If it's 1280x720, then the result is actually not too bad.
Cause I'm running on EAH 4850 xfire. Desktop. Quadcore. Although system is old. I find it ok to play most of the games I want. So, N53SN is indeed a good buy. |

The only way air can enter is through the keyboard and at the bottom (which does not hav much "holes")QUOTE(Star_knight79 @ Mar 28 2011, 10:54 AM) Are you running at low resolution? 1280x720 is the highest option available for the benchmark....but 1080p can also la but my laptop screen not big enough to see the score later  QUOTE(Borsch Soup @ Mar 28 2011, 11:06 AM) Wow, battery life is really good, 2hours 40min on High Performance. Wait till i run it in battery saving mode  QUOTE(Borsch Soup @ Mar 28 2011, 11:55 AM) Guys, what's the exterior physical difference with N53Sv and N53SN (not including CPU, GPU), is it the palmrest is aluminium?

Hi All, can share how to connect this NB as HTPC to AV amp? Possible to play blu-ray HD audio from ard 60GB "Planet Earth" file (either bit-stream or pass-thru via HDMI?) many thks.
Juz to share, I got additional RAM from Lowyat Plaza for RM125 for 4GB pc togather with the N53SN. Now running 12GB (i know it is overkill but the RAM's price is reasonable now.... so can't help but juz add it). This post has been edited by Able.O.S: Mar 28 2011, 05:18 PM |

HDD would always remain at 5.9 for the WEI. Only way to boost it is to get an SSD since RAIDing is out of the question.

QUOTE(Trance4eva @ Mar 27 2011, 05:13 AM) And on the crappy preloaded software Hey I have a N53SN too, and it comes with crappy preloaded software.Honestly i got to say Asus is really dumb for putting to much software. To boot up to windows almost took me 3 minutes to startup and thats before i delete any drivers of software. Not only that i just delete some unnesecery software and suddenly....poof my ATK driver and Asus Splendid etc is gone. This is crap man. 1st time stating up the laptop and it takes dam long. I thought Asus is famous for having fast boot up time. Seriously when you get this laptop, reformat it to factory default and don't think twice like I did. After installing SP1 i lazy wan reformat d. Oh yea.....there is no DirectX software but full of other crappy software so please rmb to download it from Microsoft. Anyway im not done reviewing yet as I still have not try it on heavy games, bettery life, temps, etc so stay tune So isit alright to delete all these? Will it void the warranty?? Rather than restoring to factory settings, I'm thinking of uninstalling them only. Sorry I'm new to stuff like these. How do I "restore factory settings" to rid of the crappy softwares? |
