Asus K50IJ-BNC5

Review: Editors' note: This review is part of our 2010 Retail Laptop and Desktop Back-to-School roundup, covering specific fixed configurations of popular systems that can be found in retail stores.

The Asus K501J-BCN5 serves up long battery life, a backlit keyboard, and a year of AV protection. Unfortunately, these Next Class features add a considerable sum to the price; we like a cheaper yet similarly configured Asus K501J model better.

Asus K50IJ-RX05

As long as you won't need more than what it already has, the budget-friendly Asus K50IJ-RX05 is money well spent.
