From one of the first companies to implement the Core i7 technology from Intel, the Asus M60J is fortunate enough to have been endowed with such a powerful unit to marshal its operations. Let us see what the Asus M60J has in store for us.
First and foremost, the features of the Asus M60J are intended for people who are into multimedia. This means that the M60J was designed for heavy graphics as well as heavy multimedia applications that eat up a lot of memory and require a very powerful processor to pull off. High-definition media need a lot of VRAM and processing muscle in order to bring their detailed graphics and clear video out.
In short, it is a portable multimedia machine that the multimedia user can bring along for entertainment while on a long trip.
The Asus M60J answers all those concerns with the Intel Core i7 processor. You can pick the 820QM, or the 720QM processors, which run at 1.73GHz and 1.6GHz respectively. This powerful processor is backed up by a memory capacity of up to 4 gigabytes. HD multimedia viewing will be very smooth and enjoyable with such a combo. In order to ensure true HD graphics, the Asus M60J is equipped with an Nvidia GeForce GT240M graphics card with a video memory of 1 gigabyte. All of this makes the M60J a giant among the multimedia laptop niche.

One of Asus’ laptops in the entry-level category (below $500) is the Asus K50IJ-RX05. Priced at just around $420, one may suspect that the 15-incher Asus K50IJ-RX05 could not live up to the expectations of an entry-level laptop user.
To allay those suspicions, let us take a quick look at the Asus K50IJ-RX05. We will examine if its specs and configurations would satisfy an average computer user.
The Asus K50IJ-RX05 is powered by Intel’s older dual core processors, the Intel Pentium Dual-Core T4200. This processor, although, older is not obsolete at the least. It could still perform at par with other entry-level processors, due to the 3 GB of read access memory. The Asus K50IJ-RX05 is also beefed up with an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500 graphic chipset. With these combos, the Asus K50IJ-RX05 could outperform other thinking machines at its price category.

While it does have a RAM of 512, sadly, its hard drive only carries 4 GB.

Bear in mind that this laptop was designed for people who like to travel or who are always on the move. People on the go like to use laptops for checking mails or accomplishing certain office tasks. This laptop is not intended for long usage given its small screen size. Further, because of its size, people won’t even know that you are carrying it. That is a good safety feature if you think about it.
Asus Eee PC 701 also offers users a very easy to understand, friendly, and tab-based interface. All you need to do is memorize these six choices. Internet, Work, Learn, Play, Settings and Favorites. As I said, very easy.
