ASUS K50IJ Review


ASUS K50IJ The series is one of the last budget notebook designed to offer better performance than a netbook and a larger screen for a modest price increase. Each computer manufacturer on the market offers a multimedia PC at home with 15-inch laptops, like great desktop replacement. The real question is, is the provision of adequate supply of ASUS K50IJ of features at a competitive price of $ 699? Read on to find out.


Planning and building

At first glance, not the ASUS K50IJ be seen as something special. The ASUS website K50IJ describes as "designed to provide no-frills computing experience for mobile users." Well, with lively prose and how we can be different from those affected?


In all seriousness, the laptop is not dell vostro 1720 battery poorly constructed. The frame is solid enough, with a mix of matte and glossy plastic and are not flexible or squeaks that are common to low-cost plastic. The bright palmrests are nice and big with good support and a full-size keyboard with dedicated numeric keypad is comfortable to type for a whole day of work. The only clear area of the construction of low quality are the plastic covers of the hinges of the screen ... you can slip a little pressure.
In general, the K50IJ a desktop replacement is very nice to see. I use the term "desktop replacement" because most people in the market for 15-inch notebooks are not designed to take your laptop anywhere in the air frequently. The weight of almost six kilos of K50IJ this laptop makes it an unlikely candidate for road warriors.
When closed the K50IJ does not feel as strong as might be expected to cover the screen shows some flexibility because of the very light pressure. In addition, the display hinges do not provide a lot of tension when the lid is closed so that the upper part of the "flop" against the chassis until the top of the screen is about two inches open. Overall, this laptop should survive regular use and daily abuse of power, but it may start to show signs of wear after months of travel in a school bag.
The bottom of the laptop is the battery located behind an access plate to be removed just to release the battery. No access panels under the notebook to upgrade the RAM, hard drive or wireless cards. While the lack of scalability can be a great inconvenience for some users, it is safe to assume that most people who purchase this laptop is not updated. In fact, the K50IJ has only one RAM slot and comes with a module with 4 GB of RAM, you can not add more RAM to your system. Unfortunately, if you want to upgrade the hard drive on a faster hard disk or SSD, then you must remove the entire chassis.


Screen and speakers

The 15.6-inch high-definition (1366 x 768) the rate of C1-panel dell inspiron e1405 battery average or slightly above average with vibrant colors and excellent contrast. Our review unit backlighting is nice and bright, with a homogeneous distribution of the backlight. Yes, a 16:9 screen, but starts to become standard, LCD manufacturers raised to 100 percent of the production ratio of 16:9, so we have to get used to. Horizontal viewing angles are very good, so will have no problem sharing a movie with a friend or two. Upper vertical viewing angles are ways in which the colors start to wash, top and the colors start to invert and distort when you move the display back.
Altec Lansing branded Stereo palmrests are on the left and right front edge of the laptop. These "portable fire" speakers tend to produce a hollow sound when you have the laptop on your knees (as the sound goes to the horse), but the sound is surprisingly good when the laptop is a desktop speakers and a high sound can bounce up to the user. In short, the speakers are correct, but we would have liked to see a subwoofer in a notebook of this size. As always, we recommend a good set of headphones or external speakers for a better listening experience.


Keyboard and touchpad

The keyboard on our review of thinkpad t61 battery drive is very convenient in terms of writing experience that each key is nice and big, with good space right mattress and feedback. The only problem I had with the keyboard has some flexibility / bounce write a lot of pressure, but under normal pressure, type the flex is not really a problem. If you are not hitting the keys you probably do not realize the flexibility. The keyboard is backlit for use in a darkroom is not easy.

Base Elantech touchpad is large and comfortable to use, with a pleasant texture and multi-touch, but my praise ends there. The sensitivity is not very good and the touchpad delays during quick movements. The multi-touch does not work as well as some other multi-touch touchpad that we examined, but the movement of two fingers on the touchpad works well Elantech. The touchpad buttons are nice and big, but suffer from very low noise and feedback "click" when pressed.


Ports and Features

The selection of ports on K50IJ-C1 is not very impressive. In fact, it's just sad to see a laptop of this size with so few ports. The K50IJ includes four USB ports, VGA output, a 3-in-1 card reader, audio jacks, Ethernet, power connector and an optical drive ... that's all. No HDMI, FireWire, eSATA, ExpressCard, or are on this laptop. In this sense, it is fair to say that most average consumers are not using the HDMI port, FireWire, eSATA and ExpressCard laptops, most laptops include 15-inch doors.


Performance

The performance of the acer aspire one battery with an Intel Core 2 Duo T6500 and Intel integrated graphics is good enough X4500M. Usually, to see discrete graphics in a portable media desktop replacement, but the K50IJ must provide more than enough power for general use at home. This laptop should have no problem with Microsoft Office, Photoshop CS4, or video playback of 720p or 1080p via the Internet. But do not expect to play advanced 3D games will be fine.

5400 rpm provides acceptable performance, but given the amount of bloatware that comes pre-installed on laptop K50IJ takes a while 'to wake up from sleep or hibernation. The performance of Vista is much brighter after uninstalling some unnecessary applications.


Battery

With screen brightness set at 70%, wireless active, and the power profile view of "balance" in the ASUS K50IJ stayed for 3 hours and 22 minutes of constant use. We have seen another 15-inch laptop with dedicated graphics card to provide a better battery in the numbers, so we are not very impressed. However, it is acceptable for a desktop replacement or for an average household. If you need a book to be his constant companion, then K50IJ can not be the best option.


Heat and Noise

The cooling system does a decent job keeping heat under control. The area around the hard drive, RAM and GPU to the heat becomes more evident on the external surfaces of the laptop, but temperatures were not warm enough to prevent the use of K50IJ as a "portable." The temperature readings below (listed in degrees Fahrenheit) were taken after stressing the system with performance criteria of 30 minutes and must reflect the typical outdoor temperatures, after more than an hour of serious use.


Conclusion

The ASUS K50IJ relatively small budget is a dell inspiron 1545 battery that offers impressive performance for the price reasonable, but not much else. ASUS describes this as a "no frills" team that is probably a nice way of saying that this notebook has much to offer in terms of functionality. Compared to the same price of 15-inch laptop like the Dell Studio 15 or HP Pavilion dv5 ASUS K50IJ below. Yes, you get a free laptop bag and optical mouse, but the lack of ports and expandability are a bit 'disappointing.
Most average users do not care about the lack of HDMI, FireWire, eSATA, or ExpressCard. Similarly, most people probably do not bother to improve the hard drive or RAM on your laptop. However, given what is available for the price of ASUS K50IJ has stiff competition.
