I played skyrim on this machine and it plays very well(smooth framerates) with everything maxed out with default resolution of 1366×768 side by side with my 6GB DDR2ram, gtx570, 2.5″ velociraptor drive) I think my asus laptop played it a bit more smooth…I am beginning to think my q9450 is showing its age but not sure because i had to reinstall due to strange popping with my audio and extreme stuttering with video playback …Im not sure what the problem was but after a clean reinstall and more scrutiny to my tinkering habits my desktop is running fine but i havent retested skyrim due to a lack of interest of that game…I cant stop playing team fortress 2 lol I love valve. 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.

But even in this large category we have a wide range of products while the recently reviewed Toshiba C655 and ASUS G53 have the same display size, they couldn’t be more different otherwise.Īnd now we come to the ASUS N53, a laptop that seems from afar to the ultimate compromise – a laptop that may not be the best at anything but offer a lot of everything. Rather, it’s because many people don’t move their laptops very far very often. There is a reason why 15.6” laptops are the most popular and, contrary to the belief of some tech-heads, it isn’t because consumers are stupid. Powerful processors and GPUs can be stuffed inside, but this increases weight and cost while it reduces battery life. Laptops can be made smaller, but this can make the user interface uncomfortable, and limits the hardware inside. Batteries can be made larger to provide better portability, but this increases weight and size. Despite continuing reductions in processor power draw and the physical size of hardware, there are still trade-offs that must be made. The usage of aluminum on the N53 has a dark gunmetal tint – like the ASUS U33JC Bamboo laptop we reviewed some time ago, the N53 goes for elegance rather than flash.
