With so many of the ASUS products being punted in the media for their innovation and unique design, sometimes the calm kids slip by unnoticed. This is particularly true of the S46 series of notebooks from ASUS that are neat, practical, beautiful and light.
While the ASUS S46CB may not have a smartphone hidden about its person/self/chassis, it does have some great features for the business user. You’ll find Windows 8 on board alongside the Intel Core i7 3537U processor and held within a sleek, brushed aluminium shell.
It has the smart gesture technology from ASUS built in to the large touchpad so you get improved touch input, quick and precise gesture detection and a wide range of additional motions supported too. You can use the ASUS Smart Gesture tech to drag, tap, click, scroll and zoom.
Of course, no modern ASUS ultrabook would be complete without the now legendary SonicMaster sound and the ASUS S46 offers deep and rich bass, a wide audio range and surround sound. You can use the ASUS AudioWizard to fine tune your audio experience and enjoy great multimedia quality for video watching on the move (that long commute) or presentations at the office.
There is the mandatory 2-second Instant On feature that all Intel ultrabook-defined devices must have and you get the GeForce GT 700M series of graphics for improved image quality on the go. Storage comes in the form of the SSD and SATA and the networking is comprehensive too.
The ASUS S46CB is a neat and efficient ultrabook that’s capable of handling business performance easily as well as offering a decent level of multimedia playback and entertainment. It is recommended for anyone who wants a workhorse with strong processing power and decent battery life and longevity.
