    I want to buy this laptop asus X552LD-SX208D X-SERIES but I can't seem to find any reviews on the model anywhere, I can't even find it on the asus website so I'm now skeptical about it. Wondering why it doesn't seem to be getting any attention.
    The only model I could find with close enough specs on the website and reviews for is the X552 - X552CL-SX047H how ever it has an 3rd gen processor i5-3337U and a different graphics card (GT 710M Graphics) and the price difference is negligible (to me) but I want to get the better of the two.

    The specs (the ones that are important to me anyway). Plan on using it mostly for work stuff, programming mostly.
    X552LD-SX208D
    Intel® Core™ i5-4200U-1.6GHz
    4GB DDR3 RAM, 500GB SATA HDD
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 820M

    X552 - X552CL-SX047H
    Intel Core i5-3337U
    4GB DDR3 RAM
    500GB HDD
    NVIDIA GT710M 1GB DDR3 Graphics

    The Asus site has the X55LD but does not specify the suffix and the specifications page is unavailable. Reviews were hard to come by for me also. It looks like it comes with FreeDOS for the OS, so perhaps it's not in high demand (which might explain the shortage of reviews).
