Question 1

Is there anyway for me to find the drivers for this laptop for windows 10 64bit and windows 8.1 64bit?

Accepted Answer

ASUS says that they are available on their support page, but 0 results are available for FX53VW.

Question 2

what are some SSD's that i can use to upgrade this?

Accepted Answer

This was somewhat confusing to me before I bought it, so I will try to clarify for others. There is a regular SATA laptop hard drive in this laptop and an EMPTY m.2 slot. So I suggest you buy a 850 EVO M.2 2280 (or any other m.2 drive). This will allow you to keep the TB hard drive it already has, as extra storage.

Question 3

How can you open the back? i unscrewed all 8 screws and loosened the sides but something is holding it in the middle. Didnt wannt pull on it too hard and bend anything...

Accepted Answer

See the L/Z-shaped rubber very middle of the back? Peel it off (don't worry, it's sticky enough to just be plopped back on), and you'll see the last screw underneath.

Question 4

What are the RAM speces so I can find what is compatible to upgrade? Is the max supported RAM really 16GB? Does I install SAMSUNG 850 EVO M.2 2280 on it? Will I void the warranty if I upgrade?

Accepted Answer

Don't know about the warranty but it seems that ASUS (or Newegg) didn't want to spend the .0003 cents to include the screw that holds in the SSD, so you will have to buy the screw somewhere.

Question 5

Will I be able to install and boot windows from a Intel SSD 600p Series (256GB, M.2 2280 80mm NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4, 3D1, TLC)?

Accepted Answer

Despite what specs may say, I was unable after much research and support phone time to get system to even detect a 600p 256GB NVMe M.2 drive. Looks like I'm going to try a fallback plan of SATA III SSD.

Question 7

I received the laptop and the mini displayport doesn't actually exist on the laptop. Are the specifications wrong about this video port?

Accepted Answer

The original listing said it had a displayport, but it looks like the listing has been changed.

Question 8

Does this have 2 sata hdd slots?

Accepted Answer

It has one more SATA slot open

Question 9

What type of integrated graphics card does this laptop have?

Accepted Answer

It has a Nvidia GeForce GTX 960m which is a dedicated graphics card
