He mean P4G - Power4Gear, an apps from Asus...
Usually activate using fn + space...

oh ~~ alright ~~ will try it tomorrow ~~ now on dekstop XD

sorry, wrong info, thanks lee for the correction ...

the interesting part abt A42Jv is that, there's no mention of Optimus in the official Asus web site...

nevertheless, with P4GH (Power4Gear Hybrid), u can still get some impressive battery life...

for eg my Asus N81Vp (C2D T9550 + HD4650), most review sites tested it to be slightly more than 2hrs, but making use of P4GH's Battery Saving mode, i can actually get another hour out with WiFi...

(The N82Jv is still priced at RM4999 in the latest May- July 2010 ASUS Product Guide book zzzz, in front page some more LOL, wonder when will they figure out the price is wrong)
Is it me or the ThinkPads are really really expensive

maybe the N82Jv they mention is i7-620M ~~ wakaka~~

ThinkPad is more into build quality...
Though in US, its darn cheap!

Ok i will consider that. TQ.

thanks PF T.J...will update the price

Yes, Thinkpad is expensive because of the built quality ..one of the best and their battery life is just

Its i5- 520 only T____T
Dunno how many people got cheated by the price neh

i think it's worth it...

those looking for a laptop for work will like this...

if GPU is HD5650 instead but around rm3k...

You're welcome bro
If only ThinkPads don't have the red touchy thingy on the keyboard (even though its one of the ThinkPad's main feature) and if only ThinkPads don't have the weird looking thingy above the touchpad.... Then I would go for them without any second thoughts at all (especially the Edge 13)

Yup, usually all those people in PC Fair got cheated with this insane price ...

Added on June 19, 2010, 1:30 pmhaha, i know what you mean...but those features are one of the special features of Thinkpads ...well, need to get something to differentiate from others ...but their battery life is just ...my boss Thinkpad T400 can last 8 hours with WiFi while listening to MP3s

very nice spec from asus with a good price!
Very attracted with this new model.

iirc even HP Compaq business laptop also got...

@astria
Well, some got while some don't...Dell Business line also got

Asus A42Jv, i5 450M + Nvidia GT335M@RM2999

damn spot on for my budget, definitely getting this woohoo.. if anyone hunting for it already, wouldnt hurt posting here the price that they pay for it.. thanks!

Well, just got the price for A42Jv yesterday, i guess for now people still in the reviewing part because its still new, but can use N82Jv as reference because its a stripped down N82Jv ...

I guess different store will give a little different in discount
