The multimedia DNA in the N53JF becomes apparent the Sony VGP-BPS13A/B Battery minute you see the huge speaker bar dominating the deck. A strip of chrome above the keyboard houses buttons for multimedia, power, Sony VGP-BPS9/S Battery and more.
At 15.6 x 10.6 x 1.6 inches and 6.4 pounds, the N53JF is heavier than competing notebooks such as the Dell XPS 15 (6.1 pounds) Sony VGP-BPS9/B Battery and Lenovo IdeaPad Y560d (6.2 pounds), but comes off as sleek because of its design. Just don't plan on traveling with this Sony VGP-BPS9A/B Battery laptop.
A well-rounded entertainment notebook needs to deliver plenty of eye Sony VGP-BPS9 Battery candy and back it up with stellar sound. And that's exactly what the ASUS N53JF-XE1 does. This 15.6-inch laptop ($1,094 as configured) pairs Sony VGP-BPS8 Battery a full HD display with booming Bang & Olufsen speakers. What about performance? The N53JF has you covered there, too, with a Core i5 processor and Nvidia GeForce GT 425M graphics. We have a couple of complaints, but overall this Sony VGP-BPS8A Battery machine kicks ass and looks good doing it.
Design
The ASUS N53JF is one of the few notebooks that utilizes a very limited palette (did you know there Sony VGP-BPS2 Battery were this many shades of gray?) yet manages to look stylish. The fine lines of the brushed metal lid lead gracefully to the slick little curve at the Sony VGP-BPS2A Battery hinge, which adds a bit of a wave to the deck. The palm rest is also made of metal, which gives the laptop a sturdy feel.
Just because the once-hot netbook category is getting pushed aside by tablets, that doesn't mean consumers don't want a low-cost ultraportable Sony VGP-BPS2B Battery that performs. And that's what HP has delivered with the new Pavilion dm1z, an 11-inch notebook featuring AMD's new Fusion Sony VGP-BPS2C Battery processor. Starting at $449 ($479 as configured), this 3.4-pound machine blows past Atom-based netbooks while providing enough Sony VGP-BPS13A/Q Battery endurance to see you through the day. Add to that a stylish design, excellent audio, and a comfy keyboard, and you've got a superior take-anywhere Sony VGP-BPS13/B Battery laptop.
Design
Similar in design to the Pavilion dm3t, the Pavilion dm1z is easily one of the most attractive 11-inch systems on the market. Sony VGP-BPS13B/B Battery The glossy black lid features HP's new Grid Imprint design, which looks attractive, but fingerprint smudges are still visible. The underside is also a Sony VGP-BPS13B/Q Battery glossy black; we prefer the rubberized finish of the dm3t, but that notebook has a higher starting price.
Keyboard and Touchpad
Like most other notebooks in HP's lineup, the dm1z has a chiclet-style Sony VGP-BPS13A/S Battery keyboard that extends nearly to the edges of the chassis. Though the keys don't have as much travel as, say, the Envy 17, it was still a pleasure to type this review on the laptop. We were up to our usual typing rate in no time. Sony VGP-BPS13/Q Battery HP thoughtfully reversed the function row keys; you don't have to press FN to adjust the volume or Sony VGP-BPS21A/B Battery brightness.
Also like the Envy line, the dm1z's mouse buttons are integrated into the touchpad. This makes the overall Sony VGP-BPS21/S Battery size (3.3 x 2 inches) the same as the Eee PC 1215N, but that netbook has discrete buttons, making its touchpad feel much more spacious. Sony VGP-BPS21 Battery In this case, though, HP integrated a small ridge to help define the two areas. Those who use two hands on a touchpad may find that the cursor jumps every now and then, but overall it works fairly well for this type Sony VGP-BPS21A Battery of design.
Inside, the dm1z's black island-style keyboard and clickpad are offset by a silver deck and bezel; it's Sony VGP-BPS21B Battery understated yet stylish. Measuring 11.4 x 8.4 x 0.8 x 1.2 inches and weighing 3.4 pounds, the dm1z is nearly the same size and weight as the Sony VGP-BPS22 Battery Asus Eee PC 1215N. As with that supersized netbook, the dm1z fits easily into a messenger bag, and while noticeable, it didn't weigh us down
Despite its small size, the dm1z is one of the coolest notebooks we've yet tested. Employing HP's CoolSense technology--first seen Sony VGP-BPS22A Battery on the dm3t--the dm1z has HP's Thermal Assistant software, which automatically adjusts the fan speed if it senses the notebook is on a good battery person's lap or on a table. After streaming a Hulu video at full screen for 15 minutes, the touchpad, G and H keys, and underside measured 76, 78, Sony Laptop Battery and 77 degrees, respectively. However, fan noise was noticeable in a quiet room, and we could feel it whirring when we had our hands on the palm hp akku rests.
Heat
After playing a Hulu clip at full screen for 15 minutes we measured temperatures on the N53JF's touchpad (83 degrees), keyboard between fushitsu akku the G&H keys (86 degrees), and the middle of the underside (88 degrees). All of these temperatures are comfortably below the category acer battery average.
