Is there a reasonably big difference between gt540m and 550m? i know it seems like so on notebookcheck, but not much info there about 550m in terms of fps. Would the difference be worth an additional RM200?

If your monitor has FullHd resolution of 1920x1080 then YES..

Framerate would stay the same if your game is set at the same resolution... Connecting to fullHD monitor doesn't mean that ur game must be played on FUllHD.. If you say 720P doesn't look nice on 1080P monitor, this really depends how big is ur monitor then.. I have a 21.5 inch fullHd monitor but I can't tell the differences between HD and FullHd for my games most of the time.. (unless I lean my head near to the screen to see the pixels lol)

Not much difference but N series has much better multimedia functions.. BnO speakers, better microphone, some say better build quality.. A series sound is very soft and only got 1 headphone/microphone jack..

not very big dif, it might be something like overclocked gt540m im just guessing~ cannot know till full benchmark test out. if u dont mind the extra weight and kind of on budget, wait for N53SV will save few hundred. i dont like A series because dont have usb 3.0 and the design is some what plain just my opinion =D

haha indeed its plain, especially compared to the sleek look of the N series. But i guess i can do without usb 3.0, can't really utilize it anyway...and i have external speakers too. what's important to me is, is N series build quality really better than A series? It being the premium model and all.

This is a bit subjective, go and try out the real thing yourself..

Eh i just found out that A43SV is 2630M, not 2630QM like N53SN. Meaning not sandy bridge? Or perhaps typo?

Yea typo error.. It's sandy bridge.. The Q means 'quad' core but it's left out in mentioning sometimes.. Sandy bridge dual core doesn't come out until march and the model numbers are different also..

The build quality and craftsmanship is a whole lot better than the A series
Apart from the keyboard, I've never seen such a solid laptop before~
Still, if you are really good at taking care of your laptop, build quality won't matter much

is the n series laptop cover made from aluminium or plastic? i read on notebookcheck that the bezel around the screen and palm rest is aluminium but no mention of the front cover :/

Yeah, felt like so high class atm.
LOL!!

Meaning like after I press "a", it won't come out.
Then I type the next word "b", it will show ab.
Gonna take to the shop tomorrow, or I mean later.

Brand u won't know. model is just the name of it,type(ips) okay this is important since the viewing angle is sometimes essential when many are watching movies but however u won't know what the lcd of the laptop is since it never wrote out, brightness not important since normal people put at normal average,glossy or not didnt wrote also,resolution same for both the laptops referred,black(contrast) also never write out,refresh rate i guess this is Hz which comes at a price and dun think laptop LCD comes with high end ones like 100Hz and lots more does make lots different(viewing angle which is mentioned already(type,ips), brightness(mentioned already also),black level(contrast level that u said),outdoor visibility(sunlight reflection and so on...) which is mentioned by u also the glossy screen.
Yeah it all made difference but the part that eyes can see is mostly the resolution, colours and viewing angle only. Others are really hard to see with our naked eyes such as refresh rates(if not big difference)

I am falling in love with the Asus N53SN....for me, no match for the Acer 5750g......badly hoping it'll be on sale by the 28th of this month, or is it already out?

As I mentioned to you in another thread, probably next week according to some retailers..

Whom to call and check whether this notebook already available?

Yeah, there are websites to help us. But don't think it's really helpful only if u are very fussy about the screen if u're doing stuffs like editing video/photo etc.
Refresh rates normally refer to GPU if not mistaken.

Ive found the pricing on the Asus in Australia.

https://www.mln.com.au/product/?itemID=1083

Thats a slightly more updated version (8gb ram, bluray) than the model rumored to be released in MY soon. At over RM5000 though....too expensive, with that kinda money, I'd get an XPS!

I am absolutely gutted....this laptop would have been an obvious purchase for me....pissed off right now...

Is it still possible that some retailers will start selling it next week like they said?

Also looking to get this laptop when I'm back in Malaysia from 29th Jan to 10th Feb.

PS I think its already up on some garage sale thread? Just a few hours ago.
