Newest ASUS F55 series notebook

Addition to the sturdy body cap, to withstand the RCC live in a car, you also need a sturdy internal skeleton, for ASUSPRO B53V, in order to increase the soundness of the fuselage, which uses a one-piece magnesium alloy body may 210G impact 500Hz test and vibration test, and turned a height of 74 cm drop test to give users the most comprehensive protection at the hardware level. PRO B53V shaft by the metal material to build by 25,000 times opening and closing tests, an increase of 25% relative to the other screen axis life, and more durable. Addition B53V shaft damping appropriately designed, the user can use the one-handed opening and closing.

And mainstream business notebook equipped with a 13.3-inch anti-glare mist visor screen, PRO B53V best screen resolution of 1366 x 768, the general effect of the actual display. In terms of portability, this ultra-extreme than the currently popular, PRO B53V a bit cumbersome, but compared to the traditional 14-inch notebook, PRO B53V is quite light, but the mainstream high-end business notebook in order to ensure the robustness of the fuselage, will reinforce treatment, usually are not particularly slim. Keyboard surface design, PRO B53V continuation of simple, tough design style, the entire surface of the keyboard layout is relatively compact, with a stepped keyboard design, the key keycap is more generous than the current sub-island keyboard, and has a certain arc can better fit the pulp, and the key way to rebound relatively modest effort, more comfortable feel, but not very easy to clean dust from falling into the gap.

Slightly below the palm rest, touchpad PRO B53V with ASUS B53V Battery overall touch is relatively smooth, accurate cursor positioning, moving quickly, with moderate strength touchpad buttons, very smooth to use, can give us better when no mouse support.

In the upper left of the keyboard, PRO B53V has a row of shortcut keys, from left to right turn into energy-saving mode can be achieved, open the ASUS InstantVIew, important data backup well shielded microphone functionality.

When the Intel Core i7 processor encountered GTX 660M discrete graphics, the spark of attraction between creating a high-end notebook configuration; When ASUS series re-design of the mold, Ever since ASUS F55 game this was born. When many people are still speculating ASUS will action in this end of the year, a new generation of ASUS Series game this shortly before quietly released.

The main push models as the end of this year and early next year, ASUS F55 with ASUS F55U Battery maintain the standard of ASUS always "price killer" re-design the mold, the original cost-effective basis, to meet a new attitude. ASUS firmly believe that their product is the best, and we appreciate this candid, and in the development of the past few years, we also do see ASUS change and progress.

Closer to home, said the new series of ASUS's ASUS F55, which is a 15-inch game this, and, as mentioned earlier, the machine is equipped with the Intel Core i7 processor and NVIDIA's latest GTX 660M graphics card, the overall configuration in the currently on the market is a relatively high-end. In addition, ASUS new there K790S with Q480S of of the former is 17 inches games, while the latter has been introduced in our previous review.

According to the price of the current exposure, ASUS F55 has two configurations, the official quoted the lowest 6499 yuan. F55 price-performance quoted from the official point of view seems to "cut" is not thorough enough, but in fact, taking into account this product is equipped with SSD hard disk than the non-solid state drive, the price of natural. And if the aircraft non-SSD hard disk version of the machine, and then look at cost-effective integrated hardware configuration is still very prominent.

The ASUS F55 with 6cell ASUS F55A Battery to bring us a new look, perhaps people will feel a new shape and mold slightly familiar, but this gives a sense of security. Next let us take a closer understanding of this ASUS's latest masterpiece, exploring whether it has brought us a surprise.

The the ASUS F55 game of the 15-inch standard body shell, the screen uses a 15.6-inch glossy screen, but unfortunately, the resolution did not achieve 1080P, but of traditional 1366 × 768. Since it is a game in this, the body is very heavy or understandable, ASUS F55 is not petite, solid and honest appearance overbearing. The machine uses a full-size keyboard, suspension keycap manipulation feel good, comfortable key process moderate rebound. But unfortunately, the keyboard is not backlit configuration, perhaps some disappointment for some gamers. Although it is a game of this, but the machine is the touch pad or join a fingerprint reader, so it seems almost all-round machine configurations.

Shaft part of the the ASUS F55's design is quite sturdy, damping, and opening and closing angles are quite good, with sunken shaft because the screen is not in the maximum open angle will not block the cooling air outlet of the fuselage behind, do not will affect the thermal performance of the machine.

The cooling air outlet side, had originally thought that such a large volume will have two cooling fans, our findings a result in F55 body and ASUS F55VD Battery, this fan is located in the left side of the bottom of the screen. Although only a cooling fan, but alone, its large area of ​​the outlet, and a strong wind speed cooling fan, the ultimate cooling effect can be good protection. ASUS F55 with a new mold, the first impression is strong. Overall design lines are more rigid, angular without missing a sleek, although the shape of the color can not be called, but its simplicity and retro image still meet the taste of some people. ASUS has always been not love to dress up their "own" the concept of natural pollution-depth core.

The ASUS F55 body size compared to the traditional 15-inch notebook to a large number of interface will not cause crowding in this game. The symmetrical position of the aircraft the backend cooling vents, we can see the power connector commonly used in video output interface, but there are only a VGA video output interface. ASUS F55 the left side of the fuselage with the interface is not much with the CD-ROM drive, a USB 2.0 interface as well as notebook keyhole addition the aircraft is equipped with 3 audio interface, from left to right represent the light, microphone, headphone .

Of course, office parties IEEE1394 interface not disappeared in this game. However, compatible USB3.0 eSATA interface touches in this game has been equipped, is located in the right side of the fuselage, in this side of the RJ-45 Ethernet interface, HDMI HD output interface, two USB3.0 interface and a multi-card reader. Another body weight of more than 15 inches of notebook products are not suitable to carry out, we actually tested the whole weight of the ASUS F55, eventually we see notebook weight 2.7kg, a full 5 pounds of weight if you want to come up with to show off, do need a certain amount of courage and strength, and of course, the large size of this game is quite suitable obediently stay at home.

Hardware configuration, this time to get this ASUS F55 with ASUS F55C Battery game will come with 22nm process technology Intel Core i7 3630QM quad-core processor, equipped with Intel HM77 chipset, configured with 60GB SSD solid-state hard drive and 1TB 5400 rpm mechanical hard disk, as well as two 4GB DDR3 1600MHz speed memory composed 8GB, graphics cards, the model uses a processor comes with Intel Core HD 4000 graphics card with 2GB GDDR5 memory NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M high-end graphics card. Intel Core i7 3630QM is a brand new the IVB platform processors, has four cores and Hyper-Threading technology support to 8 threads. The processor is based on 22nm process technology, codenamed Ivy Bridge, the initial frequency of 2.4Hz, can Turbo to 3.4GHz, shared L3 cache of 6MB, the overall TDP is 45W.

Processor, software CINEBENCH R10 assessment of its performance, the software is capable of single-core and multi-core performance processor gives intuitive score, Fengyun Core i7 3630QM processor soon completed all the test content, and ultimately its mononuclear get 5813 points 21903 points, multi-core, high-end models are mobile processor, with more performance compared to the previous i7 3610QM has a certain upgrade. The hard disk in the machine comes standard with 60G SSD solid state drive. In order to facilitate the testing of its performance, we choose the AS SSD Benchmark this software designed specifically for SSD testing. Can test out the sustained read and write performance of solid-state hard disk, including the 4KB file transfer performance, and so results can be divided into two types, one is in the form of MB / s, and another IOPS form of.
