But the screen was brilliantly vivid; whites were bright enough to require a lowering of the brightness and blacks were pitch-black even at the highest brightness settings.

Screen looks fantastic, 15.6 and 1080p, can't ask for a better option.

Looks stylish, very bright/sharp monitor, huge touchpad that with one slide of the fingertip moves the cursor the whole length/width of the screen, sound is excellent with high volume potential, pretty light for its size, runs cool and speed of operation is fast.

The LED screen is the perfect size at 15.6.

I keep hitting caps lock when reaching for "A", but that's a minor detail.

1080p display really makes the difference when playing and when working with designs programs (got more workspace).

While researching, I was looking for a couple main things: primarily a powerful GPU, ample storage space, a fast HD, plenty of RAM, and a Core i7 CPU.

Plenty of memory, fas processor and full HD screen are great.

RAM: 8GB of RAM is more than enough to run even the most graphic-intensive or CPU demanding programs.

If you want to upgrade all the RAM to higher spec, it is a bit more work.

Performance Real world tests of ASUS N75 Series N75SF vs ASUS G53 Series G53SX

3DMark06 CPU

I don't know about performance as not pushed it at all yet, but from the index score its pretty good, I am mainly using it for graphic's work so its more important to be fast processor and memory than graphics, but I am tempted to buy and try some of the latest games cos this beast is designed for them.

Another improvement over the G50V is that the headphone port isn't finicky; you don't have to find the right spot for sound to go to headphones.

The display is really good too, nice and bright, 1920x1080.

I considered swapping it out for an SSD, but at this point the extra space is more valuable than the speed.
