Omg .... I am planning to get this soon
Asus distributer say The N53sn will arrive Brunei next week

I just visited Local Asus distributor and manage to check out the N53SN before buying it.
I tried pressing the - + and mute button also including the FN + Vol keys on the keyboard and the volume didn't change at all.
but the FN + - brightness keys are functional.

I asked the technician and he said he just install some games and Microsoft 2010 and he didnt uninstall any bloatware.

Anyone else experience this ? Sifus please comment : )

So i can just redownload and reinstall the ATK driver from Asus support site .
Thanks for the quick reply

Price of N53SN in Brunei from CFK is BND1599 = SGD1599
Free gift including Asus cord mouse, Laptop bag

Overall the laptop design are very good. It actually look better in real life when compare with those online pictures
The keyboard is quite long ... will have difficulties finding a keyboard protector. Adapter looks like a brick but not as heavy as it look.

Test the Speaker with full volume with songs from user document
I compare the output sound with my old Dell inspiron 6400 (Use to be the loudest when compare with other 15" laptop. The Asus produce more louder bass and more clear clarity sound than my old Dell
