15.6 inch Entertainment Notebook
The Asus N53SV has some excellent features. The price performance ratio is nice, and it's never been whacked with an ugly stick. If the minor keyboard issues don't bother you, it's worth a look.

The balancing act between excellent performance reserves and nevertheless acceptable emissions combined with an adequate battery life is accomplished with Nvidia's Optimus. It's a pity that our pre sample was only equipped with an ordinary display. According to Asus this will be improved before sale. The price with which the notebook will be launched onto the market will ultimately be the decisive aspect. If it remains within the range of 1000 euro, the N53SV could turn out to be a much desired all-round laptop.

The Asus N53SV-A1 desktop replacement laptop has more power than most people know what to do with, armed with a quad-core Core i7 processor and Nvidia's latest graphics gem.
