When it comes to speakers, the sound quality, not all computers are created equal. Because of their size, cash laptops tend to have better systems of small laptop speakers, sometimes up to four speakers and a subwoofer. Asus N55SF-A1 ($ 1,249.99 list), in cash, use the audio quality of its unique selling proposition, because the speaker is none other than the world of design from Bang & Olufsen ICEpower. In addition to a pair of powerful speakers, N55SF-A1 also has an external subwoofer, which boosts the bass. It is a powerful notebook is also equipped with a quad-core Intel processor and Nvidia graphics, hardcore games. It will cost a significant piece of change, though.
Design
The finish on the plastic cover of N55SF-A1 has the look and feel of the glossy piano black, accented by a chrome trim. Although elegant, it is still not as elegant as the metal 15z Dell XPS (Microsoft) ($ 999.99 list, 4 stars) and 15-inch Apple MacBook Pro (Thunderbolt) ($ 2,199 direct, 4 stars) to designs laptop to a whole new level, and they are much thinner two (one inch thick). At 1.4 inches thick, the N55SF-A1 over a third of an inch thicker than metal counterparts, and as thick as Sony VAIO PCV-F226FM / B ($ 1389.99 list, 4 stars), mainly because heavy parts justify a thick frame and some additional heft as well. Case in point: at 6.1 pounds, it N55SF-A1 for nearly half a pound heavier than 15z of Dell and Apple 15-inch, both of which weighs 5.5 pounds.

15.6-inch widescreen display is absolutely amazing. How Sony VPC-F226FM / B and Dell sport an impressive 1920-by-1, 080 resolution, which is the highest available in the laptop. Instead, other desktop replacements such as the Lenovo IdeaPad Y570 ($ 849.99 direct, 3.5 stars) and the Acer Aspire 6402-5830TG (list $ 800, 3.5 stars) are boilerplate in 1366-by-768 screens . ASUS has opted for a traditional keyboard, instead of growing as a popular style chiclet ones. To each other the keys were responsive and does all the typing skills, but lacks the LEDs have seen the Dell keyboards and the 15z and 15-inch MacBook Pro. It comes with a touchpad huge, the mouse buttons would be even smoother and quieter.
Characteristic
The N55SF-A1 comes with a plate full of advanced features that will keep the future for many years to come. It is equipped with a Blu-ray, which is great addition to displaying 1080p. Alternatively, you can play your Blu-ray movies for a larger flat screen via the HDMI port and a compatible cable. It comes with four USB ports (including two USB 2.0 ports, two of which are USB 3.0), Ethernet, VGA, and a media card reader. The 750GB, 5,400 rpm hard drive is larger in capacity 500GB those found in Dell and Lenovo Y570 15z.
Function apart from the notebook is its sound system, developed through a collaboration with Bang & Olufsen ICEpower. Two huge speakers are located just above the keyboard, his lungs sound clear and increase the volume beyond those 15z Dell and Apple MacBook Pro 15 inch. It lacks a built-in subwoofer, though, which is usually found at the bottom of the laptop. Instead, Asus has thrown in an external subwoofer that looks like a giant salt shaker and connected via a proprietary port found on the right side of the laptop. Greatly improves the bass when connected, but external attachment.
Performance
The luxury features N55SF-A1 are accompanied by high-end pieces. Its processor 2GHz Intel Core i7 2630QM has a total of four physical cores in a quad-core configuration, making it a fast pace. Combined with 8 GB of DDR3 memory, marked N55SF-A1 4.35 points in Cinebench R11.5 and completed our test handbrake one minute 37 seconds. He easily surpassed Dell 15z (2.53 to R11.5 Cinebench, at 2:02 handbrake) and Lenovo Y570 (2.54 to R11.5 Cinebench, 1:59 in the handbrake). In PCMark 7, a daily gauge performance, marked N55SF 2482-A1, just defeated the corresponding equipped Sony F226FM / B score 2236.
The N55SF-A1 is also a viable gaming laptop, thanks to Nvidia GeForce GT 555m, which is the most powerful of the two graphics chip installed (the first is the Intel integrated graphics). He grabbed the highest scores in all our gaming tests, including 3DMark 06 (12 447), Crysis (77.2 frames per second) and Lost Planet 2 (55.3 fps) with medium settings. In other words, that will build the frame rate higher than the 15z Dell, Sony F226FM / A / B, and Lenovo Y570, which also has a discreet use Nvidia chips.
Most laptops come with Nvidia graphics chips are also equipped with Optimus, car graphics, switching technology, which selects the best graphics chip for each activity. Gaming, Optimus automatically default GeForce 555m, and the default graphics card is integrated into the 3D-intensive tasks like Web surfing, and when on battery power. This explains why N55SF-A1 battery test were successful, resulting in points 4 hours and 39 minutes. It beat Sony F226FM / B (3:36), more than an hour, but trailed significantly behind Dell 15z (7.13), and Lenovo Y570 (6.14) (i5 processors are not as demanding).
Asus N55SF-A1 is one of the best-sounding desktop replacements in the industry, with some adjustments and audio materials speaker Bang & Olufsen ICEpower. As a laptop, it is brutally fast and can cleverly take down your opponents' game without losing a single image. Like any top quality laptop, it N55SF-A1 expensive, so I would like to examine the Editors' Choice Dell XPS 15z (Microsoft), before making a purchasing decision.
