    Comments about ASUS N53SN-RH71 15.6" Notebook Computer (Silver):

    So far I like the machine overall - been using it for a couple of weeks. The processing power and efficiency seems good - performance is what it's supposed to be, it seems.The main negatives so far:Keyboard is OK, not great, still getting used to it -Overall a bit small with keys too close together -And the action is rather light, perhaps too delicate? This I might get used to - But the keys feel like they are not sturdy. As long as they work. I can develop my precision over time.As others have mentioned, the USB ports on either side are right in the front - too close! Why can't they be towards the rear, and/or at the rear of the unit?Same thing with the headphone and mic jacks - anything plugged in is in the way.However the main bummer which is actually surprising to me, is that the speakers totally s*ck. Crisp and clear enough, but unable to handle any sounds with rich powerful bass. They distort nastily with any strong low end. That's a drag for me as I got the machine to work on audio among other things. So, I must use phones or other speakers for any serious listening, or keep the volume very low.Basically I'm pleased with the purchase.(4 stars)

    I always have a good experience with your store. I was leary to order a laptop on line, but it came on time and in great shape. The product was a great deal too, i7 processor; tons of ram; nice hard drive, plus the awesome sound system! With a 10 key, it is a little bigger than my current laptop, but I love the 10 key. Thank you!

    Comments about ASUS N53SN-RH71 15.6" Notebook Computer (Silver):

    I bought this computer mainly for school, and secondly to play games such as SWTOR and the upcoming Diablo 3. I have to say that I am in love with it. It is incredibly fast and ninja silent. The one problem is that when it overclocks or when I have too many tabs open it sometimes freezes, but this can happen with a new version if windows so I am not too worried about. The 2yr warranty on it helps.
