hey, i brought a N55SF core i7 yesterday, its great, but a little warm compared to others asus lappy, can anyone tell me the ODD is Blu-ray Reader or Writter?

This is the photo of my N55SF, overall it looks ok, but i hate the speaker grill...


some stress test info to share:



the temp is quite high, maybe i7 is really hot when full speed, haha.
but it passes without slowing the processor.

The thing that confused me, Nero says that its Blu-ray Rewritter!
but i dont have blank blu-ray disc to test it out...

The speaker Really ROCKS! it sounds much better, for a notebook, its great.
it sounds like some small 2.1 system.

The palm rest there is rubber-like plastic, feels like rubber, but hard as plastic.

For media key, those key are hard to press a bit than normal key, u should able to avoid mistype.

Before i buy it, i also think that it is just a blu-ray reader, but it supprise me when nero says it is writter. i would like to test it out if i got a blank blu-ray disc haha.

Yea, 1 Ram only.

With Subwoofer, Lite Bass and better vocal, especially when u see movie or drama.
without sub, sounds ok, just like N53SV speaker.

ohh ya, very loud

actually ur windows do have something like this:


that lets u to force select which card to use when launching a game or app.

i will try to test it out, but i need time to do it....

my n55sf i7 is gloss screen, im starting my battery test now~ with 70% screen brightness + online + listening music with the sub on~

windows says it will last for 3hr 40min, but i will test and see whether it is real or not.

Okok, but do give me some time, haha.

Battery Test Results!
around 3Hr 15min with 70% screen brightness, 60% audio volume(listening song with subwoofer) + Online FB, lowyat +taobao etc.

that is Entertainment mode, i will try Power Saving mode tml, ^^
actually i got se video, haha.

u guys wan me to do max battery life test? that means min screen brightness?

hey, the things that u guys waiting for!


I test it with Furmark + prime 95 to put both GT555M and Core-i7 to max.
the results is quite hot, but the Speed doesn't slow down! keeps at 2.0Ghz.
graphic max temp is 86'c processor goes to 95'c.
quite satisfied with the results, because it does not have slow down issue.

ohh ya, im doing this with my lappy ON MY LEG...

no cooler, just fan only, and i think my leg covers a little bit vents, but my table is full and i have no place to put ...

palm rest got heat, warm than ur hand temp, but still acceptable for me.

wow, the amp for subwoofer is 11W, no wonder it affects the battery remaining time. but it doesn't sounds 11W anyway, maybe the speaker size is small.

the drum sounds solid and loud, great song to test the bass.
Its loud for me, can fill the room easily, and it doesn't have the N53SV resonance problem.
Full Volume also NO sound distortion! Dont worry, Its the best speaker i have ever heard in Notebooks.

ahh, i would like to have this song~!

I bet u guys will be stunned when using the sub to see movie, the sub makes the voice so real.
and once u connect the sub on, u will not get it off. poisoning~ haha

i have limitted time when doing this, quite busy these day, i will do it when i free^^
but the temp come stable for more than 2 min before i take the screenshot.
