Introduction
With great pleasure I use since October of this year, the Asus K53SV-SX380V. Now in the first instance, there was no need for me at all to buy a laptop, but what is it was a good purchase. For the record, this is my first experience with a product from Asus. I am as they say in English "flabbergasted". I heard a lot of good noises about this brand and their laptops and then the BCC is a nice amount for early, the knot was soon cut. A smile that I still carry on my face. Above average specs helped, in addition to the competitive price, For what has this 15.6 "Asusje namely under the hood for the record: - Intel Core i7 2630QM @ 2,0 Ghz (Turbo @ 2,9 Ghz) - NVIDIA GeForce GT540M (2GB DDR3 @ 672 MHz Core & 900 MHz Memory) - 6GB DDR3 (SODIMM @ 1333 Mhz) - 500GB Seagate 5400rpm HDD This as points for this review are important for a complete list:. Pricewatch: Asus K53SV-SX380V Why I only do it when the aforementioned 4 points held? First, I did not want to be down here scruff (all ) and secondly, these four points it not I, to say the least, most have them sit messing. Haha, half not, right now, for a few. things I have already changed / ge-overclocked etc ect but more on this later (tjah as tweakert the blood is thicker than water). First use The first thing I noticed was the text in the box: "Printed with SOY INK." It should be clear, the printing on the box is the same plant as that tofu, soy sauce and feed is created. A nice thought. After a wild uitpaksessie the box with all booklets were (text explaining Asus Worldwide Waranty ed (registration for this will be asked!)) Thrown up in my closet and I was left with a laptop and charger. And now comes one of the points of the laptop that I found literally after first use "AFFENGEIL". The sound, which then, the power that you have to put the design, the indicator ... oh my effing God, the on / off button. yeah That's right, the f * cking ON / OFF button! No, the Altec Lansing speakers or chiclet keyboard and multi-gesture touchpad and aluminum case I left lying on the left. The on / off button on the Asus K53 is simply the shizzle, no discussion. Point. Anyway, after I "affengeile" on / off button pressed it took less than 20 minutes before the Asus was completely ready for use. One of the first pop-ups you get in front of you is asked to register. Asus And so I did. Serial number + e-mail and you can specify the next 12 months using the Global Waranty. So if you happen to be in North Korea is communist and one has your Asus bombed, do not worry, Asus shoot your help: That this happened on one never, but it's a comforting thought to know that your hardware-related problems literally can be helped. everywhere The first thing I did after the laptop had finished installation was to create the system recovery discs. A program of Asus here to ask after you've booted. Know, you need at least 5 DVD's needed for this. I made the restore disks without all Windows updates. Actually convenient to download and then make the restore disks this first advance, but this made little difference to me. Note that the number of DVDs on walks to 6 pieces if you first download all Windows updates. The backup takes over 2 hours, so connecting to AC power is a must! Asus K53SV-SX380V 2.0 As I said earlier, I downloaded any updates before I made the backup disks. I had something else in store. Coincidentally, I had somewhere a Kingston 96GB SSD are sitting gathering dust in a desktop that was already a while inactive. So a format and a hard drive transplant later I was reinstalling, 3 hours after purchase. My Asus again Delicious. What does an SSD with a laptop / desktop I do not have to explain. That my Asus now felt like the wrong all the time warp speed was a logical consequence. Afterwards I have tests conducted with regard to the closing / start time in seconds using a restart timer: - Seagate 500GB 5400rpm HDD @ 74.7 GB: 129 sec. - Kingston V +100 96GB SSD @ 57,9 GB: 24 sec. Used Timer taken from the following website: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/720-restart-time.html Now something in context. The SSD is now fuller, because now there's 74.7 GB of data. Weird huh? The HDD has also involve as much data. The data on the HDD is in fact cloned. Whether