Editorial note

The Asus K55A-XB71 stands out for its solid performance thanks to its Intel® Core™ i7 3rd generation processor, offering a frequency of 2.2 GHz and up to 3.2 GHz in Turbo mode. However, it may seem a bit outdated compared to newer models, which limits its capabilities for the most demanding applications. Its modern and sleek design, with black and brown finishes, gives it a professional look while being practical for everyday use. The internal memory of 8 GB, expandable up to 16 GB, and the generous storage capacity of 750 GB on the hard drive ensure good management of applications and files. However, the weight of 2520 g makes this laptop less portable than other lighter models, which can be a problem for frequent use on the go. Additionally, the lack of USB 3.0 ports limits data transfer speeds, a disadvantage for those who need to connect multiple high-speed devices. The battery capacity, while adequate, is not specified for extended use, which could be problematic during intensive use away from a power source. Finally, the absence of a numeric keypad on the keyboard may make number entry less convenient for some users. In terms of features, the high-quality stereo audio system provided by Altec Lansing ensures an immersive sound experience, while the complete connectivity allows for easy interaction with various devices. Overall, the Asus K55A-XB71 offers good value for money, but it would be wise to consider its limitations in terms of mobility and connectivity before making a choice.
