well, are you heavy gamer fanatic? if you dont mind playing some intense game on mid high setting instead of max like sc2 then go for asus n53sn for better design, lighter, less bulky and no warranty worries and get those extra money get more ram, gaming mouse zalman cooler~ this is just my opinion choices are still yours to decide

Is there a need to make a recovery dvd? I thought we can use the recovery partition or something?

I agree with TS on the B&O speakers, it is above average only, just tried one in the shop, sound is loud but not very crystal clear.

Just to be safe, try to make recovery discs

i think 550m can run SC2 in Ultra. i m using 5650 (weaker than 550M), at stock clock already can run SC2 in Ultra, using Catalyst 11.2 (AI set to Performance / Advance), disable Reflection, everything else in Ultra, including Texture. Getting above 40 FPS most of the time. Running at 1366x768 though. Using Patch 1.3. Can even run at Extreme setting, but in with Protoss Carrier, it will drop down to 25 FPS.

Make recovery better incase ur HDD crash

K now 4th disc le... and wth! Really 6 disc?! CRAZY! Other ppl only like 3 disc!

any N53SN user able to update the nvidia control panel so can setting other than 3D Setting and Video
tat can set the resolution stretch and fit on the screen

Why cannot fit your laptop screen. On your screen cannot go higher than 1366 x 768 you know unless you connect to external monitor
If wan fit perfectly on your screen go to desktop>right click> screen resolution > set to 1366 x 768

sry dint mention, i mean in game
ther will 2 black boader beside

what game

u confirm got set maximum resolution? usually this case is dint set to maximise

Wa you wasted how many DVD???
I think maybe you were doing something else on the laptop while its backing up to the DVD. Suppose to leave the laptop alone cause this program eats away lots of resources.
Nothing happen to mine cause I did not disturb the laptop while its backing up to the DVD

Btw you used AI recovery burner right???

Btw guys, do you think I should delete Asus Live Update???? I heard its a useless program and very hard to delete....need to use 3rd party program

Delete it...

yes, using ai recovery~ is it the same as windows system backup? doing it now hope it is if not waste 2 more disc d....

@Trance4eva or who ever who owns the n53sn

in the hood there's 2 ddr3 ram 1033mhz sticks right?

no its 1333mhz by default not 1033

hw come the windows update everytime i shutdown will have update =_=

starting time is like that cause alot of updates. u can go to control panel and set you choose when or what u want to update
