I want to ask those who really know (assorted) a laptop ASUS N551JM-CN098H if it can install 2 SSD drives and what format is Half-Slim SATA, mSATA, mSATA mini, I don’t ask about the rest there is no place. I'm going to purchase this device and I think what to put there for the operating system. The regular 1Tb 5400 RPM, you know, niochem, everything will only slow down: happy:

The question is this. Is this thing suitable for the connector?http://www.ulmart.ru/goods/794586
How then with the system, if that?



Rep: (0)
As I understand it - no. By the connector of course yes, but the size is not the same.

Good day,

Tell me, was the disk with windows included?
I took the SSD I want to go to it, but I can not find the disk :(

Hello everyone!) I got this beast a week ago ... Quiet like that. Although I still had some kind of excitement. It is associated with temperatures. For monitoring I used the Aida64 program. When idle, surfing the Internet, working in such programs as: Mathcad and Word, the processor temperature is about 50 (46-53) degrees Celsius and lower on the video card. Also, when idle or performing the above listed operations, the lower right part of the case and the area in the upper part of the touchpad warms up significantly and even slightly higher, or rather, these areas are always noticeably warm. I think the hard drive is located on the lower right, but I don’t know in the touchpad area ...
Also, I would like to note that with singles companies in games such as: Medal of Honor 2010, Battlefield 3, at high-ultra settings, but without smoothing and sometimes a resolution less than 1920-1080, the processor heats to a maximum of 80 or so after 30 minutes of play, then the temperature does not change (it seems). In the network game Medal of Honor 2010 at low settings, the processor produced 80 degrees, and Battlefield 3 (server with 20-40 players) at medium and ultra settings, the processor gave 85 degrees after 2 hours of play. Perceived temperature in the center of the keyboard. At the time of the game I looked at the processor load in the task manager, there was a load of about 40-50%. I did not observe a drop in performance ...
I would like to ask the "model brothers": "What are your temperature indicators?". Knowing people, tell me, is it normal what I described? Unfortunately, I do not have sufficient knowledge for at least an approximate assessment ... I hope for your answer. :)
And yes, the hard disk often crackles ...

Hi people!
During use, the next joint was noticed. WiFi speed varies in steps. If my friends on different computers have a stable download speed of 27-29Mb / s, and the transfer rate is from 20 to 29. I also get a download speed of 20 and a transfer of 5, then it gives a download speed of 15 and a transfer of 2 Mb / s. I used speedtest.net for testing.
Very trouble this trouble. I read that the adapter of this laptop qualcomm atheros ar9485wb-eg is weak and there are always problems with users in general.
Who faced a similar problem? This nonsense terribly annoys me, it is impossible to play normally network games. I tried to stream from PC to Android in the GeForce Experience using the Moonlight program, so there are also terrible brakes because of the signal delay from the computer. So it seems to sit and play at the computer in singles and do not complain, but still you want to play on the network, and having relaxed to lie on the sofa, picking up a gamepad and a smartphone would not hurt either. Resent very much, for such a price and such problems. Although, perhaps, this shnyaga is associated with updating Windows, because at first he played in the ball and was gorgeous, but then the frantic tin ping started, although the roommate plays and does not complain. We sit from one router. The neighbor has a Broadcom adapter.

I join the company of the owners of this miracle. I decided to write a small review on my own study, who can come in handy =)

Performance. Gaming performance at a high level. All the latest masterpieces igrostroy pulls with a bang (assassin's creed: unity is not tested, but checked the witcher and GTA). The processor draws almost any tasks quite normally, without trotting.

Cooling. The critical temperature for this processor is 100C, 95C is considered dangerous, so everything is normal, but I would like better cooling, given the summer. In addition, it is not clear why the top of the touchpad and the right bottom side of the laptop are heated. In general, while everything is within the normal range, but will the thermal paste last for a long time ....

Case Isborka. If we do not consider the heating (very tangible) of the cover under the keyboard (the right lower part and the top of the touchpad) to be critical, aluminum, as a material, justified itself. The laptop lid bends poorly, but the matrix floats at the slightest touch, which is actually not critical (screen without a touch screen, no need to poke a finger at it =). A good matrix, but you have to watch what you take (there is a tn-film matrix, there is an ips (plc samsung) matrix). You can distinguish between the viewing angles, they are bad for tn-film matrices. In addition, there is a matte / anti-reflective screen coating. But the keyboard is a little pumped up. The key travel is nice and pleasant, but Cyrillic is written on the buttons rather strange ... as if with different fonts, sometimes ugly (having a laptop, look at the K = button). If you do not pay attention to it, then it will completely come down. The backlight is also chosen strange for such a keyboard, i.e. her color The color of the keyboard is light gray, the backlight is white ... If you turn it on in daylight, the characters become difficult to see, although at night it can also help (if you look at the keyboard from above).

Sound. There is an external subwoofer. With him, the sound is excellent, soft and juicy (for a laptop, of course). But without it, the sound becomes normal, without pronounced low frequencies.

Power usage. 3-5 hours of battery life, depending on the running applications, I think is the norm for a laptop of this class.

Wi-Fi module. Completely standard module. I did not notice any particular pros or cons. But there are a lot of reports of poor module performance. In extreme cases, it can be replaced.