this affects the speed of the HDD, keine ahnung, but it may perhaps mean that others will achieve if not faster. Slower times Along with Steam, BitTorrent and many other programs that I leave to start at boot-up, the restart time + / - 32 sec. Just a uistapje to something other than the restart time, for what to me has left a big question mark is the Using Windows Explorer. Whether this was due to the Kingston or the SATA port on the Asus, no idea. But a few days after I had installed the SSD I noticed that Windows Explorer idiot often crashed. Scrolling through photos / documents already made sure that Windows Explorer itself concluded prior to " Windows Explorer has stopped working, it is searched for a solution . " Everything then recovered immediately, but it was incredibly annoying. A few days the cat out of the tree looked, no effect, it continued to occur. Windows once installed no effect. Windows Explorer kept crashing. Ok, old hard drive in it, nothing wrong. WTF? Ok, but then again the SSD in it. Double WTF?? Problem solved!! Very weird if you ask me. But since 6 weeks I have * no * knocks off more crashes. Asus K53SV-SX380V 2.1 A minor upgrade I did with the internal memory. There is standard 6GB DDR3 internal memory in the laptop, consisting of a strip of Elpida 4GB and 2GB Hynix strip. Both clocked @ 1333MHz. Since I do a lot of foto-/videobewerking, 6GB was enough, but I felt it was not good and I would rather have two memory trips of the same brokerage. Introducing 2 x 4GB ICIDU. Why ICIDU? It was the memory trips that I could get ready the fastest. MyCom had them in stock and immediately I did not want to wait for a Corsair, Kingston or Crucial rods. Now I use Firefox which the memory used as a buffer. Kheb everything to stand, too much, but I went from 76% back to just under 50%. In addition, the Windows Experience Index went from 7.5 to 7.6. No extreme difference, but feel it is just nice to know that you get the most out of your laptop it gets (8GB is a maximum for this motherboard) The GT540M All this regard upgrade you could do with hardware components. Asus also now appears to be graphics cards. Producer The reverence comes from NVIDIA, but perhaps it can be. Fun with a sauce of Asus over it Now I have experience in overclocking a graphics card. The MSI GTX460 Twin Frozr II from my old desktop I have already subjected to overclock session with reasonable results. But what I could pick out the GT540M I find almost unbelievable. Or I have a sample of a sample, or NVIDIA does anyone heavily in the pooper by supplying the factory. Already onderclockte tickets Anyway, in the base, just a simple equation: - GeForce GT 540M: Core 672, Shader 1344, Memory 1800 (900 x 2) 128 Bus; Watt TDP 32-35; GF108 - GeForce GT 550M: Core 740, Shader 1480; Memory 1800 (900 x 2) 128 Bus; Watt TDP 32-35; GF108 - GeForce GT 555M: Core 590, Shader 1180, Memory 1800 (900 x 2) 192 Bus; Watt TDP 30-35; GF106 All GPUs are baked on 40nm DDR3 memory. The biggest difference between the three lies in the fact that the GT550M is only clocked higher than the GT540M and the GT555 only has a larger memory bus (I say it right?) Than the other two. See below for a comparison of all mobile GPUs from the 500 series: http://www.geforce.com/Ha...force-gt-540m/performance NVIDIA has in this list mean results taken from 3DMark Vantage. From the little table you can roughly infer that an "average" GT540M a score of 4500 points has a GT550M which sits on the 5000 border. The rates listed above are not set those values for nothing. According to the manufacturer, did you at that speed, the best performance / economy. Very handy if you are running on battery, but with the 120W power supply once connected ... haha ... Let the OC'ing beginning! Now I've done several runs with 3DMark Vantage, 11 in total. The first run I did without the power supply connected to Power4Gear High Performance. Nice name. Say preprogrammed modes of Asus itself. Besides, you also have Power4Gear Entertainment, Quit Office and Battery Saving. Only ones I use are High Performance, Entertainment, say the "Balanced" Windows and Battery Saving. The modes speak for themselves. But again, go back to 3DMark Vantage. 