ASUS K53SV (GT 540M) HD Video-Preview

[@theGorus]

I have had this Laptop for about 2 months now, and every day I'm surprised by what it can handle. This is the best price to power ratio currently available. The quality and everything is just wonderful. The only minus i that the charger plugs in from the left side .. and if you plug in an ethernet cable, the charger's wire gets all the heat from the opening of cooler.

[@JDvzs]

@The3DMachine What's you processor? Is your video card the 1GB one? I'm gonna get this babe this week and I couldn't be more anxious.

[@misternumberuno]

I have an ASUS A53SV, it reuses the same motherboard of this laptop but it is slightly different, and it is very good; mine has a Core i7-2630QM and 8GB DDR3-1333(I upgraded from 4 because it was hindering the performance when I do large-scale multi-application tests)

[@Kennatorful]

@Anaconda2009 That's awesome, how much did you pay for it? And where did you buy it, i'm planning on buying one the 26th of november. Grz Kenneth

[@masihmasihmasih]

@OmesaHD I just ordered it and it arrives tomorrow :) is it good at gaming?

[@Frostypower]

Can't wait for the full review

[@Kennatorful]

@Anaconda2009 Awesome, first game imma buy is saints row 3, looks awesome, think that you can run it with the i7 version of this? (with the Gt 540M in it?) Grtz

[@bombach007]

@bombach007 oh and my GPU has 1GB memory XD, but the fan doesn't have to work as hard as the 2GB version, or am I wrong?

[@Kennatorful]

@Anaconda2009 Thx, what games do you play on it? Have been playing on the ps3 for some time now. Could use advisor for the pc ;) You up for it? Grtz

[@bombach007]

@VSUZUKIV is the fan noisy?

[@DrRageQuitt]

Is it only in this color? (bronze/brown) or is there another color aswell?

[@Luciferaorg]

@patdzon that´s because this laptop is hibrid... so PC will choose to don´t use the videocard sometimes... to have much better experience with witcher 2, right click on the game icon, then place the mouse on "run with graphics processor" and choose "nvidia" option :D... that solves all your problems :D

[@RazvanSecu]

i7 version overheats while playing ? some temperatures?

[@katsuneshinsengumi]

I think it's a good idea to wait for the gen 3 i5 or i7 paired with a gt 640m.

[@MrBlunkerz]

hey i was just wondering, can you take pictures with this laptop? i've had it for months now and i can use the camera for stuff like skype, but can i use it independatly by opening a program and taking photos/videos? and anytime i try too open "ASUS VIRTUAL CAMERA" nothing happens.... help please? :3

[@SecretTuner]

GT540M...? wow...i just had 610M in my asus k53sd...can i upgrade it I mean to a better notebook graphics card....? Please i really need the answer

[@phaffnir255]

ordered mine today pretty dam good for 600 bucks runs most games fine

[@HGAMES69]

what is the price of this laptop ?

[@TigerOwna]

Well atleast its working now but a useful tip check the warranty on asus for how long you have warranty in you country in case if there is something wrong again I also have this laptop but its now to a repair center

[@w3rkan]

how long will the battery last on this notebook?

[@WeiXtheWizard]

i saw in another review the ram could be upgraded to 16 gb instead of the standard 4. maybe that helps you out a bit

[@wlsfla8619]

Hi everyone, just wondering, I have a budget about $2000(AD), and I'm willing to pay bit more for a good laptop. is this laptop good enough for me to buy with that much budget?

[@AmerM7]

@DannMarius can it emit internnet connection and recive it?Does it have usb 3.0?

[@patdzon]

@Placeboworld1000 That sounds nice but when I right click the icon I don't see any option for that.

[@catfishph]

just would like to ask this.... the vid graphics of k53sv is GeForce GT 540M... right??? which do you recommend, GeForce GT 540M 2gb vid graphics or the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5730 2gb??? is the quality same or which is better of the 2 vid graphics???

[@yhfhdcf]

Geforce GT 540M has higher clock speeds and stuff and has better quality.

[@DannMarius]

i've bought one 6 hours ago, and i'm happy

[@Virginia10ify]

Which is better asus k53sv i7 8gb or acer aspire 5755g i7 8gb ?

[@boyfromwest]

is this laptop good for world of warcraft? and gaming im thinking about buying it, please help

[@awdlancer]

@renaudlussier you can also look at the asus k43. its a 14" instead of 15" with same internals. much more portable too

[@dredebile]

Just ordered a i7 2630 6GB version of this lovely asus for 700eu, can't .. wait .. NO MORE!

[@jamu143]

how is its battery life..??

[@Luciferaorg]

@4000marco and yes cause its an hibrid laptop... so it choose to use the videocard or the chipset... videocard for most demanding programs, chipset for low demanding programs to save energy... same with the CPU... it can use less CPU if u like to

[@theOman333]

how well does it run games?

[@Mirsunnovs]

how much the cost ?

[@Kalax03]

I buyed this laptop 1/2 months ago for 550 euro's and i'm STILL amazed off what this laptop can handle! I run Mafia II with 40 fps on it and get +30 fps on Crysis 2. And just think about it, a macbook with these specs are 4 times more expensive than this laptop. The only need of a macbook is the MacOSX, but go to hackintosh and you'll see manuals how to put MacOSX on your windows PC. So, GET THIS LAPTOP NOW! Don't be fooled by Apple! You get amazing value for your money with this laptop!!!!

[@The3DMachine]

@DirectFilmWorks Yes it is, i play crysis 2 in ultra quality. With the hd dx11 patch

[@eurotruckdriv3r]

I bought this laptop one year ago.

[@Kalax03]

@jackyboiii This is with the Altec lansing speakers.

