well, but it's not as big a killer as it's predecessors though...

N80V - T9400 + 9650M GT
N81V - T9600+ HD4650/HD4670

both using the same GPU as the 15" in the market at their time... + the using top of the line CPU as well...

i was expecting i7 620M + HD5730 for N82Jv...

y not a Asus N series thread instead??? they have always been good performance laptops...

Added on April 28, 2010, 8:59 amoh, and 1 more thing, in Asus website, N82 is classified under "Multimedia Entertainment" instead of "Versatile Performance"...

yup... interested to see load temp, and how it stacks against my N81Vp...

most, if not all, of the sellers in garage sales are selling at rm3999 or even less...

wondering... should i do a small N81Vp vs N82jv comparison here???

nah... N81Vp is the predecessor of N82Jv...

juz want to create some fun here...

probably not benchmarks, since it's obvious that N82Jv has better hardware than N81Vp...

i was thinking perhaps a comparison on temperature, both idle and full load...

depends on how u see, from the POV of a N81Vp owner, N82Jv is good, but some of the small small things that may prove irritating...

1) mainstream CPU, N81Vp has the top of the line dual core CPU of the time (namely Core 2 Duo T9550/T9600, equivalent to Core i7 620M now bas on class)
2) only 3 USB ports, while N81 and N80 have 5
3) no fingerprint scanners (subjective, but it's fun to ve one )
4) choice of GPU (expecting HD5650 since it has DX11, but not GT 335M)

take a screenshot when idle, CPU full load, and GPU full load...

at any time needs CPU-Z, GPU-Z and Hwmonitor shown...

for stressing apps, u can try StressCPU 2.0 or Orthos for CPU, and FurMark for GPU... these are the known most stressful tests on hardware...

i'll upload some pics soon...

now waiting for my laptop to cool down after some folding...

Here we go, PK of Asus 14" N series...

Asus N81Vp - Intel Core 2 Duo T9550, ATi Mobility Radeon HD4650

Idle:


CPU full load (Orthos 10mins):


GPU full load (Furmark 10 mins):


granted, temperature in Australia over here is significantly lower than Malaysia, however the ambient environment of my test is my room, doors and windows closed, so it's still not that cold... u can simulate the environment easily with air con...

juz edit, replace the words with "deleted" will do...

there's no delete function...

Asus standard is (cheap and small) wired mouse...

well, if u ask me (i own N81Vp), N82Jv seems to be lacking in some of the small detail...

wat would u think if i tell u that N81 and N80 series ve a total of 5 USB ports??? and that these 2 series use C2D T9000 series, which are top of the line dual core of their time...

we dun ve Optimus, but with Asus P4GH, we can still squeeze out more than 3hrs of battery life with WiFi...

adjust sensitivity in game?

nah... it's still DX10.1, it's hardware limitation...

showing DX11 merely means u ve the DX files installed and Windows can make use of that if ur GPU supports that as well...

my Win7 has been showing DX11 since the days of beta, and i am using a HD4650...

they ve to separate the the 2 laptops from each other...

iirc, N82Jv has better webcam (2MP vs VGA), more software included, etc...

but still, the lack of USB ports is a real turn off for me...

well, wat if i tell u the predecessors (N81V and N80V) have 5 USB ports???
