Asus FX553VD (7700HQ, GTX 1050) Laptop Review
Searching for the Infrequent. We are taking the Asus FX553VD into our test regimen and evaluate if the FX553 lives upwards to Asus' motto "in search of incredible," or whether Asus has to proceed to search. Compared to its sibling model which is equipped with a GTX 1060 at about the same price, tin can the notebook collect enough positive arguments for a purchase?
For the original High german review, see hither.
Multimedia or even gaming notebook? The FX553VD represents Asus' entry-level model with a dedicated Pascal graphics card. It is supposed to assure multimedia and gaming suitability and be gentle on the gamer's wallet at the aforementioned fourth dimension. We compare information technology with an Asus in-business firm competitor, the FX502 model with GTX 1060, as well as similarly equipped competitors such as the HP Pavilion xv, the Acer Aspire VX5-591G, the Dell Inspiron 15 7000 7567, and the MSI GL62M. Our test unit of measurement can exist purchased from around 1100 Euros (~$1177), and one equipped with an i5 instead of i7 it costs just around 900 Euros (~$963).

Notation: The manufacturer may use components from different suppliers including display panels, drives or retention sticks with similar specifications.
The case is fabricated exclusively of plastic and shows some design peculiarities on the top. The basic black design is ornamented by diagonal, sparse, blood-red lines. This gives the notebook an individualistic look and underlines its gaming ambitions. The contrasting dark red can be noticed all through the unit of measurement, also when the hat is open. Although the display frame is kept in blackness, the black keys present red lettering, the touchpad has a blood-red frame, and the base plate is also lightly colored in dark carmine. Unfortunately the beautiful lacquer magically attracts fingerprints and gets smudged hands.
The solid hinges offer good stability, though at a compression, the FX553 can be opened besides with ane hand. Compared to its FX502 sibling, the hat with the screen is fifty-fifty more flexible. A slight pressure level on the airtight lid leaves a very spongy impression. The plastic of the hand remainder and under the keyboard gives in minimally, which, even so, unlike the hat, remains within normal range. Equally in the review of the FX502, some isolated minimal gaps are likewise apparent between the display and inner frame. Overall, the elevation of the example cannot be called especially stable. The lesser offers a better impression, nothing wobbles or creaks. On the left side is the air vent, which is also framed in crimson.
In terms of size and weight, the FX553VD falls between its competitors: merely the HP Pavilion 15 is 100 grams (~iii.5 oz) lighter, the MSI GL62M has a like weight, and most other competitors are upward to 400 grams (~0.nine lb) heavier. It appears minimally thicker than the competitors, but this might exist due to our having measured at the thickest department in front (speakers), and the notebook tapers downwardly towards the back. In terms of its dimensions, it is about the same as the MSI, about of the other devices are slightly deeper or even wider. For an entry-level gaming laptop, the Asus FX553 lies in the lower midfield in terms of its weight and size.
❌
The connections of the FX553VD are unremarkable: the back has none, in the front is the carte reader in the center. The right side is equipped with simply an optional optical drive or dummy of information technology, a USB ii.0 port, and the slot for a lock. All the other ports are on the left side, which include a LAN and an HDMI port, 3 USB 3 ports (i of them Type-C without Thunderbolt), and unfortunately just a combined headphone and microphone port. Because there is likewise a wide air vent also the power port on the same side, the ports are very close together, which may cause some frustrations with thick cables or larger USB devices. In the meantime, the other devices have more than success hither. Since all of the important connections are on the left side in front where they will be in the way when using a left-handed mouse, left-handed users will find themselves in fifty-fifty more problem.
In the specifications, the Asus website also advertises a DVD multi-office drive. Our test unit has no such drive, however. Although we can see a slot for a drive on the correct side, this evidently dummy cannot exist opened, nor does information technology appear every bit a drive in Explorer. So obviously there must exist notebook versions with and without the DVD burner.
In the JPEG copy test with our reference Toshiba Exceria Pro SDXC 64 GB UHS-II memory bill of fare, the internal card reader reaches a speed of just over lxxx MB/s and with this falls into the unremarkable middle of the field. For a 1 GB image file, the device needs most 13 seconds. These values are already known from its sibling, the FX502. However, the exam model offers a jump mechanism that latches the menu in place without it protruding.
