Asus K510UQ-BQ667T User Reviews and Ratings

Those wondering where is the 'Verified Purchase' for this review: I bought this notebook from elsewhere and I am writing this review because there were no reviews when I was browsing for reviews here. Hope this write-up will help buyers in taking better decisions. Please comment below your queries about this notebook, if any, I will be happy to answer them.This notebook is well built (though with a poly carbonate body and faux metallic look), light in weight and smaller in form factor than a normal 15.6" screen laptop. It's design is definitely inspired from the Macbooks. The display is the selling point of the laptop and I must say Asus has given a really good, bright, 1080p display (even I chose this Laptop over other models/brands because of the display). It's sharp enough, colors are accurate (it covers a good range of sRGB color spectrum), the angles are good, there is no reflection. Browsing and coding becomes much easier. The feel you get from the display is great.About performance, it's just fine, the 4 core & 8 thread i5 CPU is limited by the slower read & write speeds of the 5400 rpm HDD. I believe the system will be more snappier if the OS is loaded in a SSD. This is quite significant and a problem faced by many, were they see the system lagging or hanging due to the heavy writes the preinstalled Asus bloatware does on start up. The only game I tried was GTA V, just to push the CPU and GPU to extremes, it was quite a good experience on the default graphics settings for the game. The fan noise is not so much, it's so quite during normal operation that you can't hear it even with your ears so close to the vents. Performance during gaming is fine even running on battery (battery drains sharply) and then fan noise can be perceived. Although the CPU and the GPU share the same heat pipe and a single fan and radiator, when I ran the AIDA64 CPU and GPU stress test together for about 30 mins, both of them never throttled and the temperatures stayed around 70�C (CPU) and 80+�C (GPU). The keyboard is not good for gaming. For further info, check YouTube to see what the 940MX can play, there are lots of videos.Battery life: Although I didn't have a consistent use, after about four weeks of use, the battery life seems to be okay or maybe above average(4 hour is achievable with a mixed use). '8 hour battery life', as advertised is just unreal for a 42Wh battery capacity.Speakers are okay. I keep them at the highest volume level most of the time. Nothing much to say here, the quality is above average.Keyboard and touchpad: The chiclet keyboard has a nice feel to type once you get used to it. However there is an observable keyboard flex that'll come up when you do some heavy key presses. I must say that I have used better notebook keyboards than this one. Touch pad is good.Camera: I really don't care about the quality of laptop cameras, I guess they all are bad. This one too has a poor camera that is only intended for online video calls.You can go ahead with this notebook if you are on a tighter budget and cannot afford the Vivobook S15 that is priced about 9-10k more. You will lose the Nvidia MX150 graphics, metallic (or metal finish?) chassis, back-lit keyboard and fingerprint scanner, but hey, use that 10k you saved to upgrade RAM and add a M.2 SSD (there are slots inside). From the design and I/O capabilities, both of them are the same.Some details I found worth mentioning:1. Comes with a single 8GB DDR4 RAM running at 2400MHz installed. There is one slot free.2. Comes with 2GB of 64 bit GDDR5 memory for the 940MX (confirmed with GPU-Z) which some sites incorrectly list as DDR3.3. The pre-installed Windows 10 version is 64-bit Home Single Language (Language: US English) with a lifelong digital license and there is no free MS Office.4. All driver setup files are present in the hard disk, so one doesn't need to download them (except for graphics drivers which should be periodically updated, not necessary though).5. The notebook has a lot of bloatware and trial ware with the pre-installed Windows 10, and the whole 1TB drive is in single partition, so I suggest to do a clean Windows 10 install and customize app installations for max performance.6. You only get a charger/power adapter with the laptop. Somewhere it is mentioned that we will get USB to LAN and mini HDMI to HDMI dongles in the box, no you don't.7. Battery charging is fast, just as Asus claims, I found the battery charged from 22% to 80% in 50 minutes.8. The warranty is for 24 months or 2 years.9. The motherboard model is X510UQR, so the laptop is capable of RAM and SSD (M.2 SATA) upgrade. There are YouTube videos of how to open the bottom cover and reach these slots. I have opened and seen these ports in my laptop. Check pics below.10. The annoying things are: there is no visible indication to know if Caps lock is turned on or off. I wonder how Asus missed to add a led there. But there is a workaround for this con: You can set a Beep tone in Control Panel>Ease of Access settings in Windows 10. Whenever you turn on Capslock, a beep tone plays and when you turn off another beep tone plays.And the USB type A ports are as 2 USB 2.0 and 1 USB 3.0 port, should've been definitely the other way for a laptop in this price. Why more USB 2.0 when USB 3.0 is much better and also backwards compatible with USB 2.0? Such a bummer Asus.Thanks for reading!P. S.: I have seen people complaining about the Laptop being hanging or processor clockspeed is 1.6GHz (base clock). Hanging: Well, yeah, Asus has loaded a lot of not-good-for-anything softwares with the Win 10. Just Uninstall them from Control Panel. Use your brain people, find out what App is slowing down your system by checking Disk Usage in Task Manager and uninstall/stop them. Disable useless apps from running during start up. These problems aren't brand specific, many brands do load some bloatware with the OS. It's sad, but a user must know that and get rid of them. And to get the max performance, change to a SSD.Base Clock of 1.6GHz: With 8th gen mobile i5 CPUs, Intel doubled the Core/Thread count from what the 7th gen i5s had. Because of more cores, a lower clock speed can achieve the performance of a lower core count CPU. Chip design principle is that higher clock means for more power usage (or wastage as heat). Now these devices are meant to be power efficient for running on battery, so the base clock speed is reduced so that more power isn't used in a idle state. Would be better if people try to understand something technical before thinking it as something wrong.

