About the ASUS X44LY-VX016V EOL - (Price $598.00)
The X44LY may be low-end by allrounder standards, but the very low price still makes it a seriously worthwhile option.
For $598 the 14in ASUS X44LY-VX016V is a low-end allrounder that that's almost as cheap as a basic notebook with the same processor. What it does have is a 2nd Gen Intel Core i3 and a low-end dedicated graphics card, which is at least enough for a good variety of demanding programs even if tasks like gaming aren’t really possible.
What the X44LY specifically has is a 2nd Gen Intel Core i3-2310M (2.1GHz), a low-end but still gutsy processor that together with 4GB of RAM allows for a good amount of smooth multi-tasking. Unfortunately the dedicated graphics card is only an AMD Radeon HD 6470M, and even for the low price it’s not really as powerful as we’d hope for.
For storage the X44LY has a 500GB hard disk drive, which is reasonable for a low-end allrounder. It is also fairly light at 2.44kg, which is probably a result of the smaller than average 14in (1,366x768 resolution) screen.
This notebook is pretty good in terms of specifications and price. It's not the best we've seen, but it's not bad either.
