5.0 out of 5 stars Best performance for the value, despite a few quirks, March 28, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: ASUS N53SV-XV1 15.6-Inch Versatile Entertainment Laptop (Silver Aluminum) (Personal Computers)
I have been searching for the laptop of my dreams for several months, and after settling for the ASUS N53SV-XV1 I can tell you with 100% confidence that I made the right choice. This is the absolute best laptop you can buy for the money. There is simply nothing else out on the market right now for this value. The core components (processor, hard drive, screen, sound, graphics card) are unbeatable. It gives you the portability of a 15" laptop and the performance of a desktop replacement.

Pros:
- Great performance from Intel 2nd generation Sandy Bridge processor (quiet, efficient, and powerful)
- Sound is AMAZING. Loudest speakers available on a laptop (great for watching TV/movies) and built-in bass
- 1080p, 1920 x 1080 resolution screen is gorgeous and great for multitasking
- Good, but not great NVIDIA graphics
- 4 memory slots allow you to get 16 GB maximum if you upgrade
- 7200 rpm hard drive means you get the most performance possible... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful Notebook, Amazing Value!, March 24, 2011

This review is from: ASUS N53SV-XV1 15.6-Inch Versatile Entertainment Laptop (Silver Aluminum) (Personal Computers)
Brief Review:

This laptop is perfect for desktop replacement home use; for the money $1,050, this is the best laptop available IMHO. It is very well rounded, with one of the fastest mobile processors available and a mid range GPU.

Pros:
Value
Top notch processor
Full HD Display 1080p
Low heat & low power consumption

Cons:
-Keyboard (I prefer chicklet)
-Wireless Adapter
-Wider than most 15.6" laptops

Further Detail:

Power consumption and heat are also strong points. This laptop has the latest Sandy Bridge CPU which sips power due to 32nm production process as well as integrated graphics (NVIDIA Optimus to switch to the dedicated GPU as needed).

The Full HD 1080p display is beautiful. Great for photo editing and multitasking with ample desktop "real estate."

The keyboard in my unit is not as squishy as other reviewers. What I find annoying is the lack of separation in the... Read more

If your in the market for a mid-level laptop, LOOK NO FURTHER!

Very attractive design
NVIDIA Optimus technology
Runs pretty cool
Beautiful 1080p screen
Decent sound for a laptop

Cons-
No Blu-ray
Keyboard layout a little awkward
A little heavy for a mid size laptop
Bloatware

I've used Asus products for years but this is the first laptop of theirs that I've owned, and I'm very impressed. Feels solid and runs great. Try pricing out a comparable computer and you'll spend at least 1500. One thing I will point out is even though the website description says this has an eSATA port, it doesn't. This thing is fast, especially once you remove some of Asus' pre-installed software. My old Core2Duo ran so much hotter than this quad-core. Running flash and hd video is like nothing to this computer. Haven't tried any games yet but I've heard reports that it... Read more
