First-hand consumer opinion about the cheap 15-inch laptop Asus X55V, which we reviewed some time ago

Asus X55V customer review
Back in the days the Asus X55V was a decent laptop
If you remember, about 6 years ago we made a full customer review of the Asus X55V laptop. It happened to be a reliable computer with adequate computing power from Intel's Core i3 processor.

Since then we haven't spoken anything in particular about the X55V laptop so here are some top pros and cons taken from customers' feedback:
Asus X55V Pros
  • Cheap
  • Good hardware for the money - Intel processors and big HDD
  • Nice amount of ports

Asus X55V Cons
  • Average build quality
  • Mediocre display
  • Keyboard feels kind of cheap
  • Quite big

Back in the time when we first reviewed the Asus X55V I remember I didn't like the HD display a lot. Also the form factor - felt really big, even though I was aware that this is 15.6-inch laptop.

As for the comfort of the keyboard I would definitely recommend you to check one of the most comfortable and yet reliable keyboards we have ever tested - Dell Latitude E7240 keyboard.

Software
First the X55V came with Windows 8 operating system which I wouldn't consider an advantage. I am not sure about its latest versions, might be upgraded to a 10. Currently we are using mostly Windows 7 and Windows 10 machines and honestly the 7 is the most stable OS we worked with.

Price
Probably one can buy the Asus X55V laptop second hand for under $200. If you found one, please check its components, especially files stored on the hard drive since it could be damaged due to some drops and sever shocks.

Other thoughts
You are probably asking yourselves "why are we even mentioning such old machine". Well, we have respect for old computers to say the least so we love to talk and share information about them.

The slightly newer version - the X55VD


If you have any comments about the Asus X55V laptop computer, please feel free to share them in the comment form. Also, if you need any drivers or software about it, we will love to help you with some info.

By
Lenovo ThinkPad E16 Gen 3: Flaw Fixed, Efficiency Gained Hey everyone, and welcome back! I was excited to finally get my hands on the third generation of the Lenovo ThinkPad E16 . As many of you know, I spent a good amount of time with the Gen 2, and while it was a solid business machine, there were definitely a few things that needed attention. This is my very first look at the Gen 3, and I wanted to share my initial feedback on what’s improved and what hasn’t. The E16 Gen 3 I’m reviewing here is equipped with the Intel Core Ultra 5 processor, shared Intel graphics, and 32GB of RAM.

By
AIWA RS-55 Review: Retro Style Meets Modern Sensitivity In an era dominated by digital streaming and smart speakers, there is a unique satisfaction in the tactile click of an analog dial. For my latest test, I went back to basics with the AIWA RS-55 AM/FM receiver . AIWA is a legendary Japanese brand, and with the RS-55, they’ve managed to capture a vintage aesthetic without sacrificing the build quality we expect today.
