Asus K50AB
Released January, 2010
The Pros:LED backlit display. Not gaudy looking. Ample RAM and drive capacities.
The Cons:Highly suspect battery life claim. The 6 hour battery claim is plain fraudulent - it gets around 2.5 hours in practice. Hard to get performance graphic card (radeon 4570 hd in my case and experiance) to work on windows 7.
The Asus K50AB is a 15.6" notebook PC from Asus' multimedia-oriented K-Series for 2009 and is one of three 15.6" models from the series, the other models being the K50IJ and K51AB.
