ASUS N81Vp Review

The 14.1” ASUS N81Vp is a multimedia notebook designed to handle anything a user can throw at it; be it the latest games or decoding HD video. ASUS packed this notebook with 4GB of RAM, an Intel Core 2 Duo T9550 processor, and an ATI Mobility 4650 graphics card with 1GB of GDDR3 memory. ASUS doesn’t directly target the gaming market segment with this system, but given its specs we see no reason why it couldn’t be one of the best performing 14.1” notebooks.

Build and Design
The N81Vp has a very low-key design that looks classy from the outside, without any bright colors or graphics that stand out. The exterior has glossy black and dark bronze metallic paint with a vertical broken-line pinstripe pattern. Inside the color changes to an ash-gold finish with the same pinstripe pattern on the palmrest and trim with chrome touchpad buttons and a black keyboard. I think the design looks nice, being very similar to what HP has done with notebooks in the DV series.

Build quality is above average with solid and durable plastics used throughout the chassis. Fit and finish is excellent with no rough edges or panel overhang. The chassis feels very rigid with little flex carrying it by the corner of the palmrest. The screen cover gives the display a good amount of protection, showing no ripples even with strong pressure from my fingertips on the backside of the LCD. The cover also does a good job of spreading out an impact from heavy taps, showing no pressure points on the perimeter of the LCD.

The underside of the notebook allows users to upgrade all the user-serviceable components through two access panels. Neither panels were marked with “warranty void if removed” stickers.

Display
The 16:9 ratio 1366x768 screen is pretty good compared to other systems, with excellent color saturation and contrast from the glossy surface. Backlight levels are high and bleed is minimal around all the edges. The screen would be quite usable outdoors as long as you are in some shade to prevent direct glare from the sun. Viewing angles are average with the screen quickly inverting at lower angles and washing out at higher angles. Horizontal viewing angles are good with minimal distortion as you move to the far edges of the screen.

Connecting the N81Vp to my Sony HDTV through the HDMI connection worked without any problems. I tested its performance at 1280x720 and 1920x1080, which works just fine handling normal activities and HD movie decoding.

Keyboard and Touchpad
The keyboard is full-size without any condensed keys around the border. The key arrangement could be better considering this is a gaming notebook ... ASUS strangely placed the function key on the far left, instead of control. The keyboard is comfortable to type on with little pressure needed to activate the individual keys. The keys have a matte finish which gives them a slight bit of traction compared to glossy keys found on many other notebooks. Keyboard support is very good with minimal flex under strong pressure, a big plus for frequent typists.

The large Synaptics touchpad is easy to use and very responsive. Sensitivity is good after a bit of adjustment putting the sensitivity to the lightest touch setting. The matte surface texture is easy to glide your finger across when sweaty after longer use. The touchpad buttons require more pressure than what is normally required to click which does get annoying after a while. They provide shallow feedback and give a loud positive click when pressed.

Performance
System performance with the Intel Core 2 Duo T9550 and ATI Mobility Radeon 4650 is well above average for a notebook of this size; even holding its own against larger machines. The system handles all modern games at its native resolution, Crysis not included unless you tweak the settings. The 7200RPM Seagate drive and 4GB of system memory keep the system humming along without any hiccups and keep load times to a minimum. Boot and shutdown times are excellent, and the speed of the system helps with everything from zippy software installation to fast level loads in games.

*All 3DMark06 benchmark tests are set at 1280 x 800 screen resolution. However, due to the screen resolution limit on the N81Vp we benchmarked that notebook at 1280 x 768.

HDTune storage drive performance results:

Ports and Features
Port selection is fantastic. ASUS managed to cram an optical drive, 5 USB ports, eSATA, HDMI, VGA, LAN, modem, audio ports, and a FireWire connector onto the N81Vp’s 14.1” chassis. Most 17” notebooks don’t even include five USB ports and ASUS did this without a combo eSATA port. The notebook also includes a SDHC multi-card reader and ExpressCard/54 slot for expansion.

Front: IR reciever, speakers

Rear: TV antenna (if equipped), AC power, 2 USB, VGA, HDMI, eSATA, LAN, modem, Kensington lock slot

Left: SDHC multicard slot, optical drive, 1 USB, FireWire, ExpressCard/54, speakers/mic

Right: 2 USB

ASUS includes a couple freebies with the purchase of the N81Vp, including a USB mouse and basic computer case. The mouse isn’t all that great, but it is free, portable, and works just fine if you are in a pinch. The free case is very basic and provides moderate protection for the notebook. It has a single carrying handle or shoulder strap for transport and two pockets for storage. I think the included case is a great idea since it keeps the notebook safe until you get a better case or it can be used by itself.

