    Doese any one know anything about this model? It seems to have almost the same specs as the M50Vn but it is much lower priced?
    The Swedish version has the P8600 processor, 9650M GT with 1 gb and a screen resolution of 1440*900.
    If anyone has this model it would be very interesting to get som opinions about it, I can't even find it on the asus website!

    Asus tends to release equivalent X-series notebooks overseas and in Europe, depending on the market. They don't generally place these on Asus' global website, although sometimes you can find them. The X57 likely is the same thing as the M50 series, with slightly different specs.

    The gpu is a good mid-high product, and the P8600 will be more than adequate for the majority of daily use (although it will be somewhat slower in high-use scenarios like encoding, etc compared to the t9xxx cpus).
