ASUS U46SV-DH51 Laptop

ASUS U46SV-DH51 all-purpose laptop sets itself apart from the crowd through great performance and outstanding battery life--two attributes that rarely cohabitate. The primary reason for the long 6-hour, 41-minute run time is an unusually large 74-watt-hour battery.
The battery protrudes about a half-inch beneath the back of the otherwise one-inch thick unit. The U46SV sports a stylish aluminum lid and keyboard deck, though the effect is cheapened slightly by chrome touchpad buttons and a rather bright power button. The touchpad is nicely responsive as well.
Our test unit featured an Intel Core i5-2430M CPU, 8GB of DDR3 memory, and a 750GB hard drive. Besides the stellar battery life, the U46SV scored a 123 on WorldBench 6--excellent for a Core i5. The U46SV's ports include VGA and HDMI, three USB ports (one of which is USB 3.0), ethernet, and an SD card slot. Though the U46SV turned in very nice performance numbers, it performs sluggishly for the first minute after booting with the stock software configuration. As hard as Asus tries to muck up a good hardware package with a bloated software installation, the U46SV remains an impressive combination of performance, ergonomics, and long battery life.