Speakers and Audio
The speakers sound average for a 14.1” notebook without anything that really sets these speakers apart from the crowd. Volume levels are acceptable with bass and midrange audio leaving a bit to be desired. With ASUS targeting this notebook to the multimedia segment it fully supported HDMI digital audio out to a TV or home theater receiver.

Battery
Battery life isn’t that good compared to other 14” notebooks, but most don’t have an Intel T9550 processor or ATI 4650 graphics card. With the display brightness set to 70%, wireless active, and Vista on the “Balanced” profile the N81Vp remained on for 2 hours and 20 minutes before going into standby mode with 3% remaining. The idle power consumption fluctuated between 19 and 21 watts.

Heat and Noise
System noise is managed very well under a higher system load, pushing a good amount of air without making a lot of noise. Under normal activity the system fan is either off or spinning very low, and quiet enough that it shouldn’t be noticed in a classroom. Heat is a no concern what-so-ever while gaming even with the small size combined with the powerful processor and GPU. The cooling system keeps enough air flowing through the system that the chassis stays cool under stress. Under normal situations the system doesn’t get that hot, in line with many other standard 14.1” notebooks.

Conclusion
The ASUS N81Vp is hands-down the fastest 14” notebook we have reviewed and easily holds its own against other larger notebooks. Even though it is technically targeted towards multimedia users I think it would be a perfect mobile gaming rig. Build quality is great, with most of the chassis’s strength coming from the fact that so much stuff is crammed into a small space there is no open cavity to flex. Battery life is one aspect that is well below average, but we don’t hold it against ASUS since the Intel T9550 and ATI 4650 are far from energy efficient. The price is great for the features you get, but if you can live with a larger laptop you can get a full-size gaming rig for the same amount.

Pros:

• Excellent cooling system
• Fast processor and GPU stuffed inside a 14.1" chassis
• Good build quality
• More ports than most 17" notebooks

Cons:

• Battery life isn't that good with its high-end configuration

AWESOME!! FIRST!!

Anyway That screen is REALLY sweet also the build being solid was no surprise.

Ports Galore on this, a really a great time to like notebooks

6000 3D Mark STOCK is great now lets see whos gonna pump these things out to 8000+

That battery life is really good considering that is a power processor and a stock battery. Give it a P series CPU and 9 cell your looking at close to 4 hours.

 

I like this model a lot, it has a few small quirks that keep me from changing over from my bigger beefier g50v. For a 14" though this thing is loaded and priced to kill.

What is up with models coming with 4gb of ram and a 32bit OS... they really need to work on that.

 

very nice review a very nice laptop as well

 

the chasis is a little big. its like a 15 inch chassis with a 14 inch screen. its still very portable though.

 

Don't forget that the scores are inflated by the screen size. Sure, you could get 8000+, just turn down resolution to 800 x 600 or lower.

The bezel on the top looks somewhat larger than the one on my N80vn, but about the same on the sides. Quite surprising considering I'm using 1280 x 800.

 

Great in-depth review, Kevin.
With better drivers and Power4Gear set at Super Performance mode, I think you can pull an extra 400-500 points on 3Dmark06 without any issues.

 

Well the 3dmark is run at 1280 x 800 so i still think even at that res they can hit 8000+ with a little overclocking here and there.

 

N81vp = 16:9.

Secondly, it's boosted in part by the fact that it's running a processor that is more powerful than the usual 2.0 to 2.4 Ghz processor running in most models that are tested and the fact that it's using an ATI card, which tends to score higher on 3dmark06. 32 pixels isn't much, but I'm merely pointing out that the 6k figure is not necessarily a good indicator of actual performance.

 

you are right considering that additional 32 is gonna make the 3dmark substantially less

 

The 4650 is hardly a baby step from a ddr3 9600, but being in a 14" with great cooling is very impressive. Give it time and 4830/60's will be in such small laptops... anyway, this thing is beast. Good review!

 

When a computer can not run a benchmark at its native res you have to run it on an external monitor to use the score with any kind of weight.

This is a common mistake for 3dmark06 scores to be pushed around and many of them invalid due to resolution.

