I wanna buy Asus A42JK. May I know what is current price for both spec?
A42JK-VX050B-W7HP---i5-430 (2.26 GHz (Turbo up to 2.53GHz)/L2: 3M) new platform|DDR3 2GB (2Gx1)|500GB|ATI Mobility Radeon HD5145 1G GDDR3 VRAM|8xSuper Multi-Dual|ASUS 802.11b/g/n|Win 7 Home Premium(64bit)|0.3M|6 Cell 4400mAH
A42JK-VX059V-W7HP---i5-520M (2.40 GHz (Turbo up to 2.93GHz)/L2: 3M) new platform|DDR3 4GB (2Gx2)|500GB|ATI Mobility Radeon HD5170 1G GDDR3 VRAM|8xSuper Multi-Dual|ASUS 802.11b/g/n|Win 7 Home Premium(64bit)|0.3M|6 Cell 4400mAH
Should I go for i5 520M or save money with i5 430M and add another 2GB ram?
What is the speed for the HDD? Is it 7200 or 5400?

So if I found A42JR better grab rather than wait for A42JK? A42JR superior than A42JK? Then why on earth ASUS phase out JR and replace it with downgraded version?? Now I really can't make decision on which model I should go for. HELP~~  |

QUOTE(Howitzer155 @ May 16 2010, 07:20 PM) i think i just saw a a42jr today at lowyat plaza  ........ din buy it cause my bro ask to save money to build a rig of my own......  ....hope that a42jr will have a good owner....  yesterday i went to lowyat plaza. Got 1 seller selling a42jr i5-430M 2gb ram at rm3099 which is ridicilous. Just because of the graphic card. No seller selling a42jk i5-520M yet. But seller above me got sell that model. Hehe.. The drawback is you're based in penang. But, still thinking to get from u bro. Your price boleh tahan. |
