Comments about ASUS X53E-RH71 15.6" Notebook Computer (Black):
So far I love my new laptop ~ it's lightweight ~ quick and works great for what I need. The only thing I would prefer is a little bit larger of a screen but the 15.6" works great too.

This is an exciting find. For the price, you can't beat the ASUS X53E-RH71. I bought from B&H because they came highly recommended. I bought the ASUS because they are also highly recommended by people in the know.

Comments about ASUS X53E-RH71 15.6" Notebook Computer (Black):
i7 is powerful, enough ram, multitasking is a breeze. According to research done at Squaretrade, ASUS is one of most reliable notebook manufacturers, and with the service I received from BHPhotoVideo, you can't go wrong with getting this notebook from here. It was $50 cheaper here than on [@] too (at least when I was looking). Get this notebook for a student or a poweruser who doesn't need gaming. The integrated graphics are not suited for the latest and greatest games at high/ultra settings. Some games should run reasonably well though (like World of Warcraft or even Civilization V) and HD playback is quite nice, although I've only been running 720p content (going any higher would exceed the resolution of this screen). Some bloatware, but ASUS has some nice enhancements.

Comments about ASUS X53E-RH71 15.6" Notebook Computer (Black):
Pros:-Intel 2670QM, best mainstream processor available; the thing truly is a beast.-Nice keyboard and numpad.-Pretty good speakers for a [$] laptop.-Best cooling system of any laptop I've ever ownedCons:-5400 rpm HDD-only 4 gigs of ram-tons of bloatware-integrated graphicsOther thoughts:-The biggest selling point for this is the fact that it has a 2670QM as a processor. This processor in case you didn't know out performs all six core amd desktop processors, and a handful of intel quad core desktop processors. It's a beast to say the least. The cooling effiency of this laptop is great. I watched six or seven lost episodes on netflix with this guy running on performance, and the whole time the laptop was actually on my lap. Didn't heat up one bit, very impressive. Do yourself a favor and upgrade to 8 gigs of ram which won't cost you more than 40. And upgrade the hard drive to a 7200 rpm laptop drive, or even better, an SSD. I'm going to do the latter, because I don't need capacity on a laptop since all of my data is stored on my desktop and backed up on an external. Final thoughts:Don't look any further than this beast. [$] for this machine is ridiculous. It's got everything a laptop needs and a great cooling system, processor, keyboard, and screen.Would also recommend getting an aftermarket webcam since, unfortunately the stock one is .3 mp.
