Asus N90Sv review: Asus N90Sv

Asus N90Sv

Attractive design; Blu-ray combo drive; nice, large keyboard; great sound quality.

Average performance, battery life; multimedia laptop without multimedia controls; huge.

It's not an ideal multimedia laptop, but the Asus N90Sv A2 is a good-looking, well-appointed desktop replacement.

Asus N90SV-A2

The Asus N90SV-A2 desktop replacement laptop is roughly the size of two 15-inch notebooks turned vertically and placed side by side. Movies and games look great on the large (18.4-inch diagonal), bright, full-HD-resolution (1920 by 1080) screen. (Asus...

Giant HD screen ; Tons of hard drive space onboard

Bulky design ; Mediocre performance for its class

The N90SV-A2 has an appealing price, but I'd rather have a faster chip set, faster RAM, and a faster GPU than so much hard drive space. The screen is impressively large, but not great in color or contrast. And the overall notebook design is uninspired,...

ASUS N90SV-A2 Laptop Review

Giant HD screen ; Tons of hard drive space onboard

Bulky design ; Mediocre performance for its class

ASUS appears to offer a lot of value with the N90SV-A2, but when you look deeper you can spot the cut corners.

ASUS N90SV-A2 Review

Inside the N90 the pinstripe black finish continues around the palmrest and keyboard, transitioning to solid black directly around the keyboard and media keys. I was hoping for touch sensitive media keys on a notebook at this price range, but these...

Excellent 18.4" 1080P screen ; Good gaming performance ; Responsive touchpad

Missing eSATA ; Mediocre battery life

Gaming performance is slightly below full-on hardcore gaming notebooks, but still very respectable. In Call of Duty: World at War with high detail settings the notebook handled 1080P resolution at 16 to 20FPS. Lowering the resolution down to 720P,...

Review: ASUS N90Sv-A2 18.4-Inch Laptop

ASUS is probably the most well known for their motherboards and netbooks. So when they came out with the very large N90Sv 18″ multimedia laptop I was curious about how it would fit in with the rest of their products. When ASUS asked me to review the...

After all is said and done I think this fits nicely into its niche, which is a non portable, non gaming, multimedia laptop. With the addition of a built-in tuner, IR port, and a remote control it would almost be perfect. I say almost because the price...

ASUS N90Sv-A2 Multimedia Notebook

If you want a notebook with a huge screen and decent performance for a variety of tasks, ASUS' N90Sv may be perfect for you.

Asus N90SV-A2 review

Some of the Asus N90SV-A2's bulk results from dubious design choices. For instance, the bezel on the sides of the screen is an inch thick, and a lot of unused space surrounds the keyboard.

The Asus N90SV-A2 has an appealing price, but we'd rather have a faster chip set, faster RAM, and a faster GPU than so much hard drive space. The screen is impressively large, but not great in colour or contrast. And the overall notebook design is...

Score adjustment

I will point out right away that I have not owned this laptop. However, I am an ASUS fan and have owned and fixed many of theirs. I want to point out that the previous person had close to no idea what he/she was talking about, and I am bothered that...

Interesting processor choice of dual 2.8. Good for high power calculation ; Nice HDD combo allows for RAID, but be sure you are confident on how to. Raiding is a bit harder than it appears ; BD Combo is always an excellent add to an entertainment...

The screen is large. That is both a plus and a minus. Extra use of battery and really unwieldy. The dual hard drive will also kill the battery along with the integrated graphics card, so despite the 8-cell, expect at max 3 hours on idle and 2 playing a...

Love Asus

I can't figure out why people are bashing asus support. Any laptop you get will have problems. I bought a G2s 2 1/2 years ago. The graphic card went out after about 6 months, they replaced it in a week, no charge, even paid shipping. My dell I had...

Great laptop. If your looking for something to carry around, forget it, this thing is a desktop replacement. I live on a Sailboat and wanted a desktop, but due to power limits I got this. The WVGA screen is probaly better, but a lot more expensive,...

I do agree that they should have put a mat finish or something else that wouldn't need cleaning so much. It is a fingerprint magnet, but I can live with it. Battery life is bad, but it's not designed for that really, with an 18.5 inch screen, you have...
