Product Description
The predominant hue of the K53E-RBR4 is a deep chocolate brown, and its lid is adorned with a textured pattern of interlocking horizontal and diagonal lines that gives the laptop a snakeskin feel. The only other feature on the lid is a silvery Asus logo, located just above center. You'll find that brown color when you open up the laptop as well, on the palm rest (where the texture continues) and the keyboard deck (where it gives way to a much smoother finish). There's plenty of black inside as well: glossy on the bezel surrounding the 15.6-inch, 1,366-by-768 widescreen display (which has a webcam embedded in the top portion), matte for the space between the Chiclet-style keys, the keys themselves, and the Altec Lansing speaker bar located just above them.

The keys were, for the most part, fine for typing, though detail-oriented power users may mind that there's no right Window key here: just Alt, the context-sensitive menu key, and a double-width control key. To the right of that are the four arrow keys, which reinforce that there are no dedicated media keys on this keyboard: The arrows double as Play/Pause, Rewind, Fast Forward, and Stop, and the volume controls are secondary functions assigned to F10, F11, and F12. At least there's also a number pad present on the right side, though its keys are slightly narrower than those used on the rest of the keyboard. The smooth touch pad is accompanied by two firm, clicky mouse buttons.
Measuring about 1.4 by 14.9 by 10 inches (HWD) and weighing 5.6 pounds, the K53E-RBR4 represents an approximately average amount of portability for a 15-inch budget laptop.
