Asus X553MA-XX067D Laptop (Pentium Quad Core 4th Gen/2 GB/500 GB/DOS)

Bought this on 26 Dec. since it's by a third party retailer packaging wasn't good. Problems: 1. When I received the product, found that HD is making too much of noise on read/write. Asus service guy replaced the disk. But seem the Hitachi brand have this issue. 2. Now it's 1 month past and the keyboard have stopped working. Again I have to rush for service. Not sure if they'll replace with genuine parts or not. I don't recommend this to anybody. Cons: 1. 2GB ram not enough, windows 8.1 will eat lot of CPU in disk activities running all the time. 2. PQC not so fast process for daily use too.. By the way, it have few good things too. 1. Light weight 2. Longer batter life due to low nm processor.

The laptop is good in this price range. but dos operating system can be a trouble for customers. if RAM can increase to 4 gb than it can perform 64 bit os more efficiently. nnif we use benchmark software to benchmark than it is come under surfing board category.nFor normal working or day to day working laptop has no performance issues. however some notification lights i.e. caps lock on off etc. are absent. nabout metal body - i am steal confuge wether plastic or metal.nOverall it is a good performer of average user.nnhow to install window :-n1. make a bootable pendrive or cd of windows 8.1 or 10.n2. plug in the pen drive.n3. switch on the laptopn4. system boots from the pendrive and window starts installing.n5.
