When all's said and done, N550JV proved to be a quite interesting device. You get one of the best designed laptops that we've ever seen so far. There's also the top-quality screen, metal chassis, wide range of connections, external subwoofer, but also a strong hardware base that powers all of that. If they used a more powerful graphics (or rather, its memory), we wouldn't have had any real objections.

In spite of needing to stay close to a wall charger, we found much to like about the Asus N550JV-DB72T. This model is well served by its attractive, high-end design; logically situated buttons and ports; and brilliant, high-resolution touch-screen display. The one part of the Asus' performance that disappointed us was its battery life—about four hours in our admittedly tough video-playback test.

Watching movies on a tablet is well and good, but to get real immersive entertainment, a 15.6-inch laptop with multiple speakers like the Asus N550JV-DB72T is the portable equivalent of a home theater system, plus it also qualifies as a power user system.

The Asus N550JV-DB72T is one of the best desktop replacement laptops we've seen in PC Labs in a while. It's equally at home consuming or creating media, and it's a great choice for the demanding power user. Its 1080p HD screen, benchmark performance, and other features trump our previous Editors' Choice, the Asus VivoBook V551LB-DB71T, with only an $80 premium. Therefore the Asus N550JV-DB72T is our new Editors' Choice for midpriced desktop replacement laptops, and comes highly recommended for the demanding user that is willing to spend a few more dollars for extra power.

Comment

Model:

Asus has always been a famous name in the computer and laptop industry. The Asus N550JV-DB72T is just another one of their great innovations made to replace desktops. The laptop comes with a 2.4 GHz i7-4700HQ processor, which has a rather mighty raw processing power. Coupled with 8 GB RAM and 1 TB of hard disk space, heavy desktop users should not face any issues switching to the Asus N550JV-DB72T. To boost it all, the Nvidia GeForce GT 750M will ensure that gamers are also happy with this laptop.

The 15.6 inch screen is great size for a desktop replacement. With a screen resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels, users can watch HD videos with full clarity. The Asus N550JV-DB72T is also equipped with multiple speakers which makes watching movies on this laptop truly enjoyable, as if there was a sound surround system. Sadly, it does not come with a Blu-Ray drive. The Asus N550JV-DB72T is heavy. However, it more than makes up for it with its specifications and performance. Besides, it is meant to be a desktop replacement, so its weight and battery life should not be expected to be the same as laptops made for mobility.

In a nutshell, the Asus N550JV-DB72T is probably one of the closest desktop replacement models Asus has come up with. However, for some weird reason, the laptop does not support 5 GHz Wi-Fi modules.

NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M: Upper mid-range graphics card of the GeForce GT 700M series. Based on the Kepler architecture and manufactured by TSMC in a 28nm process.

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.  

4702HQ: Haswell-based quad-core processor clocked at 2.2 GHz with Turbo Boost support up to 3.2 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.
