ASUS does a very compelling job of making an affordable laptop with the ASUS X54C-RB93 that offers it performance typically found in laptops costing a good deal more. They even manage to add a USB 3.0 port which many at this price point lack. There are a number of compromises that the system makes including a smaller battery for shorter running times, less internal storage and and just two overall USB ports.
