Soon to be a proud owner of A42JK. It'll be my first laptop as I always use desktop and upgrade it only >.> But now I can't already. College life

Okay. Now, anyone would enlighten me if this A42JK can have a retail Mac installed on it? Hmmms...

Vmplayer i think.. this software can allow user to install different OS in one systemm

afaik. to get mac os x running you would need to have the proper drivers and everything ready. and i dont think you can VM it. always best as a standalone. maybe you can look at the guides and try to get it to dual boot. but iirc you'd need a clean hdd to install it.

need partition alone for Mac? how about ubuntu?

I just wanna know if an A42JK can have a Mac installed on it. As in, without any conflicts. Cuz I can get a retail one from you-know-where If only an Apple technician can let us know >.>

What's the battery life under normal use for 14" & 15" models?

Lets say watching movie & wifi switched on.

Mac OSx required intel based system to operate.. i think there is no problem to install Mac os in this notebook..

compare toshiba qosmio f60 (i3,15.6"nvidia geforce gt330m 1gb) with asus A52jk, which is better for graphic designers. (for 3d animators)?

go for NG GT330.. The Cuda help a lot on graphic design..

hey guys.. i just bought this model(a42j i3) today..i think the speed is a little bit slow(maybe bcause of the proser/ram..not sure enough wat happen to my laptop..lol)..n also its wifi speed is slower than my brother laptop(dell)..i really dont know wats going on wif my laptop..maybe i need to format and replace it current os (w7 home premium) with 7 ultimate..

nope, i3 is slower than c2d..that's the seller told me..coz they already compare it..u can also check it here..cpubenchmark

Probably. I'll try it later >.>

You may try adding another 2Gb of RAM to 4Gb and see if there's any changes as this is a 64-bit OS. I'm using 2Gb only and it's running pretty okay and of course, I optimized it. Removed several pre-installed 'games' (i don't know what are they so i just removed) and disabled some things on startup using CCleaner (freeware, go Google it); disabled Windows Defender. Disabled UAC. I think that's all I did.

Edit - Been playing MW2 MP pretty much after I bought it yesterday evening - no issues. Smooth after I decreased some settings. Even with maximum settings, it's all good except minimum lags.

ohhh ok.. =x

wats the processor? if its i5-520m then cheap.. if is i5-430m then abit expensive.. but i hope to get the ati 5470 as well.. D:
whr did u get it??

that's the resonable price for a42Jr.. because it's limited edition now and of course it's i5-430m with hd5470 ati radeon.. other shop sell it reach rm3200..

i rather pay a bit for a42jr D:
