Overview of the ASUS K52JC laptop

ASUS is one of the leaders in the market for laptops. It takes about 15 percent of the market and shares first place with Acer. The ASUS catalog has a huge number of laptop models: from the cheapest and uncomplicated to premium-class devices with all the attendant features. But there is also a so-called middle class of devices. One of its representatives is a good laptop model K52JC.

Everyday use

The laptop was released more than six years ago, but still it can be considered a good working device. Naturally, its power is not enough to cope with some demanding modern software. Nevertheless, for everyday tasks, it is perfect.

Device Features

Lapotope ASUS K52JC features the following:

• With the office applications, the device is helped to cope with the Intel Pentium-based P6100 processor running at 2000 Hz, as well as the LPDDR3 memory, which is 4 GB in size. In addition, the amount of RAM can be doubled. The design of the laptop allows it to be done without problems. You can choose the model of the processor. Earlier, the laptop was made in three trim levels: with a Core i3, Core i5, and Pentium chipset.
• For graphic processing of processes in the ASUS K52JC , a discrete graphics card manufactured by NVIDIA GeForce 310M series with its own memory of 1 gigabyte is responsible.
• All information is displayed on a 15.6-inch display with a TFT-matrix and with a standard WXGA-resolution, that is 1366 x 768 pixels.
• When the battery is fully charged, the ASUS K52JC, according to the manufacturer, can work autonomously for 4 hours. But in fact, this figure is slightly less, especially if we consider that different applications consume a different amount of energy. The volume of the battery, by the way, is 4400 mAh.
• ASUS K25JC comes with a 320 GB hard drive with SATA interface.

Performance tests

All this "iron" is enough to easily play in GTA IV at medium settings. At the maximum, sagging and lags begin to appear. We can say with confidence that ASUS K52JC will not work for a modern gamer, but for a student or office worker it will be just right. However, students have different requests: there are a lot of programs for modeling or for working with graphics (for example, you do not need to go far: Adobe products), consuming a large amount of resources, which on this laptop simply does not exist.

Appearance

Design ASUS K52JC - subjective aspect of the assessment, but in general, we can say that it is not bad. And with this it's hard not to agree: a minimalistic, glossy case in black clearly pleases the eye. Another thing is that this case is not practical: it perfectly collects fingerprints. And someone can say that this is not a problem, because there are special napkins, but to bring the laptop in order after each use is obviously a dubious pleasure.

ASUS K52JC has long been removed from production, and on the shelves of retail outlets and online stores, new models are unlikely to be found. Nevertheless, you can buy a second-hand option. In this there is nothing wrong, especially when you consider that ASUS notebooks with proper care do not break down for a couple of years and can serve faithfully and truthfully to their owner for a long time. The average price on the secondary market of this model is about 18 thousand rubles (with Core i3), which, in general, is not so expensive.

Engineers-developers built in a laptop a lot of connectors. The MacBook problem (2016) for ASUS is irrelevant: what is the only DVD-drive that supports the RW-format. In addition, there is a slot for SD memory card, as well as HDMI and VGA connectors, plus several USB connectors, of course, not in the 3.0 format (high data transfer rates should not be expected). Supported ways to transfer data Wi-Fi 802 bands 11g and 11n and Bluetooth. The latter, however, is optional. There is no question of LTE-networks. After all, more than 5 years have passed since the release. When the laptop went to the market, high-speed networks only began to gain momentum.

What was the laptop from ASUS?

In the end, it turns out that engineers and marketers ASUS released a few years ago on the market a good laptop that meets the needs of users and can remain relevant even to this day, when more than one generation of processors has changed, memory formats have changed and the attitude of producers to this segment has changed on the whole Devices.

For example, Apple and other companies are trying to store information in cloud services. This concept allows them to systematically get rid of a large number of unnecessary connectors in laptops. True, in Cupertino it was done somehow too radically, leaving only one USB-C in the MacBook. Although no one has earned money on adapters for anyone, especially in the case of Apple.

Is it possible to buy ASUS K52JC as the main working machine? The question is controversial. Approximately 20 thousand rubles now you can find models that are in no way inferior to ASUS, other manufacturers. The main thing that will distinguish them is their novelty. And it often gives a guarantee that the device will not break on the third day after purchase. Although there are all kinds. Nevertheless, the warranty for used devices does not apply. Therefore, the purchase will be carried out on the user's fear and rice.
