Undecided between N53SN and Dell XPS 15 MLK...

Mmmm just getting the normal screen. Budget exploded gao gao already. lol cause i'm adding the backlit k/b too.

But i heard ASUS reliability > Dell.

I dont want my laptop to go fizzle...just because of the 100 bucks.

Yea i recalled it looked like a...uh, some weirdly designed box that looked like some rushed work. rofl

But ASUS (except G series) doesnt have backlit

ALL HAIL N53SN! I JUST GOT ONE TODAY Upgraded to 8GB RAM

I'm curious, just got my n53sn ytd. So if i follow the instructions on http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...8&hl=ASUS+U41JF

he says to make the recovery dvd, then reformat.

Reformat means i use another windows or..?

Then how do i go about to uninstall the bloatwares? >.< i've got 93 running processes and i havent installed anything lol.

Please help me..

Different topic mah So i thought who can reply me first. but i still cant see the option to choose which bloatware to install during recovery...

How long will the ASUS Fastboot delay be? 15 seconds? 1 minute?

Hi guys, i've been listening to the speaker of the N53SN.

I must say, the audio is really loud, and somewhat rich

Okay just curious, anyone of you have this specific? I think the music pic is a bit too high or something, i can hear the speaker somewhat 'sizzling'. If you get what I'd meant, it's like the sharp vibrating sound.

i dont get it often, but i'm listening to this song now http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGsU4vuJAIo, and occasionally the speaker tend to vibrate sharply. The music is still okay, just the speaker vibrates.

Can anyone of you be so kind and help me play this song and listen to it? See if it vibrates too? >.< I scared the speaker is gone jor.. so within 7 days still can claim 1-to-1 unit.

Btw, my volume is 70 when this happens. Or did I put it too loud?

lol thanks guys. But i think the sound distortion could be the cause of the speaker. Cause i can still hear it when i play other songs like "BEP - Good night" etc. Even at volume 40 also i can hear it. Think i'll head to lowyat today for 1to1 swap. wow..it's really far man..far...

Yea it's true mine's 100/100/75. For vocal/surround/bass.

But er, even at 40% also i noticed the sound distortion. Is that even normal?

Yea kinda, but oh well, Free 4GB , Beijing Trip and 15" laptop bag.

lol i just came back from lowyat.

Tell you all something funny.

I went to PC3 to change the laptop because I was saying my speaker got the distorted sound right?

I drove all the way there then the guy said no stock..lmao.

He said ALL N53SN series (esp those who bought during pc fair) have to wait 2 weeks if you want 1-to-1 swap.

So guys, just sharing my experience. You better don't go there and be turned down like I did. I was screaming at the counter.

I think I can live with my speakers la...since the sifu Trance4eva says it is normal ... Just dont see too loud lo.

p/s: You gets better notify PC3 if you want 1-to-1 claim. They will put you in 'waiting list'.

Yea as long within 1 week, can 1to1 swap. But seriously, I still think ASUS lives up to it's quality.

For me, everything looks okay! cept the cranking speaker sound at max volume. lol

Yea man..omg I stil cant figure out why deleting non related bloatwares can mess up the ATK!

That sounds like a power surge wei... and of course it doesnt sound good :|

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.

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.

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

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.

12GB! Isnt that a bit of a overkill?

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

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..
