What Asus laptop should i get?

[laylacoco]

I need a recommendation for a good Asus laptop. I don't need any special gaming\touch\etc features,just a good strong laptop that won't give me any problems.
I need it for work (documents and simple programs) and for after work (web and the ability to watch a movie in good quality)
I was VERY unhappy with my last laptop- a cheap Lenovo that gave me every problem in the book,so i'm willing to spend a little more then the budget laptops. I want a Asus since i was very happy with my Asus (K50IJ) in the past,i had it for 4 years without having one problem. I would really appreciate recommendations! Thank you!

avoid any processor that ends with a "U" unless you like under-powered computers. The i7 4500u has a performance profile that is in line with the i3. Don't waste your money.
