This review is from: ASUS N53SV-EH71 15.6-Inch Versatile Entertainment Laptop (Silver Aluminum) (Personal Computers)

This machine is superb, my son uses it for gaming and thanks to it we've foregone the use of desktop computers. The price is one of the best aspects, providing great performance for a minimal price. The sound system is also great, so, that I use the built in speakers instead of external speakers. All the pros advertised are actually true, I'm rather comfortable with the purchase. I really recommend this laptop for anyone whose needs involve work, multimedia and gaming.

Solid Laptop, February 5, 2012

It’s unfortunate that they went the price up to $940. It was $690 when I ordered it and was an awesome deal at that price. I didn’t look at too many laptops in the $900 range, but it’s probably still a reasonably excellent deal at that price.

The system runs current games smoothly on “high” settings, and games over a year ancient run smoothly on the highest settings. So this won’t cut it for a die-hard gamer, but it’s fantastic for casual gaming.

I quickly upgraded the ram to the 16GB max with 2 of these Crucial 8GB Kit (4GBx2), 204-pin SODIMM, DDR3 PC3-10600 Memory Module (CT2KIT51264BC1339) Swapping out the ram took all of 2 minutes. I work from home online and often have several programs running and over 100 tabs open in my web browser. So having enough memory to run smoothly for hours with a heavy load without having to reboot is awesome.
NOTE: Amazon’s specs lack detail here. They should point out that the ram is PC3-10600. A lot of laptops in the <$700 range only come with the slower PC3-8500 ram.

The speakers on this thing are way better than my last two laptops. It puts out better sound at 25% than they did at 100% volume.

The wireless adapter in my last laptop (a Lenovo Thinkpad) had all kinds of distress staying connected to wireless networks. So far I haven’t had any such distress with the adapter in the ASUS. Range, speed and reliability are all excellent.

The battery life is excellent so far and the bottom doesn’t get as hot as other laptops I’ve had. So mobility is excellent, though I do prefer 14″ laptops over 15″.

My one real gripe is the keyboard. It has a really different feel from other keyboards I’ve used for some reason and it’s taking me forever to get accustomed to it. Since I type for 4+ hours every day this is a bit of a hassle for me (slows me down several words per minute), but I’ll deal with it because this was such a excellent deal in every other way.

I’ve never owned an ASUS system before this, but I have used ASUS components in desktop computers I’ve built. The quality and durability of their components is exceptional. So I’m confident I’ll be using this computer for years to come.

Awesome deal, fantastic speakers, solid build quality, November 6, 2011

Patrick –

This review is from: ASUS N53SV-EH71 15.6-Inch Versatile Entertainment Laptop (Silver Aluminum) (Personal Computers)

The quality of this laptop far surpasses its price. In addition to having fantastic specs, this laptop is also really well-built. The fans are silent and efficient. The laptop barely gets warm even under during gaming. The laptop chassis is solid and compact. Th brushed aluminum cover is elegant and does not suffer from fingerprint build-up.

Unlike the earlier version which I returned (n53sv-xe1), EH71 does not have its predecessor’s disappointing keyboard flexes. The screen is vivid and bright, but the viewing angle can be a bit better. My only complaint at the moment is the huge, easily scratched plastic screen bezel. I chose not to go with the high resolution model because the text gets a bit too small.

Also, I was amazed at the battery life of this laptop. Using power-saving mode, this laptop lasted 5-6 hours.

Poorly Constructed, April 3, 2006

This review is from: Vantec P N Lpc-301Lapcool2Slimsleekand Compact Laptop Cooler W Adjustable Fa (Personal Computers)

This is effective in keeping a laptop cool as long as the fans are actually.

As noted in another review, the USB powered connector periodically failed after a few months, requiring you to jiggle the wire to get it running again. I have two of these and they both eventually exhibited the same behavior. Now one is completely dead.

Poor design, September 22, 2005

Glad Dad (Portland, OR) –

This review is from: Vantec P N Lpc-301Lapcool2Slimsleekand Compact Laptop Cooler W Adjustable Fa (Personal Computers)

I have had this cooler for one year and both fans are broken. The fan guards on the bottom are too open and do not protect the fans well enough. The first fan on my unit was broken two months after my buy when a fold of my clothes penetrating the guard while it sat on my lap. The second just broke also. I am not sure how. These fans just seem to be too delicate and exposed. There are other problems as well. I am getting an intermittent power connection at the back which requires an occasional jiggle to keep power flowing. Finally, my Dell laptop has never sat on the unit well. The small flip out feet cannot be adjusted. I am now looking for a more flexible and sturdier cooler. I would not buy a Vantec again.

Vantec should be safe for bottom located air inlets, June 17, 2005

owb (Indiana) –

This review is from: Vantec P N Lpc-301Lapcool2Slimsleekand Compact Laptop Cooler W Adjustable Fa (Personal Computers)

I give this 3 stars since I am only commenting on the airflow. My similar review of Diablo Tek USB-Powered cooler pointed out that the airflow dirction is incorrect for notebooks which have the air inlet on the bottom, such as the Averatecs. The Targus has the same problem, making it also unsuitable for such computers. This information is often omitted from the specs. Such is the case with Vantec coolers. But, in my search I learned a review on “Tom’s Hardware” (…)
that says Vantec coolers blow air toward the bottom of the notebook which would make them suitable for Averatec and similar notebooks. It would be helpful if manufacturers and retailers published complete specs. Getting something like this incorrect could cause hurt.

FANTASTIC, SOLID LAPTOP STAND/TABLE, February 6, 2012

This review is from: Sharper Image SI2010-W/BK, Foldable Cooling Laptop Table (Kitchen)

I seldom leave reviews on products, but this one deserves some positive comments. I have been looking for a laptop table. I use a laptop at least four hours a day, and just despised having it resting on my legs. As I searched for stands, all the reviews on other products were negative. I finally chose this one partly because it was a name brand, and partly because of the cooling fan feature. I also liked the fact that it could fold. I have not been disappointed! It is solid, and holds up my laptop without any strain or difficulty. One point that I reckon would be helpful to others, is to note that the unfolded size of the table is twice the size listed in the description (the dimensions in the listing are the folded size). It is really 24″ wide when unfolded. Also, another fantastic positive, the fan is very, very silent! The mouse pad is textured, and fantastic for placing a pad of paper or pen. It was very simple to set up, and I was using it within 5 minutes of taking it out of the box. Very simple to fold up for traveling. I would recommend this!

As I travel as a passenger a lot , I am so happy to have this laptop desk top for traveling. It has a cooling fan that helps keep the laptop cool and I now have something for my laptop to sit on. It is adjustable and it came through Amazon. Very happy with this purchase.

Can’t handle my 16″ laptop, February 5, 2012

TheBossLady07 –

This review is from: Sharper Image SI2010-W/BK, Foldable Cooling Laptop Table (Kitchen)

I have a Toshiba Satellite series 16″ laptop and the tabs that are supposed to prevent it from slipping when angled (you can use the fans if it isn’t I believe) so it’s constantly falling. Also, there isn’t anything to lock the table open so if you get up, be sure to grab both sides to keep it from collapsing and dropping your computer. I really wish it could handle my laptop because it is a excellent price and I really like the concept. Very disappointed. If you have a smaller and lighter laptop, perhaps it will work better. If you have one like mine that is a bit heavy and wide, I wouldn’t waste the time or money.

My 1181NR was stolen. This had the new processor so I upgraded. Great product. A little less than HP Shopping and great service.