The Asus FX553 is equipped with a Realtek GBit LAN adapter, and the Wi-Fi adapter comes from Intel and supports all the current standards including the fast ac standards. Compared to the competitors, it positions itself in the center or upper range in our transfer test. In the send performance in particular, the notebook performs stronger than some of the more than expensive competitors.
No positive surprise in the accessories: other than the power supply, the warranty booklet, and quick instructions, there is aught else in the box.
Unfortunately, the bombardment of the device cannot be removed or exchanged hands. Nor does the computer offer a maintenance hatch. According to the manual, you lot tin loosen xi screws with a mini Phillips screwdriver and and then accept off the bottom of the case to become admission to the hardware. This proved very difficult in practice, however. Offset, the central spiral is placed underneath 1 of the rubber anxiety, which seems to exist glued on, then it cannot be attached back easily subsequently. Likewise, after all the screws were loosened, the lesser of the case still did non budge, and then that for the sake of the device, nosotros finally gave up our attempts. For the inexperienced user, this volition be a great obstruction. At to the lowest degree, in theory yet, y'all could upgrade the battery, retentiveness, SSD, and HDD in this way.
For customers in Deutschland and Austria, the manufacturer Asus offers a 2-year Collect & Return warranty. For around 70 Euros (~$75), some shops permit increasing the warranty for a further 2 years.Delight see our Guarantees, Return policies and Warranties FAQ for state-specific information.
Keyboard
The red design theme continues also on the keyboard: a carmine illumination can exist adapted in three steps of brightness or turned off completely. The lettering is too red instead of the usual white. The layout does not step out of line, but offers some especial features. As in the ROG gaming serial, the WASD keys are emphasized over again with a reddish frame, the input fundamental is slightly smaller, and the pointer keys are offset towards the lesser and accomplish a lilliputian into the number pad on the right.
The keystroke is quite firm and not spongy at all, the keys practise not wobble or creak, merely the bottom of the keyboard gives in slightly under force per unit area. The stroke is one.half-dozen mm (~0.06 in), and the key noise is non too loud. The placement of the ability button is rather unusual. Designed similar another fundamental, it is placed in the pinnacle right corner. While this yet led to some defoliation with the PgDn or End keys in the FX502, information technology has been corrected in the FX553 through a changed layout. The less-often used Print key is now directly next to the Power fundamental, then that an adventitious press becomes more than unlikely. Still, we still concluded up cursing sometimes, when in our practice test nosotros accidentally pressed the Power key out of habit, instead of the Stop cardinal, then put the device to slumber without wanting to. Therefore, we would really prefer a carve up ability button that is offset from the rest of the keyboard.
Touchpad
The 10.5 10 7.v cm (~4.3 x 2.9 in) touchpad has been adopted from the FX502 and therefore in all likelihood it has inherited all its advantages and disadvantages: It offers good gliding characteristics in all zones, but chop-chop attracts fingerprints due to its surface structure. The clicking area at the bottom is not noticeably separated, and the low sensitivity leads to unintended clicking. Just you get used to applying less pressure. The mouse-replacement offers many control gestures, it recognizes upward to four-finger gestures, which also worked well in our test.
In the display, the differences between the more affordable FX and the more expensive GL series can be noticed. Unlike the IPS display of the expensive Asus GL502, the FX553 comes with a non-reflective BEO TN panel similar the i in FX502. It offers a 1920x1080 pixel Total HD resolution, just as expected, otherwise cannot proceed up with the more expensive model in terms of dissimilarity, brightness, and color reproduction. On the other paw, the measured values are not particularly untypical for affordable TN panels.
The depression brightness value of only 215 cd/m² in particular, leads us to assume that information technology is not very suitable for outdoors. The contrast of 489:1 besides remains far behind the IPS panel of the HP Pavilion 15, for example, although it has fifty-fifty increased compared to the FX502. Nosotros cannot complain much about the brightness distribution, since it is well-balanced. Specially positive: nosotros did not notice any screen bleeding at all in our test unit of measurement.

