All around an excellent product. It is very fast.
The only drawback is windows 8.

Comments about ASUS S56CA-DH51 15.6" Notebook Computer (Black):
I like it very much. I use it for my job - office docs, spreadsheets, database, internet, etc.
Its very thin, cool looking and they even managed to squeeze dvd rom inside. From cold start it is up very fast.
Only complain is that it comes with win8. I just don't like it.
Battery life could be longer, but as it is plugged in most of times, its ok.

I use this product for home entertainment and for work-related stuff (MS word, powerpoint, excel, etc)
The design is awesome, it's very powerful, it's very thin and light. Just the type of laptop I was looking for, and for an incredible price. So far, I can't find any negatives.

Comments about ASUS S56CA-DH51 15.6" Notebook Computer (Black):
I've been using this laptop for about a week. I use this laptop mainly for typing and photo editing. A 15.6 in screen shows much more than my little 12" tablet. The metal panel looks nice and seems durable. It is slightly thinner than my girlfriend's 13" Macbook pro. The battery life is OK unless you streaming movies or doing intense calculation works (like processing large RAW files or HD movies). The only thing I don't like is that the bottom parts are made of plastic and feels cheap. Also, it is a little noisy when the fans are running at full speed. I hope this laptop will last for a few years.
