ASUS K55N-DS81 still good?

[Lachlan]

The ASUS K55N-DS81 has a AMD A8-4500M APU at 1.9GHz and a 2.8 GH boost. This laptop is pretty old but for $370 it looks pretty good to me.

I only want this laptop for watching movies and playing some light games, mainly Garry's mod and some skyrim. I don;t really care at what settings they run at as long as they run at a decent frame rate.

I have no bias toward intel, nvidia or amd so thats not a problem for me 

if anybody could suggest something newer that would be greeat

Are you on a budget?

[Paralectic]

In terms of build quality, it's poor ( I have the same display and laptop case, the touchpad got off and the screen is just cheap )

But it will be good enough for some movies watching and Garrys Mod, Skyrim won't run good on it but meh.

For basic use and some light games it will be fine but don't expect too much of power from this laptop.

I don't really want to spend anymore then $500 for something to play Gmod on

The one i'm looking at buying has actually had the screen replaced with a Samsung one so it might be better

 

How bad do you think Skyrim would be. I can put up with low settings at 30fps but anything less then that I'd rather play with a rock

[Lachlan]

Yes except for the windows 8

 

Hahaha OS doesn't mater I have windows 7 on a usb  although I would actually like to try windows 8

Hahaha OS doesn't mater I have windows 7 on a usb

never mind

[Lachlan]

It may or may not be a legit copy

[Lachlan]

So I just bought the laptop for $350 AUD Will probably post what I think and if it is any good or not