's score for the 1st run @ 672/900: 4469 http://3dmark.com/3dmv/3595691 Best clever if you ask me. The score that NVIDIA itself specify on their website to be confirmed about this. Now it was time to connect the power supply and start the real work. Used OC program is it known MSI Afterburner. As appropriate with a graphics card, is it best to increase with the first core clock step by step. Values I started with the 2nd run directly at 750/900. Why 750/900? Simple. The GT550M can already easily 740/900 on, just like the GT540M same code, GF108, what could go wrong here? 's score for the 2nd run @ 750/900: 5116 http://3dmark.com/3dmv/3589944 suspicious number if you ask me. Looks like the value that NVIDIA had been given a standard GT550M yourself. Benchmark ran flawlessly, no malformations / artifacts or whatever. Time to speed always perform a step. 's score for the 3rd run @ 775/900: 5233 http://3dmark.com/3dmv/3589958 The score for the 4th run @ 785/900: 5286 http: / / 3dmark.com/3dmv/3592721 The score for the 5th run @ 800/900: 5337 http://3dmark.com/3dmv/3592741 The score for the 6th run @ 825/900: 5452 http:// 3dmark.com/3dmv/3592761 Temperatures after this run to be honest, after this point I started him to squeeze a bit. The temperature increased from 80 C to the graka, as well as for the processor. The TDP of the Intel Core i7 2630QM is 100 C, there was still room, but for example, my old MSI GTX460 I know that 80 C on the high side. Before I went, I decided to look for a laptop cooler. Say hello to the Logitech Cooling Pad N200. USB powered, plug & play. Time to move on with the OC'en. 's score for the 7th run @ 835/900: 5517 http://3dmark.com/3dmv/3592786 The score for the 8th run @ 850/900: 5538 http: / / 3dmark.com/3dmv/3592803 As can be seen, there is little difference. during the last two runs While there were books, between 825 and 835 some profit there to pick up a lot less. Between 835 and 850 I decided to overclock the core to 847 to now move forward with it some memory back The score for the 9th run @ 847/933: 5636 http://3dmark.com/3dmv/3592822 Look at almost 100 points there nibbled Time to make some throw at. 's score for the 10th run @ 847/967: 5677 http://3dmark.com/3dmv/3592840 What at first seemed like the right direction to go with a plus of 100 ~ I was disappointed with the 10th run. Only 41 points there? Additionally it was something of 2:30 and I did not feel like getting it step by step to carry on and wait for 3DMark Vantage. I had promised myself to sleep so I have to do and then go to sleep a run. In the last 4 runs the N200 had proved himself. The temperature was kept below 80 C, both for the graka as the processor. I was thinking to myself, "F * ck it, if the graka can not handle crashes the driver then again I still can continue." For the last time I turned off all unnecessary applications, cleaned up 's desktop, and I put in Advanced Settings' t System Menu settings "for best performance". It was time for a suicide run. 's score for the 11th run @ 847/1066: 5902 http://3dmark.com/3dmv/3592853 I was literally staring in disbelief at my screen. I was as they say in 't Czech "zmatený". Could this be right? No, it was real. Gone was my sleep. I glanced back to the highest score. OMFG. That was 5902!!! I was not expecting much, but inene the highest score in 3DMark Vantage, I did not expect he-le-fold. Say one of the reasons I have given. 5 stars for this laptop under 't heading "Performance" 847/1066 is not a value that you can run, but dayumn! 24/7 Just ff the highest score of all laptops with Intel Core i7 2630QM and GT540M. Asus, I take my hat off for you. *** EDIT 9-7-2012 *** Since I now have the laptop already a few months in my possession, but also because Nvidia new / better drivers has delivered yet again a suicide-run done. There have been several people who have their set-up to higher altitudes managed to push ... in the meantime, but there is always top boss boss 's processor temperature reached 92 C, eight degrees higher and the CPU would have been reached max . But nonetheless a crush of old scores, as well as the (now) old top score of 6027. Ladies and gentlemen, see here (i nsert angels singing in the background ): The score for the 2nd suicide run @ 847/1066: 6079 http://3dmark.com/3dmv/4180170 So it really pays