any sugestion?

processor is latest one, Athlon QL65 dual core with 2.1Ghz,
graphic ATI HD4570 with dedicated memory but can up to 1.9GB shared memory.

and here is the spec k50ab
CPU: AMD Athon64 X2 QL64 2.1GHz 1MB total L2 cache
Operating System: Red Flag Linux
Memory: 2GB DDR2-667 stock, up to 4GB (it support and give DDR2 800 but limited to 667MHz because of 64 X2 limitation)
Graphics Card: ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD4570 with 512MB DDR2 VRAM 680Mhz core 500MHz memory with onboard HD 3200 via PowerXpress

urgent information
*
First of all, Athlon QL65 is not the latest processor for k40/50ab
Turion RM-75 is da one.. with 2.2Ghz

Well.. performance on both lappys are the same.. it just depends on the size u want, the numpad? portability?

There's a slight guide in the first few posts comparing both k40 and k50.

is k40ab and k50ab has a diffrence prices? is lowyat selling the k50ab? anyone bought this laptop from there?

and the hot running (60-70C idle with the back cover close, load approaching 100C) will cause the laptop goes down easily?
*
they should fairly be same priced.. as in retail.. but you wont know what the shops price them to be..

Its normal to have tis temperature on Athlon and 4570.. so far.. it has not caused any problem to me.. did no go down at all.. no problem during game.. and u dont even feel the heat..

Seems like Asus's after sales service dropping eh..

IIRC last year I had a G51VX with LCD problem. Took them 3 days only to change a new LCD for me.

K50AB just brings me memories. haha

This lappy is having a pretty old and outdated processor..

You should expect lag-ness while doing video editing or converting which involved CPU powers. This CPU cant really handle it.

you're looking at i7-2630QM on both laptop models? yes with that processor, its capable of handling movie editing as well.
