Review: Good laptop for the price - Got this awhile back. Will try to hit everything. Build quality is good. Even though it is totally made of plastic, it doesn't feel or look cheap. It does pick up fingerprints quite easily though. The blue color is gorgeous! Keyboard works well. Not a lot of travel to the keys, and it's not backlit, but it works well. Trackpad is plastic and can be temperamental if you have any kind of liquid on your fingers. Lots of useful shortcuts on the keyboard. Processor, which is the i5-1235u was actually nice. For the price, this machine is dang snappy! Running basic programs is a breeze and some lightweight gaming via Eternium and Legends of Runeterra was smooth and enjoyable. Built in webcam is nothing special but also not horrible. Battery life seems average though I must admit this mostly stays attached to the cord in my bedroom. Battery health is still at 98% after almost a year of ownership with it almost constantly plugged in. SSD is quick and it boots up fast. Was gonna expand the storage and RAM but one of the screws on the bottom casing just does not want to unscrew and might be tightened too much or I ended up stripping it. Not sure which it was. It's not super lightweight but it's not a behemoth. For the $400 I paid for it, can't really complain. Oh, but there is one complaint. The screen. Yes it's big and Full HD but unless you have it angled JUST right it can look rather washed out with poor contrast. At that perfect angle it does indeed look great though

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What would i be buying? in various places, the product has a 500g drive, a 1t drive, an i5 processor, a ryzen processor, and an i9 processor.**
A: This specific model (K513EA-AB54) comes with an Intel® Core™ i5-1135G7 Processor 2.4 GHz (8M Cache, up to 4.2 GHz, 4 cores), 12GB DDR4 and 512GB PCIe SSD.

**Q: Can the ssd storage be upgraded from 512gb to 1tbgb?**
A: Actually, that is the first thing I did. 512K fills up very quickly. It is fairly straightforward - remove the 10 screws holding the base on and carefully pry it off. You may see more payoff than you expect. My Asus came with a very cheap Intel 512K SSD, and the benchmark numbers showed it. I replaced it with another cheap Western Digital 1TB SSD which cost about $100. (WD_BLACK 1TB SN750 SE NVMe) It has no DRAM cache and is pretty much junk. That said, on Crystal Disk Mark the Western Digital looked a lot better than the Intel - all scores were higher except for the 4KiB Q1T1 read and write numbers. Sequential write rates jumped from 980MBs to 16663MBs, and 4KiB Q8T8 Random Read rates jumped from 341MBs up to 1034MBs. Other gains were smaller. So $100 can double your storage and help your speed. I got the 12GB RAM model. For less than $40 right now you can replace the stock Samsung 4GB with a Samsung 8GB module - increasing your RAM by 25%. (8GB is soldered into your motherboard, with one actual RAM slot you can play with.)

**Q: Is the 8gb gpu memory shared with the 12gb total?**
A: No. They are independent memories

**Q: Is this windows 10 home in S mode?**
A: I don't know. I upgraded it to Windows 11 as soon as I got it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid laptop
*by F***S on July 22, 2025*

This laptop is awesome. Boots up quickly and is whisper quiet. I had a large laptop with a 17 inch screen but got tired of that. This form factor is perfect. I have a second monitor if I need more screen real estate.
