Hi Guys,

Some review on my new lappy (A43SV)



Spec:

i5 2410M (2.3GHz)
NVidia GT 540M (2GB)
4 GB 1333MHz DDR3
640 GB 5400R SATA
8x DVD
3 USB port (2 at right hand side and 1 at left)
1 HDMI port
1 VGA port
1 LAN port
Window 7 Home Premium (c/w Microsoft office stater pack)
2 years warranty



If that was A43SV specs, what we can expect from N43SL ?

i7 + GT550 2GB ?

I thought above spec reserve for N43...

found out lots of junks(maybe) in my new pc.. n53sv.. check it out and pls tell me what they are..



those programs with para conexion watevr they are

and



those progs with chinese words and arabic words

Just contacted ASUS helpline, stated that U41SV will be available end of this month, April, but not available in PC fair

im not sure what is that also but i uninstall all of it and it does not affect my lappy

what about N43 with i7?

They can have same specs cause N series and A series are 2 different lines... N series have better build, speakers etc...

[/quote]

Not available in Malaysia.. N43SL is would be an i5

I want to upgrade my ram... from 2gb to 4gb.
My question is, does my laptop supported dual channel ram? What is the best performance wise? Put another 2gb of any brand, or buy 2 pieces of identical ram?
Can someone recommend me brand that is stable for my laptop?
I can see... five main brands. Corsair,OCZ, MUSHKIN, TEAM ELITE and Kingston.
Any forumer/asus gurus please help me?

My laptop spec:

A42JY-VX244

i3-370M-2.40GHz
14" HD Color Shine(LED)
2GB DDR3
320GB-5400rpm
AMD HD 6470 1GB DDR3

Thank you...

i am thinking of upgrading my 4gb to 6gb too. worth it? thanks

Any brand would do fine.. Just make sure it's the same ram type as ur lappie.. as in DDR3 1006/1333

upgrade to 4gb is quite worth it for some say win7 eat quite alot of memory. doesnt matter whether same or identical brand, i would recommend u get kingston budget ram would do~
just make sure the speed mhz is the same

Added on April 11, 2011, 8:24 pmu gotta test hands on the speakers cause mostly is marketing strategy, my bro a52j altec is not that impressive imo, my n53s b&o is decent but not excellent too~

Exactly! I'm not surprised it's that high heat that leads to some of the hard drive problems some owners of the series are having. I wonder how much your HD temp will be if you used an SSD though.

The U45 is an older series, less powerful than the U41 and at a higher price as well. Altec Lansing with SRS sound is merely a gimmick. Mine has it too but they are soft and the sound quality is downright unimpressive.

Great to hear! It's a good model. SB proc with an Nvidia GT540M makes a powerful combination.

how confident are you with your statement ?

i think it's absurd if asus don't sell an i7 based n43sl in malaysia.. given that they already have sold a43sv and n53sn with i7... furthermore what's the point of sticking only i5 in n43sl..? because 2nd gen i7 cpus are already everywhere here... to sell an i7 n43sl would only involve putting in the cpu into the laptop body

Thanks for the answers guys...
Anyway... i've checked my memory using cpuz program...
It shows...

DRAM FREQ : 532 MHZ
fsb:dram : 4:16
7-7-7-20-1t

but the max bandwidth is pc3-10700 (667 mhz)
manufactured by hynix...
it is ddr3-1066 or ddr3-1333?
confusing....


By the way....i've checked my i3-370m at intel website, and it can support up to 8gb of ram....
but asus said...just 2+2=4gb MAX...

Which is this true? Has anyone tried to put above recommended ram capacity? (Even though the proc can 'see' it?)

sorry for so many questions....newbie here.

Well first off, your RAM frequency is showing 532MHz in CPU-Z but your real speed is actually double that so it's actually running around 1066MHz. I'm pretty sure your RAM is a stick of DDR3-1333 but then, since you're using an i3-370M, it limits it to 1066 only.

On paper it can support 8GB. Whether or not Asus decides to let you use all 8GB is a different matter.

Let me guess...? Bios/Mobo locked?

Something like that.

hmm.. u41sv caught my attention.. my concern is will the build quality be the same as u41jf? if yes, then I'll give it a pass.. if not, i'll have some headache choosing n43sl or u41sv...

another thing is why don't asus put in more powerful proc in u41 series? it seems they always put in a "2nd most powerful proc available"... why not just put the "1st" aka i7?

Which is why I'm going to try before I buy the U41SV when it's out.

I'm pretty much guessing that the i7 guzzles up too much power for it to be entirely battery efficient. Besides, an i5 is pretty much good enough for most things a normal user can throw at it.

oh my, my a42jv charger suddenly gone pooFF!!!

is the charger cover under warranty? or will I have to fork some money myself to buy a new one?

and if its under warranty will it be swap, or they will need to take it in and inspect/evaluate first?

thanks

It's for Asus Malaysia to decide.. And in a newspaper advertisement 1-2weeks ago already shown the specs for N53SL as i5 dual core..
And i7 in 14inch would be more expensive also and over rm3k.. We already have a A43Sv with i7 and 540M @rm2899
