ASUS X551MAV Laptop Unboxing Review - Laptop for Minecraft & Skyrim Gaming? - Laptop for School
Here's my video tutorial review on a laptop for college for students who want cheap but solid performance. Expect 20-40 fps for Minecraft gaming and other middle of the ground games. This is my ASUS X551MAV HCL1201E review/preview video. Watch the ASUS X551M Laptop being unboxed and see from the outside in what this low cost ASUS Laptop looks like up close. This is one of my favorite go to laptops that I use for just about everything I do. Nice bright clear display and plenty of speed with its Celeron N2840 dual core 2.6 turbo boost processor technology from Intel. Apps like Microsoft Office runs smooth as silk and with quick performance from this cheap laptop. For your convenience here's the link to this video: https://youtu.be/Gz4eWPC_FRA The Asus X551mav, is a full size 15.6" laptop with 4Gb of DDR 1333 RAM/Memory, HDMI port, USB 2.0 & USB 3.0, SD Card Reader, DVD Recorder/Player and a 500 Gb hard drive that run at 5400rpm. This model has a full size keyboard, with a large mouse pad that works perfectly. It's fast and responsive in gestures, zooming and panning in apps and on web pages that support these features. The Intel Celeron N2840 is a power efficient 2 thread 2.16ghz dual-core SoC (System on a Chip). This means it's a single chip for both CPU and Graphics (embedded Intel HD GPU. CPU clock speeds up to 2.58 GHz in turbo speed mode and is on a Bay Trail-M platform design. The Intel HD GPU has a base frequency of 311MHz, but turbos up to 792MHz when running heavy graphic loads - such as gaming - Skyrim & Minecraft . This makes for a good but light N2840 gaming laptop. A great feature in this low cost laptop that I like is the built-in HD webcam that makes it easy to Skype® with family and friends. Or even office videoconferencing with co-workers or your boss from home. On most low end laptops you would never see a built-in webcam in a laptop that can be had for under $250.00. Can this laptop be use for a gaming PC? Yes, this laptop PC can be used for some very nice light to mid gaming fun like Minecraft, Call of Duty and League of Legends. Just about any old retro game and lots of newer games too. Nothing heavy duty though because it is only a light - mid weight Laptop. BTW according to what I read this was one of the top selling laptops in 2014 and still is in 2015 so far. No wonder...have you seen the spec's and price. Hard to walk away from if you ask me. This very likable ASUS X551MAV laptop is a low cost light gaming computer for just about anyone. However, be sure to realize that your fps will be 20-40 gaming fps. This is not a top of the line gaming laptop and is not meant to be! The ASUS X551MAV-HCL1201E is a 15.6" Windows 8.1 laptop that can handle 1080p HDMI video with ease. It is also Windows 10 ready. It connects to my RCA 40" flat screen TV with ease. Performance was excellent for a $229.00 laptop from Walmart. Also keep in mind that a CPU upgrade for ASUS x551m laptop is not possible without replacing the motherboard.
