The display's good hold in practically all angles is noticed positively. The display's opening angle is limited to 130°, but should be sufficient for almost all cases of use, even in mobile applications. There weren't any irregular gaps or fault in the coating to be found even under closer examination. The all over matt surfaces that for example mask smudge and fingerprints add to the dignified looks. In terms of workmanship, the other plastic components are just as impressive with a throughout good stability. The brushed surface has impressive haptics and feels typically cool with a palpably subtle texture. Asus relies on aluminum applications on the wrist-rest and for the display bezel.

We particularly like the wave-like transition of the lateral edges toward the display, as well as the striking and generously sized loudspeaker covers on the notebook's familiar appearance.Īnother feature of the case is the applied materials. The design correlates to the previously reviewed Asus N73, the 17 inch counterpart of the N53 at hand. An invariable factor is the chassis which stands out with an especially striking side line.

The notebook has been available for a while in the most various configurations as the model N53J. We will hand a review in, as soon as such is available. According to Asus the final sample will be equipped with a better display. We have also dealt extensively with the new Intel HD Graphics 3000 in an extra review with comprehensive benchmarks, which the Asus N53V is based on.Īlthough our Asus N53V prototype is not a sample intended for retail, it has almost the final state. The same applies to the newest Nvidia GT 540M graphics card.

This feature also distinguishes the present Asus N53SV – a compact, elegant 15 incher which nevertheless has a strong 4 core CPU, and can switch between the incorporated HD Graphics 3000 and the GT 540 graphics card, Nvidia's latest midrange notebook GPU.ĭetailed information about the new Intel Sandy Bridge CPU generation can be found in our updated comparison test, respectively the i7-2820QM CPU on the according page in our comparison of mobile processors. What's that good for? Well, high performance notebooks can select the suitable graphic card with Nvidia's Optimus technology automatically and thus provide the perfect balancing act between performance and energy savings. Aside from a good portion of performance increase, users can profit from the graphics chip incorporated into the quad core. A whole range of processors, code named Sandy Bridge, are at the start and are to occupy the according bays in upcoming notebooks. As usual, Intel launches a new processor architecture just on time for the New Year, or rather for the CES in Las Vegas onto the market.
