Intro
The laptop from my grandfather has long been very slow and I have advised him quite a few times to buy a new laptop. The laptop hardware is just too old and too slow after 8 years. 's old laptop had a 15.4 "1280x800 display, an Intel Celeron processor, 1GB of RAM and if OS Windows XP. After more than 10 years of support to the (potential) vulnerabilities from April 8, 2014 not corrected. Viewed in this way, it is really time to move on to a new OS. The screen also was something bigger, further, it was also important that the laptop was a whole lot faster., the price had not too crazy. His demands I started looking for laptops up to € 600. I wrote this review while waiting for the updates, programs, etc. were installed. Requirements I eventually came out with the Asus R704A-TY237H the following filter: - At least 17 "screen - At least 5400 RPM 500GB HDD - Minimum 4GB RAM - 3rd generation Intel processor , the integrated graphics of Ivy Bridge processors draw graphics tasks my grandfather's fine. A dedicated GPU was not needed and I wanted to prefer even avoid it altogether. Shame to have to pay for when it is not needed. resolution was not very important since the scaling still going up. Nowadays, the minimum resolution of 17 "1600x900 laptops in this price range and it works fine. Moreover, every Ivy Bridge laptop also called a multi-touch touchpad, WLAN, Ethernet port, USB 3.0, HDMI, VGA, etc. So that's all it well. I have had good experiences with Asus N56VZ laptop, so Asus is preferred if it belongs to the results. The Asus R704A-TY237h was in these results and had great specs for the price of € 498. I also quite soon the idea that this laptop was going to be. Specifications: OS: Windows 8 Processor: Intel Core i3 3110M@2.4Ghz Memory: 6GB 1600 MHz RAM Storage: 500GB 5400RPM Display: 17.3 "1600x900 LED Dimensions: 282mm x 420mm x 36.6mm (length x width x height) Weight: 3kg Battery Capacity: 47 Wh Setup Out of the box there should be a first for Windows 8 Microsoft account are linked. I then immediately converted to a local account with no password. Asus There are a reasonable number of programs, but a lot does have utility. However, there are a number of unnecessary programs pre-installed such as McAfee and Office trial. Some Asus programs that I have no need: ASUS Splendid Video Enhancement Technology, ASUSDVD, ASUS WebStorage Sync Agent, etc. There are many better alternatives, and many people - including my grandfather - these programs are not necessary. There are also a number of games from Wild Tangent installed: Azteca, Bejeweled 3, Cut the Rope, and three others. So who can immediately again. I started to remove some bloatware and then started the entry of 82 updates. It takes about 75 minutes to install and configure them all. After these updates were installed, it was possible to upgrade to Windows 8.1. During the download of Windows 8.1, I started installing some programs, such as a PDF reader, Java and Office 2007. The laptop stays pretty quiet while performing these tasks. Start menu Windows 8.1 brings the start button again, but not with the same functionality as in previous versions of Windows. I think it's working fine and I since day one user of Windows 8. My grandfather works but with a few programs, and these are all on the desktop. The start button is not used as much. If he needs a program which can not he find it easy to search through the charm bar on the desktop. I think it will take some getting used to him with gestures, but that should be fine. Usage After Windows 8.1 and some programs there were, I used the laptop for a while. The speed of the laptop is fine, but I have my desktop / laptop SSD and the difference you make of course. The touchpad is nice and the gestures also work well. The keyboard takes getting used to but works fine. Yet the layout better. On a 17 "laptop you have quite a lot of space, but the spacing between keys is not too big. , the laptop looks otherwise fine, but everything is made of plastic. You get no premium feel with this laptop, but was not expected for € 500. hardware works fine and that is what matters in the end. R704a-TY237H The Asus is a great laptop for normal users. Taken as Office, browsing and email is fine. With the Intel 4000 graphics can be fine some games, but is not suitable for heavier games., but games from the Windows Store or as Facebook games he pulls with ease. My grandfather works with a mouse and is right handed. All three USB ports on the left side so that is not very handy with a wired mouse. The battery life is fine for a laptop of this caliber, with normal use, you can get to me. around 4 pm I think most people buy a 17 "laptop as a desktop replacement and have power have at hand. If you do not have one you can at least a few hours work. 's power is very small, saves a factor of 4 to the power of my previous Asus laptop. This is partly explained because the CPU is quite economical and no dedicated GPU in it. But fortunately there is also progress in the efficiency of the adapters. resolution of 1600x900 is also fine. I think most people find it easy to work on a 17 "screen. HD is still fast little on the small side with 100% scaling. Scaling in Windows 8.1 is a lot better than Windows 8 so in itself is a higher resolution beautiful. But in this price range do you think the future is not expected. If you have a 17 "laptop looking for around € 500 I can definitely recommend this laptop
