Went to Digital Mall just now to compare acer 4253 and asus K43U

End up buying K43U,so much nicer build quality than acer.

Saw 1215 and dm1z but screen to small to my liking.

cost 1299 with free gifts

Having very positive experience with the K43U so far.

Cant really find any fault for such a bargain.

RM1299 +
laptop bag(hand carry)
mouse
screen cleaner
earphone

battery life for normal usage(mostly browsing) can last more than 4 hour

I didnt buy it in PC fair,bought it in Digital Mall

So far have been using my K43U for quite extensively. Battery life really is impressive for M.office,browsing,downloads,zipping etc.

Face some lag when downloading,browsing and doing work.

Maybe SSD can solve it

e350 got better graphics
better battery life

My K43U so far with battery saving mode lasted me more than 6 hours on pure microsoft office and browsing. After 6 hours still has more than 30%

Impressive for a 14" laptop.

Oh and dont think having SSD will help since most of the bottleneck is at the CPU side.

E-350 processor is shouldered directly onto the mobo

kenot upgrade to E-450 when it comes out

Improvements to E-450 includes:

Dual core 1.65ghz with turbo boost
HD 6320 with higher clock speed
1333mhz RAM

and still retaining 18w tdp

No heat issue so far for asus K43U

c-50 more expensive than atom but still better than atom for having gpu and also lower tdp

For people interested in adding an SSD to e-350

Not really worth it

Tested with Intel 510 SSD

I lazy plug it back in la

But I am saying base on real world usage experience of after using for 1 week

on windows power option "balance" mode

Lasted me 6 hours with around 20+% left

on web browsing and M.Office stuff.

Yeap

battery life went up may be cuz i change to ssd as well

Retail is RM1199

quieter
programs load faster and doesnt lag as much
pocket one giant hole