to install new drivers . An improvement of the old score with 3%! In addition, a boost Asus. It just shows that the use of their components in this laptop provides a continuous outcome in terms of speed and reliability. Asus, once again, I take my hat off for you. Comparisons & complaining Technically, it is a strong product. There is already a newer of the Asus K53SV-SX838V: Pricewatch: Asus K53SV-SX838V The main differences are: - Intel Core i7 2670QM vs. Intel Core i7 2630QM (2.0 GHz ~ 2.9 GHz vs. 2.2Ghz ~ 3.1GHz) , - 8GB DDR3 vs. 6GB DDR3 internal memory; - 640GB HDD vs. 500GB HDD; - 1x USB 3.0 The first three differences are still incalculable / bridge, but USB 3.0 is the K53SV-SX838V a very complete laptop. Anyway, that Asus would come here with two months I could not know in advance. But purely looked at the specs are both rete fast laptops. However, one salient detail, the K53SV-SX838V does have less graphics memory. 1GB DDR3 2GB DDR3 instead. Still something to be satisfied if I would take (without laptop), now considering I'd go for 100% of the K53SV-SX838V. But with the results achieved in 't mind with this K53SV-SX380V, no way. Then but no USB 3.0. Is there really nothing to complain about K53SV-SX380V? Well, unfortunately. They are not so distracting that I have the tendency to throw the laptop out the window yet. Something I was annoyed at the beginning were the positions of the volume knob. To do it you need the volume omlaagg FN + F11 to use button and FN + F12 to increase the volume. Why somewhere in the middle of the keyboard? Why not in the places of the up / down / left / right buttons? Is much more intuitive. Same for the backlight. FN + F5 to dim and FN + F6 to make it brighter. Now you learn to live with it, but it could be better. Something that later emerges it's chiclet keyboard. Ok, the tap delicious, as long as you do not leave long fingernails grow. Now I do not always have a nail clipper in the neighborhood, but because it chiclet keyboard is so low you glide over the keyboard as it were. But only if your nails are neat and well trimmed. And last but not least, the resolution of the screen. Now I knew there was a 1366 x 768 resolution screen would sit in, 1600 x 900 would have been better. Yeah, but I had to spend more. The N series from Asus has Full HD screens. For those who can not live with a reflective glossy screen, go for the Asus N series. Mat, Full HDD, but also more expensive. Conclusion To conclude the story. equally The Asus K53SV-SX380V everyone will be a great purchase. The i7 in it is a combination icm 56160 mWh battery (and in my case) an SSD creates a spell of more than 5 hours. Solid housing, quiet, cool, and then also an on / off button of epic proportions. Or any other 380'jes well as good overclocking with the GT540M, no idea. With a view to the future, I do not expect that this laptop will degrade quickly. If their products Asus gives an equally good life as overclocking potential, I think I still have a lot of pleasure with this laptop. *** UPDATE 1: Added pictures, December 4 *** *** UPDATE 2: More pictures added , December 9 *** *** UPDATE 3: Top score in 3DMark Vantage recaptures *** Say hello to the Logitech Cooling Pad N200.

Conclusion To conclude the story. equally The Asus K53SV-SX380V everyone will be a great purchase. The i7 in it is a combination icm 56160 mWh battery (and in my case) an SSD creates a spell of more than 5 hours. Solid housing, quiet, cool, and then also an on / off button of epic proportions. Or any other 380'jes well as good overclocking with the GT540M, no idea. With a view to the future, I do not expect that this laptop will degrade quickly. If their products Asus gives an equally good life as overclocking potential, I think I still have a lot of pleasure with this laptop.
