The Good

While it is true that Asus has a good name in the laptop manufacturing industry, many will still say the Asus K50IJ – XA1 is not one of the better laptops that they have produced. However this laptop still has some okay features and that it has an average review rating of 4.0/5.0 stars shows that people aren’t that upset with this Asus laptop. But apart from its major features listed above it really can’t do too much for its $499.00 price. It is however a beautiful looking laptop that can handle most basic computing and it also has low power consumption.

The Cons

Its screen doesn’t really go the full 1080p and it might be hard if not impossible for one to differentiate btw a 1080p video and a 720p video. The response of the touch pad is also quite poor.

So is this laptop recommendable? Well, yes if you love Asus. But if you have been their critic for some time you may want to get a different laptop simply because the chances are that you will buy the laptop and be looking for the cons. The bad thing will be that you may just see a lot of them. Nevertheless, it is still a fairly good laptop for basic computing. But it is certainly not a gaming laptop.
