Asus K50 laptop - worthy of my £547?

I'm looking at buying an Asus K50 laptop with the following spec:

Core 2 Duo T6600 2.2GHz, 4GB RAM, 320GB HDD, 15.6" WXGA, DVD±RW, GF G102M, Webcam, Windows 7 Home Premium

£547.61 inc VAT & del (Ebuyer)


I wonder whether any of you have any experience of Asus and their laptops. They have been receiving good reviews recently but I have little experience of their laptops.

Are they reliable
Are they solid enough and well built
What is their support like?
It mentions a limited 2 year support - how does this work?

Thanks.

Am considering a Dell Studio 15 as well which is a little more expensive but similar spec.

i dont know that model but ive owned /used 3 asus laptops the build quiaility on all of them was fantastic ,much higher than dells ,they all looked good and "did what it said on the tin"
hope this helps

Asus is a good brand i can't see you going wrong with one.
