5.0 out of 5 stars Works fine so far!, April 15, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
I bought this laptop after a few months of longing, a few weeks of research, and a few days of price hunting. My requirements were fairly simple. I wanted Windows 7 with an i3 or better, at least 4GB of RAM (upgrade-able to 8) and a 320GB drive or bigger. I also wanted to spend no more than $500.

The system arrived within a few days and I excitedly opened it and read through the instructions (this is out of character, but I understand the importance of first start up). The first step was running the backup (4 DVDs later..) and then I worked on removing the bloat. ASUS, like so many others, ships with a bunch of crap you don't need, though in this case it was less than I expected.

The system itself is nice and quick. I have had it playing Need For Speed Hot Pursuit (the new one) and it performs nicely. I've also had it running a Folding@Home client (see [...]) which nets around 2000 points per day. This compares to about 200-300 on my old Athlon64 Desktop... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent general purpose laptop..., April 27, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: ASUS A53E-AS31-RD 15.6-Inch Laptop (Red) (Personal Computers)
The ASUS A53-AS31-RD is a very good general purpose laptop. It works well with productivity applications, web browsing and basic photo editing. It multitasks well (playing music and working on Office applications). The area around the keyboard and touchpad and the top are each textured; that and the dark red color keep this machine from being a fingerprint magnet: good design!

Ports include an SD media slot, a LAN connection, three USB ports and HDMI out. Battery life is average; around 3 hours out of the box, although you can probably coax more out of it with adjustments in the Windows 7 control panel or the included ASUS desktop power management gadget. Out of the box it was relatively free of unwanted bloatware or trial versions of programs (kudos to ASUS for that).

This computer does not ship with recovery media; you'll need four DVDs when you run it's built-in utility to create your own (do this first!).

Overall, this is a solid laptop that should... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars ASUS A53E-AS31-RD, April 29, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: ASUS A53E-AS31-RD 15.6-Inch Laptop (Red) (Personal Computers)
This is my first laptop and I was a little nervous shopping. Luckily I got some good advice from friends that recommended that I look at ASUS as they felt that they were the best quality in the lower price range.

I was looking for something I could use to read and chat online, work on office documents, and that could handle playing things like The Sims 2. After weeks of research I decided on the ASUS A53E-AS31-RD.

It arrived quickly and in perfect condition. I found it easy to set up, fast, and it runs quietly. I have had no problems using it for anything I need it to do. I do wish it had came with things like word preloaded, but a quick download from OpenOffice.org fixed that.

Over all I find this to be a fast, easy to use machine, and would gladly recommend it to my friends.