very good notebook.super Full HD display.very lightweight.good packing by ASUS.very satisfied with this notebook.

Good.

It's 4.5,Reason: price and specifications complement each other.I got it for 45.5k from another website, but for 50k also, it's not a bad deal.This laptop gives u a flexibility to customize ur laptop. I will add another SSD of 128gb 4k and 8gb ram 3-4k. In short if u want a powerful laptop for less than 55k , it's the best option.

A very good laptop with decent specs. The laptop was zippy for me from day one. If it's not fast for you you may have to reset windows 10. Windows 10 can sometimes cause problems. i5 8250 u is one of the fastest laptop processors in the market. The built quality of the laptop is good. Asus is renowned for quality. I am slightly dissatisfied with the laptop color. I didn't have any other choice. Anyway, this is definitely a worthy laptop to buy..

Install ssd, best laptop in this price

Best laptop

Product was same as I booked its original thanks for giving

very good product!

These laptop is a best for gaming,screen quality, and battery life and is very fast charging also

Gifted it to my cousin and he loved it

Best laptop in lightweight segment

Good product bought it from another site. Brilliant screen has nano bezels, great colour reproduction. Processor is great, i5 8th gen. Just uninstall the McAfee antivirus shipped with the laptop. You won't get a better deal at this price. Nvidia graphics settings can be changed by going into the nvidia control panel which allows great gaming. Laptop is lightweight and very slim.

It is working well.

works very well

Awesome laptop

Iam using this laptop for 3 months , it's performance is awesome ! I can play all the high end games without lag and moreover video editting is also very much sublime!!

very very good laptop and awesome look as well as its slim

Based on my 2 week experience:Well balanced between looks and performance. Initially it was taking a lot of time for booting up but after removing bloatwares, that can be better. Perfect looks and performance.Weightis very much satisfactory. I've use adobe illustrator and photoshop with ease. Basic works like MS Office etc. would be cake walk for it. Not very satisfied with the keyboard. The way the keys presses, it just doesn't feel right. Except keyboard, it is well balanced between beauty and the beast. The best looks with performance under 50k.Pros:LooksPerformanceFHD display (helpful if you are a coder or in graphics)Light WeightFan for air exhaust is placed between hinges for lesser heat.Battery charges fast.Cons:Keyboard experience is not satisfactory.No caps lock light.that's it.Apart from some minor cons... it is the best laptop in 50k budget.

