Hi guys, just back from Digital Mall SS14 (looking for 120mm fans and stupid power adapter in the end couldn't find anything )
Just to let you guys know that there are already display units of N45Sf and N55Sf (both black) in C-Zone (they sure are fast )

Din't have much time to play with them (cause the technician was busy molesting them)
Basically these are my observations:
- They're ugly (no offense simon) Lid is made completely of glossy materials, its not as glossy as Qosmio F60s... but enough to annoy most ppl... easily scratched and collects dust.
- The screen is quite thin, not bad~ But I dun like the silver thingy below the monitor...
- Palm rest is made from cheap plastic (very cheap) The plastic feels very "hollow", dunno how to describe... a big downgrade unfortunately...
- Speaker grill looks weird as the "holes" are not equal in size... the "holes" are larger on sides, smaller at the center... very weird
- Keyboard: Buttons are basically the same as those in N53Sn and N43S... only that they're in silver.. Not sure whether the color will fade or not after prolonged usage. I'm happy to report that flexes are minimal on both models ^^ There are multiple multimedia keys cramped at the left hand side of the keyboard, which overally makes the keyboard looks a bit cramped (especially so in the N55sf), the buttons looked smaller compared to previous N53Sn (especially the keypad)... Typing feel is more or less similar like the predecessor, which is quite good and accurate~
- Port layout is not very good imho.... 3 USB ports at the right 1 at the left (iinm)
- The subwoofer looks cute, but din't get the chance to test them out...

In my view, the N45/55sf is a step backwards for Asus N series... the N43/53 was so much better
I is a sad nao....
