Looking for a mid-budget laptop (Asus N550JV)

[Timmyo]

Hi,

so I'm looking forward to buying the Asus laptop N550JV and I wanted to know if anybody had the opportunity to come across a model which has Full HD (1920x1080) but WITHOUT the Touch Screen option as I've heard bad things about it. I've managed to find a corresponding model but only on foreign websites such as: (http/www.materiel.net/ordinateur-portable/asus-n550jv-cn139h-92037.html).
If my request has no success, would you have a similar laptop to recommend?

Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter.

You can find the N550jv model you are looking for (the DB71) on excaliber pc:

or on ebay:

You could also customize it on Xoticpc:

Another good laptop with a similair setup is the Lenovo Y510p:

Thanks for the awnsers. Axi0m I think I'll go with your option as the price is lower. However I wanted to know if you had any experience with excaliberpc.com and if ordering from the United States is risk taking as I fear for the state of the laptop when it arrives. I know that this risk is taken when ordering from any online shop but I prefer asking as it would be a pain to send it back to the US if it arrives in a bad state.

I have not dealed with them personally, but I have read that they are of good repute. Adittionally I have often seen them listed as sellers for both amazon and ebay further re-assuring me of their legitamacy. I should also mention that they are highly rated on reseller ratings (http/www.resellerratings.com/store/EXcaliberPC) with a 9.1/10 score.

Ultimately the choice is up to you though.
