The greatest value laptop man will ever know
By JM on June 15, 2014
Verified Purchase
First off, let me start by saying, if you want a quick review then here it is:

Buy it.

Feel free to read the tips and notes at the bottom of this review just in case. Now, on to the rest...

This is, without a doubt, the best value laptop you can buy today. Let me break down some of the components:

Display
--------------------
The display is beautiful. This model comes with a few different presets you can choose from, I'm a fan of the "vivid" setting since I'm a sucker for vibrance and color. Every game I've played or movie I've watched looks stunning. The viewing angles are quite amazing as well.

Touchscreen
--------------------
I didn't think I'd use it to be honest. I felt like it would be one of those cheap, semi-responsive, fury-inducing gimmicks that I've seen all too much in other touchscreen models. Well, it's not, in fact it's amazing. It's incredibly responsive and smooth to the touch. I use it often to scroll through long webpages with my thumb or I use the swipe "back" gesture to traverse through my history, which is very handy.

Trackpad
--------------------
The trackpad itself it good, not great. That's not to say it is bad by any means. The trackpad feels fine but it's the clicking I have an issue with. You can only really tap mid-left for left click and mid-right for right click. If you try pressing down on the far left or right of the trackpad, you will notice it feels stiff and unresponsive. I've turned off mostly all the gestures as I'm not a fan, but overall the trackpad does it's job. Best thing about any trackpads is if you don't like it, you can just use a mouse. Still slightly annoying but at least the option is there.Read more ›

Desktop replacement with good gaming performance.
By bicho on April 19, 2014
Verified Purchase
I bought this laptop with the intent of replacing my aging custom-built gaming desktop and so far it seems to work well for that purpose. The main selling point for me was the Geforce GTX 850M with the new Maxwell architecture. I can play ESO on Ultra settings for hours at a time with no apparent throttling or issues, although the screen near the exhaust fan on the back will get plenty hot. The GPU temps stay in the 70-75 range under load and the fan noise is surprisingly not irritating like I expected, it's more of a gentle 'woosh' or a white noise. The fan noise during normal use is too quiet for me to hear. Overall I'm happy with the gaming performance and it runs everything I've tried (Skyrim, ESO, Bioshock Infinite) at max settings.

Some things worth noting:

I know the description says the screen is 'matte' but it's still a glossy touchscreen. Perhaps it is less glossy than some but I can still use it as a mirror when the screen is off. That being said, the screen looks amazing! Sharp and bright.

Power brick is fairly large, about the size of two Macbook power adapters. Not a problem for me but it does add size/weight.

Speakers don't really live up to the hype. Even after tweaking the included equalizer software it still sounds like laptop speakers I've heard in cheapo systems. I've occasionally noticed some distortion during movie playback. They do get loud, however, which might be good for some people. I currently have the volume set to 18% in windows. Edit 4/25: I've 'changed my tune' so to speak. After messing with the eq settings further I've reached a pretty decent level of audio quality for my tastes.Read more ›

After 6 Months Exactly What I Was Looking For
By J. Borregoresner on April 20, 2014
Verified Purchase
I started my new laptop search over 6 months ago with a few requirements:

i7 CPU
Discrete GPU powerful enough to play most games at decent resolutions
an IPS display
Quality chassis build
Back-lit keyboard

Surprisingly finding all of these while not spending upwards of $2,000 was nigh impossible.

I tried a Gigabyte P35K-CF1 but it had too many quality problems, the screen was unimpressive and it looked like a 1990's IBM Thinkpad.

I had the Asus N550JV on my Wish List for a couple of months but couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger due to the GT750M GPU and not being able to see the actual screen. Getting real information about laptop displays proved to be the hardest part of my analysis; most manufacturers are using cheaper WLED screen - even Alienware and other "luxury" models.

So when the "newer model" option popped up (the N550JK) I decided to make the dive.

Performance wise this notebook is amazing, especially considering the price. I also swapped out the slow HDD ro a Samsung SSD and boot times are ridiculously quick. Although the display is touchscreen, I immediately installed Stardock Start8 and almost never use the touch screen option.

But that is all moot because the display is absolutely gorgeous. My last laptop was a 2011 HP Envy that had a Radiance IPS display, so I was spoiled by a bright, crisp display with a high color gamut. Nothing I looked at had a comparable display along with the CPU and GPU power I wanted - until now. The display on the N550JK is just as nice, if not nicer. For those that bash "glossy" screens then this might not be for you.Read more ›
