We also found that the battery is not completely flush with the back edge of the base unit and creates an unnecessary protrusion. Instead of being fabricated from a matching grey-black plastic, the optical drive tray is merely painted to match. The HDMI and USB ports, in our opinion, are not sufficiently flush with the side surface and are slightly inset.
While equally rigid and stable, the bottom piece lacks the chic appearance of the aluminum upper piece. The top aluminum piece ends at the interfaces and is continued by the grey-black plastic bottom piece. The two-tone base unit clearly reveals its two-piece construction. While the overall impression, material, and build quality falls short of those of the Apple unibody case, Asus has nonetheless created a very high-end product that undoubtedly belongs to the premium notebook sector.

The Windows sticker on the wrist rest and Asus logo at the bottom of the display are the most obvious proof to the contrary. Were it not for the circular perforated and printed pattern, the base unit might cause a passerby to mistake the Asus device for an Apple notebook. Austere at first glance, the overall façade disguises a premium device.

The current street price of this model is approximately 1150 Euro ($1425 USD).įor the N76 family, Asus chose to use a fundamentally different case than the previous N75 family. Our test device, the N76VM-V2G-T1078V, is equipped with 8 GB RAM, 2 TB hard disk capacity, and a standard DVD writer. The user is provided with the choice of 1600x900 or 1920x1080 resolutions for the matte display. Similarly the user can select from a number of options in terms of RAM configurations, hard disk capacities, and the choice of DVD and Blu-Ray readers and writers. Both models are currently available in Germany and feature the same Intel Ivy Bridge quad-core i7-3610QM CPU as the standard processor. The N76VM is equipped with the Nvidia’s GeForce GT 630M and the N76VZ features the Nvidia’s GeForce GT 650M. As we reviewed both the N56VZ and N56VM 15-inch models a few days ago, we can confidently state that the Asus N76 closely resembles its smaller brethren and uses a virtually identical, albeit slightly larger, case.Īs with the N56 models, the N76 is available in two variants.
