good

So it seems like switchable graphics is not such a brilliant idea.

Would you guys recommend this laptop, or its brother the A42?

For me it's between this and Dell XPS.

Nice to see that most people say it keeps cool.

Any other complaints?

if u have money constraint, go for Asus A42Jv lo ~~

Dell XPS eventhough is 15' , but heat management still lose to asus 14' laptop ~~

so far , not many problem using Asus N82Jv except some complaint about the optimus things ^^

Anyway nvidia thingy is a failure , the reason why some issues occurs is that the switchable graphics still writes to the internal GPU framebuffer which is stored in RAM. Basically both the graphics card are working when nvidia turned on. It does not switch like AMDs one or how apple does it

AMDs - is between on the go or power. Basically when you're on battery , you're forced to use onboard GPU. on AC , you get the faster graphics processor
Nvidia - Basically best in both worlds. It loads on demand when it sees you're using demanding application it switches on the dedicated GPU. But there is disadvantage , the onboard GPU is kept running when dedicated GPU is turned on. While on battery , it can consume even more power , and when you switch it has to remove framebuffer from nvidia card and back to intel. Basically when you switch , nvidia uses intel's "memory" instead. Basically it would be like having 2 RAMs (1GB for nvidia , 288MB or whatever Intel gives to their video card. So when you load games , the processing is done in "nvidia card" and its transferred to Intels onboard GPU memory and Intel feeds this information to the display. Basically intel card as acts a middle man
Apples Solution - similar to Nvidias except that OS handles (notice , apples solution does not work on windows) the whole thing. when onboard GPU is activated , the dedicated is shut off. when a user runs demanding application , contents of the framebuffer is transfered to the dedicatd memory and nvidia has full control , intel gpu is shut off.


This gives you the answer why it flickers for nvidia optimus user. Bear in mind if you activate nvidia gpu on battery , its going to suck even more battery life as both intel and nvidia cards are turned on

Thanks prasys that was useful info on the Optimus and switchable graphics thingies.

yo guys, am planning to get this model so i can fully enjoy my starcraft2 is its full glory. i believe, n82 can pull this off easily right?

my only wish is the screen would be 15 instead of 14! wondering if GT335m can display good resolution on a 32inch TV? anyone tried this?

hmm~~ i think this series didint come out liao lo ~~~ Can go for A42Jv and upgrade to 4GB ram ~~ the only thing different will be processor which slow a bit , no usb 3.0 and 140GB less than Asus N82Jv ~~

Asus N82Jv sure can play Starcraft 2 la ~~ can put high setting also no problem

U can always plug into TV using HDMI port lo~~ i always do that in watching movie and some gaming(connect to my panny 42inch TV) ~~~ so nice ~~~

n82 has been phased out? seriously?

A42jv with 4gb, how much difference between i5 and i7??

and i think i7 can last longer than i5? futureproofing.

he means N82Jv phase out, replaced by N82Jq...

difference? double perhaps since it has two more physical cores...
even if you have i7 which should last longer than i5 but still the GT335M would get outdated pretty soon, which usually bottleneck the games performances.....

hmm~~ if u are go into gaming , i5 is better than i7 ~~ higher clock speed ~~ If autocad or 3d rendering , go for i7 better ~~

laptop rarely futureproof de la ~~ if u have low budget ~~~ will outdate in 3 year ~~ lol~~

gotten my n82jq!


got together with coolermaster cooler for rm40.

congrats ~~~

why my laptop recently after on like 10 min will hang ~~ freeze screen ~~ cant move at all ~~ any idea??

more pics







thanks banana. gotta restart and test sc2 soon

yoyo ~~ so eager to see your ur test result ~~ haha ~~

played around with SC2. runs ultra fine but not 100% so i settled down with High.

just wanna share some pics from N82, g335m. im satisfied with this class 2 gpu.









and on my 32tv!