3dmark Vantage finally fixed this because the different tests are actually based on the resolution it is run

 

That's a good point you brought up. Maybe it's time for NBR to make the switch to Vantage or at least add that on top of the 06 benchmark.

 

Is 4% less considered substantially less? Is 4% less area to render substantially less? What would you consider substantially less? 10%? 20%? 50%?

Try removing 4% of the current score to give a rough idea of how it would perform at 1280 x 800. That brings you down to 5772. That's still an excellent score, but how much of that figure is boosted by the better than average CPU, or the fact that it's an ATI card?

Dropping it to a 2.4 Ghz would probably still net you a score of 5500 to 5600. ATI card advantage is unquantifiable, but the 3dmark06 performance vs actual performance of the 3870s should give you a clue.

 

When is the last (or first) time that you saw a game resolution that was only a few pixels lower than the current one you were using? It has to stay in aspect and it goes by standard resolution chart settings.

If it can not do a full res it goes down quite a bit, also its all about the total MP value. In your head looking at 500x500 and 600x600 that seems like a not so big difference right? only 100 pixels each way.

You have to multiply it out though. 500x500 is 250000 pixels to render while 600x600 is 360000. Thats a difference of 110000 pixels almost like 22% more pixels.

Plus the standard 3dmark06 resolution is 1280x1024 I have no idea where this 1200x800 stuff is coming from.

 

That was my point.

I did multiply it. 1280 x 768 is 4% fewer pixels than 1280 x 800. I was merely pointing out that 32 pixels lower in height may be more substantial than one imagines. Which I gather was also your point with the 100 pixel drop example.

In addition to that, the 1280 x 800 is due to the fact that many consumer laptops, especially lower-end models come with that screen, or the 1366 x 768 that is growing increasingly common. I guess it's NBR's lowest common denominator. It would be nice if they would output it into an external monitor and run the tests, but NBR does not seem to be in any rush to do so.

 

I do for my reviews

Its the only way you can legitimately site your 3dmark06 scores to compare to any table of results like the orb database. If you want to run it at a lower resolution you need to specifically state you did so and not compare it to any other users scores. You start mixing apples and oranges and false information.

 

Yea, I noticed. You should tell them that.

That's why the results are run at NBR's standard 1280 x 800 and compared to the scores in other NBR reviews. It's when users start throwing in different results from different resolutions do you get a massive CF.

N81vp looks like an outstanding machine, but I'm quite happy with my N80vn, well except that it doesn't game like my D901C, but I can't exactly blame it. I'll take the hit in performance for the 16:10 screen.

Kevin, does the keyboard on the right side feel less sturdy than the left? The N80vn's had that issue if I recall correctly.

 

Nice review, it pushed me over the edge. Just ordered one from Gentech.
Honestly, my only reservation was the loudness of the trackpad buttons, which were startlingly loud in one of the Gentech videos and noted in the review (and other places) but I will combat it with a VX nano.

Thanks for a great review (and community)

 

It is pretty loud. I like the way how Kevin describes it as a loud positive click though.

The touchpad is definitely not a good choice for classroom use.

 

I wish they used the Elantech stuff on more machines. With the EEE you never even touch the actual buttons, just do a 2 finger tap for a click and 3 fingers for a right click. Its faster and makes no sound.

 

Wen't to the GenTech website and found these 3DMARK06 benchmarks

1024x768....6852
1280x768....6399
1280x1024..5719
1600x1200..4817
Great review, seeing the close up pictures of this laptop has me thinking it actually doesn't look too bad,I was having second thoughts about the color scheme but it's starting to win me over...it looks real sharp even with the bronze color on the inside.
Everybody that want's to see some actual gameplay footage should go to the Gentech site, the game demos look real smooth, and it even plays Crysis pretty well.
I'm impressed by it's performance, and I thought ATI cards had trouble playing Crysis, looks good to me!
How does the other model the N80Vn-X5 stack up against this thing it has a P8600 CPU but uses a Nvidia 9650
M GT, obviously the CPU is weaker but can the Nvidia card stand up to the ATI card it also has 1GB for video memory?
Basically I'm asking which GPU is better? Newegg.com-ASUS N80 has them for $1049.99 you can always upgrade the CPU to something better, let's say a T9800 or X9100, now that would be something!

 

My ATI cards play it fine, I have had trouble getting crossfire to work on it though.

edit: the link for those not familiar with gentechs site - http://1toppc.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=SRCH&Store_Code=GPS&search=N80

If this thing had a quad core option id get it, and then upgrade the hdd to 500gb and be very happy. But already having a G50V this is not an upgrade so I have to hold out. Though I would much welcome the smaller size and better looks.

