The G53SX-A1 15.6" Laptop Computer from ASUS is a very capable notebook computer, built to handle the intensive hardware demands that modern computer games place on a system. The computer's graphics engine is powered by the nVIDIA GTX 560M Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) and is loaded with 2GB of GDDR5 video memory.
For multimedia fun, the computer ships with a DVD±RW/CD-RW burner that also supports DVD DL discs. It can play movies from disc on the computer's LED-backlit, 15.6" display at a resolution of 1920 x 1080, or it can do so on an HDTV via an HDMI connection. Plus, as an alternative, you can view movies or games or work on a VGA display via the notebook's VGA port.
The system is powered by a 2GHz Intel i7-2630QM quad-core CPU which, coupled with the graphics card, can really push up frame rates in complex video games. Thanks to Intel Turbo Boost Technology, you can overclock the system's CPU to up to 2.9GHz for enhanced performance.
Storage is handled by the 750GB SATA hard drive that spins at the fast disk speed of 7200rpm. The computer boasts a generous 12GB of RAM, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, and a 2MP webcam. A THX TruStudio and EAX Advanced HD 5.0 sound system provides crisp and clear audio output for a true multimedia experience. Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) is the installed operating system.
