ASUS ASUSPRO ADVANCED B53V Pro Reviews

Asus' Pro B53V is a solid business laptop that particularly convinces with its extensive configuration, quiet operating noise and long battery runtimes. Typical business features like a docking port, Smartcard reader and DisplayPort are also found. The casing is overall rigid and well built. However, quite noticeable weak points are seen underneath the optical drive and above the battery compartment. The system performance is sufficient for many office tasks and is also suitable for converting and rendering tasks when technologies like CUDA, OpenCL and Quick Sync are supported. NVidia's NVS 5200M can provide a slightly higher performance than the Intel HD Graphics 4000 in 3D graphics performance, but is quickly finds its limits in demanding tasks. The recurrently perceivable weak point in terms of performance is however the slow conventional hard drive. It slows the total system in many situations and causes an overall sluggish responsiveness.
