Frontal view, overcastThe N82JQ's viewing angles prove to be very narrow. When the sight deviates upwards or downwards (vertical), ghosting turns up at 20 degrees. We can deviate up to 45 degrees from the center towards the left and right (horizontal). The colors first invert evidently then.Asus X55Sv Battery Several people gathered in front of the N82JQ will have problems finding a good view on the display content at the same time. This critique point haunts the majority of office and multimedia notebooks. Good displays are scarce commodities.Asus X55Sr Battery Asus equips the N82JQ with a Core i7-720QM (4 x 1.6 GHz). It has a 256 KB Level 1 cache and a 6 MB Level 3 cache per core. The TDP is a high 45 watts. The Arrandale 32nm CPU can calculate on four physical cores with 1.60 GHz each. This low nominal rate can clock between 1.60 and 2.80 GHz in operation (Intel Turbo Boost).Asus X55Sa Battery Whilst applications always have the exact amount of performance that they need with Turbo Boost, not all eight threads (4 + Hyperthreading) can compute with 2.80 GHz, but rather with 8 x 1.2 GHz. When only two cores are used, the clock rate of these is 2 x 2.5 GHz, for example. Only when one core takes over the entire calculation effort can its clock rate climb to the mentioned 2.80 GHz. This is a rarely achieved case in practical use, though.Asus M51Vr Battery The Core i7-720QM is supported by a whole 4096 MB of RAM (PC3-10600). Asus M51Va Battery They are placed on two Hynix RAM modules. Unlike Core i3 and i5 processors, the i7-720QM's bundle doesn't incorporate Intel HD graphics. For this reason, Nvidia's Optimus can't be used. An Nvidia GeForce GT 335M works as the only graphics core on the Intel HM55 chip set. You'll find more about their performance in the section "Gaming Performance".Asus M51Sr Battery ConfigurationThe 720QM should be able to cope perfectly with single core and multi core applications, Asus M51Sn Battery viz. process calculations quickly, due to the maximum turbo rate of 2.8 GHz. The processing speed can be compared synthetically with the Cinebench R11.5 CPU benchmark. The CPU score is 2.82 points here, which represents the typical rate of a 720QM system. Thus, the N82JQ stands out from an i5-460M (2.3 points) or an i5-520M (2.2 points) evidentlyAsus M51Se Battery Turbo Boost has to prove itself in Cinebench R10 Single. Asus M51Kr Battery Here, only one thread (of eight) is demanded to full. We end up with 3622 points (average 720QM systems). The previously inferior i5-520M systems range between 3500 and 3800 points and are thus tendentiously a bit faster. The reason: The 520M has a turbo rate of 2933 GHz. Although the i5-460M used in budget consumer laptops has an identical 2.8 GHz turbo rate, the score of 3850 points (average taken from three test devices), is superior by 6%.Asus M51E Battery 5.9Windows 7 Experience IndexProcessorCalculations per second7Memory (RAM)Memory operations per second5.9GraphicsDesktop performance for Windows Aero6.5Gaming graphics3D business and gaming graphics6.5Primary hard diskDisk data transfer rate5.9 CB10 Rendering Single 32Bit 2933 pointsAsus M50Sv Battery So, multi core calculations are an outstanding strength of the 720QM. Will this lead to a very good system performance, which we determine with PCMark Vantage? In this test, the CPU, graphics, RAM and hard disk collaborate, whereby CPU and hard disk have the most impact.Asus M50Sr Battery PCMark Vantage finishes with 5266 points. This result indicates a strong system. However, the rating is lower than in other systems with an i7-720QM. Thus, the Asus G73JH (ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870) achieves 6199 points. The reason for this was the fast rotating 7200 rpm hard disk and the strong graphics.Asus M50Sa Battery The i7-720QM provides a very good performance. Nevertheless, our data base shows that even a 13.3 incher, like the Acer Aspire 3820TG, can be stronger. The little subnotebook can accomplish 6001 PCMark Vantage points with its i5-460M, an HD 5650 and a 5400 rpm HDD (75 MB/s sequential read). It's the speedy hard disk that supplies the decisive boost.Asus M50Q Battery The 500 GB hard disk from Seagate (ST9500325AS) has a share in the average PCMark Vantage rating (in relation to 720QM systems). Asus M50V BatteryThe HDD score is 3251 points (average for 5200 rpm disks). The data throughput in read, determined with HD Tune, is 62.8 MB/s. First fast rotating 7200 rpm HDDs achieve higher throughputs (about 75 MB/s), which can result in, for example, a HDD score of 4077 points (HP G62-130EG) (see CDM chart).Asus M50 Battery An Nvidia GeForce GT 335M with a 1024 MB DDR3 memory is installed as the GPU. GPU-Z indicates GDDR3, but graphic card manufacturers typically use the cheaper DDR3. The GPU core has a clock rate of 450 MHz, the memory 790 MHz. It is a DirectX 10.1, shader 4.1 and PhysX supporting GPU that represents a leaner GTS 250M (GT215 core, fewer cores (72) and no GDDR5 support).Asus V50V Battery The name implies a fast midrange graphics of the previous Nvidia generation. In fact, the GT 335M has been known to be an equal of the ATI HD 5650. However, only few manufacturers have opted for using it in their notebooks. We had it in review in the Alienware M11x subnotebook. Asus still installs the GPU in NX90JQ, K42JV-X1 and N73JN.Asus G50 Battery 3DMark2006 finishes with 6938 points. That is more than a GT 330M (e.g. Samsung R580 Hawk with a Core i5-520M) can stem: 6412 3DMarks. 