Asus X53E-SX996V

Got this as a workstation to run virtual machines and very intensive applications. Replaced the Hard disk with a 120GB SSD and the RAM with 16GB (2*8GB) it absolutely flies! The hard disk I took out was placed in a £5 USB3 caddy and it's the perfect...

Core i7 at the given price is really a good thing.

I was very pleased to get an i7 quad core processor on a notebook at this price, and the rest of the hardware is pretty good too. Only real downside is that the keyboad feels quite flexy and the hard drive is a little small at 320gb.

I have had this laptop for a day now and it is the best laptop i've seen in ages! Very fast I7 (says 2.7ghz but it is 3.10ghz with intel turbo boost) and good memory! definetely reccomended!

I've only had this laptop a matter of hours but just wanted to point out a few things.
