Laptop sudah BMW for up to 2 weeks due to hdd failure. Fantastic. Thank you Seagate for ruining my week.

Actually my temperature also a bit high when playing games... It's 80+ , u may say it's normal when gaming but my environment is fully air conditioned and I have a Notepal X-lite underneath...

80 degree C still fine. NVidia card can support up to 100+ degree C.

Notebook X-Lite if turn to High mode can spin the fan around 2000 rpm.
Apparently, it should drop the temperature +/- 17 degree C.

Just monitor that.

Hmm did u get the impression of another cooler?? It's the rm45-50 cooler master notepal x-lite I am talking about.. It only has 1 big fan in the middle and 1 fan speed... No, it doesn't really help much for my A42Jv ><... Maybe due to the size of laptop barely fitting the small cooler.. Mine cools around 4-5 degrees only

And yes, 80+ is fine but that should be temperature WITHOUT a cooler wor... Mine was with a cooler and air conditioned room

i am researching to buy a laptop for my sister use.  She will mainly use it for lecturing, doing some light animation works, and some CAD/CAM stuff.  Her budget is below RM3,000.

Is the Asus A42 series with i3-370M and Nvidia Geforce 310M good enough?  Is the A-Series Asus laptop generally good build quality?

I have a general perception that Asus laptops have good build quality but dun know which series is better than another.  Noob in Asus laptop.

Thanks.  smile.gif

check new thread

Asus A42Jv FTW

A42JV [SRP-RM2, 599] offer: RM2470
I5-450M 2.4GHz, 14”, 2GB DDR3, 500GB HDD, Win 7HP, nVidia GT 335M 1GB GDDR3

Get 2gb ram upgrade as well so would be around rm2.6k...

Best choice u could get for that budget..

Else there is a new Acer 4820TG coming up during mid-end september which has similar specs except the GPU is HD5650 and RRP is rm2699, that one has better battery life...
