To date, the Asus K50C laptop, the characteristics of which we will consider, is no longer available. Yes, and find this model on sale is quite problematic. Unless you were offered to buy used from a hand in good condition.
Iron
So, we are dealing with a laptop eight years ago. You understand that the Asus K50C features so low that it’s hard to imagine.
- Celeron 220 single-core processor with a clock frequency of 1200 MHz. Frankly, such a “brain” was weak not only 8 years ago, but all fifteen. But, making a discount on what we are talking about a laptop, this is pretty good.
- 2 gigabytes of RAM and in addition one more empty slot for another 2 "gigabytes". In total - 4 GB of RAM. Even modern laptops are not always pleased with such a number, what can we say about the Asus K50C. Its characteristics in this regard are beyond praise.
- The laptop uses the integrated SiS Mirage 3+ graphics card, which speaks for itself. Old toys work well, but any other applications that should use 3D graphics (for example, Morrowind) are already slow.
- A 250 GB hard drive for a 2008 computer is pretty good. At one time, it allowed to accommodate most of the text, video and photo information.
Shell
What can be said about the supported Asus K50C software, the characteristics of which we are considering? The Windows 7 operating system was installed on this laptop. What resources the computer should live after this remains a mystery.
In general, drivers for devices are installed without any problems. Even a Wi-Fi network card works stably and does not lose speed due to outdated equipment.
Despite the fact that the video card is built-in, it supports viewing video in HD-resolution up to 720 r, but not all will play smoothly, since there is no support for h.264.
By the way, bad news for those who were going to take this laptop for experimenting with Linux. The network card does not support any of the available versions, which means you cannot use the Internet.
What else can be said about the Asus K50C? His keyboard is slightly smaller than the standard, and the Num 0 key is cut in half. This may be unusual for those who regularly work with numbers. The "fans" of the touchpad should know that it is offset from the center to the left.
If you plan to use a laptop for communication, then a front camera of 0.3 megapixels will be enough for Skype. The only problem is that the laptop should be on a flat surface. Otherwise, the speakers and the microphone may simply overlap.
Destination
So, what could you do with this miracle of technology? In general, this could be a good device for solving office problems. Reinstall XP on it, and it will "fly".
If now, in 2016, they will give you a used model, you can use it for work and typesetting. Designers will not do. You can give it to your child to watch cartoons on the same YouTube or under development programs. At the same time, accustom him to the fact that real equipment must be handled carefully.
In general, if now you are offered to buy this laptop for more than 3-4 thousand rubles, you can safely refuse. As a set of parts, it is useless, since they are outdated, and for a great price it is easier to buy a tablet or e-book for working with text and video. To date, the Asus K50C price is a "package of apples" in gratitude for the gift.
