      Mobility and style by design

      The U56 has been crafted for easy mobility that maintains aesthetic sophistication. Brushed hairline aluminum textures on cover surfaces join a seamless one-piece keyboard, contributing to the strong and durable build. Even the hinges show careful consideration, moved forward for wider opening angles and better usability, highly desired in confined spaces when commuting or traveling. To improve input, the touchpad applies a soft-touch treatment, and the entire notebook gives off a trim and neat feel with its thin profile. Lake Blue and Champagne Silver color schemes currently available.

      Smart power

      Implementing the latest Intel® mobile platform and up to Intel® Core™ i7 2640M processors, the U56 excels at speedy multitasking. It also utilizes Intel® HD3000 graphics for better multimedia, making it ideal for work and entertainment in every application and situation. Intel® Turbo Boost 2.0 technology further unlocks instant performance gains for better response in high-demand tasks, delivering smooth and gratifying computing.
