ASUS announced a new K series model – K501UW – which offers a Core i7 processor, GTX 960M GPU, 8 GB DDR4 of RAM and 512 GB SSD!

Of course, it is great that you get a powerful Skylake Core i7 processor, Full HD display and 8 GB of RAM. However, we are mostly impressed by the available GTX 960M GPU that will deliver great graphics performance. Usually, laptops with this graphics card start from $730-800 (for example, Acer Aspire V15 Nitro Black Edition and HP Pavilion 15 Gaming). Nonetheless, we must not forget that ASUS K501UW offers another pleasant surprise – a 512 GB SSD. Its fast performance certainly justifies the price difference. What is more, the manufacturer has managed to fit all this powerful hardware in an incredibly stylish and compact body. K501UW is only 21.7 mm thick and weighs less than 2 kg! People who travel a lot will be in love with this device.

This laptop also comes in configurations with Intel Core i5-6200U CPU, which may very well be a bottleneck for graphics performance. On the other hand, if you go for Intel Core i7 ULV processor, everything should be alright.
