it is very smooth, i dunno what material it is but i guess its the same as the palm rest which is aluminum, cold and very smooth infact i have to use my finger abit harder because too smooth lol..

n53sv is worth for its price for the better look and design, expensive feeling aluminum (its cooling when in aircon room and not gaming heavily at the palm rest)
or you could go for a52ja for cheaper but less attractive and features

worried of? all using same lappy or they had bad experience? how urgent u nid your new laptop? the longer u wait, the better it is for more choices and maybe cheaper price. i bought my asus n53sn rrp at rm3499 (i bought mine at rm3330 without freebies from hikari) now i heard only 3299 or 3399 forgot(if without freebies maybe around 31XX or 32XX ), few weeks only...

if like that go buy carbon skin protector if u really decided go for n53sv, than yours will look the best among your friends XD

here http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=718364&hl=

the difference between carbon and pro is only the front lid cover either higher protection with pro or unique look with carbon. the wrist area is the same between pro and carbon meaning even if you take carbon package, wrist area is pro not carbon.

since 2 of your friend already got the same notebook, for me personally i would go for carbon. i got bored of the grey cover already~

yeah triple confirm that blue is intel for power saving and white is using nvidia for maximum performance~

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

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~