With great pleasure I use since October of this year, the Asus K53SV-SX380V. Now in the first instance, there was no need for me at all to buy a laptop, but what is it was a good purchase. For the record, this is my first experience with a product from Asus. I am as they say in English "flabbergasted". I heard a lot of good noises about this brand and their laptops and then the BCC is a nice amount for early, the knot was soon cut. A smile that I still carry on my face. Above average specs helped, in addition to the competitive price, For what has this 15.6 "Asusje namely under the hood for the record: - Intel Core i7 2630QM @ 2,0 Ghz (Turbo @ 2,9 Ghz) - NVIDIA GeForce GT540M (2GB DDR3 @ 672 MHz Core & 900 MHz Memory) - 6GB DDR3 (SODIMM @ 1333 Mhz) - 500GB Seagate 5400rpm HDD This as points for this review are important for a complete list:. Pricewatch: Asus K53SV-SX380V Why I only do it when the aforementioned 4 points held? First, I did not want to be down here scruff (all ) and secondly, these four points it not I, to say the least, most have them sit messing. Haha, half not, right now, for a few. things I have already changed / ge-overclocked etc ect but more on this later (tjah as tweakert the blood is thicker than water). First use The first thing I noticed was the text in the box: "Printed with SOY INK." It should be clear, the printing on the box is the same plant as that tofu, soy sauce and feed is created. A nice thought. After a wild uitpaksessie the box with all booklets were (text explaining Asus Worldwide Waranty ed (registration for this will be asked!)) Thrown up in my closet and I was left with a laptop and charger. And now comes one of the points of the laptop that I found literally after first use "AFFENGEIL". The sound, which then, the power that you have to put the design, the indicator ... oh my effing God, the on / off button. yeah That's right, the f * cking ON / OFF button! No, the Altec Lansing speakers or chiclet keyboard and multi-gesture touchpad and aluminum case I left lying on the left. The on / off button on the Asus K53 is simply the shizzle, no discussion. Point. Anyway, after I "affengeile" on / off button pressed it took less than 20 minutes before the Asus was completely ready for use. One of the first pop-ups you get in front of you is asked to register. Asus And so I did. Serial number + e-mail and you can specify the next 12 months using the Global Waranty. So if you happen to be in North Korea is communist and one has your Asus bombed, do not worry, Asus shoot your help: That this happened on one never, but it's a comforting thought to know that your hardware-related problems literally can be helped. everywhere The first thing I did after the laptop had finished installation was to create the system recovery discs. A program of Asus here to ask after you've booted. Know, you need at least 5 DVD's needed for this. I made the restore disks without all Windows updates. Actually convenient to download and then make the restore disks this first advance, but this made little difference to me. Note that the number of DVDs on walks to 6 pieces if you first download all Windows updates. The backup takes over 2 hours, so connecting to AC power is a must! Asus K53SV-SX380V 2.0 As I said earlier, I downloaded any updates before I made the backup disks. I had something else in store. Coincidentally, I had somewhere a Kingston 96GB SSD are sitting gathering dust in a desktop that was already a while inactive. So a format and a hard drive transplant later I was reinstalling, 3 hours after purchase. My Asus again Delicious. What does an SSD with a laptop / desktop I do not have to explain. That my Asus now felt like the wrong all the time warp speed was a logical consequence. Afterwards I have tests conducted with regard to the closing / start time in seconds using a restart timer: - Seagate 500GB 5400rpm HDD @ 74.7 GB: 129 sec. - Kingston V +100 96GB SSD @ 57,9 GB: 24 sec. Used Timer taken from the following website: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/720-restart-time.html Now something in context. The SSD is now fuller, because now there's 74.7 GB of data. Weird huh? The HDD has also involve as much data. The data on the HDD is in fact cloned. Whether this affects the speed of the HDD, keine ahnung, but it may perhaps mean that others will achieve if not faster. Slower times Along with Steam, BitTorrent and many other programs that I leave to start at boot-up, the restart time + / - 32 sec. Just a uistapje to something other than the restart time, for what to me has left a big question mark is the Using Windows Explorer. Whether this was due to the Kingston or the SATA port on the Asus, no idea. But a few days after