ASUS has made another win for its Sandy Bridge laptop series. The ASUS K53E sports Intel’s second-gen processor and is considered one of the best in terms of performance, power efficiency and price. It’s one portable device average users and even gamers can utilize in their day-to-day activities.
For its specs, the new ASUS K53E has an Intel Core i5-2520M processor (with 3MB Cache), Intel HD Graphics 3000, 15-inch LED display (with 1366 x 768 resolution), 6GB DDR3 RAM, 640GB Seagate HDD (5400 RPM), 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate, 6-cell battery and weighs 5.7 lbs(2.6 Kg.).
Just by looking at these specs, you might not be convinced about its sheer power and capabilities. And that is where benchmark tests come in. You can take a look at the test charts made by Hothardware (http://hothardware.com/Reviews/Intel-Core-i52520QM-and-The-Asus-K53E-15Inch-Notebook/?page=4) for yourself and judge if this rig is worth every penny.
At just 899 bucks, users will have a great performing laptop that can play HD video contents seamlessly. Additionally, we’re also interested on how well the ASUS K53E’s power management. According to the tests, the laptop has a “ridiculously low idle power consumption” plus plenty of power reserves for running hardcore softwares and games.
With its performance and features, the K53E can go head to head with other 15-inch laptop brands, even the new MacBook Pro. Yes, the 15-inch MBP has more striking looks, better graphics, higher resolution etc. But to pay twice as much (15-inch MBP costs $1799) for the same Sandy Bride powered notebook? You’re better off with the budget-friendly K53E.
Ultimately, the decision boils down to preference and budget. Take your pick!
