im still considering whether to choose xps 14 or n43jq?

any suggestion? =D

Is n43jq is Asus?

For me,

Dell is famous for their on site warranty services.

Asus is famous for their hardware quality.

Asus laptops huh... It's branded like Acer and Dell I suppose? Whats wrong with their drivers and utilities? How long has yours lasted?
But can Acer laptops last long? I'm not really in a hurry, I want to spend my time to make sure I buy the right model.

Indeed. I am talking about brand right now. Which models you are going to buy, please do more homework on the model suggestion.

Asus, i am not sure what happen to their drivers since i am only a computing guy rather than a programming guy.

1st incident with Asus driver is when i recommending my friend buying Asus, their webcam display is 180 degrees upside down. Later, the techies in the shop said it is due to the outdated driver.

2nd This time it is my sister desktop. The desktop is powered by Asus motherboard. So, i went and test the software that could be used to benchmark the processor temperature. Guess what? The software suddenly show my processor temperature is 255 degrees in 1 second and their alarm is very noisy. I immediately shut down and disassembled the processor part, which is cooler than my hand. doh.gif

3. I finally able to get my hands on Asus product last month. A 2nd hand Asus T91MT convertible netbook. When COD, everything is fine especially with the hardware. After 2 days of using, the touchscreen suddenly "malfunctioned" despite several time of restarting the netbook. After that, I do recovery to the netbook and everything becomes normal back. After 2 weeks of using it, this time there is a wireless driver problem or bug. unsure.gif It cannot be turned off immediately. The turning off can only take effect upon restarting. Fortunately, it can be on if it is switched off when booting up.

Acer laptop, I am not very sure about their quality for the new series. But i prefer not to choose Asus over Acer. I am using an Acer laptop as well. I guess I am lucky to have it be able to stay with me without major defect after 4 years.

Hi guys, need your recommendation here,
I just started my degree and need to buy a laptop asap but i dont know which is good for me.

I'm gonna use it for internet browsing, design software; photoshop, illustrator, indesign, pdf, office and downloading movies and simple games(sims and such).

not too keen on dell and acer though as my brother and a friend had problems with their acers(screen probs) after a while. heard that asus is good. hope you guys can help me decide which to buy..

my budget is around rm2.5k and below.

thanks in advance!

The Acer 5750G is written as i7-630Qm not i7-2630Qm.
Don't know if it is typo or what.
