lcd panel screen asus altec lansing laptop x53e quotation

First impression: The Asus made a quite high-end impression with its textured, brown surface. The surface"s haptics also made a good impression, in particular because the bottom proved to have the same handling feel.

The large opening angle of more than 135° was pleasing. The hinges aren"t quite smooth, but on the other hand, they have a firm grip on the display. There is no teetering. This is also vital because the laptop doesn"t have a latch to keep the display closed.

The connections: Unfortunately, the Asus doesn"t get quite such a good rating in terms of ports. The rear is absolutely sacrificed due to the "down hinge" display. Instead Asus moves them to the notebook"s right and left front sides. (...)

The input devices: In addition to the nice-to-look-at chiclet keyboard, the complete number pad is striking. It needs a bit of getting used to because it has a narrower layout than the other keys. It may only be a thing of accommodation for some, but it"s always confusing for me: The "Crtl" and "FN" keys. Asus has opted in favor of placing the Ctrl key on the outer left. I like this more because I usually tend to hit the Windows key instead of the Ctrl key on notebooks.

The touchpad couldn"t really convince me. The keys were too stiff for permanent use in my opinion. The touchpad has been generously sized and is capable of multi-touch gestures, but they weren"t really convincing. The notebook responded rather slowly to zoom commands and, in my opinion, they don"t make as much sense in laptops as in smartphones. On the other hand, the touchpad doesn"t have a scroll bar on its right. I noticed adversely during use because you do have to scroll more frequently on widescreen notebooks.

In contrast, the screen"s color space made a rather weak impression subjectively, just like the contrast rates. You can"t evoke a deep black from this display. Too bad for the notebook, because you do look forward to these things in members of the multimedia category.

The typical weakness of reflective displays turns up in outdoor use. You see more of yourself and your surroundings than of the screen"s content in good weather.

I would say that the viewing angles are good. The screen is insensitive to oblique viewing angles especially horizontally. But the screen is also quite stable vertically.

The speakers: Asus makes an attempt to stick out from other laptops and to meet the claim of being a multimedia entry level device with speakers from Altec Lansing. This is even partly successful. Of course, you can"t expect any miracles in performance. But, the speakers can serve with an acceptable sound for a notebook. There is - for notebook speakers - a good measure in the base pitch ranges, and the trebles don"t squeal, either. However, it is still remote from sufficing audiophiles" demands. But you simply have to pay tribute to the idea.

Noise and heat development: There"s not much to complain about in terms of noise and heat development. The Asus is fairly quiet in office mode and you don"t hear the fan at all. The fan starts up after a short time when you open processing intensive tasks, but it wasn"t perceived as annoying.

Battery life: I was also pleasantly surprised about the battery life. The laptop achieved a bit more than three and a half hours of normal use (surfing, word processing) on a rainy day, where I didn"t have to run the display in its highest brightness. It is allegedly even more than 6 hours of battery life in minimum mode. Although I didn"t try that, I believe the notebook would last that long.
