THE M50SV-A1 THE LATEST ASUS NOTEBOOK ENTERTAINER - REVIEW

The M50Sv-A1 is a brand novel concept from the stable of Asus, combining many features that no other competitors can match. With the goodies like The Multimedia touch pad, audio courtesy Altec Lansing speakers, and a full sized keyboard with a dedicated number pad are justly eye-catching attributes.

Design
The M50Sv-A1 by design is rigidly built. Rigidity in the chassis show cases very little flex and surely feels tough and durable. Hinges on the hood are also firm, and shouldn't replicate any wobble during the cross-country flight. As with the true family sense the back cover and palm rest is typically made with Asus's combination Technology to defy scratches from everyday hassles. The ample availability of ports all around the notebook also makes the note to live more user affable than other similarly priced units.

Performance
The heart of the 2.5Ghz Penryn CPU can master almost anything you could possibly throw right at it and would be the idyllic option for people seeking for a potential and future-proof unit. The M50Sv-A1 is fitted with a 330cd/m² AUO LCD display. The M50Sv-A1 houses the new Altec Lansing speakers which supply a much healthier sound clarity than your average notebook, and with output clarity of minimal to no misrepresentations on max volume based on what genre of music you are blasting on.

The temperatures on the keyboard are tepid to the feel. It is surely one of the coolest blocks of Asus notebooks to have reviewed. Placing the notebook on your lap doesn't source any uneasiness either.

No shocking news here when it comes to the battery. Asus's battery sprint is not on equivalence with other equally configured notebooks. Some suggest that the least efficient ACPI (generally known as Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) coding could be the valid reason of the below-average to average battery sprinting capacity.

Overall
Overall, the distinctive features, influential hardware and spirited pricing on the M50Sv-A1, proves it a strong contender in the gaming and home consumer souk. The performance showed will certainly grab attention from the neophyte gamer and proficient photo/video editors seeking for a substitute option to the Mac-book Pro.
