With a 2.1GHz dual core Core i3-2310M processor, 4GB of RAM, a 500GB hard drive and a 15.6" TFT with 1366×768 and a price tag under $650 the slightly bulky but also powerful ASUS K53E is an interesting notebook. The Tech Report started the review hoping that the dual core processor would translate into longer battery life but instead ASUS opted for a less powerful battery, which does help the price. Still, six hours of web browsing and 4.5 hours of perfect HD video playback is nothing to sneer at. Check out the full review to see how well it handled other tasks.
