Great ASUS A53U-AS22 15.6-Inch Laptop (Mocha) for young teen, or anyone, really

Featuring the AMD Fusion E-450 mobile media processor with the ATI Radeon HD 6320G graphics, the ASUS A53U-AS22 notebook easily handles multitasking and entertainment on its brilliant 15.6" LED-backlit HD display. HDMI ready, you may supersize your high-definition media to an HDTV for up to 1080p visuals and 8 channel surround sound. The A53U-AS22 is also engineered with ASUS IceCool technology with hairline brushed aluminum to maintain a low temperature on the keyboard and palm rest area for comfortable computing even after prolonged use.

The boot up speed is just fine, and this is my first experience with windows 7 works and it fine.

Pros:

• It looks great! It has a distinctive mocha case with a nice detail on it. And, no it's not as light as the MacBook Air or something, but is easy to handle, travels well and looks sleek.
• The screen is solid and is a nice size.
• The laptop runs very, very, cool. I don't think that mine has even warmed up a bit.
• Windows 7 looks great on this laptop.
• ASUS has some interesting programs (crapware- but not that crappy).
• I can run MS Office programs, Google Chrome, IE, VPN access my work computer, edit web pages and listen to Pandora at once just fine (occasionally the Pandora skips, but that just might be the connection).

Cons:

• The keyboard takes some getting used to. . . it's very wide, I tend to favor the buttons on the left and some of the command buttons are in areas I did not expect- and on the way right. With that said, it's a little annoying but easily solvable (I just look down more when I am typing).
• The speakers are really not that good. But not a big deal for me because I mostly use this laptop for general home use (to finish projects from work, catch up on volunteer stuff and to check email and my FB). With that said, if I ever felt the need to watch movies or TV shows on it or something, I would just plug in speakers.

Customer Reviews On Amazon.com : Great laptop for young teen, or anyone, really

I was on a tight budget but really wanted my 13 year-old to have his own laptop for school assignments and playing games. This one fit my budget and his needs perfectly. I considered getting him a netbook, but for this price, the laptop has everything he needs and lots more storage and features than a netbook. The full version of Windows, processor speed, and a usable version of Word (not just a "sample" version like my old Compaq laptop came with) were features we liked. I was very impressed with the multi-touch features of the mouse touchpad, which take a little getting used to, but are really cool. So far, my son is mostly using it to play Minecraft, but the school year is young and parental hope springs eternal that he'll get good use out of it for school assignments and projects for several years to come. For the price, I think it's a really good buy. He gives it 2 thumbs up...Read More
