    The only thing that confuses me of Asus notebooks is the sheer number of models. What kind of notebook is this one?

    The K53SV has a 2nd gen core i7 CPU, which will be ~15 to 20% faster or more, and a much faster and hotter running GPU which will make things like gaming much more enjoyable.
