Cheap ASUS N53SV-EH71 15.6-Inch Versatile Entertainment Laptop (Silver

Customer Ratings:

The quality of this laptop far surpasses its price. In addition to having great specs, this laptop is also really well-built. The fans are silent and efficient. The laptop barely gets warm even under during gaming. The laptop chassis is solid and compact. Th brushed aluminum cover is elegant and does not suffer from fingerprint build-up.

Unlike the earlier version which I returned (n53sv-xe1), EH71 does not have its predecessor's disappointing keyboard flexes. The screen is vivid and bright, but the viewing angle can be a bit better. My only complaint at the moment is the huge, easily scratched plastic screen bezel. I decided not to go with the high resolution model because the text gets a bit too small.

Also, I was amazed at the battery life of this laptop. Using power-saving mode, this laptop lasted 5-6 hours.

It's unfortunate that they moved the price up to $940. It was $690 when I ordered it and was an awesome deal at that price. I didn't look at too many laptops in the $900 range, but it's probably still a reasonably good deal at that price.

The system runs current games smoothly on "high" settings, and games over a year old run smoothly on the highest settings. So this won't cut it for a die-hard gamer, but it's great for casual gaming.

I quickly upgraded the ram to the 16GB max with 2 of these Crucial 8GB Kit (4GBx2), 204-pin SODIMM, DDR3 PC3-10600 Memory Module (CT2KIT51264BC1339) (totaling 4 sticks of 4GB). Swapping out the ram took all of 2 minutes. I work from home online and often have several programs running and over 100 tabs open in my web browser. So having enough memory to run smoothly for hours with a heavy load without having to reboot is awesome.

NOTE: Amazon's specs lack detail here. They should point out that the ram is PC3-10600. A lot of laptops in the
