5.0 out of 5 stars Exclellent VFM 16 Jan 2014
Style Name:Intel Core i3|Verified Purchase
For the money, this has to be one of the best low-priced laptops around. It's been in use for two months now, and has performed flawlessly. It's quite lightweight, charges fast, runs fast, shuts down and starts up fast, and generally does everything needed. The i3 processor and memory combo is more than man enough for everyday use, while the 15.6" screen is really crisp and sharp. As far as I'm concerned, it was a brilliant buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very good Laptop 15 Mar 2014
Style Name:Intel Core i3|Verified Purchase
I have this laptop less than a week and I'm very happy with it. It's a I3 processor, 500 GB HDD and 4GB ram enough for multimedia and net surf. Windows 8 I believe it is a great OS, if you know "windows" there's no problems using this one as well. In the first 24 hours I had to update windows until 8.1, after that I was installing my favourite programs, uninstalling unwanted programs and now is running smooth and fast.

Pro:
- very good ratio quality vs price.
- W 8.1
- decent minimum hardware

Cons:
- it doesn't do espresso...
- it doesn't do laundry...

If you are a professional user of software you would not buy this laptop, but if you use this laptop for normal web surf, communication and multimedia you can't complain about this computer.!

Edit:
I run this laptop for more than 10 days now and I'm still happy with it. No problems at all!

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent bang per buck value laptop 29 April 2014
By Mr Baz TOP 50 REVIEWER
Style Name:Intel Celeron
Do take note of the CPU options though.
The Celeron N2815 which runs at 1.5GHz is quite different to the Core i3 3217U 1.8GHz, not just in terms of clock speed but performance.

The Core i3 being quite a bit faster than the Celeron in real world use (hence the price difference see benchmark below)
The core specification is fairly straightforward with enough memory and hard drive space for most users.

A quick fire list of pros and cons

Pros:
+ Great value (esp the Celeron option)
+ 15.6" 1366x768 screen is quite good and contrasty easy to read and sharp (better than you expect for the price)
+ 4GB ram and 500GB hard drive is more than sufficient for most users needs even if you have quite a lot of media files around
+ One USB port is the faster USB 3.0
+ Built in SD Card Reader, as well as Wired Lan port and HDMI out
+ Webcam with Microphone built in (not the best webcam in low light but it's fine for this price with decent resolution)
+ Keyboard and touchpad are satisfactory, good response on the trackpad and the keys are of the enclosed type (harder for small children to rip them off!)
+ DVD/CD Burner 8x and 24x should satisfy any media playback/burning needs

Cons:
- Build is fine but clearly it has had some cost cutting in terms of quality of plastics (not unexpected) it's ok though with a decent enough texturing on the plastics
- Could use a few more USB ports (only 2 but that might be enough)
- VGA port is mostly redundant these days (HDMI is used mosly)
- Basic sound quality from the onboard speakers, ok for the intended market (use the headphones much better)

Expect around 3.

3.0 out of 5 stars Asus X551CA 15.6 Laptop 26 April 2014
Style Name:Intel Core i3|Verified Purchase
Very disappointed with the build quality... it feels cheap and nasty and marks easily compared to my other 3 year old ASUS laptop. Otherwise it has windows 8 which I will no doubt have to get used to. Performance and speed are good as is the clarity of the screen. 3 stars because of the build quality!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great value for money 28 April 2014
Style Name:Intel Celeron|Verified Purchase
Great bright screen, nice and light, very versatile and overall I am very happy with it.

I went for the cheaper Intel Celeron and got it directly from Amazon for �250.

Overall I think it is a very good balance of lightness, performance, portability and build quality, especially for the price.
