ASUS N55SF-DH71 Full HD 15.6-Inch Versatile Entertainment Laptop (Black)

Some of the major review sites say that ASUS N55SF is a great multimedia laptop but with some issues, but before we know more about these issues would be much better we know the specs of the ASUS N55SF laptop.

Asus N55SF sold with the following specifications, 15.6" (1920x1080) Full HD LED/i-7 2670QM (2.2GHz)/8GB DDR3 RAM/Nvidia GT 555M 2GB/750GB 7200/BluRay DVDRW CDRW/Windows 7 Home Premium (64bit)/802.11BGN/2.0M Pixel/Bluetooth 3.0/6 Cell Battery/HDMI Port/1 USB 3.0 Port/3 USB 2.0 Ports/3-in-1 Card Reader/2YR Global Warranty/1 YR Accidental Damage Protection/30-Day Zero Bright Dot/2-Way Free Shipping/24-7 Tech Suppor.

The N55S is constructed of plastic and reasonably strong plastic at that; the palm rest barely flexes when pressed down upon. I'm greatly appreciative that ASUS used anti-glare plastic instead of glossy plastic, which is all too common on consumer notebooks. Chassis flex is average for a consumer notebook; nothing alarming, however. Fit and finish is good; there are no uneven gaps between parts or sharp edges.

The N55S has an average selection of ports for a multimedia notebook although it is good to see two USB 3.0 SuperSpeed ports. It lacks eSATA, an ExpressCard expansion slot, and DisplayPort. The absence of those ports might bother some shoppers.

For the display, the 1920x1080 resolution is excellent and the highest available on a 15.6-inch display. There is plenty of room to use two windows side-by-side and much less scrolling is required in web pages and programs like Microsoft Word since more lines of text are viewable at the same time. Compare this to the low 1366x768 resolution that comes on most consumer notebooks; the 1920x1080 screen on our test notebook has over twice the usable space.  

This notebook makes short work of intensive applications such as Adobe Photoshop and video editing thanks to the Intel quad-core processor and 8GB of RAM. Additionally the Nvidia GT 555M graphics card is more than capable of playing the latest games at good visual quality settings including Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

The N55S lasted four hours and five minutes during our standard battery rundown test (Windows 7 Balanced power profile, 70% screen brightness, wireless active and refreshing a web page every 60 seconds). This is a respectable time for a high-performance notebook like this one especially considering it has a quad-core processor (dual-core processors are more power friendly). The Nvidia Optimus technology allows the N55S to switch to the low-power integrated Intel graphics and turn off the high-performance Nvidia GeForce graphics card when not needed to conserve power.
