ASUS K50IJ-H1 15.6-Inch Versatile Entertainment Laptop (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was apprehensive about replacing my seven year old HP laptop. It served me well but had some hiccups that I had become accustomed to. The thought of adapting to Windows 7, Office 2007 and new hardware besides was daunting.
I couldn't be happier! Windows 7 is a dream and the laptop itself is really an easy machine to work with and no idiosyncracies. The price was a complete bargain! I did my market research and ASUS was listed as the best buy for the money, but I didn't expect to be so happy! I had heard that the touch pad and keyboard were not responsive and that people had trouble using the camera, etc because the instructions weren't included. I found everything simple to use and intuitive. I would highly reccomend this computer to everyone, not just the budget conscious.

IBM Enhanced USB Keyboard Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This keyboard is not exactly a mainstream keyboard and you probably won't find it in a retail store.
It's a very nice keyboard though. It has two different angle positions besides just being flat. Plus it has a nice wrist rest. And if you like quick key buttons, the programmable top buttons are very nice, especially for the calculator. It's usually kind of baried in Windows.
Another great thing about this keyboard is the touch and feel. It responds quickly, yet lightly and it is quiet. The dual USB 2.0 ports are nice as well. More common now, but when this first came out, it was highly unusual. Unfortunately, the keyboard brand is now Lenovo instead of IBM, but other than that, cosmetically it is pretty much ideal and the black is very nic. I don't use the back/forward buttons very much, but when I have it was a nice touch.
The media controls have kind of a firm feel, I wish they were softer, but they work very well. The mute button is very handy too, especially when browsing sites with embedded music that you don't expect.
We have 3 of these keyboards in my family, I can definitely recommend it. I don't however recommned IBM/Lenovo's mice with the little up/down scroll button.
Oh, also the positioning of the USB ports might not allow big flash drives, etc.
