QUOTE(ThisIsBoletaria @ May 27 2010, 12:49 PM) Ya, I see already, but I want to know how well it handles heat when in use. I don't want to buy and then when I leave it on 24/7 with ceiling fan off the dvd burner mati and cannot burn anymore like with my U80V owh, with load... when i gaming, temperature max has been note is 50C for CPU and 70C for GPU.. How's that?I leave my a52jr 24/7 torrent and seeding with ceiling fan and made in china notebook fan.. still in good shape.. thanks god!

QUOTE(AlexLai @ May 28 2010, 11:00 AM) They say CCC 10.5 had no improvement whatsoever from the previous drivers over in the ATI discussion thread. i update my driver because release note said it have switchable graphic option.. after install it,nothing option appear for switchable graphic..  |

QUOTE(terryisdafox @ May 28 2010, 01:59 PM) Hi, im a freelance 3d animator and this is my first time purchasing a laptop and am looking for a laptop for 3d animation usage. now, only a42jk available in the market cause of end of lifetime for Jr series.. 1) Will the A42JK or A42JR be good enough for it? 2) Is there any other laptop around the same budget as this model worth buying for animation? budget size (3000-4000) 3) Regarding the graphic card, does this still come with ATI HD 5470 or better? 4) How accurate is the colors on the monitor? 4) The 15 inch model still available? Am a noob when it comes to laptops, appreciate all your feedbacks  so, that's means that the hd5470 now not in the a42jk that have been replaced with hd5145 that is equal performance with hd5470 without Directx 11 capability..  the monitor display is HD/LED backlight screen.. so you know the performance of HD screen.. yes, there is 15" screen for this model a52jk.. same machine.. but you have other option than Asus brand.. maybe this link can help you choose your new notebook according to your budget: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1422707 |

QUOTE(terryisdafox @ May 28 2010, 04:28 PM) ur very lucky to own the jr series then..i liked the gpu on it rather than the 5145.. Nah,it spontaneous i buy this laptop.. i get it at PC-Zone lowyat. Order mine for 2 weeks.but i get it 2 months ago. another thing, even if i manage to find a jr series in lowyatt, should i go for it? jk seem like a downgrade for me at the moment, or maybe im wrong.. Last week, C-Zone announce in facebook that they have little stock for Jr.. maybe u should try your luck at c-zone |

QUOTE(pizzaboyj @ May 29 2010, 03:27 PM) 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? |

QUOTE(phantomkid @ May 29 2010, 06:36 PM) 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 Mac OSx required intel based system to operate.. i think there is no problem to install Mac os in this notebook.. If only an Apple technician can let us know >.>Added on May 29, 2010, 8:36 pm QUOTE(NaGeNaZ @ May 29 2010, 08:03 PM) What's the battery life under normal use for 14" & 15" models? Battery Life for this notebook with Power4Gear Hybrid set at Battery saving can last long for 3hours. Wifi on. Lets say watching movie & wifi switched on.
