Manual of product X552LD
Editorial note
The Asus X552LD stands out for its solid performance, powered by an Intel® Core™ i5 processor, which allows for a Turbo frequency of up to 2.6 GHz. This makes it a suitable choice for efficiently handling demanding tasks. Additionally, its 15.6-inch screen, although with a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels, provides a pleasant visual experience for multimedia and work. The 500 GB storage capacity is also generous, allowing for the retention of a large amount of data and multimedia files. However, there are some drawbacks to note. The 4 GB internal memory may prove insufficient for users who require high performance, particularly for multitasking or resource-intensive applications. Furthermore, the lack of USB 3.0 ports may slow down data transfers with modern devices, thus hindering efficiency. The NiMH battery technology, while durable, may have a shorter lifespan compared to modern lithium-ion batteries, and the weight of 2300 g may make it less convenient for those seeking a lightweight device. In terms of user experience, this model benefits from a sleek and modern design in black, although its weight may limit its portability. The value for money is fair, with satisfactory performance and comprehensive connectivity, although some limitations reduce the perceived value. Overall, the Asus X552LD is a laptop that offers a good balance between performance and features, but may not be suitable for all users, particularly those seeking greater power and better portability.Score details
