My cousin bought an Asus K43SJ Asus K43SV today and she asked me to setup the laptop (as this thing came with no OS) so I took the chance to show it to you guys. I gotta say I’m loving it! A little first impression in terms of the size and build quality: it’s slim, the palm rest is made out of aluminum and the keyboard has significantly less flex than its predecessor, the K42 Series (which I own) which makes it a joy to type on. Some quick specs:
- 2nd Generation Core i5 2410m Processor @ 2.3 GHz
- 2 GB DDR3 Memory
- 500GB HDD
- Nvidia Geforce GT540M with 1GB VRAM
Not bad for a laptop that costs Php 32k. I’ll try to write a review and might do some benchmarks if she lets me borrow it again. For now, enjoy these pictures!
