wonders if all the new laptops that come with nvidia gc all equipped with optimus

according to first page, this model using gt540m, i thought this card got optimus?

now im getting confused after scrolling through all these pages, lol but here NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M - Notebookcheck.net Tech says it got optimus? or what i miss?

thanks in advance

so that's what i miss. lol so this means a43sv will only comes with gt540m, no intel hd3000 whatsoever?

i see, thanks for clarification, one more question though, any other laptop that comes with nv gpu but no optimus like a43sv?

ow ok then, thanks for the clarification. will continue following this thread, hopes can find a model that fits my need.

since im not buying soon, maybe by latest in early july. i might even continue using my desktop until the end of the year
so im not rushing this. just think i might as well follow this thread for now.

since u're asking, basically:

brand : dell, asus (any other brand that you guys think is good, i will considered it)
budget :around 3.5k (maybe can top up a bit to max 4k)
spec: i7 sb, 2630qm should be more than enough
any decent gpu (preferred nvidia but since no support for optimus in linux yet, will be a waste to pay something that you cant use)
should be able for mild gaming in windows (borderlands, pes2011 and stuff) and good enough to run photoshop cs5
got freedos better, backlit keyboard is a bonus

what i don't really care : webcam, hdd size, battery life, weight
screen size: nothing more than 15", the smaller the better, a higher resolution is preferred however.

since im going to leave this desktop at home, so need a laptop to bring to my college
that can do most of what my desktop can do.

came across quite a few model but maybe i'm just picky,
never mind, still a long way to go

maybe that the part that i say maybe i'm just picky? i'm not taking creative multimedia, just love to do and learn web design in spare time,
in that case i prefer to boot into Windows to use cs5 and notepad++. The rest of the time will be in fedora.
so an unused dedicated gc will be a wasted.

now comes to think about it, this shouldn't be really hard to pick a laptop.
nvm, it's not like i'm going to buy new laptop soon enough, so might as well keep reading these thread.
thanks again

don't really dig the slim design, plus already stated that weight and battery life is not really my concern. nvm tho,
not really going to buy a laptop soon, might just as well following this thread first

i'm eyeing m14x, too bad not in my budget range

one question, i5-2537M is ulv type isnt it? how good u guys think will it run photoshop cs5?

i see, now i'm eyeing those m11x-r3, don't know if it worths it or not

i don't make any decision yet, u know for the price 3.8k,
for sure can get other laptop with better spec, that's what i'm thinking.

haha quite true, plus i still got my desktop to be used everytime i go back home for semester break

i don't think warranty will be void due to changing ram
ppl do it all the time

sifu, another question, would there be any noticeable in performance for hdd 5400rpm and 7200rpm?

so, will there be any new model/ refreshed laptop coming in another 1,2 months?