* ... smaller is better
Although the black value is not that exciting, the competitors from MSI and Dell do not turn out any amend. Acer and HP are alee hither. At 57% and 36%, respectively, the sRGB and AdobeRGB color infinite coverage is also extremely bad, although all the competitors line up there as well. The just device faring conspicuously better in this regard is the MSI model (100% and 76%). Thus the FX553 is not suitable for enthusiastic hobby photographers and much less for those who do professional epitome processing, but this is also not the targeted audience. The occasional gamer volition rather appreciate the quick response time.
In spite of its mixed results, subjectively the screen does non make such a bad impression - at least non indoors. Nosotros could not run into information technology negatively affecting office applications or games much, which is probably due to the good brightness distribution. The display appears fairly neutral, merely the colors could exist more brilliant.
At least in overcast conditions, the device is still usable outside. The effulgence of slightly over 200 cd/10002 is notwithstanding sufficient nether these conditions. In sunlight the laptop might quickly accomplish its display limits, but gaming sessions brand more sense within, anyway.
Display Response Times
ℹ
Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Deadening response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
| ↔ Response Time Blackness to White | ||
|---|---|---|
| eleven ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined | ↗ 7 ms ascension |  |
| ↘ 4 ms fall | ||
| The screen shows good response rates in our tests, only may be besides slow for competitive gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.4 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 19 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is improve than the boilerplate of all tested devices (23 ms). | ||
| ↔ Response Time l% Grey to 80% Gray | ||
| 43 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined | ↗ 24 ms rise |  |
| ↘ 19 ms fall | ||
| The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.25 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 63 % of all devices are amend. This means that the measured response fourth dimension is worse than the average of all tested devices (36.3 ms). | ||
Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
ℹ
To dim the screen, some notebooks volition merely cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human being eye. If said frequency is likewise depression, users with sensitive optics may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
| Screen flickering / PWM not detected | ≤ 90 % brightness setting |  | |
| In comparison: 52 % of all tested devices exercise not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 19773 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured. | |||
On their website, Asus advertises the extremely stable viewing angle of the display, the potent dissimilarity, and colors that do not fade even viewed from extreme angles. For the actual TN panel, this is nonsense, of class. According to our measurements, it is neither particularly bright, nor does it take a high contrast. In fact, when looking from 45-degree side angles, the color deviations are within limits and the contents of the screen are still quite recognizable. The greatest deviation can be seen when looking from the bottom; here the paradigm appears very dark. But looking from the sides, we tin verify the TN brandish's stable viewing angles.
Our Asus FX553VD test unit is equipped with a Core-i7-7700HQ and 8 GB of RAM. Optionally, the laptop is also available with a slightly weaker processor, the Core-i5-7300HQ. This tin be accompanied by 32 GB of RAM. The examination unit comes with one eight GB of RAM, a second slot remains unoccupied. Currently, eight GB is standard in this price range and sixteen GB is usually only congenital into the more expensive models. The viii GB together with the mobile GeForce GTX 1050 should bear witness sufficient for gaming. It should be mentioned, that Asus uses a model with only ii GB of dedicated retentiveness as the graphics card, the GTX 1050 is too available with twice the storage. Particularly at higher resolutions and maximum settings, this could become noticeable. The MSI Pendant is as well equipped with but 2 GB while Acer, HP, and Dell provide their notebooks with the 4 GB graphics variant.
The Core-i7-7700HQ is based on the current Kaby Lake architecture and belongs to the seventhgeneration of Intel's mobile Core-i models. It has a 45-watt TDP and is ane of the faster mobile CPUs. The clock speed is quite variable; the basic clock speed is 2800 MHz and tin be increased to a maximum of 3800 MHz turbo speed. All the comparison models that we accept selected use the aforementioned processor.
Our test unit had no bug with the 30-minute loop of Cinebench (see illustration below). The four cores of the processor continuously clocked at near 3.4 GHz and warmed upwardly to 80 °C (176 °F). Throttling did not occur during our test. In the tests we ran so far, the Cinebench values are therefore on a normal level of a Cadre-i7 7700HQ. The 7300HQ-CPU culling goes head to head with this in single-core load, but falls backside in applications optimized for multi-cores.
During battery operation, the Cinebench examination values do not alter significantly. In the multi-core examination, the FX553 lost a few points, simply it gained a few points in the unmarried-CPU test instead. Fortunately, we could not detect any throttling hither either.
Cinebench R15 CPU Multi 64 Flake
The Cinebench R11.five and R10 do not offer any surprises either: since all the comparison devices use the aforementioned CPU, the tests show no significant outliers - all the models, including the FX553, are approximately head to head here. Simply the HP Pavilion makes a positive as well as a negative exception (unmarried vs. multi-core test).

Subjectively, the system performance is alright. The speed of performance appears smooth and without delay in well-nigh respects. This is reflected in our benchmarks: While the FX553 is placed in the centre of the field of competitors in the PCMark 8 Home Score, it overtakes the directly competition in the Work Score and well-nigh places at the top. Only the Dell Inspiron xv 7000 7567 can proceed up here, the FX502 sibling performs poorly in the Work Score at 46% less!

