Machine HD 6470M discrete graphics card is AMD's entry-level users to launch the product, its performance can only support to run a small 3D games and some simple graphics acceleration processor, but because the machine uses the APU intelligent dual graphics cards, so its compared to single-use HD6470 alone significantly the product still has some advantages. In the test, we chose several among the more popular 3D games on the gaming performance of the aircraft measured. And from the GPU score on 3Dmark, its dual graphics card under graphics performance is still more good.

, We use the office application testing by MobileMark 2007 test of endurance performance aspects of its verification, the test can reflect the life of a notebook in the office applications under low load. Can be seen from the figure below, this K55VM test results for 323 minutes, this performance belonged to the middle level in the same models targeted at business applications to meet the needs of most users daily.

ASUS K55VM machine with a 6cell ASUS K55VM Battery thermostat performance, the maximum temperature of 32.7 degrees Celsius keyboard surface suggesting that even in the high-load environment, the user will not discomfort because the body temperature is too high.

The keyboard surface of the aircraft using a two-color red color matching, show a strong sense of the impact on the visual effects, and more suitable for use by young people; the keyboard, using the popular Chocolate design, buttons through the frosted effect processing, can be measured in the feel of its key process shorter, back in soft; aircraft particles, high-touch touchpad, in measured performance than the good use of touch.

The machine provides the user with three USB 2.0 ports, 1 eSATA (USB 2.0 Multiplexing) interface, an HDMI interface, a VGA port, 1 RJ45 (network cable) interface, a set of headphones / microphone jack and more than one card reader. From the point of view of practical applications, these interfaces regardless of type or quantity sufficient to meet the needs of most users use every day, but the result was not equipped with USB3.0 interface, so I feel some regret.

The 756 three generations in the core hardware used by the Intel Core i7-2620M processor with the NVIDIA GeForce GT 520M discrete graphics card combinations, the GT 520M The discrete graphics is NVIDIA's latest generation of significant independence in the entry-level products, than processing The device comes with the core graphics performance slightly stronger support DX11 standard, but its graphics performance is still not really strong.

Machine performance to the point of view, the aircraft in graphics performance is weak, office performance was significantly better than the average level of similar products, the whole comprehensive performance is better. Starting from the perspective of practical application, the machine can be in day-to-day learning, office applications and high-definition movie playback, web games, family entertainment to provide strong enough support, does not allow users to feel the apparent stagnation. The view from the storage configuration, the performance of a single 4G memory and 500GB hard drive storage capacity can be in everyday applications to provide users with adequate support.
