Asus is a good brand and is doing well in the market nowadays. I gifted this laptop to my father and he likes it. He was using a computer previously hence he says laptop gives him to work comfortably. It is an user friendly offcouse. Asus R558UR is a 6th generation laptop. It is Intel I5 core processor. It has Windows 10 which is a plus point. The laptop is not too heavy yet not too light in weight. But it is comfortable to use and storage capacity is also not that bad. I feel that this is one of the good laptops for the starters. Well, my father is using it and he doesnot complain. My dad is managing well hence I can’t complain too. When you are gifting to anyone it is one of the greatest worry how the person feels about the present! Thank God all turned out well. Do buy Asus R558UR if you need one! : ) : )
