ASUS VivoBook K556

ASUS VivoBook K556

Designed to cater to your everyday computing needs, ASUS K Series laptops with Windows 10 Home, boast a striking thin and light minimalist design with a cool black finish. It also has the performance to match – courtesy of Intel’s 7th Generation KabyLake Core-i5 and Core-i7 processors and NVIDIA GeForce 940MX 2GB graphics. On top of that, ASUS technologies take it to the next level, giving you intuitive user experiences and ergonomics.

The K Series is configured with the latest 7th generation Intel Core i5 or i7 processors to give you the performance you need to tackle even the most challenging tasks with ease. Also boasting NVIDIA’s GeForce 940MX 2GB GDDR5 graphics and Direct X 11, the K Series lets you create exceptional presentations for work, or enjoy high definition movies and games when it's time for you to kick back and relax. ASUS K Series packs all the features of notebook into a lightweight, thin design. With a thickness of just 21.7 mm and weighing less than 2 kg, this full-featured notebook combines remarkable performance with high mobility. And when you're out and about, the K Series' well-rounded edges and sleek, minimalist lines sets it apart.

ASUS Splendid Technology enhances the display of ASUS notebook panels to bring colours to life, immersing you stunning visuals with rich, deep hues. Most LED panels emit blue light - the main cause of macular degeneration and retinal problems. ASUS Splendid Eye Care mode effectively reduces blue light levels to ensure the right settings for reading and protecting you from potential eye fatigue and injuries.

All K Series laptops come with 16 GB of ASUS WebStorage free for an entire year. This gives you access to all your cloud-stored documents, photos, music, and memos on any internet-connected device. Instant file synchronisation ensures all your files are updated and backed-up in real time; you can even share them with friends and family via a download link.

Windows 10 is familiar and easy to use, with lots of similarities to Windows 7 including the Start menu. It starts up and resumes fast, has more built-in security to help keep you safe and is designed to work with software and hardware that you already have.

Microsoft Edge lets you move quickly from browsing to doing. Write or type notes directly on web pages and share them with others, read online articles free of distraction and save your favourite reads for convenient access later. And with Cortana enabled, you can highlight an unfamiliar term to get a contextual explanation that doesn’t take you away from where you are.

Get done faster by managing your desktop. Snap up to four things on one screen at the same time and create virtual desktops whenever you need more space or want to group things by project, like Office apps for work and games for play. Cortana works across your day and your devices to help you get things done. By learning more over time, Cortana becomes more personal and useful to you. Cortana’s also useful at reminders, delivering them at the right time and place so you forget less and can do more.
