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. The fan is audible in a quiet room, but the noise has a smooth and even temperament. But while the N53 is not a quite laptop, I don’t think it’s fair to call it loud, either. As you might expect, this results in noticeable fan noise. The N53 manages to keep cool through the use of a big, beefy fan vent on the left side of the chassis which exhausts hot air with enthusiasm. These low temperatures are no feat of magic, however. Internally, the N53 idled as low as 38 degrees Celsius and never shot above 54 degrees Celsius at load. My every effort to generate significant warmth from the laptop failed – even extended stress testing of the CPU and GPU resulted in only moderate warmth along the laptop’s bottom and the palmrest. While a 15.6” chassis is large, the quad-core processor and Nvidia GPU in the N53 are a challenge to keep cool at high levels of load.Įven so, the N53 was a cool customer.
This is one of the only laptops with audio quality that would be sufficient for my needs if I wasn’t allowed to buy a desktop PC.Īlthough not a gaming or workstation laptop, the hardware in the N53 is nothing to laugh at, as you’ll see in the performance section of this review. But that’s much better than what laptops normally provide, and it means the N53 can actually fill a room with music that isn’t distorted beyond identification. This does require some perspective the audio is on par with what you’d expect from a $50 pair of desktop speakers. Music has a clear, crisp and balanced sound, and distortion only becomes evident at high volume on bass-heavy tracks. I was a bit caught off-guard when I found that the audio pouring from the ASUS N53 is quite good. At first, you might think this to be a built-in cheese greater, but it is in fact ASUS’s premium sound system known as Bang & Olusfen ICEpower.Īs a laptop reviewer, I’ve learned long ago that laptop manufactures are often happy to slap a label on a completely average audio solution. Right below the unappealing display you’ll find an expanse of silver dotted with tiny holes.
