I was hesitant when purchasing this laptop for my daughter for college, because it had only one review (albeit a good one) from a "DeeMan" on Amazon, and I couldn't find any professional reviews from other cites. I knew Asus makes a good computer because I own a different model, so I decided to go for it. So far, I have no regrets, It is a very good laptop for the price. I agree that the keyboard is a little cramped, and is probably better suited for a girl's hand. It was easy to set up, and best of all my daughter LOVES it.

I have purchased this laptop on August 27th for this coming fall for college. delivery tracking said the estimated delivery date would be on September 02, 2010. Received it on schedule and on time.
so after unpacking and initializing the laptop;
Pros: Fast and responsive, have yet to receive any problems so far.
Cons: Nothing major/serious.
Some minor cons: Glossy screen and frame can collect fingerprints and dust (but that can easily be cleaned from using Windex or an alternate friendly cleaning product). Minor bloatware to deal with (which can be easily uninstalled with out struggle using Ccleaner or a similar program)
Other thoughts: i would personally recommend this laptop to other people that may be going to college, or needing a new or a replacement. Though i do somewhat disagree with the first review on how the keyboard may seem to feel flimsy, and i'm not exactly sure how the user not being able to type well because the key resizing from the built-in numpad affects the product, which both is a personal feeling or judgement.

I just got this notebook 2 days ago. One thing that I noticed it that is freezes A LOT! At first I just thought it was the Google Chrome that I downloaded on it. I took it off the computer and I am still having a lot of problems with the computer freezing and being slow. I ordered a replacement of this notebook and should be getting it soon today. I really hope I do not have the same problems. Overall I do love the computer. If I still have problems with this model I did find a different model of the ASUS that I will get for $50 more from Best Buy that has a couple extra features I like. We will have to see.

Love this laptop! Excellent price compared to other top makers with the same components (about $200 less) and quality product. Highly recommend this to anyone considering purchasing a laptop.

I have only had this laptop for a few days, and I absolutely love it. I have to disagree with the other review that says that the keyboard is small and flimsy. As a full time student who spends a lot of time typing, the keyboard was one of the most important features to me when comparing laptops. The keyboard on this Asus is very comfortable, comparable to the keyboard on the Mac Powerbooks. And I love having the number pad! I guess it all depends on what you're used to. I'd also like to comment that the laptop looks great. From the photos it looked pretty plain, and I was worried about being dissapointed by it because I was looking for something stylish. In the end I chose Asus' reputation as being reliable over the style of some other laptops I was considering. When I recieved my Asus I realized that it was the best of both worlds--all the reliability and components I wanted, and really sharp looking too! I'd recommend the Asus K50IJ to anyone based on my experiences so far.
