5-2-2011 Asus G53JW-A1 ROG Review:
Very well designed, sleek, power packed laptop by Asus. Outside casing is solid, smooth black matte, heavy plastic, with the design of a stealth bomber kind of look. Palmrest is rubberized, which gives it a nice feel.
Asus G53JW Cooling System
Super state of the art cooling system in this G53JW-A1 laptop. The CPU & GPU both have there own separate heatsinks, cooling fans AND exhaust vents. Rear left side exhaust cools and vents the CPU, the rear right side exhaust cools and vents the GPU. Intel Turbo mode automatically overclocks, and kicks in the cpu when needed. Have watched cpu meter jumpo from 1.7 Ghz to 3.2, and fluctuate back down and up as needed. You can also manually adjust throught the “Super Hybrid Engine Widget” by Asus with 4 preset settings: Battery Saver Mode, Quiet Office mode, Entertainment mode, and High Performance Mode.
LCD Screen: Cyrstal Clear 15.6″ LED FULL HDD at 1920 x 1080p resolution. 30 Day Zero Dead pixel warranty by Asus. Awesome screen! Have used , and repaired many laptops, have seen no other laptop screen like the quality of this screen on this Asus G series laptop.
Asus G53JW-A1 Keyboard & Palmrest
Keyboard: Full numerical “chiclet” style keyboard which is backlit. Using the function keys up top, can turn backlighting completely off or adjust/dim keyboard with 2-3 clicks. Keyboard is also angled at the right angle for typing OR gaming to!
Palmrest: is rubberized which gives the palmrest a nice soft feel to it. Has the “ROG” logo and “Republic OF Gamers” on the right side of the palmrest.