Guys.. you can trust me... It's the best laptop with i5 8th generation... It's too slim. And Pretty.. I bought this lap from 3G Digital World,Payyannur,Kerala for 50000 with Laptop bag. For the budget of 50 thousand.. it's best

Package didn't have cables as promised on website otherwise very good packaged and timely delivery ! Battery span for continuously use is approx 4.5-5 hours. Display and Graphics are good at this price tag. Nice keyboad and touch pad ! If you are a programmer or gamer having budget around 50K this is the laptop to go for !! Cheers :)

A very well balanced package for the price. You're getting similar looks and feel of the 64k counterpart(S15) as well as performance at 50k. The system tends to heat up quite a bit on medium to heavy use, but not unbearable. the battery life also isnt the best.. 4 to 5hrs of casual use. If youre looking for gaming, its definitely not the worst.. again apart from the heating up and battery life problem, it can handle mediocre games pretty well. display is better than i expected too. If only the battery were bigger for a higher price, i could easily recommend it to anyone.

I have bought this laptop from another site for 49k+3k cash back this laptop has best display in budget laptop section so if you are looking for a laptop for surfing internet, coding and other media consumption you will definitely love this one and the battery life is good compared to other laptop at this price range. Coming to the cons of this laptop as other reviewers also said the typing experience you get from this laptop is very mediocre. I haven't played any game in this so I am not sure but I would recommend you if you can spend more buy a laptop having nvidia geforce mx150 like Asus S510UN-BQ217T it also comes with fingerprint scanned and backlit keyboard . If would have been good if this laptop comes a ssd also for this high performance processor

Gaming is good enough for an under 50k laptop. Nice battery backup and quick charging. Sound is a bit less but you can always use an earphone or use VLC for watching movies. Lacks dvd player but doesn't matter for me. Windows 10 has a lifetime license so easy to update and better protection. Lightweight and sleek. All in all maybe the best laptop under 50k range.

Over all products is amazing. Battery life is considererate. But windows 10 in this PC comes with lot of bloatware which causes PC to load slowly at startup.. Also I am unable to register my product at Asus website

Pros:1) Good Performance.2) Lightweight.3) Good Quality Display.4) Charges Really Really Fast.5) Decent For Gaming.6) Very High Wifi Speed.Cons:1)Average Battery Life.(Max 4-5 hrs).2)Heats Up While Heavy Gaming.(As It Is Very Thin.)3)Average Speaker Output.(Also Not Loud)4) No Disk Drive.I Bought It Offline At Rs.49000. Value For Money Only If Its Less Than 50k.

Sturdy, Great look and design, quite competitive.. this was the best and cheapest with the configuration in the market.. really happy with the productAlso, Order this Laptop from vqr .in/134 and Get 10% Discount + 6 Month Extended WarrantyHope this helps!

Very good

I bought this laptop yesterday.iam reviewing this based on one day usage . Pros: Light weight. Premium built quality. Nano edge anti-glare display which is outstanding in any viewing angle. Awesome touch pad and keypad. Nividia 940mx . Good performance not pushed to extereme yet. No heating issue up to now. Fast-charging works pretty well 65 percent within 45 mins. Cons: Battery stands up to 4-5hr only but they claim up to 8hrs. No backlit keyboard and fingerprint sensor. No SSD ,so booting and shutdown time is relatively high and app launch is also relatively slow. So,I'm sure that it is a Best laptop for day to day normal usage, programming and moderate graphics games . This laptop not meant for extereme performance and gaming.

product is very good ..but delay delivery for this product to me.