Our test unit possesses 2 storage drives: a fast SSD serving equally the Windows drive and a big HDD serving every bit retentiveness storage. The Seagate HDD holds 1 TB of information and spins at 5400 RPM, which effects the noise positively but can exist slower compared to a 7200 RPM HDD. In the test with HDTune, the hard drive performs admirably but non uncommonly. It does slightly better than the Toshiba models in the Asus FX502 and the Acer Aspire VX5-591G, but is a little slower than the HGST-Travelstar model in the MSI GL62M. Overall, an average result here likewise.
A Hynix 128 GB SSD is used every bit a faster Os drive. The drive belongs to the low-cost segment. It can withal proceed up with the comparing devices; since those are not equipped with the most expensive drives either. Only in sequential writes, the drive falls behind a chip. The MSI does not have an SSD, which makes its results in the chart considerably worse because they refer to the HDD, just as in the Acer. In everyday usage, the SSD is still faster than its hard-drive predecessors, and the operating system can exist controlled smoothly to a large extent. The aforementioned goes for Function functioning and other standard tasks. However, in our best Best Of listing, the Hynix HFS128G39TND simply takes the 217thursday place. In our test with CrystalDiskMark, we could occasionally find a loftier-pitched dissonance of the SSD, just this only happened rarely.

The born GeForce GTX 1050 is a graphics solution of the upper mid-range. In notebooks, its performance, like that of the other Pascal cards, depends to a big extend on the cooling system. In slim cases in item, the Pascal is throttled at higher temperatures and therefore cannot quite reach the functioning of its desktop relatives. We expect most of the electric current games to run smoothly in Total HD resolution and medium detail. The current unit of measurement is supplied with only 2 GB instead of 4 GB of memory.
In our constructed tests via 3DMark, the GPU performance is on the expected level. Of the comparison devices, simply the HP and the MSI have a built-in GTX 1050. Although our FX553 lands on final place, the difference compared to the HP Pavilion 15 is only ane to 2%, which is not significant, despite the 4 GB version of the bill of fare built into the HP. The MSI GL62M with the same graphics card tin move ahead by 4 to 7% points near of the times, which is surprising, because it has only the ii GB retention as well. Comparison devices with a slightly meliorate GTX 1050 Ti are 25 to 30% alee of our test unit, and its sibling FX502 with the GTX 1060 is sometimes twice as fast. Here you lot accept to be clear that at that place is again a meaning performance bound from the 1050 to the 1060, and you have to weigh if you want to invest a fleck more money into the Asus FX502, which is not that much more expensive, or another device equipped with the GTX 1060.
During bombardment operation, the GPU performance slows down slightly. In the 3DMark 11, the performance declined by about 10%. In parts, the performance loss was even bigger, in the PCMark 2013 the deviation fluctuated between five% and 15%.

Kickoff the positive: With a GeForce GTX 1050, the most electric current games tin can be played as well. In some games, in the Full Hd resolution supported by the display information technology even suffices for high to very loftier detail. However, in many demanding games, the details and sometimes likewise the resolution must be reduced. In our GTX 1050 page, yous can notice out which games will run smoothly with what settings.
Our measurements bear witness that our exam unit has typical results. For example, y'all should forego the maximum settings with "The Witcher 3" and preferably play with medium to high settings. In high detail level, the game will also run significantly more fluidly than at maximum level, where the frame rate is 22 fps on average, which falls under the "magical marking" of xxx from which we perceive an image sequence equally smooth.
In "Rise Of The Tomb Raider" you can fifty-fifty savour the graphics on very high details, if you accept some hazard. But with 32 fps on average, in that location is not much room to the bottom, and in some specially demanding scenes the game can stutter. Therefore, here every bit well, nosotros recommend "merely" loftier settings for the game to run completely polish. The results of the FX553 are most exactly on the level of the reference design.
The notebook seems to exist less inclined for "Doom." Although the results are above 43 frames, which are usually quite playable, with 52 fps the reference carte du jour is significantly college. Somewhen the disadvantages of the halved retentivity can be felt hither. Particularly for a fast shooter, results higher than 45 fps are recommended. In "Doom" the difference betwixt the high and ultra settings is not that much in general. To achieve a noticeable speed reward, you would have to switch to medium item. The Dell Inspiron 15 with its GTX 1050 Ti is about 50% faster and the FX502 again is virtually twice every bit fast.
Furthermore, in the long run, no throttling can be detected during gaming: our one hour "The Witcher iii" session shows no operation degradation over time (run across graphics below). The frame rate remains at an well-nigh constant 28 to 30 fps.
The Witcher 3 ultra
In the gaming tests, the FX553VD runs almost caput to head with the MSI, which is just ane to 4% faster depending on the test and settings. The Dell with the GTX 1050 Ti moves ahead by twenty to 30% on boilerplate, in "Doom" it is up to 50%, and the FX502 with the GTX 1060 is twice as fast in some cases. With this, the notebook is aimed at those who similar to play current games, just do non necessarily always need the highest resolutions and details. In the terminate in that location is hardly a game that the FX553VD does not manage, merely in particularly graphic-heavy blockbusters you may need to forego some particular settings. Nosotros did non even test in 4K; the operation of the GTX 1050 volition be insufficient for such a high resolution most of the fourth dimension. Merely this would only be relevant for external monitors; the internal display only supports Full HD. Our games list will inform you in detail on the gaming suitability of the GTX 1050 for each of the current games.

