TechReviewSource.com posted a review on the Asus N56VZ-DS71 notebook
Asus looked to add to the multimedia line of laptops with the N56VZ-DS71. It has a beautiful 1080p 15.6-inch display, great audio quality and speedy performance. While it does lack in battery life, it makes up for it in its design and set of multimedia features.Asus N56VZ-DS71 Review
The design of the Asus N56VZ-DS71 is quite stylish with a brushed aluminum lid with a plastic lip. The inside deck is made of a single piece of silver aluminum with two dot patterns. This interior design looks really good and the whole thing together is built really well and is very sturdy. It measures 15.0 x 10.0 x 1.3-inches and weighs 6-pounds, which makes it about the same size as most other 15-inch notebooks.
Asus outfitted the N57VZ with an island-style keyboard with a full numeric keypad. The keys are well-spaced and are flat black in color with backlighting. We found the keys to be very responsive to presses and offered a good amount of feedback. The touchpad was quite large and offered a good amount of sensitivity. Multitouch gestures also worked well. Asus choose to have no discrete buttons for left and right click; instead, the touchpad is a clickpad.