The N53JF sports a 15.6-inch, full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) apple battery glossy display that provides a gorgeous canvas for Blu-ray movies and other 1080p content. When watching a Blu-ray of Iron Man we noted bright, popping colors and smooth action sequences. We noted no pixelation or artifacts when transferring from light sony battery to dark scenes, and we appreciated the wide viewing angles. Glossy screens mean reflections, though, and ours proved somewhat distracting saus battery when watching flicks.
The real star of the multimedia experience are the huge Bang & toshiba battery Olfson speakers. They're backed by ASUS' SonicMaster technology, which allows users to customize audio output both on the speakers and when listening via headphones. The result is rich audio with a wide range that's well above dell battery the average notebook.
Keyboard and Touchpad
The N53JF features a new "wave" keyboard with large keys, along with a numberpad on the right. fushitsu akku The latter's small size is fine for crunching numbers but might turn off gamers. While typing, the key feel was bouncy but slightly mushy, and we apple akku noticed some flex.
The 3.25 x 2.1-inch touchpad is a nice size (it could be bigger, given how much space there is on the deck), and has just the right amount hp akku of matte texture on the surface for smooth navigation. The single mouse bar beneath is not only a finger smudge magnet, but also marginally acer akku stiff.
We compared N53JF with the Dell XPS 15, which delivered saus akku the best notebook audio quality of all the notebooks we tested this year. When playing tracks with driving bass, such as "Pick U Up" by Adam Lambert or "Beautiful Dangerous" by Slash and Fergie, the XPS 15 was the clear winner. However, with tracks dell akku that soar upwards or rely heavily on acoustics, such as "Dryad's Promise" by Tricky Pixie or "Legions (War)" by Zoe Keating, the N53JF fared better. Overall, the toshiba akku XPS 15 has the best sound system, but the N53JF is a close second.
Now that 15-inch notebooks are the new family PCs, you'll want a sony akku hub that can do it all: web surfing, word processing, streaming movies, photo and video editing, and, yes, even gaming. The Samsung RF510 ($729 on Amazon) answers the call for versatility by combining a Core i5 processor with discrete Nvidia ibm akku graphics, stylish looks, and a responsive keyboard. But is this 5.6-pound system really good enough to play demanding games or full HD acer akkus videos?
Design
At 14.9 x 10.1 X 1.5 inches and 5.6 pounds, the RF510 is too bulky to carry around all day but light enough to move apple akkus from the living room to the bedroom and then the kids' room in a flash. It's also noticeably lighter than the Dell XPS 15 (6.1 dell akkus pounds, 15 x 10.4 x 1.5 inches).
Ports and Webcam
Never one to skimp on ports, ASUS packs in a few designed with the media maven in mind. The HDMI 1.4 port is ready sony akkus for the next generation of HD connectivity. And the USB 3.0 port next to it ensures you'll be able to take advantage of super speedy external drives and other enhanced ibm akkus peripherals down the line. You'll also find a USB/eSATA port, plus two more USB 2.0 ports, Ethernet, VGA, a 5-in-1 memory card slot, headphone, mic, toshiba akkus and a Blu-ray drive.
The 2-megapixel webcam above the display is just okay. The images it produced weren't the sharpest, but while chatting on saus akkus Skype our friend noted that the camera continually adjusted for different lighting as we moved around and didn't see much apple battery blur.
Keyboard and Touchpad
The RF510's island-style keyboard sports a numeric keypad and offers solid tactile feedback and a dell battery smooth key surface, though it lacks a backlight. We scored our typical rate of 80 words per minute on the Ten Thumbs Typing Test, with a modest 2 percent hp battery rror rate.
The 3.5 x 2.3-inch touchpad has a pleasant matte surface that allowed us to navigate around the desktop with great accuracy dell akku and execute pinch-to-zoom gestures smoothly. The notebook's discrete touchpad buttons offered just the right amount of feedback; that's a welcome improvement acer akku over the SF510's jerky clickpad.
Heat
The Samsung RF510 stayed pleasantly cool throughout our testing. Even after apple akku streaming video at full screen for 15 minutes, the keyboard measured a temperate 92 degrees. The touchpad clocked in at a chilly 89 degrees, as did the middle bottom ibm akku area. Those numbers are excellent, because we consider anything below 95 degrees comfortable and anything below 90 degrees imperceptible. By comparison, the bottom of the Dell XPS 15 reached a warm 102 hp akku degrees.
Though sized like a family PC, the Samsung RF510 has a sleek, black aesthetic that looks equally sony akku at home in the living room and the conference room. The glossy black lid, which resists most fingerprints, is emblazoned with a chrome Samsung logo and asus akku accented by chrome hinges and chrome lines on the left and right sides. Though we like the ivory design and curved shape of the less expensive Samsung SF510, the RF510's sleek aethetic looks more fujitsu akku professional.
Once opened, the notebook looks even classier. A comfortable matte black palmrest sits below toshiba akku an island-style keyboard with tastefully rounded keys and a chrome-colored background. Above the keyboard is a chrome button area with volume acer laptop akku controls, Wi-Fi on/off, and power buttons with sci-fi blue lighting behind them. The subtle speaker holes that run across the entire width of the upper deck add to the high-tech aesthetic. Even the screen bezel has a subtle dotted pattern that matches apple laptop akku the speaker holes.
