    Just a bit confused, I've been looking at some Asus laptops but when I try to check the reviews here I can't find the models :/

    For example this Asus X59SL-AP338C Laptop.

    What is it model series? Theres no "X" series in the list on this site.

    We only have a limited number of X series laptops here in the US. It's basically a budget laptop similar or just one step below the F series.

    Well, the X series isn't exactly like the F series, but they are in the same "budget" class. I believe their chassis are different, so it'll be hard to correlate the build quality, keyboard, etc with the X series. I think it's best if you found an actual review of the particular X series you're looking at... maybe reviews from other countries/websites. :eek:

    However I do believe (without knowing for sure) that some X laptops are actually using certain chassis(es???) from the F series. Not sure if that is the case for that X59, though...