I had installed the SSD I noticed that Windows Explorer idiot often crashed. Scrolling through photos / documents already made sure that Windows Explorer itself concluded prior to " Windows Explorer has stopped working, it is searched for a solution . " Everything then recovered immediately, but it was incredibly annoying. A few days the cat out of the tree looked, no effect, it continued to occur. Windows once installed no effect. Windows Explorer kept crashing. Ok, old hard drive in it, nothing wrong. WTF? Ok, but then again the SSD in it. Double WTF?? Problem solved!! Very weird if you ask me. But since 6 weeks I have * no * knocks off more crashes. Asus K53SV-SX380V 2.1 A minor upgrade I did with the internal memory. There is standard 6GB DDR3 internal memory in the laptop, consisting of a strip of Elpida 4GB and 2GB Hynix strip. Both clocked @ 1333MHz. Since I do a lot of foto-/videobewerking, 6GB was enough, but I felt it was not good and I would rather have two memory trips of the same brokerage. Introducing 2 x 4GB ICIDU. Why ICIDU? It was the memory trips that I could get ready the fastest. MyCom had them in stock and immediately I did not want to wait for a Corsair, Kingston or Crucial rods. Now I use Firefox which the memory used as a buffer. Kheb everything to stand, too much, but I went from 76% back to just under 50%. In addition, the Windows Experience Index went from 7.5 to 7.6. No extreme difference, but feel it is just nice to know that you get the most out of your laptop it gets (8GB is a maximum for this motherboard) The GT540M All this regard upgrade you could do with hardware components. Asus also now appears to be graphics cards. Producer The reverence comes from NVIDIA, but perhaps it can be. Fun with a sauce of Asus over it Now I have experience in overclocking a graphics card. The MSI GTX460 Twin Frozr II from my old desktop I have already subjected to overclock session with reasonable results. But what I could pick out the GT540M I find almost unbelievable. Or I have a sample of a sample, or NVIDIA does anyone heavily in the pooper by supplying the factory. Already onderclockte tickets Anyway, in the base, just a simple equation: - GeForce GT 540M: Core 672, Shader 1344, Memory 1800 (900 x 2) 128 Bus; Watt TDP 32-35; GF108 - GeForce GT 550M: Core 740, Shader 1480; Memory 1800 (900 x 2) 128 Bus; Watt TDP 32-35; GF108 - GeForce GT 555M: Core 590, Shader 1180, Memory 1800 (900 x 2) 192 Bus; Watt TDP 30-35; GF106 All GPUs are baked on 40nm DDR3 memory. The biggest difference between the three lies in the fact that the GT550M is only clocked higher than the GT540M and the GT555 only has a larger memory bus (I say it right?) Than the other two. See below for a comparison of all mobile GPUs from the 500 series: http://www.geforce.com/Ha...force-gt-540m/performance NVIDIA has in this list mean results taken from 3DMark Vantage. From the little table you can roughly infer that an "average" GT540M a score of 4500 points has a GT550M which sits on the 5000 border. The rates listed above are not set those values for nothing. According to the manufacturer, did you at that speed, the best performance / economy. Very handy if you are running on battery, but with the 120W power supply once connected ... haha ... Let the OC'ing beginning! Now I've done several runs with 3DMark Vantage, 11 in total. The first run I did without the power supply connected to Power4Gear High Performance. Nice name. Say preprogrammed modes of Asus itself. Besides, you also have Power4Gear Entertainment, Quit Office and Battery Saving. Only ones I use are High Performance, Entertainment, say the "Balanced" Windows and Battery Saving. The modes speak for themselves. But again, go back to 3DMark Vantage. 's score for the 1st run @ 672/900: 4469 http://3dmark.com/3dmv/3595691 Best clever if you ask me. The score that NVIDIA itself specify on their website to be confirmed about this. Now it was time to connect the power supply and start the real work. Used OC program is it known MSI Afterburner. As appropriate with a graphics card, is it best to increase with the first core clock step by step. Values I started with the 2nd run directly at 750/900. Why 750/900? Simple. The GT550M can already easily 740/900 on, just like the GT540M same code, GF108, what could go wrong here? 