Asus VivoBook S56CA-DH31-CA

 

The Asus VivoBook S56CA-DH31-CA ultrabook boasts an integrated DVD burner, reasonable price tag, and generous two-year warranty.

Integrated DVD burner. Two-year warranty. Reasonably priced.

Only one USB 3.0 port. Subpar keyboard doesn't include backlighting. Some bloatware.

Expert Review

 

Is it a good mid-range home laptop in general? It's not bad. It packs the waking speed of an SSD, an optical drive and good usability into a body that's still slimmer than most non-Ultrabook laptops. If you abandoned the slim form factor, you might be...

Upgraded and happy

 

I bought this as a refurb and immediately upped the RAM to 8gb, then swapped the hdd out for a 512gb SSD. The machine rocks right now. I wish I could upgrade to 16gb of RAM, but this motherboard may be able to read it but not use it. At this point, I...

Great footprint ; sexy metallic finish inside and out ; Easy to take apart to upgrade ; Thin and feels solid ; Most Ultrabooks at this size and weight dont have an optical drive. This does

Wouldnt mind thinner ; No touchscreen though to be truthful, I find them to be unnecessary and prefer without them ; Wish it could accommodate over 8gb of RAM

Love ASUS

 

If you plan to install a different OS, be aware that the SSD drive probably will not be large enough. Win 7 is simply too big even if you do a custom install and move things like the Users folders onto the other drive at install time. They still come...

Low ASUS price with their usual great quality. There certainly is nothing fancy about these units, but they do the job of daily office work wonderfully

Wouldn't buy again

 

Thin, attractive design. Faster than expected given 5400rpm drive

Purchasing this refurbed was a bad idea. When we got the laptop, Windows 8 wouldn't activate, stating that the number had already been activated. Asus support told us to reboot and press F9, which would've allowed a repair/reinstall. Except the machine...
