ASUS K52JR-A1 15.6-Inch Versatile Entertainment Laptop (Dark Brown) On Sale.


I could not be happier with this laptop. Aesthetically, I love the brown and that it’s not a boring black laptop. The size is a bit large for me and the lacquer finish around the screen is annoying as it reflects light. And a 0.2MP webcam? Grainy and crappy. For this machine I would expect a 2.0MP. I honestly thought it might be a misprint. It is not. When I skype there are issues and they are usually my fault.

I do not use this laptop for gaming. No offense to all you gamers but I don’t have time for such luxuries. All the 4 star ratings talk about the screen resolution being subpar. I guess since I don’t play Halo on it I don’t see anything but a crisp LED screen.

I need this machine for home use (iTunes, internet, skype) but also for work (Cisco soft phone, ERP, SketchUp, Layout). My work laptop is about 15 pounds with a 17″ screen and is a beast to travel with. Since I frequently am out and about I needed something lighter and more compact. I basically need it to perform like a Mac but be a PC. One of the key features I wanted was a dedicated graphics card, as for work I use SketchUp and 3D rendering software (like the web based Google plugin O3D) and needed this to be quick. The 1GB dedicated graphics card from ATI is perfect. The only issue I have is the O3D plugin does not yet work with the 64 bit operating system. Having a 64 bit system is a good thing but be prepared for issues. Not everything is designed to work with it yet.

I am very happy with the sound system and the facial recognition software so I don’t have to login with a password. I also love the keyboard. The Mac like chicklet keyboards have the keys so close to each other I frequently mistype, but this keyboard is the same style but has the keys more spaced out.

I’m sure I have lots more to experience as its only been a month but so far I am extremely happy with my ASUS.

A Great Laptop – R. Kevin Sparkman –
I have loved this laptop since I just powered it up. It is better the the Dell, Sony, HP, and Toshiba’s I have used for personal or business.

Don’t waste your time – Aaron Buechlein –
So, after doing a bit of research, I decided to purchase this laptop. For the specs it seemed like a great deal. Had decent reviews on here and [...]. Other Asus laptops seemed to have decent reviews as well. Well, the first one shipped to me was dead in less than 5 hours. It just shut itself off while I was using it and never powered back on after that. Thankfully, Amazon was great and sent me a new replacement no questions asked. I used that one for about a month. I shut it down one night. Next morning, tried to power it back on. Nothing. This time I had to send it in to ASUS. So, I was without a computer for about a week. I’m now on my 3rd one. Apparently this is a common problem for this series. Just google “Asus laptop won’t power on”. Sounds like they may have used some bad components or it overheats easily. I didn’t abuse this thing either. Just used it for standard stuff. Work, internet, email, and watched a few videos. Very disappointed.

Good Computer – Rocket Ron – PA
I have had the laptop for about a month and am very happy with it. The only downside is the 15.6 widescreen cuts some normal web pages. That is not the laptop fault, I should have checked and maybe gone to a 16″. Still the weight and looks of the ASUS is top notch. Performance is great even on engineering 3D models I some time run.