's score for the 2nd run @ 750/900: 5116 http://3dmark.com/3dmv/3589944 suspicious number if you ask me. Looks like the value that NVIDIA had been given a standard GT550M yourself. Benchmark ran flawlessly, no malformations / artifacts or whatever. Time to speed always perform a step. 's score for the 3rd run @ 775/900: 5233 http://3dmark.com/3dmv/3589958 The score for the 4th run @ 785/900: 5286 http: / / 3dmark.com/3dmv/3592721 The score for the 5th run @ 800/900: 5337 http://3dmark.com/3dmv/3592741 The score for the 6th run @ 825/900: 5452 http:// 3dmark.com/3dmv/3592761 Temperatures after this run to be honest, after this point I started him to squeeze a bit. The temperature increased from 80 C to the graka, as well as for the processor. The TDP of the Intel Core i7 2630QM is 100 C, there was still room, but for example, my old MSI GTX460 I know that 80 C on the high side. Before I went, I decided to look for a laptop cooler. Say hello to the Logitech Cooling Pad N200. USB powered, plug & play. Time to move on with the OC'en. 's score for the 7th run @ 835/900: 5517 http://3dmark.com/3dmv/3592786 The score for the 8th run @ 850/900: 5538 http: / / 3dmark.com/3dmv/3592803 As can be seen, there is little difference. during the last two runs While there were books, between 825 and 835 some profit there to pick up a lot less. Between 835 and 850 I decided to overclock the core to 847 to now move forward with it some memory back The score for the 9th run @ 847/933: 5636 http://3dmark.com/3dmv/3592822 Look at almost 100 points there nibbled Time to make some throw at. 's score for the 10th run @ 847/967: 5677 http://3dmark.com/3dmv/3592840 What at first seemed like the right direction to go with a plus of 100 ~ I was disappointed with the 10th run. Only 41 points there? Additionally it was something of 2:30 and I did not feel like getting it step by step to carry on and wait for 3DMark Vantage. I had promised myself to sleep so I have to do and then go to sleep a run. In the last 4 runs the N200 had proved himself. The temperature was kept below 80 C, both for the graka as the processor. I was thinking to myself, "F * ck it, if the graka can not handle crashes the driver then again I still can continue." For the last time I turned off all unnecessary applications, cleaned up 's desktop, and I put in Advanced Settings' t System Menu settings "for best performance". It was time for a suicide run. 's score for the 11th run @ 847/1066: 5902 http://3dmark.com/3dmv/3592853 I was literally staring in disbelief at my screen. I was as they say in 't Czech "zmatený". Could this be right? No, it was real. Gone was my sleep. I glanced back to the highest score. OMFG. That was 5902!!! I was not expecting much, but inene the highest score in 3DMark Vantage, I did not expect he-le-fold. Say one of the reasons I have given. 5 stars for this laptop under 't heading "Performance" 847/1066 is not a value that you can run, but dayumn! 24/7 Just ff the highest score of all laptops with Intel Core i7 2630QM and GT540M. Asus, I take my hat off for you. *** EDIT 9-7-2012 *** Since I now have the laptop already a few months in my possession, but also because Nvidia new / better drivers has delivered yet again a suicide-run done. There have been several people who have their set-up to higher altitudes managed to push ... in the meantime, but there is always top boss boss 's processor temperature reached 92 C, eight degrees higher and the CPU would have been reached max . But nonetheless a crush of old scores, as well as the (now) old top score of 6027. Ladies and gentlemen, see here (i nsert angels singing in the background ): The score for the 2nd suicide run @ 847/1066: 6079 http://3dmark.com/3dmv/4180170 So it really pays to install new drivers . An improvement of the old score with 3%! In addition, a boost Asus. It just shows that the use of their components in this laptop provides a continuous outcome in terms of speed and reliability. Asus, once again, I take my hat off for you. Comparisons & complaining Technically, it is a strong product. There is already a newer of the Asus K53SV-SX838V: Pricewatch: Asus K53SV-SX838V The main differences are: - Intel Core i7 2670QM vs. Intel Core i7 2630QM (2.0 GHz ~ 2.9 GHz vs. 2.2Ghz ~ 3.1GHz) , - 8GB DDR3 vs. 6GB DDR3 internal memory; - 640GB HDD vs. 500GB HDD; - 1x USB 3.0 The first three differences are still incalculable / bridge, but USB 3.0 is the K53SV-SX838V a very complete laptop. Anyway, that Asus would come here with two months I could not know in advance. But purely looked at the specs are both rete fast laptops. However, one salient detail, the K53SV-SX838V does have less graphics memory. 