Asus A42Jv, i5 450M + Nvidia GT335M

n

Studio XPS 16
Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor P8700 (2.53GHz/ 1066 FSB/ 3MB Cache), Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium 64bit (English), 3GB RAM

both same price
urgent !
which one better ?

which want do you want 14 inches or i5.6 inches laptop..

asus a42jv is lighter than SXPS16..

performance of them is around the same.. although GT335 maybe slightly better and newer..

well.. SXPS 16 is Full HD [1080p] while Asus A42jv is just WXGA..

speaking about warranty.. asus a42jv is better in term of period.. but dell has better services..

GT 335M > HD4670

but SXPS16 has full HD monitor, great for movies...

basically gamer - A42Jv

a bit of everything - SXPS16

do i5 comparable to c2d ? i5 is better ? isnt?

comparing all the thing
which one will be better ??

i means some times to play hardcare game
and comparing the temp , performance

depend..

well.. P8700 has higher clock speed than i5 450M

but well.. i5 has HTT which is good in some application and software

it is not i5 is better than c2d.. its always depend

i5 have turbo boost to 2.93ghz iinm when the cpu is on load .

turbot boost = only 1 core getting boosted...

frankly, i seldom see Dynamic Acceleration (same thing as Turbo Boost, but much lower rate) working in Core 2... the only time i see it ruunning is during driver install...

if the P8700 can turbo boots ??

yes, it's called Intel Dynamic Acceleration (IDA) instead...

jumps to 2.66GHz...

it is actually depend on the application that you running..


such as if gaming.. not all games is compatible with HTT.. and yet.. HTT is a bit useless [in that game]

but if the software and application is compatible... then the turbo boost is good..

anyway, overall, i prefer A42Jv... from a gamer's pov...

agreed as we said..

A42jv and SXPS 16 are voted as laptop of the month..

i guess it the time to hunt for asus a42jv in lowyat then.

i am not using for design de
just sometimes play game

basically , i dun hope that the TEMP will too HEAT

well, Asus has always been good when comes to heat...

i am using Asus N81Vp... during gaming, even the temperature shoots to 90+C, i dun feel any heat coming from the keyboard at all...

but of course, this is a N series we are talking abt afterall... however, looking at it's track record, even the old K40Ab and K50Ab which runs on the notoriously hot old AMD CPU and still come with a dedicated GPU are still pretty cool to fiddle with...

go to C-ZOne or Cycom

basically i dun know about A42jv heat issues.. it is new.. no review yet..

but i believe.. A42jv is better than SXPS 16 in term of temperature

we are in the same boat..think of P8700, ati HD4670 vs Core i5,GT335M..

that y
i need to know
because my previous laptop is died because of the MOBO OVERHEATED

to be exact..
go for Asus A42jv if you are gamer..

but if you want Full HD [1080p ] , nicer screen , design --> Dell SXPS 16

basically i now not always go for gaming
cuz some times no time to play

some more i almost everyday also watching movie n turn laptop on 24 hour

so.. both also can.

A42Jv and SXPS 16 will done it.

but then... what movie you watching..

if full HD movie.. better watch at full HD resolution [SXPS 16]

but i still prefer A42jv though

hmmm
normal is rmvb files
because last time my laptop cant watch 1280 de movie
even 1024 also will lag

depend on the player, codec too...

but why you say it lag..

even.. in my T2450 + GMA 945 .. the full HD video run well

i duno also
i try to watch a FINAL FANTASY 7 ADVENT CHILDREN while the resolution should be 1280

then when i open , i see it lag by lag
which means it cant run the movie with smoothly

some times , i play country story a while
my temp reach 100++
then will hang my com until it cool down

Your old laptop is what model??

Well, even my old HP can play 1080p movies with just a little lag but still manageable ..try tweaking the codec that you use ..

I also prefer A42Jv over Dell SXPS16...anyway, i LOVE 14"

as I said codec and player also play the part..

maybe the video is so intensive .. [big size file]

Well, maybe he can use a bit more on CPU acceleration for much better video playback

my previous one is compaq V3821au
a heat generator monster

yeah maybe

lol.. scared with your pc LOLz


anyway.. just go for Asus A42jv

that y i duno why my laptop will be like this
even cant play CS
after 15 min , lag sia

frankly speaking, any laptop would heat up, that's the law of physics... it's juz a matter of how hot only...

