The ASUS N61JV is a 16-inch display laptop with all the latest bells and whistles. While its size means that it is technically a desktop replacement unit, ASUS have made the laptop very thin and mobile. At 2.8kg with a six-cell battery, it is at least two times lighter than most other laptops of the same class, most of which weigh around 7kg and above. Going for a standard corporate black look with a glossy finish the laptop looks like most other laptops, which means it looks good but doesn’t have any really stylized features. The laptop has a full keyboard, including the numeric keypad, but the main keys have been made larger for more comfort. The touch-pad is nice and large with multi-gesture features.
