Added on January 16, 2011, 2:32 amdifference between LED and HD? which 1 is more tiring to eyes? hate those ultra sharp bright screen which hurts my eyes and gives me headache after looking at it for hours....

Acer is using LCD while the Asus is using LED.
Both are HD screens(1366X768 pixels)
LED will be more bright compare to LCD.

http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/the-differenc...cd-and-led-tvs/

ahh....thx for the info bro =D

Both is using LCD with LED Backlight,
HD is resolution...

Oh really, so my laptop also comes with LED, thx for the info.
TS, now that u know both are using the same screen and resolution, time to make your choice.
(poison poison~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~)

Screen quality can be different though....

About the screen, forgotten that I wrote the specs myself.
LOL, screen quality different may be due to manufacturer of the screen imo.
Eg, samsung, sony, etc...

Definitely, that depends from where the manufacturer source the screen panel...

Yeah, but most likely the quality can't be much difference and even it is, sometimes our naked eyes couldn't differentiate it.
Anyway, we can wait for the Asus and compare the screen by then.

is Asus N53JN is avaible in Malaysia now?where?
ermm in between both of them which one have good screen to watching a movie?

Both are HD screens, but as a user of Acer 5750G I'm very satisfied with it. Not sure about the Asus though.

u r 5750g owner right?
can u tell me which part on the 5750g u r not satisfied ?
im getting this lappy tomorrow

Maybe u can check out my thread for more informations.

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1713602
Anyway, the only thing that is not satisfied is my keyboard.

if budget is not your concern here, i think better choose asus.

you get better gaming performance, and no offense to acer, maybe better build quality as N series is a premium line from asus.

Yeap, well said, if I have the budget I would really want to lay my hands on the N series though.

Anyway, I'm also satisfied with mine now.

nothing to be sad about..right now you have the latest intel and nvidia technology in your machine

be proud with that

Totally agree with you on the build quality. Tested on AS5750G and N43JQ (older version of N series), 5750G feel so plastic, while N43JQ feel so solid. If budget allows, go for N series, else just grab 5750G, since 5750G specs & price is very attractive.

what's wrong with the kb?..not reli responsive?..or the spacing not comfortable enuf?

are u sure it's N53JN and not SN?
JN shud be i5 instead of the new sandy brigde

opps..my mistake...its N53SN and both also hd display. thx for the infos

when was this N53SN released and where can i find it? digital mall?

rumors said before end of this month but the brochure stated jan~feb so not sure yet....hopefully can get it before CNY XD

yea i'm hoping the same...almost bought the 5750G earlier haha, thank god i checked here first. where did you get the brochure then?

This post has been edited by alucard1412: Jan 16 2011, 05:32 PM

i nearby get 5750G too haha...btw get the brochure from my_nickleo post

Asus malaysia product guide updated: http://event.asus.com/my/2011/productguide/PG_Jan_Feb.pdf

Got 2 models of N53 series with i7-2630QM
1) N53SN: i7-2630QM + nVidia GT 550M 2GB, price at RM3599 drool.gif
2) N53SV: (CPU unknown yet) + nVidia GT 540M 1GB, price TBA (could be cheaper than N53SN model, also could be more expensive if it was equipped with better CPU, just wait & see)

Can't wait to get one. Probably will just get N53SV, since will not use for gaming whistling.gif

thx for the brochure

the N53SN comes with SB chip right?

This post has been edited by fiqz4ce: Jan 16 2011, 06:03 PM

ya with SB. SB chip comes with a 2 in front and total of 4 digit instead of old 1 which is only 3

for example,
new SB i7 2630QM
old i7 740QM

Thanks alot! the A43SV looks pretty sweet too, for people who prefer 14" like me, and its slightly cheaper compared. Looks like an upgrade from A42JA.

if n53sv happen to be cheaper than n53sn which is priced at 3.6k,

then the range of price for n53sv will be in between 3-3.5k only!

OMG so tempting

np~ yep, looks like an upgrade from a42ja but it has slightly weaker gc GT540 instead of GT550 i guess.
the price dif is RM200 only i prefer getting N series for it has better look and higher class than A and also free mx518 mouse (dunno if dun1 take mouse can discount more anot XD) but then your right too, A43SV is lighter and portable to carry around than N53SN

A43SV - lighter, cheaper
N53SN - better gc, better design

choices, choices...i can usually give up aesthetic value for better specs...but it has better specs too haha. Problem is its heavy for a uni student like me to bring around...

if you guys want a better screen, take hd screen (for dell) or connectyour monitor as primary display

If the laptop's monitor is only 720p, can the external monitor display FULL HD?

Oh I see.. thanks

you can extend, duplicate and set your external monitor as primary display

if you game on external monitor, it might affect your game framerate (in full screen)

I saw a lot of stores clearing off their laptop inventory. Probably getting ready for SB laptop after CNY

YEAH! Either will get N53SN or SV depending on price. But hopefully Acer comes out with something similar to 3820TG calibre

I see.. but why?