V3000 has some design flaw which makes it cannot cool down effetively, coupled with NV chipset and old AMD CPU, that's a formula for disaster...

as i said, Asus has been good with their cooling even for their budget series... go ahead and get A42Jv, u won't be disappointed...

sure ???
i really dun hope that after i buy this laptop i will dissapointed on it

if you dont want to believe us.. test them first at the shop... before buy..

after satisfied.. then can buy

well, if u want me to say the truth, u never know how bad the cooling is for any laptop u see...

thing is, u can't open up and see how's the cooling built inside the laptop... even if u can, u also can't determine if it's effective or not...

so it's sort of like a gamble, especially with new models... since there's no reviews or user opinions to reference to...

all i can say is, overheat or not, it's 90% user management and 10% luck....

+1 for astria, after do search about laptop which involve couple of brand, i am agree is up to the user how they manage the heat problem..i like ur sentence, is it like gamble..ha3..

well, cuz it's first hand experience of me...

imported my laptop from the US... had no idea abt heat until the day it arrives...

Well, how you manage the laptop also one thing...as i can see for now, A42Jv seems to have a good cooling configuration ...

ok
but now lowyat plaze have this laptop ady ??

Yes, C-Zone at LYP

after u bought it..faster review and tell us..hu3..

got any free gift ?

I will join ur A42Jv team..hu3..

So already got 2 potential buyers...nice

lol
if possible , my fren also interest about it
cuz we are planning if wan to buy this then we will go LYP next friday with Fcuk90

if not , we will go for XPS16 before next thursday

beside , can anyone share how their take care about their lappy ??

onn, u fast fast decide la....


and BTW, in case of design and gaming function, and all sorts of things, like hardwares and stabilities, which laptop do u all suggest???

hope to get the main diff ASAP^^ thx in advance^^

budget???

stability wise, every laptop is the same, it boils down to whether the user keeps Windows free from rubbish only...

This post has been edited by astria: Jun 19 2010, 06:36 PM

those 2 laptops is at the price now. so now the fact is to determine which one is better for the use of gaming, watching video, sound, and all sorts of related entertainment soft/hardware. which one of these is the better choise?

as we all said, A42Jr gets our vote...

unless, Full HD monitor is a must for u...

is case of warranty and any damage services??
izit any diff between those 2?

and the conclusion is??

just bring the asus to any highpoint service center .

diff is there for sure , as you pay more $$$ if you want to go for dell . asus already have standard 2 year warranty.

go for asus .a42jv

This post has been edited by fcuk90: Jun 19 2010, 06:43 PM

Asus is standard 2yrs international warranty, while Dell is standard 1yr XPS Premier with 1yr Complete Cover...

if any thing happen, Asus is that u need to bring the laptop to the svc center (High Point iirc), while for Dell, u juz need to call them and they will dispatch a technician to ur place and fix it on the spot...

for Asus u can't extend the warranty, but for Dell, u can top up to longer (up to 3yrs) or more complete service (24x7 support)...

Well, if a FullHD screen is a must then Dell SXPS16 is the one, rather for a more overall performance wise, A42Jv got all except for the FullHD

the last thing i need to decide is tat, except of the screen resolution is weaker than dell xps16, overall asus win?


a million thx in advance for ur sincere suggestion^^

my cooling a bit slow jor
may be too many dust

I would rather go for Asus A42Jv than Asus A42Jr[it is unavailable now]


but well.. as many of us said.. A42Jv is the laptop of the month...

actually at first I thought this lappy are come with GT 325... but suddenly shocked when C-Zone stated.. it come with GT 335.. which is far better than GT325..

that is good..

go for Asus A42Jv...

want to start a thread..?

i guess no need.. just ask TS of Asus A42/A52 JR/JK >>> http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1409216

to add A42/A52 JV ... well it also J series though..

oops... my bad...

too many A42J from Asus lately...

but when i check their 3d performance , dell xps win this laptop

GT 335M vs HD5650, both are comparable and also which we know HD5650 > HD4670...

Stress test CPU for 30mins and averaging 74C, seems quite good ...

Added on June 20, 2010, 11:49 pmHow about the GC??...Try download FurMark and run it for 30mins, see how high the temp can go ...use HWMonitor to check both temp for CPU/GPU at the same time
