Awesome deal, great speakers, solid build quality,
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.

|Solid Laptop,
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) 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 <$700 range only come with the slower PC3-8500 ram.
The speakers on this thing are way better than my last two laptops. It puts out better sound at 25% than they did at 100% volume.
The wireless adapter in my last laptop (a Lenovo Thinkpad) had all kinds of trouble staying connected to wireless networks. So far I haven’t had any such trouble with the adapter in the ASUS. Range, speed and reliability are all good.
The battery life is good so far and the bottom doesn’t get as hot as other laptops I’ve had. So mobility is good, though I do prefer 14″ laptops over 15″.
My one real gripe is the keyboard. It has a totally different feel from other keyboards I’ve used for some reason and it’s taking me forever to get accustomed to it. Since I type for 4+ hours every day this is a bit of a hassle for me (slows me down several words per minute), but I’ll deal with it because this was such a good deal in every other way.
I’ve never owned an ASUS system before this, but I have used ASUS components in desktop computers I’ve built. The quality and durability of their components is exceptional. So I’m confident I’ll be using this computer for years to come.

|ASUS N53SV-EH71 15.6-Inch Versatile Entertainment Laptop (Silver Aluminum,
This machine is superb, my son uses it for gaming and thanks to it we’ve foregone the use of desktop computers. The price is one of the best aspects, providing great performance for a minimal price. The sound system is also great, so, that I use the built in speakers instead of external speakers. All the pros advertised are actually true, I’m rather comfortable with the purchase. I really recommend this laptop for anyone whose needs involve work, multimedia and gaming.
