As mentioned elsewhere, after two failed and way more expensive forays into the Windows ecosystem, I lost faith in Windows as the device I purchased in 2008 running Windows Vista was brutal, the replacement device originally running Windows 8.0/8.1 and afterwards Windows 10 never seemed to click with the machine, and I was never able to utilize the Windows 10 OS without a glitch here and there, so being that I had nearly everything Apple, I purchased a MacBook two years ago and it runs like a charm for all the rest of my devices.Yet despite that there are many programs that I use that would need to be better used on a Windows device and here in plays the Asus X555qa Laptop, there’s nothing overtly special about it, though it has a 8GB DDR4 Processor and 128GB of internal storage which is plenty enough for the many apps that one would use on daily basis, light enough since it’s lacking a optical drive and being that it’s a Solid State Drive, you don’t have to worry about the machine heating up and causing discomfort to your skin. The speakers and the display is better than average and with three USB, Ethernet and HDMI ports linking the machine to a smart television is quite easy.Being that the ASUS X555qa is a budget device, there can be a bit cheap less sturdy feel to the device yet it runs quite smooth and makes running Windows 10 a better experience.I would truly recommend this device for purchase, as it has restored my faith in Windows.
