ASUS N53SN Laptop Unboxing and first look

[lamiac2411]

You have an EPIC fucking mouth son!!

[BigCheex]

Did you ever get BF3 or Arma to work?

[GuideToUsing]

@BigCheex Yes I managed to get BF3 running on a mix of Medium/High settings fairly well actually. Sorry for no video, I just haven't had time in the last 3 months for a really long video.

[BigCheex]

@GuideToUsing No worries, thanks for the quick reply.

[GuideToUsing]

@ulquiorra2129 Sorry for the insanely late reply, but I would recommend the N55SF, it comes with a more powerful GPU which is more important for gaming, any CPU's that come with that laptop will suffice for almost all gaming.

What about the speakers? Have you used them yet? I love my music and it's considerably a big selling point for me. I'm only looking for something that can fill a small room whilst still giving out good quality.

I've heard a lot about the Bang & Olufsen (whatever they are) speakers.

[GuideToUsing]

@jrand63 The speakers are honestly fantastic.

They are the BEST speakers I have ever had in a laptop. They sound great and they are nice and loud.

They are even better then the speakers inside my HP laptop which I considered to be pretty good.

They may not be the best, but gosh they are definitely pretty good. Very happy with them and I was surprised when I heard them. :)

@GuideToUsing Oh wow, that's awesome! Any idea as to how your fps were? What settings were you playing on? Think I could max it?

[GuideToUsing]

@CertainAffinity7 FPS was averaging around the mid 40's on the recommended settings detected by the game (High for almost everything, turned off AA myself, left the rest of the settings as-is).

Definitely playable, no complaints really. :)

[CertainAffinity7]

@GuideToUsing Oh, and two more things (sorry), what's the battery life like? Should I keep it plugged into a power source and use it at a desk most of the time? And how heavy/portable is it?

Thanks again, that's it :)

[CertainAffinity7]

think it'll run skyrim well? Guess i'll find out in the next video maybe?

[GuideToUsing]

@CertainAffinity7 Sorry that it's taking me so long to release the next video, and I can't say yet because I haven't tried.

I have too much college work. :(

[GuideToUsing]

@CertainAffinity7 Hi again, I tested it with Skyrim today and it works absolutely fine! :)

Certainly a good performer for that at high settings.

[coolbadman1000]

i am going to buy this but i want to no if it will run games like arma 2 and bf2 project reality

[GuideToUsing]

@coolbadman1000 I'm working on a video and it should be up within the next few days, sadly I have college and can't finish it right now. :(

I'll install Battlefield and Arma II asap (within the next few days)

4:17 ... the best

[Soundofstereos]

I plan on buying this laptop from the same retailer (Dick Smith). Great video, can't wait for the next.

[GuideToUsing]

@Soundofstereos I think you'll really enjoy it. :) Thanks!

Next video will be about overall performance of this laptop.

[Soundofstereos]

@GuideToUsing Sweet, looking forward to that. What's the i5 2410M like? I've seen a lot of models using the i7 2630QM and I was wondering if the i5 is enough. :S

[Soundofstereos]

@GuideToUsing Oh, and I forgot to mention, how is the build quality/ventilation? Does it overheat, and is it easy to take a part to clean or replace parts? Thanks. :)

[GuideToUsing]

@Soundofstereos The i5 2410M is pretty good, much better than I thought! The 2410M will do pretty much anything you ask of it at a decent speed be that video production or gaming etc.. The CPU isn't the bottleneck in this system for almost any task pretty much.

Build quality is Very good as per usual when it comes to ASUS. :) Cooling is definitely good, effective and quiet. The Keyboard has a little bit of flex. Replacing parts means removing some rubber footing though :(

[coolbadman1000]

@GuideToUsing will it be able to run arma 2 and bf3 an big games like that
