Test: Einzeltest: ASUS N53JF
Zitat: Pros: + Excellent performance
+ Good speakers
+ Impressive 1080p screen
Cons: - Too much keyboard flex
- No separation in touchpad keys
- Unimpressive battery life
The ASUS N53JF is a powerful notebook that delivers good value but falls a little short of being easy to love. The keyboard feels a bit too mushy with obvious flex under heavy typing pressure. The lack of keyboard backlighting is also regrettable. The touchpad buttons really need to have clear separation to make it easier to avoid pressing the wrong side of the touchpad bar. The biggest frustration for average users may be the fact that the N53JF doesn´t even come close to delivering four hours of battery life (many of today´s 15-inch notebooks keep running past six hours). Despite these annoyances, the N53JF-XE1 is one of the best equipped notebooks in its class. For about $1,000 (US) you get a high-performance 15-inch notebook with a 1080p display, fast Core i5 processor and a very powerful mid-range dedicated graphics card that handles HD video with ease and is even strong enough to let you play most modern games. The speakers are also some of the best built-in speakers we´ve recently heard on a 15-inch notebook. In short, if you can live with a frustrating keyboard and touchpad and aren´t planning to travel with your laptop then the ASUS N53JF-XE1 makes a very good desktop replacement notebook.