1GB DDR3 2GB DDR3 instead. Still something to be satisfied if I would take (without laptop), now considering I'd go for 100% of the K53SV-SX838V. But with the results achieved in 't mind with this K53SV-SX380V, no way. Then but no USB 3.0. Is there really nothing to complain about K53SV-SX380V? Well, unfortunately. They are not so distracting that I have the tendency to throw the laptop out the window yet. Something I was annoyed at the beginning were the positions of the volume knob. To do it you need the volume omlaagg FN + F11 to use button and FN + F12 to increase the volume. Why somewhere in the middle of the keyboard? Why not in the places of the up / down / left / right buttons? Is much more intuitive. Same for the backlight. FN + F5 to dim and FN + F6 to make it brighter. Now you learn to live with it, but it could be better. Something that later emerges it's chiclet keyboard. Ok, the tap delicious, as long as you do not leave long fingernails grow. Now I do not always have a nail clipper in the neighborhood, but because it chiclet keyboard is so low you glide over the keyboard as it were. But only if your nails are neat and well trimmed. And last but not least, the resolution of the screen. Now I knew there was a 1366 x 768 resolution screen would sit in, 1600 x 900 would have been better. Yeah, but I had to spend more. The N series from Asus has Full HD screens. For those who can not live with a reflective glossy screen, go for the Asus N series. Mat, Full HDD, but also more expensive. Conclusion To conclude the story. equally The Asus K53SV-SX380V everyone will be a great purchase. The i7 in it is a combination icm 56160 mWh battery (and in my case) an SSD creates a spell of more than 5 hours. Solid housing, quiet, cool, and then also an on / off button of epic proportions. Or any other 380'jes well as good overclocking with the GT540M, no idea. With a view to the future, I do not expect that this laptop will degrade quickly. If their products Asus gives an equally good life as overclocking potential, I think I still have a lot of pleasure with this laptop. *** UPDATE 1: Added pictures, December 4 *** *** UPDATE 2: More pictures added , December 9 *** *** UPDATE 3: Top score in 3DMark Vantage recaptures *** Say hello to the Logitech Cooling Pad N200.

Why somewhere in the middle of the keyboard? Why not in the places of the up / down / left / right buttons? Is much more intuitive. Same for the backlight. FN + F5 to dim and FN + F6 to make it brighter. Now you learn to live with it, but it could be better. Something that later emerges it's chiclet keyboard. Ok, the tap delicious, as long as you do not leave long fingernails grow. Now I do not always have a nail clipper in the neighborhood, but because it chiclet keyboard is so low you glide over the keyboard as it were. But only if your nails are neat and well trimmed. And last but not least, the resolution of the screen. Now I knew there was a 1366 x 768 resolution screen would sit in, 1600 x 900 would have been better. Yeah, but I had to spend more. The N series from Asus has Full HD screens. For those who can not live with a reflective glossy screen, go for the Asus N series. Mat, Full HDD, but also more expensive. Conclusion To conclude the story. equally The Asus K53SV-SX380V everyone will be a great purchase. The i7 in it is a combination icm 56160 mWh battery (and in my case) an SSD creates a spell of more than 5 hours. Solid housing, quiet, cool, and then also an on / off button of epic proportions. Or any other 380'jes well as good overclocking with the GT540M, no idea. With a view to the future, I do not expect that this laptop will degrade quickly. If their products Asus gives an equally good life as overclocking potential, I think I still have a lot of pleasure with this laptop.
