ASUS G53SW-A1 



ASUS has reduced lower its well-liked 17.3-inch G73 gaming notebook in to a more workable 15.6-inch size using the introduction of its G53SW. Is this fact travel-friendly gaming laptop as impressive becasue it's larger brother? We uncover.

Our ASUS G53SW-A1 evaluation unit gets the following specifications:

The G53 packs a punch, especially utilizing the second-generation Apple Core i7 quad-core processor, 8GB of RAM, which is efficient Nvidia GTX 460M graphics card getting an astonishing 1.5GB that belongs to them memory. The Two-year warranty with twelve several weeks of accidental damage protection may also be worth watching most rivals do not offer this kind of coverage standard.

The G53SW is essentially a shrunken version of ASUS' larger and extremely well-liked 17.3-inch G73JH and G73JW gaming mobile computing. The notebook's style imitates a stealth bomber aircraft, specially the rear getting its recessed and upward-moved cooling exhaust ports. The G53SW is very distinctive truly the only mobile computing which have in all probability much more focus from audiences are Alienware laptops.

A great deal from the G53SW's touchable surfaces are covered in the rubber finish, which feels great and boosts the extended-term durability. The notebook is substantially absent of glossy plastic. The G53SW is produced entirely of plastic. The plastic is rather thick and does not produce a cheap seem when attracted up having a finger nail. The chassis is acceptably stiff but tend to be flexed by twisting the corners. Areas across the chassis are solid though collapse slightly pressurized.

The lid is attached the chassis through one big hinge. You will have the capability to open the lid with 1 hands. The lid flexes easily in addition, the hinge may be more encouraging since the display can maneuver around just a little. I moreover wish the display moved back additional. Fit and handle is fantastic you will discover no rough or incomplete edges. The overall high quality is above typical the lid is a lot more durable, but otherwise you will discover no concerns.


Enhancing the G53SW can be achieved while not easy. Being able to view the RAM and challenging disk demands eliminating laptop keyboards, the palm relaxation, and plenty of screws your bottom panel will pop off. The G53SW truly has two hard disk drive bays, although most designs only consist of only one drive.

The G53SW posseses an average volume of ports for just about any 15.6-inch notebook a larger variety may be appreciated. It lacks an ExpressCard slot and eSATA. All image explanations nonetheless right.