[@Anaconda2009]

i have this beast with gt540m 2gb, 6gb ram, 640gb drive, i7 2630qm feel free to ask

[@bombach007]

@catfishph looks like the GT 540M is slightly better :D

[@Luciferaorg]

@4000marco actually you can play all high end videogames... but you have to pick the videocard instead of the chipset, since this computer is hibrid... it will sometimes not use the videocard if you don´t ask it for it... to ask the pc to use the videocard right click on the videogame icon, then in "run with graphics procesor" then choose nvidia videocard... otherway you will run some games with no videocard... come on I can run crysis 2 pretty well lol

[@Luciferaorg]

@patdzon try looking for the game icon in the start menu and programs... there it works

[@AFryingPan]

Why does this have to be brown, it would look better black or dark grey

[@mobai123]

ok guy this or k55 ?

[@DirectFilmWorks]

@The3DMachine yea is it? im gonna buy it.

[@robbieferrari]

Hi, does anyone know if i can take the i3 2310m cpu out of this laptop and put in an i7 2630qm (a cpu that is offered as a option for this same notebook)? thanks

[@bombach007]

@ExtraBlueGuys yes it s, I am playing mw3 on max with 4X AA and assassins creed revelations on max without AA and bf3 on high/ultra :D

[@Anaconda2009]

@Kennatorful $950 from ebay, trust me this beast cannot heat up his fan works really fine

[@Anaconda2009]

@Kennatorful sure any time bro.. i play call of duty black ops maxed out, call of duty MW3 also maxed out, metro 2033 and crysis2. almost all of the games out there and battlefield3 only high not ultra to make it smooth but u can ultra all of it

[@seanfiz]

already got 1..amazing n powerful laptop,worthy to but it..u wont regret..trust me

[@Anaconda2009]

@Kennatorful yeah if u get the 2gb gpu about the i7 just install Intel turbo boost software from Intel website and ur CPU will hit 2.9 easily with no worries at all good luck with it u will hit the highest graphics with it

[@jeremyniels]

thanks nice review

[@OmesaHD]

This laptop is sick. I have it !

[@Luciferaorg]

@4000marco not in some games... yes in almost all games, believe me... I was playing Alice Madness Return pretty good with no videocard... but when I turned on videocard I was able to turn all video options in max settings except physics... :)

[@salahbazzi9358]

Hi I have a problem in this laptop can someone help me

[@carlmanu]

what is the problem?

[@AmitFarswan-vf4fn]

​@@carlmanuhow can I play games on it can you please tell me ??

[@carlmanu]

@@AmitFarswan-vf4fn old games maybe. Not modern ones. Like the first Halo or Diablo 2 but not resurrected.

[@merenvagyokakacsa]

its mostly tha same thing, asus runs cooler and is also heavyer but you can buy a bigger battery for the acer, and that one has an usb3.0 its like 2 fps slower

[@VSUZUKIV]

@bombach007 no it isnt...its like the fan from a macbook..and its always quite cool. (if it doesnt have to cool you 2gig graphics card xD)

[@MidnaZ]

@awdlancer but i heard it doesnt come with OS and the cooler is less powerfull is it true ? cause i just sold my m11x alienware and im thinking to buy the m11x r3 stock specs or the ASUS K53SV the asus is way cheaper and better specs imo m11xr wil cost me 899euro while the asus k53sv will cost me 580euro hardware.info/productinfo/119722/asus-k53sv-sx146v#tab:prijzen

[@MrSiloterio]

@patdzon agree to that.. been playing with this for months and it blows any game on high.. except for witcher 2 that is....

[@Gmudi]

@renaudlussier It is. I use it everyday, as well. It's great.

[@TigerOwna]

Normally you get atleast 2 years you can see on the site of asus

[@VSUZUKIV]

@Joke1943 yes it is! i have it...you can play the newest games (black ops...) on the highest settings...

[@patdzon]

@MrSiloterio Yeah. I play Witcher 2 on low. Even on medium it stutters.

[@DannMarius]

@m0cahacker yes it has usb 3.0

[@oliverlawsupra]

can i play gta iv on this ?

[@masihmasihmasih]

@OmesaHD It didn't arrive yesterday it was late. So i'll hopefully get it tomorrow. Pray for me :)

[@The3DMachine]

this is my laptop:D Great for gaming

[@princesazhuyin]

price 700 euros or 800 american dolars , is amazing

[@MrSiloterio]

@patdzon yeah.. after playing on low i just gave up with that game and removed it.. barely moved up 30 fps.. for me its unejoyable... BUT.. now playing ac revelations and im havin the best time of my life!!!

[@bombach007]

i got this baby but with gt 540m 1GB instead of 2 GB and DVD-RW its fucking awsome especially with the 2nd generation i5 processor !!! :D

[@The3DMachine]

But i dont have i5 but i7

[@bombach007]

@VSUZUKIV ok thank you very much I am getting this laptop fro sure

[@Kalax03]

@iBsoool Nice.

[@OmesaHD]

@masihmasihmasih Yes it's better than the alienware x11 in my opinion

[@bri6985]

I had a year and it ended december 2012 :(

[@bri6985]

well I opened it up so I am sure I voided it... plus I have it working now so whatever I just don't move it around any more lol

[@vcrp94]

[@bri6985]

[@iBsoool]

@Kalax03 i will take i7 2630 and memory 6 GB same HDD and same Nvidia maby today =) it's cost 933 $

[@Efe64_64]

[@bombach007]

[@The3DMachine]

@supergogeta2 maybe you are right and maybe not, because a macbook is a piece of shit of you want gaming... but the OS is very nice to... Macbook is not for gaming and the specs are not like this... Buy this one for gaming experience

[@philippduff]

@supergogeta2 hahaha this computers not supposed to be better than the macbook. not everyone has the money for apple. and id still rather take this one just because im used to windows.
