The i5 or i7 variant? Grats on your purchase I'm not familiar with Nvidia Optimus, perhaps you should read/ask here: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1808958 |

Well, you were expecting those speakers already right Easily rectified with a cheap RM100-200 external speakers, enough to blow you away~ Head over to audiophiles session, the sifus there will show you the way |

Comparing N43Sv to N53SN or N43SN? Is Asus having the best cooling for now ?? laptop wise i mean... SB i3/i5/i7 won't have much performance gain when it comes to gaming as the GPU is more important for games... You'd probably know that A series is budget-lined whereas N series is premium-lined As for cooling, it varies from models to models.. whether a particular lappy is good at cooling or not, need to read actual reviews |

QUOTE(zeez_thebee @ Apr 12 2011, 12:35 PM) wow...thanks for the fast reply! =) hmm icic....rc410 has the worst graphics...din see that coming....it looked pretty smooth n sharp while playing a HD vid (not sure 720p or 1080p)..and the sound system was amazing...tried it in lowyat yesterday...wayyy better than the u41 n few others that i was actually keen in. the only one that matched it's audio was the inspiron 14r. as for the u41...i was quite taken by the design n all...but the flimsy keyboard (the whole thing sinks down when applied a little pressure) n the soft speaker was pretty much a turn off...=/ but those two negatives aside...is u41sv a good buy? performance n durability wise...=D and is samsung a good brand? or shud i go one of the asus mentioned? thanks again! QUOTE(ic3rock @ Apr 12 2011, 12:54 PM) Actually Samsung build their lcd their own le, some more for PC's lcd, Samsung 1 is much better compare with other. Even Toshiba brand also using Samsung's lcd. But other than lcd, i think their laptop so so only... The graphics you guys referring to as in screen quality or graphic card performance ? |

QUOTE As for cooling, it varies from models to models.. whether a particular lappy is good at cooling or not, need to read actual reviews Its hard to say actually, usually larger laptop are cooler, but then the N53Sn comes with a better GPU which will undoubtedly produce more heat... If both have the same specs, theoretically the N53SN would be cooler... Need to read from reviews on whether the laptops are cool or not... Here's a review on the N53Sv, the specs may differ though: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Asus-N...ok.43709.0.html You can also refer to Trance4eva's review As for cooling, I think the XPS 15 seemed really impressive based on the review here: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Dell-X...0M.51186.0.html |
