The GPU used is Nvidia or Intel??? Maple Story does not need that much graphics so it might be using Intel's graphics instead. Try to config it

The support backing under the keyboard isn't that strong. Doesn't matter what size it is.

just got my new N53SV its awesome so far. still sorting it out. its not N53SN tho but this thread helped me make my decision

Trance4eva, Have you use asus express gate to browse internet, somehow it loads very slow compared to browsing in windows.
Any solution? can install google chrome in asus express gate?

You can't install chrome cause its not compatible with express gate. Anyway if its slow, you can always log in to windows . Express Gate is more for people that wants to save battery as they are only doing internet browsing

I think i'll get my N53sn this week..hope u all can teach me

i had a u41jf as medtioned.. using express gate to get to a browser is faster in terms of getting through windows and firefox/chrome.. but soo far loading is kinda slow and battery hungry.. still figuring out how to install chrome n skype also
oh yeah, express gate loading faster? get SSD or HDD hybrid then can go faster.. 5400rpm throttles the speed..

Added on April 2, 2011, 9:07 pmi've used express gate, itz slower but loading plain things is quite fast
battery consumption higher than windows.. strangely..
im using a u41jf 8 cell batts
my comp last me 9 hours in windows and 6-8 hours in express gate.. maybe is how it manages the ram etc.. but itz great for airports etc when u can juz shut lid and bye bye to ur flight..

abt the screen scaling.. where to find the option?? to remove the black border for games tat dont support 16:9 were supposed to set scaling to fit to screen right?

lol your right
found this review bout express gate
"Like many other Asus notebooks, the present N53 includes Asus' Express Gate software. This is actually a mini operating system based on Linux connected upstream of Windows OS and boots significantly faster than Windows due to the slimmed down functions. In the case of the N53S, about 5 seconds pass until the Express Gate desktop is available.
However, the user should scale down its requirements on graphics and available functions. Otherwise, you will be confronted with a distorted representation and the felt speed of given applications (calendar, pictures, browser, Facebook, YouTube and a few basic games) won't be as expected. If you believe this is especially energy saving you're wrong. Our multimeter measures 17-26 W, which is considerably more than the idle mode of Windows operation. "

if u do find a way to use express gate (EG- hate typing) with other software do let me know also.. cuz i was give 3 months with the u41jf as it was claimed by my dad.. (boohoo- no test runs) but if EG runs 3-4 hours on the sn i would be super happie.. cuz note taking would be great.. (dont play music on EG- kills the time left)
games, i somehow incorporated 2d games into the EG games menu i dunno how.. but like i say not enuf test runs//

Use the Intel graphic properties for scaling since Optimus piggy-backs on the Intel HD.

EG can play musics??? i din know that
I assume the SN can last 3hours on EG unless the req is scale down la and i don' think you can install any other software on EG cause EG is an Linux based OS. Might be some software out there for EG....maybe from Asus

Btw you getting SN after your u41jf is gone????

hmm.. apparently they hav skype but dunno why it got deleted from EG.. sud hav more in development as asus wants more pple use it.. can't sell a product which does what a handphone does better.. but EG can play all FLASH CONTENT!!! flash works wonders in boring times..
bro gt 5750g, i was using u41jf, but it looks oo nice and hav 9 hours practical usage (10 hours advtise) dad look, hmm slim, long life, fast.. i'll take it..
then now im using my 7 yr old lappie, again..killing me with itz 7400 geforce go.. 9hr to 5 min batts... april 22 is my day wootz!

Skype got deleted Maybe because it got deleted in Windows???
Lol dad take away??? ask him get a android phone la
Anyway, SN is better than 5750g IMO cause better design,speaker,graphics and better arrow keys(on the 5750g is sooo small).....getting 5750g also ok la. Price is reasonable for its brand and specs.

he switch from win6.0 to blackberry bold... he joined the wrong dark side... but heck he nids do presentation which is longer hours than me..
im soooooooooo getting a sn.. decided since december...dammit.. y i hav 2 w8 soo long... keys gt to agree too small n flat.. speakers on 5750 is actually great compare to my 7 yr old parvilion not too shabby.. graphics, switching is like best leaved to manual.. nvidia in acer can't really switch easily.. always hav to man config or right click run in nvidia.. ( i set in the control panel ady alwyas still run in cpu gpu)

under which tab?

YES someone finally sharing this problem.
Need help and steps too T.T

farking, go asus website download latest vga driver, then restart com. then right click under graphic properties select advanced mode.
under media, select image scaling. then tick letterbox to widescreen
