Or only little different? Im not sure how big the gap is between GT550M and GT540M but can tell you that the max amount of memory does not make much of dif. 1GB is already sufficient as the memory only helps in the screen resolution. You might need more than 1gb if your gonna connect to 3 or more screens |

Asus A43Sv i5-2410M + Nvidia GT540M@RM2599 2. Acer Aspire TimelineX 4830TG, i5-2410M + Nvidia GT540M@RM2499 3. Dell Inspiron 14R, i5-2410M + AMD HD6630@RM2349 Well, this is pretty obvious… These are the models with the best GPU in the market right now. So it’s all down to personal preference on brand. 4830TG came 2nd even though it's cheaper than A43Sv since it comes with integrated battery. Granted it saves some trouble, but we all know heat is the No1 enemy of battery, and gaming = lots of heat produced. Do take note this may change soon as Asus N43 series and Dell XPS 14 are getting updated soon |

Yeah, the built-in battery would be a let-down for most of the gamers it aims at
 Asus A43Sv is already out This post has been edited by [PF] T.J.: Mar 31 2011, 08:57 PM |

Size is the same as 14" right? Or the 14 refers specifically to the screen only?
I know the laptop is heavy, much heavier than regular 15" This post has been edited by [PF] T.J.: Mar 31 2011, 09:58 PM |
