How is this one better than the ASUS N56VJ-DH71 15.6-Inch Full-HD 1080P Laptop?

The N550VJ has a newer CPU and GPU (N550VJ = Intel i7-4700HQ + NVIDIA GT 750M...N56JV = Intel i7-3630QM + NVIDIA GT 635M). Also the N550VJ has an IPS screen. Hope this helps, thanks! - XOTIC PC

Well, there are a few reviews now! There's also a review of a similar earlier model at pcmag.com. The A53E-EH71 has an upgraded processor and a USB 3.0 port. --Also, the leading product ratings magazine rated the Asus U56E-BAL7 as being very quick and suitable for moderate gaming. It has the slower core i5 processor, and the same integrated graphics (Intel 3000 HD) as the Asus A53E-EH71. ; )http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2389349,00.asp

omg,. this thing is a tank. i returned it for the smaller verion xps 13 and it was awsome. the 15 dose weigh 10.6 pounds. but its worth the performace and awsomw HD screen resolution. the 13 is smaller lighter and lower screen resolution and video card can not handle the high performace for most game. the 15 is definitly a gameing laptop for sure. it has lots more power in the graphics card and cooling. 10.6 pounds.. the computer is made for a man

I've owned the 500GB model since August. I bought it as a travel machine, but it has become my main machine. Have had no troubles. I also have a Lenovo 15". The Asus screen is so great; the size so compact, the RAID0 fast start so responsive, is it is what I am on almost all the time. Looking for improvements -- I would like 16GB of memory for big files and a 10 keypad for numeric entry. I'm happy with this -- but watching for Asus to add those feature and I will buy Asus again. My first Asus laptop, but by comparison HP and Lenovo are appliances.

First, if you are set on a 14 inch laptop like I was, this one is the deal. You can find better pricing on 15.6 inch lappys but generally they aren't as powerful. They still may meet your needs as the tendency is to overbuy. Look at the top 100 list for amazon computers

ASUS N61JQ-A1 16-Inch Versatile Entertainment Laptop has a 500gb hdd and 2yr warranty, and is priced higher accordingly. Those are the only differences.The Newegg web page is being updated to reflect 1yr warranty on the N61JQ-X1.Amazon just received stock!

I'm a software engineer and bought mine for software development. Although it's technically a "gamer" laptop, its performance is too good to pass up. It has an HDMI and VGA output for movies. I plug mine into my huge LCD tv and bought a rollerball wireless to control it from the couch. It's awesome! This thing was designed for high video and cpu use so...the sound and all just works from plugging in on HDMI cable to the TV. Even when running off the battery, I can get almost 3 moving off of one single charge. The low power consumption of this 3rd gen i7 is incredible. At work, I can go all day from the charged up status when I left the house in the morning. I highly recommend this laptop over many others.

Ha... what? I'm assuming if their is a similar model to this laptop with a "better definition" it going to have a higher resolution like 1920 x 1080 as compared to the model i own is set to a lower resolution.

Difficult question. I've never owned a Toshiba, and most people giving reviews here will likely be biased toward their own machine. I will say that a bit light research indicates: (1) ASUS NVIDIA GPU is later generation than Toshiba's and has an extra Gb of RAM, so you're going to get better graphical performance with ASUS; (2) the difference in i7-4700HQ (Asus) versus i700MQ (Toshiba) is negligible, per CPUBoss.com (slightly higher overclock capacity with Asus, if you're into that kind of thing). For the price difference, it might make sense to take a closer look at Toshiba. That said, this is my second Asus and they've both been amazing machines, so I have no regrets staying with this manufacturer.

I got the U31SD-XH51 with 2nd-Gen Intel iCore5 and a discrete nVidia GPU for heavy tasks (was on sale for $600USD) instead so I can't exactly tell you anything here. Mine runs extremely cool for browsing stuff and watching videos (fan doesn't even run at all unless I play 3D games). I also give credit to Asus for a well-designed cooling system on their laptop brand. Sources: I still own an HP-DV2210us model so I know exactly what you mean.

As with almost all laptops, replacing anything other than adding memory is extremely difficult. That said, the dual-core Pentium and Intel HD Graphics (128MB video memory), are much better than most laptops anywhere near this price point. Not to mention the 16:9 aspect ratio and number keys.

I have exactly same question ... on one side the screen is worth it (my boss has DELL 12'' and it's much better than 10''), on the other side battery life on NC20 is much shorter than NC10SE or N110 I have such a feeling NC20 will cost $550 (based no newegg.com) and it's almost $100 more which I think is not worth it

Of course it also depends on what you believe, the specs say 1920x1080 for the screen but the description says 1366x768, for the price I'm guessing the 768 but the review model that anandtech got was 1080. But they expected the price to be 1200-1500 and asus told them that they would probably ship lower cost models with.. you guessed it 768 screens. I'd hold off till someone at amazon updates everything to be accurate. I really want this but I'm not willing to guinea pig it.

As you mentioned, the main differences between the UL50Vt and UL50A are the discrete graphics and DDR3 vs. DDR2 RAM, and according to Best Buy's website, their UL50A is not Bluetooth enabled. If you're OK with not having the nVidia discrete graphics, then the Best Buy one seems to be a pretty good deal. I would stream a bunch of YouTube vids at full screen at Best Buy and if the video quality is solid (not jagged or stuttery), then you should be happy with the less expensive one. Also, supposedly the noticeable differences between DDR2 and 3 is neglible, so it all comes down to how much do you value the extra graphics and Bluetooth?

Yes - Probably one of the best laptops I have seen in a while. Samsung knows how to build things. Very light!!