PS: As a supporter of the open source, I immediately stuck it in dualbook ubuntu 15.04. The problem was only with the keys fn + F5 / F6 (brightness). The solution is on the ubuntu forum and is very simple. Everything works fine in Windows, in Ubunt. Buying happy as an elephant. The best that can now be found at a reasonable price in my opinion. In general, did not disappoint, but did not put ssd. There, probably, will be even steeper =)

ZYZY: What kind of Asusov application strongly distorts the transfer of the color of the screen. In general, I recommend rearranging the system after purchase. The image can be downloaded from the site of Microsoft (I remind you, there is Windows for one language). Drivers and any Asusov pribludy, if needed, is on the site of the asus. Regarding the loss of warranty when replacing hdd with ssd and optibay inserts. The warranty is not lost, it is written in pieces of paper on the laptop.

* disterg,
Hello!
Tell me, please, what is the temperature of the processor on your laptop now in the summer? My temperature on the street is about 19 degrees, the temperature of the processor is about 60 (+ -3 degrees). In general, at this air temperature in May, it was even smaller, about 50, and then it was strange. Maybe I'm exaggerating, but still.
* disterg,
It seems to figure it out, the torrent has warmed up the CPU by 7 - 10 degrees (CPU load is about 25%) ... The temperature during Internet surfing and with a processor load is about 8% in the range of 46-56 degrees. It seems to be normal :)



Rep: (3)
* disterg, The program that distorts the image is called Splendid Utility, delete it and there are no problems.

* UnknownCaptain WI-FI is really buggy, but you can replace it, I'm already looking at it. I am looking for a dual band (2.4 and 5ghz) + bluetooth 4 all in one at once, such a module of the order of 3-5 kilorubles costs in China ((



Rep: (11)

Yes, in the minimum load somewhere 45C +/- 5 degrees. It seems to be normal. The only thing that annoys now is the heating of the body near the clave. Those. the fact that it cools down for a long time ... although, maybe because now I am in an apartment without Conder and there is constant stuffiness in the apartment.
Proizvoditel
Yes, I recalled how this program is called. There you can turn off this misunderstanding in the program itself, but I don’t need it at all.

I don’t know about wi-fi ... I rummage badly in them ... I would be grateful if someone advises how to test the module for stability and so on, because I have Intel’s in stock. I do not know whether to replace or not ... everything seems to be in order and with this.

* disterg,
About heating the case, I wrote above. Also, the upper part of the touchpad is heated and on the lower left of the case. Probably these are bridges of the motherboard (maybe I said stupidity). The bottom of the hard drive is heated, sort of. I think if you put a solid-state drive or replace it with another one with a large number of revolutions, it will be better. Although a greater number of revolutions, perhaps, implies a higher temperature :) In general, probably, the cooling of the hard disk, as such, is not particularly provided for in this model, there is not a dash of air when the bottom is withdrawn.



Rep: (11)
UnknownCaptain
Increasing revolutions would rather talk about increasing the noise emitted by the screw. I meant, why the temperature is transferred from the screw to the case, why there is no gasket on top, but there is a bottom? And the top of the touchpad (I didn’t understand it completely, but I saw it in the photo) is really heated from behind the bridge. Again, why it was impossible to insulate, at least partially ... Maybe this, of course, is such an idea of ​​engineers to partially dissipate heat through the case? =)

By the way, I tried to install the wi-fi module intel n2230 from the old computer. Bottom line: on the asus, it wound up perfectly under ubuntu (just picked up and earned), but flatly refused to start up on the windows. Vents see the module, put firewood, but do not give a start. I thought that conflicts with the old drivers. Rearranged the system, zero sense. What is remarkable, on the other laptop with which the modules have changed, intel works under the same windows 8.1 and does not complain.

Now for some interesting observations. I drove both modules under ubuntu and under the vents through speedtest. It was based on one specific server. Results: Ubuntu on the Qualcoom module gives the same performance on both laptops: 9-10 ping and speed is approximately equal (within the margin of error), it showed itself worse under the vent windows: 13-18 ping, the speed is the same. The module from Intel showed itself everywhere the same, except for Windows on the asus (described above, could not start).
Maybe a little later I still dig out with these modules.

* disterg,
In general, the presence of a gasket will imply insulation, and the insulation will reduce heat transfer. Let it be better without gaskets, I think so) Most likely this idea, the more aluminum housing. All the same there knowledgeable people design.
As for my problem with wifi, I turned to a specialist on the ASUS website. Answered, offered to update the BIOS and drivers for network modules. I still can not do it. If something happens, and if I don’t forget it, I’ll write here what I updated and how.

Well, at one time, "smart" people from HP have designed so many overheating laptops that I still don’t trust them in this regard ... Well, time will tell. I just compare it to the past with my lenovo y500 sli laptop ... there the case heating was much less, although also aluminum ... or so it seems to me =)

The latest version of the BIOS, judging by the site of the asus, is 204 ... do I have exactly this, or did they offer / send something else? While I can’t definitely say something about the module, I cannot ... it seems to be shaking normally, although there are speed jumps, but they are insignificant.

Hello.

Does anyone have a 20% processor idle? When charging is disabled, this figure drops to 5%. The processor is loaded by the system / interrupts process
