wat i can say bout the B & O is dun expect to much from a laptop speaker but the fact is the B & O is much much louder than other brand laptop but dun open until max because will distort...75-80% is the perfect (N53sn user)

Abit disappointing I would say... seems like JBL and harman/kardon are still leading the pack at the moment hmm.gif
Anyone tried comparing the Toshiba NB520's harman/kardon to the B&O in Asus N series? I think the former sounds way better laugh.gif

Does anyone experience with Asus U41SV or other Asus models when shutting down the computer it takes long time. so long it didnt shut down. the blue windows 7 shutting down screen.

sad.gif

It happens a few times already. I had to force shut down using the off button.

Perhaps you might wanna try restoring to out-of-box state and see whether it solves the problem onot? hmm.gif
If it doesn't solve, then maybe its hardware problem, which is unliklely

Well not having Optimus can be a blessing in disguise depending on how you look at it. No iffy problems with it.

From what I read at the ASUS site, under specifications, it doesn't have OPTIMUS tech, btw ASUS A43SV(or probably other later models with Windows 7) have AHCI mode for SATA enabled by default, which means SATA II/III SSD are just the matter of plug and play! biggrin.gif
I don't mind not having OPTIMUS, it's not like I'm a fan of Transformers.
*
Actually I have to agree with you nod.gif
Not having Nvidia Optimus is not really a big setback.... how many of us could actually use the laptop for 5 hours+ on battery? laugh.gif
Without Optimus, there'll be less headaches when it comes to game compatibilities as well hmm.gif

a43sv without optimus..4 n half hours..
n43sl with optimus.. 4 hours +.

thats abit..er

Added on May 13, 2011, 12:22 pm

as kelvin said. yeah it does. it shows intel and nvidia. got 2 graphic then  rclxms.gif  rclxms.gif

4 hours + is considered very good already, especially for a non-U series laptop nod.gif
Older generations of laptop can hardly survive 3 hours laugh.gif

Well, I guess if it detects 2 GPUs then it has Optimus nod.gif
THanks for the heads-up~

Oh ya, I think I might just add into the pricelist whether which Asus laptop has Optimus or not, easier for people to refer too...
So iinm, A43Sv don't have Nvidia Optimus. U31, U41, U43, A53, N53 and N43SL have right? hmm.gif
How about A43Sj? A42 seires? hmm.gif
Can sifus please clarify this? thanks thanks notworthy.gif

high performance in term of entertainment option by power4gear is around 4hours
so i assume can hit 5 hours + if low performance with bluetooth off
will upload some pic at night to proof 2 GPUs and battery life~~ tongue.gif

Yeah, if mere web browsing I don't think it'll be that short nod.gif
Thanks in advance for the review laugh.gif

seems that SV is better hmm.gif no optimus but can 4 n half, SL 4+ only.
you mean gt intel graphic and another is nvidia? intel HD gc and nvidia ha?
*
Well, the results are not very accurate at this point... laugh.gif
But afaik, the battery capacity for the A43 has always been larger than N43 series

Yes, one Nvidia GT540M, the other Intel HD3000

im comparing with a43sv which doesnt have optimus and running gt540m all the time.
how come got same battery life. :/
*
Its not accurate in a sense that it was tested by different people?
Unless we can standardized what's been running on each laptop? We can't be too confident on the results...
The ideal way is to have 1 person owning both the A43 and N43 to test the battery lives out (with the same parameters on both laptops), but that's almost impossible laugh.gif
I think you shouldn't worry about the battery life that much.. the battery will eventually degrade over time anyway

oh ok. was using everest tongue.gif
thx biggrin.gif
cannot review much now, since i bought it 2 hours ago.. and now still burning recovery disc.. (disc 3 of 5)
Later ill give my thoughts about this laptop.

but for now, id say, I love the keyboard! <3
at first, the non chiclet keyboards draw me back.. but after using the keyboard, i kinda love it lol. the keyboard feels more like dekstop keyboard instead of normal laptop biggrin.gif
its a lil deeper when pressed.
Oh and yeah, B & O speaker is quite nice. id say, pretty good for laptop. but only few hint of bass can be heard.

It has Optimus. thats all for now, imma tell more soon after i played around with this new baby. haha
*
Wow, Asus sure use a lot of recovery discs haha laugh.gif
Yeah, I know what you mean about the keyboard.... I was initially rather upset when I tried the N53 laptop's keyboard... the flexes doesn't really inspire confidence sad.gif
But since the keyboard of the N43 is much smaller, the flexes were less tangible rclxms.gif
I even like how its non-chiclet style... I think I type much better on it.... the buttons are huge, and makes touch typing easier and more accurate thumbup.gif
Looking forward to your review bro notworthy.gif