 

Again Red_Dragon, you're mostly fine but sometimes you really get on my nerves. Don't jump on that 6K straight away, then ask "who is gonna pump these to 8K". ATI cards largely depend on the CPU in synthetic benchmarks, highlighted by the 3870s 3000 point increase from a P8600 to a X9100.

Secondly, ATI cards do well in synthetic benchmarks, but usually fall back in real life performance.

Thirdly, it was run at 1280 by 768. That's 300 less pixels than 1280 by 1024, so you are actually looking at a result of 5300-400 if they ran it at the standard res. That's hardly impressive, especially for one of those "godly 4000 series" ATI cards you've been preaching about.

 

The 9650 is about 700-800 points weaker than the 4650. The 1GB of memory makes no difference.

Regarding the CPU upgrade possiblities, you really don't give a about power consumption, do you IKAS ?

 

Going further on that, 300 pixels is only height-wise, it also means a 25% decrease in pixels area wise, and we would be wise to expect a corresponding 25% or so decrease in performance, which you did.

Just for comparison's sake I just ran my 9650 with P8400 at 1280 x 800 and got 4715. I have some of the Asus utilities, Firefox and Avast going, not sure what Gentech has going in the background, but if I recall correctly, NBR does not disable any programs, allowing benchmarks to run as-is, in order to give an accurate representation of what owners should expect at opening the box, that would probably play a role in the lower scores we're seeing on NBR.

 

Not really!
If I'm on the road it probably will either be plugged into a wall or a car charger so if you shave 30 minutes or even 1 hour of battery life I can deal with that, + I'm guessing you can always get a bigger battery if you really need one.
Hey if you can squeeze out a little more gaming power with a CPU upgrade I'm all for it!

 

Nvidia cards are no different, 3dmark is a cpu & gpu benchmark. When you run the test it gives separate scores but unfortunately the general public goes by the total score.

I find ATI & Nvidia to do exactly the same in 3dmark06 no one has an advantage, Vantage Nvidia has a large advantage due to the CUDA stuff giving false cpu numbers.

In games nobody falls behind its a blow met with a blow as both compete on even ground edging out one another on a game per game basis.

Some games run a bit better on the nvidia configured hardware while others do better on ATI.

Since the cpu numbers are not going to change in one system to the next by any significant degree and it scales linearly you can easily compare the two cards as long as you have the same testing resolution. Ken @ Gentech tested the other (proper) resolutions and thus a good comparison can be made.

There is no need to start some kind of flame war, personal stuff like "you annoy me" should be saved for a PM.

Personally I am all for ATI stuff right now since Nvidia has sold a huge number of defective cards and pretty much left the buyers with no resoltuion, and now there new cards are just re badged versions of the old cards while ATI actually has a new pcb & process to work on.

 

To be fair though, Red Dragon is certainly going by the total score, which, for better or worse, is the score provided by NBR. Doesn't plasma have a point about the ATI total scores being boosted more strongly by CPU upgrades as well? I don't have any ATI GPUs handy to test this on, but that was the impression I got looking at the earlier Mobility HD 2XXX and 3XXX series.

This brings up a point I was thinking about this earlier as well, would it be reasonable for NBR to add the SM 2.0 and SM 3.0 scores as well?

 

What does 3dmark prove anyway...

 

Bragging rights, most likely.

 

Nothing....It's just a "synthetic" benchmark that proves nothing, yeah you can debate all night about the scores but my eyes don't lie, just look at the game demos, they look very smooth and gameplay is great,now that's what's important.
To me anyway,you cannot deny this is a great performing laptop.
So everyone agrees the ATI card is better performer for gaming than the Nvidia card( that slightly edges it out on most games anyways).

 

Oh, and btw the battery life for that thing is really poor. Asus need to get their act together on battery life. Even if it is using a T9550 + 4650, that's still very similar power consumption to a T9400 + 3650/9600M GT, laptops like the VAIO FW, Dv5t all get way more battery life.

 

No a nvidia card is going to get boosted the same amount from a cpu upgrade.

The ONLY way that could change is if a cpu bottleneck was present and you got past that with a faster cpu. I feel this is virtually impossible with a current age c2d on a mobile gpu.

If it was true for some reason that only means the ATI card had more power that it could not use before because the cpu could not keep up, meaning it was a better card than it was made out to be with the slower cpu. So your looking at two possible scarios.

