Manual of product X550VQ
Editorial note
The Asus X550VQ stands out for its solid performance, thanks to the Intel® Core™ i5-6300HQ processor and its DDR4-SDRAM memory, which allow for smooth execution of multiple tasks simultaneously. The 15.6-inch Full HD screen offers exceptional display quality, ideal for watching videos and graphic work. However, there are some drawbacks to consider. The lack of a numeric keypad can complicate certain input tasks, and the weight of 2450 g makes it less portable for frequent use on the go. Additionally, while the 1000 Go storage capacity is generous, the maximum internal memory of 12 Go may not be sufficient for users with high multitasking needs. In terms of design, the laptop has a modern look with stainless steel and an elegant gray finish. However, its weight may be a drawback for those seeking a lightweight device. In terms of value for money, the Asus X550VQ offers interesting features, such as an integrated stereo audio system and a microphone, but the lack of a touchscreen limits interactivity. Finally, the NVIDIA GeForce 940MX graphics card, while acceptable for multimedia tasks, may not meet the expectations of gamers or users of intensive graphic applications.Score details
