Asus K50IJ


$650.00 Released January, 2009

Product Shot 1 The Pros:Affordable price. LED backlit display. Capable of displaying high definition 720p media.

The Cons:Heavy and large size - poor for use on the go. Intel GMA graphics is no good for anything but standard media, desktop applications. Many people have problems with the Sound cards. My sister just got a brand new one and the sound has only worked once.

The Asus K50IJ is a 15.6" notebook PC from Asus' multimedia-oriented K-Series for 2009 and is the lowest of the three 15.6" models from the series, the other models being the K50AB and K51AB.

    Audio gets a bad rap, but it's because people don't understand that they have to turn on the SRS Premium Sound program (comes installed) to get better sound.