The ATI & Nvidia cards are the same in terms of cpu scaling or the ATI card was better but had false results when paired with a slower cpu.

 

I do not know for sure, but my guess is that those models have a bigger or higher rated battery if they have similar features and much longer life. There is no magic trick to perform to magically get more life out of the same hardware, its just pure math.

The only variables are the power save modes and any user variables (what your doing, screen brightness, turning things off not needed like wifi or bluetooth)

 

This review says the N81VP has 4MB DDR3-1066 ram installed. But everywhere else says that it has DDR2-800 ram installed. The Asus website doesn't state the type of ram it uses.

So which type of ram this notebook uses, DDR3-1066 or DDR2-800?

 

On the Gentech website it's listed as DDR2 800(2x2G)

 

It's a typo on the review. The N81Vp only comes with DDR2 800mhz memory.

 

The other thing I was thinking since it has 4GB's of RAM wouldn't VISTA 64 be a better option than VISTA 32?

 

Absolutely. It's silly for Asus to put a 32bit OS in a notebook that is stocked with 4gb of memory. This and the fact that the FN and CTRL keys are inverted are things that I can never learn to appreciate.

 

Not sure how much better 32-bit over 64-bit is but with all the extra RAM it should be a little faster.I think!
This laptop it sure generating some buzz!
This is starting to look like my first laptop with a ATI GPU.
Does anybody know if it has a ASUS boost/turbo button to OC the CPU?
That would be a great option without having to upgrade the CPU.

 

Nah, I think those are only for the G series.

 

32bit vs 64bit = same speed for most thing, though there are now starting to be more 64bit apps out there and they can only be used on a 64bit OS. Thos apps generally run a bit faster in 64bit mode.

A good example of one that benifits me is x264 the H264 encoder. The 64bit version of it is about 10% faster, and when a movie can take from 1 to 24 hours to encode 10% adds up to really meaning something.

Besides that it wont make a big difference in your average laptop. You will get about 3 to 3.2gb of the 4gb ram in a 32bit OS and I think people are confused in how ram works to some degree.

More ram does not = faster computer once you have enough to comfortably store all your temp data in the ram instead of using the page file.

2gb of ram is enough to do this, so 3gb has you sitting comfy.

There are only 2 things I can think of that will shoot you past 3gb of ram and give you more speed or better performance having more than 3gb.

1.) Video editing using ram preview mode, more ram = longer preview. Its usefull but not needed.

2.) High end gaming, when you toss 1920x1200 maxed out in CoD4 or Crysis those textures and things will fill your ram faster than a pitcher of beer can fill your stomach You need a lot of ram and if you do not have it the game is going to "stutter" from having to pause and load textures off the hard drive.

In both cases the computer did not actually run faster but it gave you some sort of benifit.

But you should probably be able to conclude without me telling you that chances are your not ever going to be under any of those circumstances on your laptop.

So besides the few x64 apps out now you seek to actually gain little in moving to x64 and getting that 1gb of ram more. Its more of just a piece of mind thing.

I want that piece of mind though and I just think its a 1 step forward 2 steps back thing to install 4gb of ram and use x86 OS. but I guess its for drivers issues or cost of the OS (they probably have a lot more x86 licenses than x64 and need to use them)

 

It doesn't really matter to me, the first thing I do when buying a new laptop will be installing 64 bit Windows 7.

 

I really want to say nice review

but the system is going to need at least 1 more battery which bumps the travel weight to about 7 pounds....much too much for a 14.1" system

Fully spec'd the Samsung 14.1 and HP dv4 series are plenty

for approx 1500$ and 1.6 inches of thickness you would think that ASUS would just make the system w/ a 15" WUXGA screen...any system that is over 6lbs travel weight had better be under 1" thick or much lower priced than 1000

and this one is 1400_+ tax/shipping/ + cost of spare battery...too much

but great review!

 

Almost perfect. A little thinner, a little more battery life.....
I think ASUS did a great job with heat and noise.

 

To be fair I think the battery life test needs to be done in power save mode before anybody can say the battery life is poor.

Thats what that mode is designed for.

 

Oh my...solid built, good performance, quiet and cool, now if they add a subwoofer (probably make it 15" as well) then I am really beaten.

 

the new hd4650 seems to scale extremely well with resolution, 4.8k at 1600*1200? that's impressive.

 

Rechecked the RAM installed and it is actually DDR2, corrected the list.
