ASUS K50IJ

At work I am sometimes given new items to use and take home and one of them recently was this laptop which was there to help me whilst my other Sony laptop was being repaired.

The battery life is great too - it lasts for about three hours. Which is really good for a laptop with 15,6 inch screen. However there are ... more

Asus advertise a 6 hour battery life. Don't believe this. It is more like a normal 2.5 hour battery life fairly typical for this class of computer. The major selling points are a good processor/graphics cabability for this price and a 2 year international warranty.
