ASUS G53JW-3DE Battery Life, Portability, Software and Other Features

One glance at the G53 will tell you everything you need to know about this laptops portability. This is a big sucker, and even if it were light, it would be difficult to tote around. My full-size backpack, which is large enough to fit most normal 15.6 laptops easily, is just barely capable of consuming the G53s girth. Those of you toting around messenger bags will, with a few exceptions, be unable to carry this laptop securely. Nor would you likely want to, as the laptop weighs over 7 pounds. Thats only half the story, as well, because the G53s beefy power supply weighs several pounds and is twice the size of a normal supply.

And youll need to pack the power brick, as the G53s battery life is predictably short. Although it proved no worse than the Lenovo T410s in the demanding Battery Eater Standard test, the Readers test placed the ASUS G53 at just over two and a half hours, which is extremely short for that benchmark. In standard use I found that the laptop could last about 15 minutes shy of the two hour mark.

In all fairness, these results are not bad for a gaming laptop. Still, youll usually have to find a power socket if you plan to use laptop away from home.

Other Features and Software

Obviously, the major feature added to the ASUS G53JW-3DE is support of Nvidias 3D Vision. This is no longer new technology, but I had yet to experience it myself outside of a demo stand, so I slapped on the Nvidia goggles to the stereoscopic 3D effects could justify the substantial increase in price.

It didnt take long for the answer to become obvious no, they cant. Yes, the stereoscopic 3D is cool at first, and the low-resolution display of this G53 model significantly lightens the load on the GPU, as well, which means that the 3D effects are available at a playable framerate in many games.

However, the performance impact is still present, which means youre faced with a choice; turn up the detail settings or keep them low and use stereoscopic 3D. I imagine most users will have a personal preference, but I didnt find turning on 3D to be the obviously better choice. I was also dissatisfied with the paper-cutout appearance of objects in the games I played. Although individual objects are given depth, there is little depth within the objects themselves. This makes it appear as if a parade of paper cutouts is marching across the display.
