WRITE A REVIEW ON ASUS X58C AP008E LAPTOP

When you want a laptop but don’t have a lot of money to spend on one, you probably think you won’t be able to get a hold of one. Actually, the Asus X58C AP008E laptop is geared to those people who want a quality laptop without spending a lot of money to get it.

You may be surprised to see what you get with the Asus X58C AP008E laptop because it can put other more expensive machines to disgrace. The plastic design is tough so it can handle the everyday wear and tear you’re sure to give it. It’s got a finish that’s attractive as well as hard wearing.

As you touch the keyboard, you’ll notice that the keys are firmly attached and solid. As you touch the touchpad, you’ll notice that it responds as you ask it to. The scrollbar allows you to navigate easily through the web pages and office documents.

The Asus X85C AP008E laptop weighs 2.8 kilograms, which allows you the ability to move it anywhere you want. However, it’s got a short battery life of only 140 minutes, depending on its use.

Like many other laptops of present-day, the Asus X58C AP008E has a 15.4-inch screen, which is a Super-TFT panel. The pixel screen resolution sits at 1280 by 800. The resolution is great for watching movies and editing your photographs.

However, the Sis graphics card, which gives users 3D power, falls short of what some would expect out of it. While you can do basic document tasks, playing games may be a little hard to do.

If you run a multitude of applications at once, you’ll notice the laptop will lag. Its performance is slightly behind other modern-day laptops especially with the installation of Windows Vista as its operating system. Add that to the 1.2-gigahertz Intel Celeron chip and as long as you just need to fulfill basic needs, you’ll have a great laptop.

What else do you get with the Asus X58C AP008E laptop? Despite its price, you’ll get the 802.11 Wi-Fi that allows you to connect to the Internet by way of the fastest wireless available. You’ll also enjoy the 160-gigabyte hard drive, which allows you to store plenty of files. You also have a multi format DVD rewriter that allows you to easily back up your files on a blank CD and DVD.

An additional memory card reader will let you gain access to files and photos from a digital camera and other devices. On the laptop, there are four USB ports that allow you to connect to any of peripherals. You will have the ability to hook up to an external analogue screen by way of the VGA-out interface.

The Asus X58C AP008E doesn’t handle multi tasking very well and its 3D graphics is quite limited. You can certainly tell where Asus cut corners but if you just need a basic computer with space, then the Asus X58C AP008E can certainly help you.
