ASUS G53SW A1

G53SW has substantially reduced the release of ASUS and very popular with the larger 17.3-inch gaming notebook and G73JW G73JH. The portable design mimics the aircraft stealth bomber, especially in the back of the heat vents and recessed angled upward exhaust. G53SW is quite unique, the only notebooks that are likely to receive more attention viewers are the Alienware laptops.

G53SW more tangible surfaces are covered with a rubberized finish feels good and adds to the long-term. The device is notably absent from the shiny plastic. The G53SW is constructed entirely of plastic. The plastic is thick enough and cheap sound when tapped with your fingernail. The chassis is quite rigid, but can be folded around corners. The areas around the structure is solid, but a little cave under pressure.

ASUS G53SW-A1

The cover is secured to the frame with a single large hinge. It can open the lid with one hand. The lid bends quite easily, as well as the hinge could support a little more, because the screen may move a bit. I also want to show tilted back. Fit and finish is good, no sharp edges or unfinished. General build quality is above average, the lid could be stronger, but otherwise there is no great concern.

Update G53SW is possible but not easy. Access to RAM and hard drive requires removing the keyboard, palm rest, and various screws, then jump out of the bottom plate. G53SW is actually two hard drive bays, although most configurations only come from a single unit.

• ASUS ESC4000 GPU Server

ASUS announced the release of the ESC4000 GPU server on the 14th April 2011. Following the previous ESC server series, ASUS releases the ESC4000 GPU server in a 2U rack model. This is the first for the ESC series servers.

With this innovative high density design, the ASUS ESC4000 GPU server offers almost twice the performance relative to the similar products requiring the same space. The ASUS ESC4000 GPU server fits for various high-end applications, including scientific, weather and financial modeling, as well as advanced medical and life sciences uses, and this is mainly due to its flexible design, advanced parallel computing performance and versatile hardware.

As for the central processing unit (CPU), up to 2 CPUs can be installed on the ASUS ESC4000 GPU server at the same time to provide extra processing power. Additionally, the expansion slot architecture can support up to 4 double-deck TeslaTM M2050/2070 GPU boards, and this provides a great boost to the computational output of the ASUS ESC4000 GPU server, and can be up to 1.07 TFLOPS double precision performance at Linpack.

Referred to as 8+1 by ASUS, this new design includes 8 expansion slots and a dedicated PIKE channel, which enables many different RAID storage configurations. This new design of the ASUS ESC4000 GPU server also uses the InfiniBand™ interconnect technology, which allows data transfer with other devices linked to the server at very high speed. It is also possible to daisy-chain the ASUS ESC4000 GPU server with other servers for a powerful networking and clustering. However, you should note that these are only possible with the ESC4000/IB, where the speed is 20GB/s.

The ASUS ESC4000 GPU server also comes with an effective power saving and consumption limitation plan. The ASUS ESC4000 GPU server features an intelligent cooling design, with fan controls, as well as the ASUS exclusive EPU (Energy Processing Unit), which provides a good monitoring and control on the power requirements and tries to limit the energy consumption. The fans adapt themselves according to the prevailing temperature of the system, slowing down when the server is idle. This compromised speed, supervised by the ASUS EPU, provides an optimized performance, while saving energy at the same time.

Moreover, with the dual 80+ Gold power supplies available on the ASUS ESC4000 GPU server, uninterrupted operation is assured, as well as efficient power consumption. The ASUS ESC4000 GPU server also supports virtualization, so that users can create multiple virtual machines.

ASUS U31SD A1

ASUS continues to use a now familiar two-tone silver and black exterior. The U31SD is made of plastic with the exception of the cover, which is aluminum. Plastics are of average quality, not thin enough to qualify as cheap, but not the other way either. The chassis does not have the inner strength, and it twists easily when bent around corners. This curvature allows circuits at risk of cracks in time, if U31SD is amplified when the laptop is likely to be carried around deep.

The aluminum screen again gives a decent protection against the pressure, push in the back cover screen does not give any significant wrinkles on the screen. Aluminum is a nice touch, it would be nice the rest was covered with palm trees, alas, it is only a plastic imitation. Overall the build quality could use a revision to the next iteration of this laptop. For now, the quality is passable, but barely.
