ASUS U50Vg-AM1 Thin and Light 15.6-Inch Black Laptop (Windows 7 Home Premium) Buy Now

I like this laptop. Decent battery life, good performance and an above average amount of storage space on the harddrive. Consumer reports also ranks this as the #2 best laptop to get right now.

I have three annoyances with this laptop.
Display:
1. This might be personal preference but the display is great for widescreen but the height of the display is not proportional to the width (1366X768). Consequently, the documents will not automatically fit to the screen unless you tweak the document. Additionally, the display almost washes out the screen in white. This might be a quirk or I might be spoiled on my Mac but the brightness and lack of contrast is sort of annoying.
2. The VGA port does not have screws to tightly affix the vga cable to the laptop. I like to use multiple monitors.
Touchpad:
3. The touchpad buttons take a lot of getting used to.
Software:
4. It lacks a full copy of MS Office or Trend Antivirus.Get more detail about ASUS U50Vg-AM1 Thin and Light 15.6-Inch Black Laptop (Windows 7 Home Premium).

Having held out to upgrade my home computer until Windows Vista went away, I'm very glad I did. It gave ASUS a chance to move beyond motherboard production into full-blown computer manufacturing. And a good move it was! I'm very happy with this unit. It's fast; it's loaded with features (some of which I didn't even know it had); it's got a two-year warranty; battery life is double anything I've experienced before; and I absolutely love the lighted keyboard.
As for Windows 7, it's taking me a while to get used to it. XP is still near and dear to my heart and ingrained in my brain. But the quick boot-up, and ASUS' ability to start up for certain purposes without even using Windows 7, are winning me over.
So far my only complaint is about the glossy black finish -- which probably is better than a police technician for collecting fingerprints. I prefer the black matte finish of my Lenovo. I was intending, in fact, to purchase another Lenovo, but the ASUS won me over. I would highly recommend this unit to anyone who needs a real work-horse for the home office.Get more detail about ASUS U50Vg-AM1 Thin and Light 15.6-Inch Black Laptop (Windows 7 Home Premium).
