Clearer sound and deeper bass

On most notebooks, all sound frequencies originate from small onboard speakers. The resulting audio comes from a single source and lacks distinctiveness. Like other notebooks in the ASUS range, the X550 comes equipped with SonicMaster technology to bring you high fidelity audio. Experience omnidirectional sound and hear each individual instrument's nuances with the X550.

Lifelike colors with ASUS Splendid technology

Exclusive Splendid technology delivers vibrant visuals to satisfy the most demanding viewing standards. It Fine-tunes display properties based on application, adjusting color gamut and accuracy.

Splendid technology provides four modes to accommodate different viewing conditions, so you can choose the most suitable preset based on personal preference and environment.

Solid typing experience

The Chiclet keyboard design spaces out the keys to provide an improved layout that ensures typing accuracy.

These details add up to reduce user fatigue even after prolonged periods of typing.
