The N550JK is a well-built device with an elegant design. It boasts a 15.6-inch HD IPS display with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels that makes viewing HD videos a delight. The backlit chiclet keyboard has the same silver color as the palm rest and provides a comfortable typing experience. Its large touchpad is responsive and is compatible with Windows 8 gestures. Under the hood, the ASUS N550JK-DS71T packs a Quad-Core Intel Core i7 processor backed by 8 GB of RAM and dedicated Nvidia GeForce graphics. The resulting performance is stellar, and it copes well with light gaming. This system comes with the 64-bit version of Windows 8.1, which works well with the impressive array of on-body connections, including a mini Display port, SDXC card slot, and HDMI output.
