Guys, want to ask which one is better for long term use.
Use mainly for surfing net, uni usage(probably mathlab), gaming(light gaming only)

Asus X42JR-VX141V or Asus U41JF-WO134V

Or is there any other brand that you guys can recommend.

Budget Rm2.5k to 2.8

Thanks. smile.gif

If u require long battery life, then go for u41jf.. If not can consider n43jf same specs as u41jf but got usb3.0 and its a n series, somemore cheaper than u41jf
*
how much is u43jf ? the question is u43jf has a NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 425M with 1GB DDR3 VRAM but the u41jf has a NVIDIA® GeForce® 425M+ Optimus, with 1GB DDR3 VRAM. Does the optimus makes alot of difference ?
Thanks smile.gif

Its still depends on the manufacturer whether they want to implement it or not,
the hardware is there but the decision on theirs...
*
so n43jf doesn't have optimus tech it seems ?
if so is there any alternative ?
or is optimus tech really makes alot of difference ?

nVidia GT 425M 1024MB PCI-Express GDDR3 DX11 with Optimus™ Technology

http://translate.google.com/translate?u=ht...en&hl=&ie=UTF-8

Based on the 3dmark06 which stating Intel HD but having the score 7K, its Optimus...

oh wow thanks. so it means that it does come with optimus.
but actually im currently using a 15.4" laptop, was actually looking for something around 15" as well.
A52JV.
scared 14" will be too small for me.

Then can only keep waiting for the new model..

I'll wait until the end of CNY and see if A52JV is coming out or not.
If not I'll opt for N43JF.
Thanks. smile.gif

A42JP better for gaming but lost in sound quality, build quality, only got 1 headphone/mic jack..

Anyways, N43Jf EOL already now... now is A52Jv...

between A52Jv n A42Jp, A52Jv slightly better for gaming..
*
how much is A52JV ? is it out already ?