3DMark2006 is an indication, but will it show us the i7-720QM and GT 335M combination's real gaming power? We've executed two gaming tests.Asus X57 Battery The real-time strategy game is famous for its requirement of a good multi core processor. The GPU support however shouldn't be too weak, either. The combination at hand appears to be just right for playing smoothly with 30.6 fps in high details (1360x768). A strong HD 5650 system (Aspire 3820TG, i5-460M) reaches 29 fps. ASUS N43 Battery The N82JQ only supplies an unplayable 16 fps in maximum details and Full HD (external TFT). The Aspire 3820TG equipped with an i5-460M (13.3 inch, HD 5650) achieves 17 fps. The comparison with the 3820TG proves that it's not absolutely necessary to have a quad core processor for perfect game play.ASUS N43J Battery The football game has only recently found its way into the gaming benchmarks. ASUS N43JF Battery It's suitable for weak graphic solutions, the like of HD 5470, due to its low hardware requirements. The installed GT 335M thus supplies a perfectly smooth 98 fps even in high details (1360x768). This even has enough elbowroom for an externally connected Full HD TFT. An ATI HD 5650 is 27% slower than the present N82JQ in average of all test systems. The TravelMate 7740G-434G50Mnss (i5-430M) for example achieves 80 fps.ASUS N43JF-A1 Battery The Nvidia GT 335M achieves exactly that in the games, what we miss time and again in the mainstream model, GT 330M: The popular ATI HD 5650's performance level is met. Even the one or other additional frame in some games could be extracted due to the quad core processor's influence (Fifa 2011). However, StarCraft 2 proves that an Intel quad core CPU isn't absolutely necessary for perfect game play.ASUS N43JF-VX019V Battery Ergonomics aren't one of the N82JQ's special strengths. But not its major weakness, either. The fan's noise is always existent, no matter if in idle or under load. The fan never turns itself off. It whirs constantly and its level never sinks below 33.2 dB(A). Therefore it drowns out the hard disk's quiet clacking without ado.ASUS N43JF-VX033V Battery Based on an already idle level,ASUS N43JF-VX034V Battery sporadic processing tasks (internet surfing, moving small documents, opening Excel) cause the fan speed to increase to about 35 dB(A). When the processor has to calculate with all eight threads (multi core, Prime95), the fan rises to a very audible 40.7 dB(A). If a FurMark is added at the same time (100% GPU capacity) the N82JQ extracts everything out of the revolutions: 48.4 dB(A). This varying volume that is reached reminds us of gaming laptops. The highest speed isn't constant. It's only kept upright for 30 seconds, fluctuating as of 42.4 dB(A).ASUS N43JF-VX039V Battery The measurement under high load (stress test) determined up to 44 degrees on the top. This provides warm fingers on the keyboard's left half. The center bottom reached 40.5 degrees. The bottom reaches an average temperature of 32 degrees during a scenario of word processing and web surfing. The wrist-rest stays in an acceptable range of about 27 to 33 degrees.ASUS N43JF-VX051V Battery The CPU temperature increased to a maximum of 90 degrees during the stress test. The GPU settled to 82 degrees. Due to Prime95's activity, all eight threads ran with 1.63 GHz (hardly any fluctuations).ASUS N43JF-VX062V Battery The stereo speakers are located underneath the wrist-rest. ASUS N43JF-VX064V Battery They emit their sound towards the table top and hands on the laptop impair the sound. Hi-fi fans will find the sound to be an insult for the ears and grab headphones strickenly. The manufacturer heralds "Splendid Super Sonic Multimedia Enjoyment" on its website. Super Sonic stands for acoustic high-performance by Asus. SonicMaster models, such as Asus' N71JV, N53JF (Nvidia 415M) or N73JG (Nvidia 425M), have proven to have a very good sound. But, the N82JQ in front of us definitely doesn't belong to them.ASUS N43JF-VX071 Battery The sound is adequate for office, but not more. ASUS N43JM Battery The speakers extremely emphasizes the trebles and only captures a part of the midranges. Low pitches are completely neglected. Thus, the sound is very thin and not recommendable for listening to music. The maximum volume is adequate, but not particularly strong. Demanding users will connect an external solution in any event. We test the 3.5mm audio jack with two Yamaha speakers (YST-M20SDP). The volume tethered to the notebook doesn't emit an audible static noise (audio test only, no measurement).ASUS N43JM-051A460M Battery How much battery life is appropriate for a quad core 14 incher? Dell's Studio 1557 (164 minutes, 56 Wh, 15.6 inch) and Toshiba's Qosmio X500-121 (168 minutes, 87 Wh, 18.4 inch) prove that three hours are Utopian with a 45 watt CPU (TDP).ASUS N43JM-8GB Battery However, that our N82JQ only manages two hours with its 63 Wh battery (4400 mAh) is upsetting (WLAN test, 125 minutes). We reduced the brightness to 100 cd/m2 and selected the energy mode, Battery Saving.ASUS N43JM-VX002V Battery HP Pavilion dv5t Battery , HP Pavilion dv5t-1000 Battery , HP Pavilion dv5z Battery ,HP Pavilion dv6 Battery , Hp Pavilion dv6t Battery , HP Pavilion dv6t-1000 Battery , HP Pavilion dv6t-1100 Battery , HP Pavilion dv6z Battery ,HP Pavilion HDX16t Battery