Are there any other problems using an external monitor?

no problem of using external monitor.
there's a chance of framerate dropping if play in big screen. you can test gaming in full screen 720 and 1080 resolution and see the framerate difference

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 post has been edited by alucard1412: Jan 16 2011, 08:47 PM

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!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aaand...its confirmed... ((((((((
The N53SN wont be out till after Feb, this was taken from the Asus.my facebook page:

Sek Kin Wai when will the N53SN be out to the market? it's on the product list with listed price RM3599 but no dealers for it

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.

This post has been edited by Luke1989: Jan 18 2011, 11:59 PM

really? already available in garage sale? who is the seller?

seller is hikari85

link here

just only put up yesterday i think

This post has been edited by Luke1989: Jan 19 2011, 01:56 PM

just got some news from evernew
u can book the laptop nw
it will be available earliest by next week

Nope, got a friend working there. They cannot confirm also, said either late this month or next month only.

acer built quality is highly doubtful, plus asus comes with 2 years global warranty.

N53SN got eSATA and USB 3.0?

that's why i said earliest by next week
but they need deposit of RM1k

Wah...need deposit of RM1K somemore. Just hope it releases by next week.

just hope it releases by 29th Jan when I'm back in Malaysia. Fingers crossed!

i oso duno why so much
maybe can confirm stock gua

He just told me he'll call when the stock arrives.

i bet its hard to confirm when they will be released due to cny. lots of cargos and couriers are stopping early. they dont wanna send stuff from what i heard

deposit of 1k is such a scam if the stock doesn't arrive next week..

Precisely. Normally deposits range from RM100-RM300. Never heard of RM1K. Sounds fishy.

I found out the N53SV will be using i5-2410M priced at rm2799 and estimated next week arrival.

any info about N43SL?

Got for Asus, for better performance ^^ well, i dont trust quality thingy, since all mostly made in china

nope. but probably like the N53SV, its gonna use i5 sandy bridge

I saw a variation of the N53 on an OZ website, its still only for pre-order though...but it had waaaay higher specs...16gigs of ram!

I thought i5 dual cores are not coming out so soon..

and i5-2410M??! Like seriously? Thats the lowest specs of SB full power processor... Rated weaker than i5-460M n i5-480M and clock speed is only 2.3Ghz...

At least give out i5-2520M lar...

I'm waiting for N43SL.. don't put i5 on it or i will regret waiting

that's why i'm confused
if the lappie dun appears by 13 days more
then i'm gone oversea
the deposit will be wasted coz it's almost 1/3

Dun tell me u gave the deposit already..

try to get back ur deposit... rm1k is way too much... most probably kene tipu... when i want to buy my 5750G, some sellers here ask for deposit of rm500 to confirm order. i prefer to get my stuff and give full payment. then i shop around and manage to find a shop willing to accept rm250 as deposit... waiting for 3 days is agony bcoz cant do any work... lastly i went to the shop and demand my deposit, went to senq and bought 5750g at retail price. time is money. i thought of paying too much at retail price. but now looking at lowyat plaze seller is hiking the price of 5750G up, i am quite lucky to buy at retail price which include 2 years senq warranty (no free gift- doesnt matter). now happy and can do all my work.. FASTER!!!

by this case, i oso deposit RM500 to hikari85, and just wait for 1 day confirm.
But she trustable, so no worry.

would like to buy from hikari85 but she's up north... most of the new stuffs arrived in penang first then kl... by the time reach kl... some sellers tried to mark up the price....

hikari85 is a trust worthy seller, postage isnt the problem for here, dont worry to deal with here ^^.

of coz i did not pay the deposit
RM1k eh not small amount nid to think 1st b4 act le
booking not confirm 1 also
i nid the lappie fast though but i rather buy it at higher price
PMed hikari85 also but she cant confirm the arrival date
that's why i hold on every deal dat i received so far

i asked a retailer at sunway piramid today and he told me new sandy bridge laptops for asus will only arrive like in 4-5 months time...and that sandy bridge is unstable and prone to overheating =.='' he's probably trying to get rid of his old stocks first...

Fxck another bullshitting seller, hate these guys... Yesterday I was just giving such examples in a thread.. Now it happened again..

probably Asus wont arrive so fast, since they are not rush to battle in market, since they have a good reputation, like dell also not in rush to push the new sandy bridge

what an ******* that seller -.-' lets us all hope that it will be out by next week XD waiting for hikari good news >.<!!!

4-5 months is bullshit when Asus advertised themselves in their jan-feb brochure

is not asus fault, is the malaysia distributor bull shit, f***ing slow, cause they wanna clear stock, hohoho

anyway...d guy at evernew told me the new models will arrive at least after cny...

Damn.... I dunno I need to wait until when only can buy
