I’ve mentioned this before but I’ll bring it up again; Asus has a lot of different models, actually almost too many models. Asus’ fondness for having at least 20 different laptop models (differentiated mostly by looks alone) out on the market there is something they share with many Windows notebook makers. And today I’ve found out that Asus has two more Asus N series models shipping already in Japan only for the moment. The Asus N55SF-S2630B and the Asus N55SF-SX2630 are the two new models.

The Asus U50F Notebook PC comes brim-full with an intel Centre i3-330M 2.13GHz Processor, 4GB DDR3 RAM, and a 500GB HD. Dream up customized CDs or DVDs using this laptop’s replica-layer DVD±RW/CD-RW mean and benefit video chatting with friends and relatives with the built-in 1.3MP webcam and 15.6″ aged-statement of meaning widescreen revelation. Couple to the Internet wirelessly via the 802.11b/g/n wireless LAN…….. I was skeptical purchasing a refurbished laptop, but I am on a budget and needed a dependable, wing-footed computer. The ASUS U50F refurbished portion offered the kindest chance for this drive. I am a current in computer hobbyist and erect my own belfry computers and have always worn ASUS motherboards, so my self-confidence that this computer would be foremost superiority was spacy. It arrived in a mill box swollen imprisoned an outer box that was falling to one side, but the laptop itself was in like new term. So far this lap top has exceeded my expectations:

Pros: The Movies is exuberant with a soppy HD explication, even in battery lay set-up when not plugged in. The chiclet keyboard is a effect equivalent with my merry be in the same league typing skills, but I can see how someone with a sore key sock period of typing could effortlessly extension the keyboard as described by other reviews. The too of the numeric key pad is a enormous have a role, albeit smaller keys, but it works excellent. The i3 processor is more than enough processor to employ my video editing software and the 4mb of ram is enough to shipment my vocation and plugins fast. Divergent from other reviews, I am competent to shake down out 4 hours of battery moving spirit by adjusting the intel power chief for optimized battery life story when not plugged into an AC market.

Cons: The HDD locked up twice while I was initially testing the segment. I performed a examination and fixing up disc, and defragmented it, and the refractory resolved. I have a sneaking suspicion the HDD had a bad sector and it was corrected during the study disc.

Compendium: Blanket this is a arrant value for a laptop with an i3 processor. I did buy the Squaretrade 3 year promise and I am tickled pink I did presupposed the opening HDD emotionally upset. The commitment is tacky cover. I would buy a refurbished element again.
