![]() ![]() I am a desktop junky with the need for gaming horsepower and really dont travel or need a laptop i do however utilize this as a roaming(friends and families homes) gaming machine which it works very well for and you must bring the large power brick with you…(i hit the mouse pad two times while typing that last sentence)and i have medium sized hands. A word of warning my right hands thumb always bumps the mouse pad and takes the focus off of what im typing this is a real nuisance and i have had to consciously keep my hand titled to the right.this is more annoying than a problem to me i am very forgiving and this is a reason this is my first and probably my last laptop ever. thanks ryan and mattĪlso to anyone who buys this laptop it can be upgraded to 16GB of ram…which i did for a mere 60 bucks from amazon….Virtual Machines, Hello. Not sure if anyone notices the abundance of these misleading, non informal sites but i do. Also is refreshing in a world of websites with articles that read like ad space with lame marketing terminology copied straight from the manufactures website. this is my first laptop and i enjoy the power and versatility. ![]() I think Matt Smith the author spoke graciously and precisely about the asus laptop. Before I bought this laptop no one reviewed it besides a couple of mentions in forums. thanks for providing it to the community of hardware nerds like myself, and for someone to finally review my asus n53s laptop properly. To ryan shrout….This week in computer hardware is a great podcast. ![]() Install the drivers found at your manufacturers website. This glitch means the N53 is the only laptop I’ve ever tested that performed better in real-world usage than it did during the Battery Eater Reader’s Test. I had to rely on the standard Window’s power saver scheme instead, and this provided somewhat less impressive battery life. The software is extremely aggressive, and as a result the N53 refused to run our standard Battery Eater benchmark. ![]() These results do come with a small cavet, however, courtesy of the ASUS software used to achieve them. When these two enhancements combine, the result is battery life that exceeds what you’d normally expect from a powerful laptop. But Intel also deserves credit for creating a mobile quad-core that’s miserly about power. The N53 comes with Nvidia’s Optimus graphics switching technology, which turns off the discrete GPU when it is not required and conserves power, and this no doubt has an impact on the battery life. That’s not jaw-dropping by today’s standards, but for a modern quad-core laptop with discrete graphics, that’s great. However, in real-world usage with ASUS’s energy saver software set to battery stretch, I was able to achieve just over 4 hours of battery life. I wasn’t expecting much from the N53 in terms of battery life, as it comes equipped with a dinky 48Wh battery pack. You may not need that brick as frequently as you’d think, however. ![]()
