Asus X553SA review

 

We don't all have a huge budget for a new laptop but take a look at what the Asus X553 can offer for under £250.

The Asus X553SA is a lesson in the sacrifices you need to accept when buying a bottom-rung laptop. Parts of the build are basic, the screen has some issues and — the real kicker — it doesn’t feel fast. Cheap phones and cheap tablets can often feel...

The Asus X553MA is a low-cost 15.6in laptop, but its build quality and performance isn't very good

Asus X553MA review

  (Rating Hidden)

A cheap and cheerful laptop, the Asus X553MA has the potential to be a real bargain alternative for those looking for a new device. Does it reach its low price point through major compromises, though? The specs sheet offers a few early warnings, but we...

Not very good

 

My asus laptop lasted about 9 months before black spots started appearing on my screen. I called a few numbers, was put on hold over and over only to be walked yhrough an online rma/repair request screen by an asus rep. They approved the request. Then...

Cheap

 

This laptop has a few good features and runs very well. It is proficient and fast. I have not had any major issues with this laptop and this company

They keys and touch-pad are horrible. I am having issues with the keys periodically stopping working. I cannot type half of what I need to and am continuously having issues just using the keys. The speakers are located on the bottom of the keys and...

So Far Not Good

 

Really wish it would have worked a little while before it broke. Needed the computer so went with a replacement USB LAN connections and searching for service center to put the key back on.

It is a good value, Very light weight and clear screen

Key Fell Off, LAN Card will not work

Not bad

 

Overall, we/she likes her computer. Its a replacement for the prior Asus that stopped charging. I pulled it apart (yes, you have to pull the whole case apart to get at the battery and it was a beast to get in there) and reseated the battery and it...

Very little junkware. Only about a half hours worth of uninstalling stuff. About the least amount of time I have experienced ; Little higher stock clock on this Celeron than on the previous Asus gf had. Seems to respond a bit better ; Good/decent...

Hope I won't have to deal with Asus support ; The hard drive in most of these low end machines is a bottleneck. It's pretty slow. But for around 300, can't complain too much. I would say could just throw in an SSD in there but along with Windows 8's...

Great LAptop for a Short Price

 

For a $300 laptop, I really couldn't ask for anything more. This is a second computer on WIFI and performs like a champ. Other purpose is as a computer for travel. I'd recommend it to anyone. It's not a high-price gaming machine - but then, it ISN'T a...

Lightweight, thin, on-board optical drive, SD slot, large and responsive touch-pad, decent sound, Win 8.1, low cost, fairly fast machine

Fit & finish a bit lacking, keyboard pan dishes in yet keyboard bows up slightly, not Dolby-quality sound

ASUS X553MA-DB-01-WH

 

Cheaper than other brands and models, Light in weight.

The sound on my laptop started playing distorted, slowly and scratchy after a few days. This computer also updated itself when I turned it off to reboot after the sound continued to play distorted. Yet I did not receive a notification that it was going...
