I wonder why N53SN so fast EOL, i mean it's one of Asus best selling SB i7 and won quite alot of awards specially on its design and it's selling fast and the only competitor i would say is the HP DV6.
Im sure they have a reason for doing so, marketing would not be that stupid. I wonder if this laptop actually have a bug.... hmm.gif

so far i been using for almost a month. my n53sv no problems. i even on it for more than 24 hours during weekends, for torrenting.

so just be happy of our rare item bro, tho urs is n53sn hehe. but one thing i tried, sc2 on ultra/extreme graphic will have fps drop. i set on high seems to be the sweet spot.

i hope my n53sv can run diablo 3 next year, as well as the upcoming witcher 2.

N53SV looks the same as N53SN except the surface where the N53SV has the texture looks of a brown timber/wood

Hi guys, I'm new here. I recently bought an N53SN last week and I'm facing some weird problems. Here are some of the problems:

1) Relatively slow startup time.
2) Takes a very long time to hibernate.(around 1minute)
3) After waking up from hibernation, it becomes really slow and after using it for a while the whole windows explorer hangs.. (This has been happening almost every single time)
4)  Laptop freezes when I open the task manager and "NOT RESPONDING" appears..
5) Windows explorer hangs even when just surfing the net. (Had to force shut down many times).

I'm sorry if some of the solutions to the problems above may have been mentioned before in this thread as I didn't go through the 99 pages of thread. I hope some of the experienced users out there can help to give me some advice on this matter.=) Thank you in advance.
*
wow almost the same as mine but...
1) 43 sec startup for me....its consider fast
2) I think 1 min should be normal
3) The hang thing does not always happen to me. I suspect if u hibernate in AC mode and wake up in Battery mode then the problem might occur. Same thing for the other way around
4) Nvr happened to me
5) Nvr happened to me b4 too cause maybe im using FireFox 4.0??? laugh.gif

FYI im also using Seagate HDD doh.gif
Anyway, to solve some of ur prob go to my first post on the first page and click on spoiler

err guys..how can you guys so sure that the seagate hdd is bad?
really should not be like that..even let say wd is 'better' then seagate, i dont think normal user would really notice them..hmm

seagate is one of the major hdd maker..dont you think their product is good? tech wise, they are better then wd..

hibernating/sleep issues is more related to s/ware, IMHO..
any of you guys actually approach asus?


Added on May 3, 2011, 5:23 pmi noticed in previous pages, someone posted their WEI result with hdd score less then 5.9. is this coming from seagat hdd?
*
I can assure you Seagate is bad/sucks

1) I bought my Seagate Free Agent Go.....6 months later cannot copy/cut and sometimes read files. In other words it crash doh.gif . I never even drop it b4. I took care of it like a baby. When i check on9 bout this model i found out.......lots and lots of ppl are having the same prob. The worst is 3 months after buying then crash d. Then send for warranty and Seagate ppl ask whether wan save the files......if yes the will charge u the price almost as same as the Ext HDD itself. Really WTF man. They are stealing our money

2) My N53SN is equip with Seagate Momentus. My WEI is 5.6 while WD users are 5.9 doh.gif . Also i suffer more probs than WD users Ex hibernation prob.

3) Another Asus owner(forgot name) with Seagate Momentus.....crash after 3 weeks.

4) I read a review about the Seagate Momentus XT......theres a big issue with it. Im not so clear what it is but it's kinda serious.

Conclusion Seagate Sucks thumbup.gif

PS: My desktop got 2 WD Green( 1 use 3 years & another 2 months and still no prob) and my bro and dad both have a WD Elements. 3.5" and 2.5" and still working perfectly after a year
