well bros, I just got myself an "Asus A42JC" and free upgraded RAM to 4GB. It costs me RM2599. Does it worth the price and any comment on the specs? Beginning hunt for Acer Timeline series but ended with this one as feel this brand is more reliable.

Appreciate your gurus input soon

Even if more than 3K, still no 13'' can win 3820TG's GPU

Pretty much that the only spec you can get if restricted to Asus brand within that budget..

From this forum it seems I can't find anyone talking about this model "A42JC". Is it rename as something else or not a popular model? But for me the specs looks fine to me.

after I bought Acer Happy Aspire One netbook, I seldom use A42JV....ffffffuuuuuuuuuu

Its not renamed...
It just that Acer TimelineX has more attractive specs...
The popular model used to be Asus A42Jv...

lol!

Because of the weight? or battery life? or ?

is that 3 hole in the front is speaker?

From the A42JC and Timeline series, the difference is only the GC where Timeline using ATI and 42JC is on Nvidia M310. Apart from that, the HDD for Timeline is slightly bigger (640GB vs 500GB). The rest looks the same to me so how do we conclude that Timeline series looks attractive compared to this one?

Hi all SIFUs,

I'm having problem formatting my Asus A42JC.
help needed here..
i formatted the laptop to Windows 7 32 bit and I KEEP the ASUS RECOVERY PARTITION.

Unfortunately, after installing Windows 7 files and setup.....it just couldn enter the windows and keep on booting to the windows setup screen..

I'm wondering if anyone of you face this problem before and can share some solution to me plssss.....

NOTE:
1. I have tried to format 3 times and the same problem occur (KEEP RESTARTING)
2. I end up trying to recover the Windows using ASUS DEFAULT RECOVERY and I CAN ABLE TO USE THE WINDOWS BUT I NEED A 32 BIT WINDOWS.

I think only the left and right is speaker, the center could just be hole for air to come in...

The ATi card is much more powerful than nVidia 310M (equivalent is HD5470) and the TimelineX is using HD5650..
and also TimelineX has switchable GPU and larger battery capacity as well, can reach 6 hours+ light usage battery life...

After you install Win 7 and it ask to restart, enter the BIOS, change the boot sequence to HDD at 1st instead of dvd drive...

HD5650 is at least 2 times better than GeForce 310M, thus a better option for gaming...

also TimelineX's selling pt is battery life... up to 8hrs of battery life is unrivaled at the same price... Asus' closest (in hardware and battery) is the yet-to-be-launched U41Jf, rm2999...

so overall, TimelineX is the winner...

Ok guys, I think I got what you mean. If that's the case then I still think my preference still the right one as I already got 2 bad experience owning Acer laptop (HDD issue, CD Rom dead, overheating).

I undertstand what you mean bro and sorry for the confusing.
I didnt press any key to boot into the CD.

I just let the computer to run, and it will reach the Windows wallpaper BUT with GRAY COLOURRR....NO ICONS...
THEN RESTART.

I tot it might be VGA program and i found that BIOS dun have the settings for using which VGA as primary VGA.
SIGHHH................

OR IS IT THE RECOVERY PARTITION EXISTS THAT MAKES THE PROBLEM OCCURS?

Do you mean after install the windows, then restart, can you do the registering username/pc name, etc until finish or is that the place when the restart occur ? or the restart occur after done everything and booting into the Windows for the first time ?

and is the windows disc install fine on other computer ?

you got both right.

and size too.

Now I bring it out everyday.

my a42jv is sleeping for more than a week without
power on

Added on November 29, 2010, 10:46 pmperformance is good. Start is fast. I think it start faster
than A42jv. Probably win starter is less loaded.

I think this Acer Aspire One Happy is better performance
due to dual core n550 + 2gb ram.

And I feel that 320gb hardisk is great for storing photo
if we go holiday.

The most important thing is I get to bring this out everyday
and I dun feel the weight....

Can online everywhere... i love it!!!