The fans of the FX553 are constantly running, fifty-fifty while idling, they are humming forth (32 dB(A)) and not turned off. During gaming and medium load, they speed up to around 44 dB(A), in the stress examination which lacks practical relevance they even reach 47 dB(A). On average, the MSI GL62M is slightly quieter, merely revs up even more under heavy load. The HP Pavilion fifteen runs at similar levels, the Dell Inspiron 15 is slightly louder on boilerplate under heavy demand, and the Acer Aspire VX5 with its adjusted cooling system seems to exist ahead here. The Asus FX502 is louder with its GTX 1060 during load, anyway.
In everyday use, the constantly running fans do non disturb much. During idle operation, the noise can only be heard from a close distance and there are no disturbing high-pitched or other noises. The HDD becomes noticeable from time to fourth dimension, only all remains within limits and hardly disturbing. During gaming and other loads, the notebook revs up a little, but compared to the other devices it remains unremarkable and does not commit whatever big blunders. Moreover, the fans operate on a constant level without irresolute their speed all the time, which is nice. For very repose games, we would still recommend using headphones, nonetheless.

During idle operation when surfing or writing, the notebook remains comfortably cool; the maximum temperature here remains under 26 °C (79 °F). Even during gaming, the device does not become uncomfortably hot. During the stress test with "The Witcher 3," the surfaces reached a maximum temperature of almost 42 °C (108 °F), by and large on the left side where the fan vents are located. An boilerplate of 32 °C (xc °F) during gaming should be noted positively. Other devices, such as the MSI, become a bit warmer, and of class, so does the more than powerful FX502. The Dell is at about the aforementioned level, and the HP even remains a bit cooler.
In the extreme stress test, the surface temperatures rise up to 44 °C (111 °F), in detail the top of the device - and with that also the WSAD keys that are of import for gaming - are some of the hottest areas of the model. The area of the mitt balance on the left is as well affected, which can actually negatively influence the gaming experience. The HP model in particular, handles this much improve and remains quite a bit cooler overall, and only the zone on the right summit warms up. Although the MSI and Dell do not remain much cooler overall, they manage to go on the estrus development away from the areas that are used nearly, such equally the hand rest. The FX502 from the aforementioned manufacturer besides does this better.
The cause for the bad distribution of the oestrus zones seems to be the fan vent on the left side. In devices that send the hot air out through the back, the temperature distribution turns out much better for using the device, particularly during gaming. Gaming operation on the lap with demanding games and prolonged gaming times are as well not recommended.

The speakers are conspicuously lacking some oomph. This goes for the bass, which does not come up across at all, likewise every bit the maximum volume, which is quite depression. The speakers are thus more suitable for Rock and bass-poor music, although information technology nonetheless cannot be recommended even for that. Fifty-fifty though we did not observe any particular background noise in the test, those who similar a good sound during gaming or other activities should avoid the internal speakers and rather use external speakers or headphones. The latter cannot harm anyway, considering the fan dissonance in gaming laptops. However, here we demand to mention that the laptop has simply a combined in/out port for the headphones and microphone. For coincidental use, the internal speakers are okay, but just in serenity environment, otherwise they are just not loud enough.
By the way, all the competing devices in the aforementioned cost range are similarly bad in this respect. The MSI can at least play a piffling louder, but on the other hand, the audio quality is even worse. Unfortunately, too piffling attention is still given to the audio quality in gaming laptops.
During idle mode, the FX553VD uses only about 7 watts on average and is therefore 1 of the most energy-efficient gaming laptops, only the Dell manages similarly well. At around 15 watts, the MSI uses twice every bit much in idle mode, although it is similarly equipped and also has the Optimus technology. During load, the average consumption rises to 81 watts. In farthermost cases, the notebook draws up to 107 watts from its ability supply, which is amply sized with its 120 watts. The MSI appears to exist more power hungry in general, and for the HP and Dell at least, the maximum values (~137 & 127 watts) turn out higher.

