Model:

The Asus N series always oozes class; entertainment laptops that pride on excellent sound quality and stunning display. The Asus N550JK –CN113H is no exception with its awesome built quality and sleek lines. Finished in silver color, the aluminium built laptop is practically a work of art but with familiarity written all over.

The Microsoft Windows 8.1 laptop comes with a 15.6” 16:9 1920 X 1080 pixels HD 1080p matte display that certainly delivers sharp and vivid images. The processor is an Intel Core i7 4700HQ clocked at 2.4 GHz with maximum turbo frequency of 3.4 GHz, 16 GB DDR3 RAM 1600 and 256 GB hard drive size. There is an Nvidia GeForce GTX850M with 2 GB memory graphic processor packed into the hardware which makes it more than capable for gaming and graphic intensive applications.

The Asus N550JK-CN113H comes equipped with a Blu-ray drive, 3 USB 3.0 ports and all other standard features expected from modern high-end laptops. The battery is a lithium cell that lasts around 4 hours and is one area that could have seen improvement. Weighing in at just 2.7 kg, the laptop is not too heavy to carry around. In conclusion, the Asus N550JK-CN113H certainly will perform well while maintaining its good looks. 

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 850M: Upper mid-range graphics card from the GeForce GTX 800M series.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.  


4700HQ: Haswell-based quad-core processor clocked at 2.4 GHz with Turbo Boost support up to 3.4 GHz. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 4600 GPU and a dual channel DDR3 memory controller.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


15.60":

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

2.7 kg:

With this weight, a laptop is rather heavier than average. Devices in this range shine more with screen size and performance than with mobility.


Asus: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. is a major Taiwanese computer hardware manufacturer based in Taipei, founded in 1989. Under the Asus brand name, the company manufactures a wide range of products, including laptops, desktops, motherboards, graphics cards, monitors, smartphones and networking equipment, complete systems and PC components for end users.

Under the ROG (Republic of Gamers) brand name, ASUS manufactures gaming laptops known by gamers for their powerful specifications, dedicated graphics cards, high refresh rate displays and advanced cooling systems.

Beyond gaming, a wide range of notebooks are offered for different needs and budgets, from ultra-slim and lightweight ultrabooks to versatile 2-in-1 convertibles and budget-friendly options. In 2023, Asus had a 7% global market share of the PC market.

Customer satisfaction with ASUS notebooks concerns performance, the features, and the good price-performance ratio of ASUS notebooks. However, as with any brand, there are occasional reports of problems such as overheating, driver compatibility, or build quality issues.


100%: This model is obviously considered exceptional by the testers. There are almost no laptops that are rated this well. If the reviews or the sources that give these ratings are to be taken seriously, then it is a very clear buy recommendation. Unfortunately, sometimes top scores are also squandered.
