QUOTE(lee_what2004 @ Oct 20 2009, 08:09 PM) in terms of performance, benq s42is the best for the given price. asus u80v wins with its 2 year international warranty and slightly lighter weight. ouch...hard for me to decide... i travel a lot n i'm not good with laptop stuff... thats y i prefer those with international n longer wrty... anything i can just bring it down to them... i dont mind paying them a visit often coz i no edison chen... the price differ also around rm300 rite? haih...headache liao... end of the year only will make my decision...meanwhile will keep track on this 2 lappie |

QUOTE(-kytz- @ Oct 28 2009, 10:25 PM) Yes the S57 is sure tempting for its BD drive.However how many of us buy original BDs?And S57's native reso is an inferior 720p,so its like a little wasted here....unless u plan to hook it up to your FHD tv  But for a 4k range, u have pretty much other choices worth considering namely Dell SXPS 16 at 4.2k,Asus N51vn at 4.4k,Acer 5935. wow...thx for ur quick reply... y didnt i think of that...i wont be spending days dloading bluray movie neither ==' seems like still left with 2 choice for my budget BenQ S42 Vs. Asus U80V (better spec) Vs.(better wrty) |

May I know what's the different between U series and F series?
I've tried comparing U80 and F81 seems similar to me.
