Asus N53SV

I found these reviews so helpful while I was shopping that I felt compelled to write a review myself. Overall I am pleased with my purchase. 95% of my computer use is for browsing internet or spreadsheet/word processing applications, although I do watch an occasional movie. So far, there has been nothing that this computer could not handle (it is very fast). The quick boot time (26 seconds to password prompt) is nice. The laptop runs cool and I've never overheated. The LED light indicating whether integrated graphics or the Nvidia card is being used is nice. The keyboard is a good size and works smoothly. I would prefer a full size number pad instead of the skinny keys. The touch pad takes some getting used to when typing, I find that sometimes I inadverdantly change the location of the cursor with my palm while I'm typing. I wanted something that could potentially handle 3D building modeling programs (i.e. Revit) and I thought the expandability to 16 GB RAM, along with the high-mid range graphics card and the core i7 would allow decent performance, although I have not yet had the opportunity to test with BIM. There are two things that have disappointed me. Apparently the hands-free bluetooth feature will not operate while the wireless LAN is operating. The other problem-which could be potentially serious-is that the screen will sometimes flash on and off while on battery power. So far this has just been annoying and I don't think it's worth returning the laptop for. The two-year warranty makes me a little more comfortable with the situation.

I bought this for my wife for Christmas last year. Yanked the HD out and put an SSD in it. Upgraded the ram to 16GB (I know, overkill). . I had my own Win7x64 home dvd, so I did a clean fresh install (using the key that came with the laptop). Popped...

I replaced an ASUS UL50v with this laptop. I felt the UL50 was the best laptop I've ever seen or owned, far better than any other PC out there, arguably better than a Mac Powerbook.

Purchased December 2011.

So I've had my computer 6 months and it stops charging. Never mind that three keys started sticking about a month after I started using it and I didn't spill anything on it. The computer is okay and runs nice, but that's not all there is when buying a...

Great product for the price. Enough power and speed to complete most if not all gaming formats. Excellent package. This was a gift for my son , he can't live without it now.
