same category, lately.

Other Features

On the ASUS F556UA-AS54 you have a decent array of ports. Here we’re talking of three types of USB ports: one USB 2.0 port, one USB 3.0 port and the latest Type-C port, which was conspicuously missing in the competing HP 15-ay013nr or even its other iteration the HP 15-Ay011nr. If you need to connect it to your external display, a VGA and HDMI output comes handy, while 802.11 AC-type WiFi+Bluetooth 4.1 card will sort your wireless needs. For media, a DVD burner and an SD card reader are available to access your older movies and files.