A Lithium-Ion bombardment with four cells and 48 Wh is built-in. The relatively low capacity does not promise very long runtimes. Of the comparison devices, only the MSI has a battery that is similarly weak, all the others take more capacity. We test three scenarios: the minimum and maximum runtimes and the important practice test while Wi-Fi surfing.
In the Reader'due south test (maximum runtime) with switched-off WLAN, the FX553 all the same lasts for almost 10 hours. Here the power-saving style is active, the screen brightness reduced to a minimum, and the BatteryEater tool simulates minimum load, which consists of reading a text document. At but vi.v hours, the MSI has the shortest runtime, which goes for all the battery tests, by the way. Here, the Dell is by far ahead of all the other devices (19.v hours), and the HP (16 hours) comes in between the Asus and the Dell.
In the clearly more relevant practice test, this trend between the devices remains. Here the balanced ability mode is activated, brightness is turned downwardly to about 150 cd/grand2, WLAN is active, and a script automatically simulates web surfing with continuously changing pages. The laptop lasts for about 6 hours of this. Considering the depression battery chapters, this is decent; the MSI does not even last 4 hours. The devices from HP and Acer only final slightly longer at six.5 hours, and the Dell is the clear forepart-runner with a spectacular 10 hours and longer.
So the battery runtimes also belong to the lower mid-range. Although with the MSI there is a device that fares worse, the values here are anything but exiting, and the remaining competitors fare better here. Complete charging takes around 2.5 hours, past the way.

Pros
+ solid functioning
+ depression power consumption

- spongy hat
- keyboard gives under pressure
- unfavorable temperature distribution
The Asus FX553 is actually a multimedia notebook of the upper mid-range, but it is also Asus' entry-level gaming device. The FX553 fares better in the rating as a multimedia notebook, for which reason we see it in that category, preferably. In the multimedia area the device tin can earn 2 points more, being an all-rounder. Purely in terms of performance, the device offers no weaknesses, and the built-in hardware keeps what it promised on paper. But all the other components remain boilerplate at most.
Our strongest points of criticism go foremost to the casing with the spongy lid and the keyboard giving in nether pressure level, then also the nighttime and contrast-poor display, and finally the troublesome heat distribution on the left surface.
On the other hand, y'all do not become much wrong purchasing information technology. Yous are getting an affordable gaming and multimedia laptop that can brandish all the current games smoothly and does non get as well hot or loud doing it. Of course you lot have to weigh up whether to become a "real" gamer with the just slightly more expensive FX502 sibling with the GTX 1060. That is almost twice every bit fast in gaming, but unfortunately as well louder and hotter. Then it is a compromise decision between operation on the 1 hand and temperature/volume/weight on the other.
The Asus FX553VD is a powerful, visually attractive, merely technically unremarkable all-rounder.
Compared to the similarly equipped competitors, the FX553 comes in at the lower mid-field. Information technology is generally comparable to the MSI; the other devices such as the HP or Dell model are a little better. In terms of what is offered, nosotros find the price of around 1100 Euros (~$1177) well-nigh besides high. The competitors can be purchased for a piddling nether g Euros (~$1070) in some cases and do not fare worse at all. Fifty-fifty the FX502 from the same manufacturer costs only about 100 to 200 Euros (~$107 to $214) more and is equipped with 16 GB of RAM and a GTX 1060.
With the actual model here, the "search for the incredible" becomes hard. The design and low ability consumption qualify perhaps the most; all the other values cease upwardly in the unremarkable mid-range. The target audience therefore consists of people who want a reasonably powerful multimedia notebook, but do not care also much about expert quality or fine tuning. The Asus FX553 is non besides expensive, too heavy, also loud, or too hot. It is fast, simply no loftier-stop device.

A C64 marked my entry into the globe of PCs. I spent my student internship in the repair department of a computer shop and at the end of the day I was allowed to get together my own 486 PC from "workshop remnants". Every bit a result of this, I later studied calculator science at the Humboldt University in Berlin, with psychology also being added to my studies. After my starting time job every bit a research assistant at the university, I went to London for a twelvemonth and worked for Sega in computer game translation quality assurance. This included working on games such every bit Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed and Visitor of Heroes. I have been writing for Notebookcheck since 2017.
