I'm looking at the same laptop. I found it difficult to find reviews on the Asus X5DIJ... until i looked at the ASUS k-series. The exact same spec but called the
Asus K50IJ. So either someone in ebuyer confused the 'k' for an 'x' and the '0' for a 'D', or they just have different model numbers.

Asus are known for their quality. I'm looking to buy a new laptop after my HP Pavilion fell apart (hardware malfunctions) just as the warrenty finished.
My question is, whats better:
(1) Asus K50AB Laptop,
AMD QL-65 CPU,
3GB RAM, 250GB HDD, 15.6 TFT, DVD-SM,
ATI Mobility Radeon HD4570 with 512MB VRAM
OR
(2) Asus K50IN Laptop,
Core 2 Duo T5870,
4GB RAM, 250GB HDD, 15.6 TFT, DVD-SM,
NVidia GeForce G102M with 512MB VRAM
All other specs are the same.
~So far benchmark for AMD is higher than the Intel (minimal difference), and the ATI is ranked 75 compared to the Nvidia ranked 109 (http
/www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Graphics-Cards-Benchmark-List.844.0.html). So option 1 is looking better, but a second opinion is always a good idea.
