U46E-BAL5 chiclet keyboard is solid, the individual or the navigation keys do not feel lost when you write. It 'very similar to those of the Samsung QX411-W01, and not so soft (and a deeper answer), the Toshiba L745-S4210. The touchpad is so smooth and easy to navigate, like the Samsung QX411-W01, but the two differ U46E BAL5 a dedicated mouse buttons, which led to a better experience by clicking (integrated in the QX411-W01 is occasionally interrupted the movement cursor).

Performance
The components of this laptop is 2.3GHz Intel Core i5 leading-2410M processor and 8 GB of DDR3 memory. It's awesome, because conventional laptops, such as Samsung and Sony W01 QX411-VPC-EG16FM offer the same processor (and less memory) to higher premiums. Of course, the additional memory does not blow the competition in tests of Photoshop CS5 (4 minutes 10 seconds), but for those who use virtualization and run large databases, additional memory will come in very handy. The handbrake-U46E BAL5 of (1:53) and Cinebench R11.5 (2.59) scores are among the best in the race, although the Samsung QX411-W01 (1:59 handbrake on Cinebench 2 , 56) and VPC-EG16FM (2: 05 on the handbrake, Cinebench 2.6 in) no way to much. Gambling, according to our 3DMark 06 (5085), is the only place where his predecessor, the Asus U41JF-A1 (8189), had an overwhelming advantage.
Packing a huge battery 74WH was necessary to counter the effects of drainage i5. While his score of 7 hours 19 minutes on MobileMark 2007 was an hour late as the Samsung QX411-W01 (8:48) and Sony VPC-EF16FM (8:12) is still a lot of battery life-prolonging for a cross-country flight and then some.
Mainstream laptops awards, providing all goods prices are almost unbelievable. U46E-BAL5 Asus is equipped with a powerful Core i5 and maxes out the memory banks, while Easter eggs, such as throwing Widi 2.0, WiMAX, and USB 3.0. It 'also sports a beautiful facade, which is just as important. Want to be difficult to find a better deal than this. As such, it is our choice of new Editors' lapotops mainstream.
