Editorial note

The Asus N501JW is a laptop that stands out for its powerful performance, thanks to its Intel® Core™ i7-4720HQ processor. This configuration allows for smooth execution of applications and efficient management of multiple tasks, making it an ideal choice for users requiring high computing power. Additionally, its 15.6-inch 4K Ultra HD display offers exceptional picture quality, perfect for multimedia activities and viewing high-definition content. In terms of storage, this model offers a combined capacity of 1128 Go (HDD + SSD), providing great flexibility for data storage and quick access to files thanks to the SSD. The nickel-metal hybrid battery technology (NiMH) with 6 cells also ensures extended battery life, allowing for daily use without interruption. However, the weight of 2060 g may make it less portable, especially for those who need to frequently transport their device. Furthermore, the lack of USB 2.0 ports and multiple USB 3.2 ports may restrict connectivity with some older peripherals. The pre-installed operating system, Windows 8.1 Pro, may not suit all users, particularly those who prefer newer versions like Windows 10 or 11. Finally, while the 8 Go internal memory is acceptable for standard use, it may prove insufficient for intensive tasks or heavy applications. The absence of a numeric keypad may also disappoint users who frequently perform numeric entries. In summary, the Asus N501JW is a high-performing and versatile laptop, but it has some limitations in terms of portability and connectivity that should be considered based on each user's needs.
