If you are looking for a classy yet cheap but reasonably nice looking laptop as your desktop replacement, then I suggest you buy the Asus K50ij laptop. The Asus K50ij is definitely a good buy if you are into budget laptops. I just bought mine last year and I was really impressed with this notebook which only costs php26,500 $553 (last year’s pricing) but is now retailed at php 24,000 from most PC retailers here in the Philippines. I was lucky to have bought this since I was in dire need then of a budget laptop that was capable of running mainstream applications to get my work done.
