Laptop Asus K50C: specifications

To date, the laptop Asus K50C, whose characteristics we will consider, is no longer available. Yes, and find this model on sale is quite problematic. Is that you were offered to buy used with hands in good condition.

Iron

So, we are dealing with a laptop eight years ago. You understand that the Asus K50C's specifications are so low that it's hard to imagine.

• The single-core processor series Celeron 220 with a clock speed of 1200 MHz. Quite frankly, such a "brain" was weak not that 8 years ago, but all fifteen. But by making a discount on what we are talking about the laptop, it's pretty good.
• 2 gigabytes of RAM and in addition one more empty slot for another 2 "giga". In total - 4 GB of RAM. So much of us are not always pleased with even modern laptops, what can we say about the Asus K50C. His characteristics in this regard are beyond praise.
• The laptop uses the built-in SiS Mirage 3+ graphics card, which speaks for itself. Old toys work well, but any other applications that should use 3D graphics (for example, "Morrowind"), already slow down.
• A 250 GB hard drive for a 2008 computer is very good. At one time, he allowed to accommodate most of the text, video and photo information.

Shell

What about the supported Asus K50C software, the characteristics of which we are considering? On this laptop was installed operating system Windows 7. On what resources should live after this computer, remains a mystery.

In general, drivers for devices are installed without any problems. Even the network card with wai-fay works stably and does not lose speed due to outdated equipment.

Despite the fact that the video card is built-in, it supports viewing video in HD-resolution up to 720 p, but not all will play smoothly, since there is no support for h.264.

By the way, bad news for those who were going to take this laptop for experiments with Linux. The network card does not support any of the available versions, which means that you can not use the Internet.

What else can you say about the Asus K50C? The keyboard is slightly smaller than the standard keyboard, and the Num 0 key is truncated twice. This may be unusual for those who regularly work with numbers. "Fans" of the touchpad should be aware that it is shifted from the center to the left.

If you plan to use a laptop for communication, then a front camera of 0.3 megapixels will be quite enough for "Skype". The only problem is that the laptop should stand on a flat surface. Otherwise, the speakers and microphone may simply overlap.

Purpose

So, what would you do with this miracle of technology? In general, this could be a good device for solving office tasks. Reinstall XP on it, and it will "fly".

If now, in 2016, you will be given a used model, you can use it for work and text sets. Designers it does not fit. You can give it to your child to watch cartoons on the same "Youtube" or under development programs. At the same time, accustom him to the fact that with real technology you have to handle carefully.

In general, if you are now offered to buy this laptop more than 3-4 thousand rubles, you can safely refuse. As a set of parts it is useless, as they are obsolete, and for a greater price it's easier to buy a tablet or an e-book to work with text and video. To date, the Asus K50C price - a "package of apples" in gratitude for the gift.
