Unboxing Asus X555L Laptop


Mommy’s ultimate Christmas wish last year is to have her own laptop. She had already picked a model, but we choose to get a TV first. Since it has been a year since we have our TV, I think it is okay to grant Mommy’s ultimate wish since she receives a lot of online opportunities.

Last week, I asked if she still wants the laptop she saw in Abenson. She answered without hesitation a big “YES”.

Here are some information about Mommy’s Asus X555L laptop.




The laptop has great with features like 1TB storage (divided into C and D), 4GB RAM, 2GB Video Card, windows 10 operating system and an Intel core i3 processor. Please don’t ask me about this features for I am not a techie person but with this features, I think it is already more than enough.

It has three ports for thumb drive or USB, a VGA and HDMI ports, memory card slot and optical disk drive.

It has a wide screen of 15.6 inches (diagonal) making viewing movies more enjoyable.

The numerical keys are already separated making it easier to type numbers. Also, the keys are ergonomically designed which provides 1.8mm of key travel and minimal key float giving you more solid typing experience.

Though it has a Zen-inspired finish for an elegant and metallic look, this seems to be a slight disadvantage for me because fingerprints and scratches are more noticeable. Frequent wiping can remove the fingerprints, though.

Anyway, here are the other features that might catch your interest and you may include Asus X555L in the models to be considered in buying a new laptop.
