Just received the ASUS K50IJ-D2 after doing much research. I wasn't in the market for an ultra-portable machine since I wanted a full keyboard and a built-in disc drive. Overall, when comparing specs line by line with other machines (processor, hard drive size, memory, etc.) the ASUS was always at least $50 cheaper than other brands. Sometimes as much as $200 cheaper. The machine is fast, runs great, and so far has done everything as expected.
Cons (as compared to other machines):
-Basic black appearance (not hip)
-touch pad has no dedicated scroll area (purely a preference issue)
-no volume control on the keyboard area (slightly less convenient than HP DV7 for example)
Pros:
-As mentioned above- more machine for your money
NOTE:
The ASUS K50IJ-X8 appears to be exactly the same machine as this one, only with a larger hard drive (500 GB vs. 320 GB), and the X8 is cheaper! However, [...]Get more detail about ASUS K50IJ-D2 15.6-Inch Black Versatile Entertainment Laptop (Windows 7 Home Premium).
