I'm sure it'll be good. lol.

See, thing is that, when we pay such a huge amount for a trusted brand, we tend to have very, very high expectations. When that happens, we tend to point out the slightest fault in N53SN and make it sound so bad.

But actually, when you think of it, do your N53SN :

-Overheat on your palms when you stress it?
-Optical disc tray doesnt budge?
-Some keys feels hard and clickety?
-BSoD on your without any reasons?
-Any of your ports aren't working?
-Thin lines of stripes on your LCD?
-Your speaker totally/partly busted?
-Scratches/dents on the frames?
-GPU failing?

...to name a few.

If say, you have 1 , and only 1 problem. Be thankful.

Thanks for posting the info here. I just think of go to PC3 just now.

I bought the N53S with upgrading to 8GB ram at PC fair tat day...having the same issues like sound distortion, machine running slow, machine hang (few times already) while surfing net, lots of junk softwares installed, etc.

But after I reformat and reinstall (not from recovery mode thot, fresh install from my own CD), install the necessary drivers, then everything seem to be fine now...just tat I still cannot get rid of the lousy speaker. Will give PC3/Asus a call asking them to solve this.

Thx

I have fautly or even spoilt HDMI port .. system slow .. damn it , u call this an i7 ? Gonna reformat using my own cd and see whether things be better or not ...

U sure can buddy ?

Yes..the bloatwares are rubbish IMO. Out of the 20 bloatwares (imaging, imaging and MORE imaging), i find a few useful; namely the Wireless Console, Fastboot, e-driver, SonicMaster, NuancePDF etc.

My runnning processes fell from 93 to 67 when i deleted around 15 of them bloatwares. Gosh..

But Fastboot is commendable. Not too shabby.

I just did it last nite, still testing on it...the performance is better now compare to original settings

I m test run my programming works with apache n mysql services running right now, still can feel tat a bit slow response when refreshing the web page. Do u guys notice the same?? Isit my internet line slow or the lowyat server in high traffic right now?

If it's slow means there's too many bloatwares in your pc. Try removing most, if not all. lol

Reformat ... quite ok now with a boot time of 80 secs >< Is it ok ?? BTW, my HDMI port comfirm spoilt ><

Then you better change bro. As for me, I havent tested my HDMI yet..cause i have HD TV.. but touch wood it's not spoilt la.

The only slowness I get is when antivirus accessing HDD, causing too many activities on HDD. Few weeks ago, was running heavy simulation involving multi threaded image processing in virtual machine. i7 works well, can see CPU turbo boost to 2.60-2.67GHz. Was doing VS2010 programming simultaneously in another virtual machine at the same time, doesn't feel lag at all.

Note 1: I never reformat and only uninstall few bloatwares. Didn't bother about bootup time, as I usually just put to sleep, perhaps restart once a week.
Note 2: Have 12GB ram to support multiple VM

12GB! Isnt that a bit of a overkill?

Oh btw, you using the free VM is it? For personal.

Using VMPlayer from VMWare, is free.

Normally will have 2-3 VM running at the same time, each VM assigned with 2GB ram, so 12GB is just gam gam for me.

lol cause i tot of making full use of the i7 and 8GB ram .

Maybe get VMPlayer + XP + 1GB ram = Play those old school games..

Hey guys , i wonder should i upgrade to 8gb or 12gb cuz my 4gb ram seems like not enough ><

Do you need to run memory hungry apps like virtual machine, photoshop or 3D rendering? If not, 4GB should be enough.

Yes exactly, 4GB is just nice for a home user with gaming.

Of course virtualizations + video rendering will require more.

u feel like 4gb not enuf, then make it 6gb. 8gb is totally overkill unless u run memory hungry apps like cs5 and photoshop

Eggggxactly.
