IceCool Palm Rest
By virtue of innovative structural design, the ASUS K50ID features the IceCool Palm Rest which cleverly positions heat-producing components away from the palm rest. This ensures the maximum computing comfort, even after prolonged hours.
Chocolate Keyboard
The ASUS K50ID features an ergonomically designed Chocolate keyboard, one which has concave key-caps that conform perfectly to the fingers. Positioned to the right of the keyboard is a full numeric keypad for effortless number input
True-to-life Graphics
Not only stylish, the ASUS K50ID is also a capable entertainer while on-the-move. It features a dedicated NVIDIA GeForce GT320 graphics card for true-to-life graphics for games, videos and movies.
Crystal Clear Sound
A gorgeous 15-inch high definition LED display with a 16:9 aspect ratio adorns the ASUS K50ID for crisper visuals and brightness. Complementing this visual spectacle is SRS Premium Sound and Altec Lansing speakers, providing rich audio quality to match the moving pictures. Finally, with HDMI support, hooking up with other HDMI-capable consumer products, such as consoles and entertainment systems is simply effortless.

Bios Errors
Correct CPU Socket: Socket P
Listed Socket Info: Socket 478, upgrade Socket 423 <-These values are wrong, These are left overs that
were missed when the 730i chipset was re-engineered to operate with a Socket P CPU and a faster memory
bus. Asus has yet to correct this data, as well as listing release notes for their bios updates e.g. no way to know what each bios update addresses or fixes.
Memory: No DMI data listed in bios to report max amount or type of memory, Again Asus has yet to add or update this info since chipset re-tool for this board.
