The N50 series notebook from Asus revolutionizes the way you get your entertainment on the go. The Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4GB of RAM provide an optimized, multithreaded architecture for improved multimedia and multitasking performance, perfect for those that have lots to do and little time to do it.
The 15.4" widescreen with LED backlight display movies and pictures with stunning clarity, true-to-life color, and razor-sharp detail. You may never run out of room to store your documents, pictures, and audio and video files with the 320GB hard drive. Use the DVD Super Multi drive to create your own portable media and backup files.
The webcam also works with face recognition software so you can log on with just a look, or for additional security use the fingerprint reader by the touchpad. All of this functionality is great, but useless in isolation. So, there's a plethora of wired and wireless connection options. Circling the shell are 3xUSB, 1xFireWire, 1x eSATA, 1xGigabit Ethernet, 1xHDMI and more. Wireless connectivity includes 802.11b/g/n.

Great laptop
- Pros: This laptop is great. In the counter-strike video stress test, it scored 194 frames per second. It will handle anything you throw at it with ease. The logon system is very nice. You can either let it recognize your face, scan your finger, or type in a password. The laptop looks great, and really isn't that big compared to other gaming laptops. Having a number pad is really nice. Vista really isn't as bad as I though it would be. It runs very quite and doesn't put out much heat. The warranty is unbeatable!
- Cons: Keys sometimes don't type a letter when you hit them, but it doesn't happen very often. I type fast so that might be why.
The face recognition software sometimes doesn't recognize your face.
- Other Thoughts: A lot of people complained about the bloatware. Honestly, my mom's Compaq had way more than this computer did. Just install the PC Decrapifier and it'll take care of any programs you don't want.
If anyone I know is looking for a laptop for college to edit photos and video, or to play games, I'll recommend this for sure.
Powerful for the Price
- Pros: This machine ran WoW at 60fps and less than 100ms lag without even installing the program. I ran it over my home network from a computer running XP Home. I was completely amazed.
The security software is also pretty sweet. I wouldn't rely on face recognition as it's not as secure as fingerprints (proof of concept tests have shown you can use a 2 dimensional picture out of a magazine to bypass face recognition).
This machine is fast!
- Cons: There is indeed a lot of bloatware. CCleaner or PC Decrapifier will do the trick but some progams are hard to identify as to whether they are necessary. Gotta figure out which daemons you actually need.
- Other Thoughts: I just upgraded from a 3 year old Dell Inspiron 1501. I had no idea you could get a laptop this nice for the price. It actually runs WoW better than my desktop computer. I'll be installing Win7 on this as soon as it's released. It's faster than Vista and XP.

- Pros: I have had no problems with this laptop whatsoever. It runs very fast in Windows 7 RC, which installed fine.
- Cons: The webcam was installed upside down, so you need the latest drivers, but they fix it.
- Other Thoughts: Great laptop for the price.
