ASUS A55A-TH52 Laptop Computer - 3rd generation Intel Core i5-3210M 2.5GHz, 6GB DDR3, 750GB HDD, Bl

The A55A-TH52 is awesome. I was worried when I ordered it that maybe ASUS was getting rid of old stock. I am pretty sure this is the first review for this PC anywhere. Windows 8 is OK, I love Windows 7, and this is basically 7 with some extras as far as I can tell.

The laptop is very well constructed, and has all of the standard ASUS features... so don't worry:

(2) USB 3.0 ports, Wi-Fi 802.11, IceCool... this is basically the same as A55A-AB51 with the RAM and BluRay upgrade.

The reviews for the AB51 had complaints for the spacebar ? Most of these people said they were good at typing... their complaint must have something to do with home row? Anyway, I have no issues with it... and I actually like that it has a full number keypad like a standard keyboard.

I currently have a Lenovo for my work laptop that is a much lower grade device than this. I have had multiple Dell Latitude laptops over the years. I really liked the Dell D610, and D630 models. This ASUS is easily on par with them for hardware quality.

I have read complaints on other models about speaker quality. This is a laptop. It has the best sound quality of any laptop I have ever had or used, it is louder with solid sound quality. If you expect deep base sounds from laptop speakers, you will be disappointed with this laptop, and probably life in general.

Touchscreen seems just right to me. Maybe it is better with the windows 8 drivers? This machine seems fast and efficient.

EDIT:

I used the DVD/BluRay some through the HDMI, and I had some disappointment before adjusting settings.

*Hardware acceleration should be turned on for battery mode in the ASUSDVD settings

*Most of my disappointment was with the non-upgraded version of PowerDVD. The software limited the DVD output to Stereo, and offered an upgrade to give 5.1 Surround output, on BluRay I was limited to MONO! ***THE FIX*** My surround system and many others can decode digital audio signals, so you can get the full audio your surround system is capable of producing. Play a DVD, click the Hammer/Screwdriver icon, select audio settings, on the pulldown menu for output mode select "Non-Decoded Dolby Digital/DTS Audio to External Device".

Easy to use, OK webcam, fast start-up, light for it's size, easy to use keyboard, right click on mouse pad is difficult to use, overall a good laptop for the price Like windows 8....
