ermmm... how do we turn on the backlit keyboard? eeks pretty bad at these things

Truth is, there isn't a backlit keyboard.

the new i5 480 is not a quad core proc?is there any i5 brand new laptop using i5 quad core?

i5 is a dual core...

it appears to ve a quad core in Windows due to Hyper Threading... Windows "assume" there's an extra core that can be utlized... but the truth is, it's juz extra CPU resources that it can use...

it has turbo boost function rite?does i3 oso hv this function?

Intel Core i5-480M come with Intel Turbo Boost Technology but not for Intel Core i3

i3 dun ve...

and get this straight too, Turbo Boost only boost the speed of 1 core while the other is in sleep mode...

Errr guys, i have a problem reading my memory card. Everytime i plug in my card reader to read the card, it opens to autoplay. So i select my file and choose to open a photo. After opening one photo, the error pops out saying windows cant open this picture because either the picture is deleted or its in a location that isn't available.

I plug out and plug in again and select that photo and it works. then try the next one this error come out again. How do i fix this? I vaccine my memory card with panda vaccine and avira detects it as virus. I disabled the guard but still same thing happen.

Depends on the series. i5-400M series boosts both cores to the max speed. i5-500M series only does it for one, if both cores are boosted, the they won't reach the maximum stated TB speed.

anyone tried the Asus N series with B&O Icepower audio system d? The speaker good enough? How does it comparable with HP Envy series with Beats audio?

and 1 more thing..i jus bought a42jy (i5-480+ati 6470M 1g)..yesterday...
i want to noe how long does dis battery last?
it is bcoz i feel it only last 2hour + + (not idle condition) like surfing.

hi,

since i m in Indonesia now, planning to get N43SL-VX025V, called the Asus guys and it will be out next Tuesday.

Intel® Core™ i7-2630QM
(2GHz up to 2.9GHz with Turbo Boost, 6MB Cache)
Windows® 7 Home Premium Asli
Mobile Intel® HM65 Express Chipset
NVIDIA® GeForce® GT540M with 2GB DDR3 VRAM
14" HD (1366x768) LED-Backlight Display
4GB DDR3 1333 Mhz
640 GB HDD SATA
DVD Writer Super Multi Dual Layer
Bluetooth / LAN / WLAN 802.11 b/g/n
2.0 MP
6 cells battery 4400 mAh
2.3 kg
Aluminium cover
2 Years Global Waranty

is this comparable to ASUS N53SN??
since i won't be back in KL anytime soon, was considering to get it over here in Jakarta. Thoughts .. anyone?

How much is it?
Yea except GPU slightly weaker than N53SN and screen size smaller.. Malaysia's one only coming out in March, probably have this model by then also..

USD 1309 .. YEAP !! computers are much more expensive in Indonesia.
Screen smaller size nvm. becoz i am looking for mobility and lighter laptop.

erm... N series is not light, especially when u ve a 45W CPU in it...

my N81Vp weights 2.5kg with battery, that's heavy for a 14"...

I am predicting Malaysia's one selling around RM3.5k-3.7k... Well RM500 to get the laptop 1-2months earlier... Ur call

that 200-300g makes quite a lot of difference, seriously speaking...

my old BenQ S41 is 2.2kg with battery, that's light enuf to carry everyday... now with the N81Vp, even with laptop backpack i also find it too much...

that's y i got a netbook so that i can bring to lectures everyday...
