ASUS A53SV-XE1 15.6-Inch Versatile Entertainment Laptop - Black




If you are looking at this laptop, you're most likely sorting out a similar kind of laptop I was: a powerful, attractive, quality laptop that does not break the bank. i'm happy to mention the Asus A53sv-xe1 meets these expectations nicely.

Design is prime notch. The A53 is enticing while not wanting garish. The black lid encompasses a faint, attractive interlocking cell kind of pattern on it. If that is not your thing the look is faint enough that it most likely will not trouble you too much. The lid feels nice and sturdy, pushing on it doesn't seem to have an effect on the screen. The chiclet keyboard feels comfy, typing is a breeze. The keys push down with a satisfying feel. Controls in games feel swish. The touchpad seems decent and i don't mind using it however I prefer a true mouse. the entire keyboard space is made with aluminum, much like the Macbook pro and looks/feels very nice. Nice quality. The A53 also feels pretty light, and it's a breeze to carry it around.

Processing and graphics performance is superb, as are often expected with a Sandy Bridge i7 processor, six gigs of DDR3 RAM, and an NVIDIA 540m with Optimus. The i7 handles most processing tasks with impunity. Games-wise, the A53 runs Crysis two, Empire: Total War, and Battlefield: unhealthy Company two smoothly at medium graphics settings (High for Crysis2). whereas enjoying, the fan noise is noticeable, however not annoyingly loud. The aluminum hand rest space felt quite cool whereas enjoying. the warmth management techniques that Asus uses seem to be pretty effective. The onerous drive is what holds the A53 back. The distinction in speed between its 5400 RPM HDD and a 7200 RPM HDD is noticable, and performance suffers.

Battery life is decent however not exceptional. you can expect around four hours of battery lifetime of traditional laptop use. alittle positive is that in my expertise Asus laptops tend to own large power bricks, the A53 encompasses a nice sized one.

The speakers seem to be pretty good, that is kind of unusual for a laptop in my expertise. Nice and loud.

One negative of this laptop is that it comes with a considerable quantity of bloatware. If this bothers you you may need to pay some time uninstalling all of it, and should need to download some drivers from Asus's web site to urge some laptop functions operating once more if you do.

In conclusion I even have to mention the Asus A53 is a superb laptop for its price. In my opinion its positives of excellent design, performance, and price far outweigh its negatives of bloatware and 5400 rpm hdd. Asus once more proves it's one among the highest brands within the business. However, those that might prefer a faster harddrive and additional ports, as well as a USB 3.0 port, may want to consider the Asus N53sv-xe1 for around 90 greenbacks additional.
