ASUS K550 (F550) in-depth review

And yet another budget notebook that's aimed for gaming was in our lab - ASUS K550JX. At first glance of the specs sheet, it can easily be mistaken with the old version of GL552, which we reviewed a few months back. But besides the CPU and GPU, from design to hardware, both notebooks are totally different. Of course, with a price difference of €100, the K500JX compromises in screen quality and keyboard backlight., but the gap should have been filled after the GL552 became more expensive with better hardware.However, we are not here to talk about the difference between the old GL552 and t[...]

Pros

  • The keyboard seems more than fine (despite the absence of LED backlight)
  • Responsive touchpad, but with a bit stiff right and left mouse buttons
  • No PWM across all brightness levels
  • Pretty powerful hardware, that's suitable even for gaming, at a decent price
  • The cooling system provides the much-needed comfort to the user during heavy load

Cons

  • Small inconsistencies with the build quality and the whole surface attracts fingerprints and smudges
  • No keyboard LED backlight
