With Optimus also won't last that much when gaming, since you still be using nVidia for games...
Pretty much gaming on any notebook with decent spec won't last long on battery...

Not really. Even with Optimus, you can only get 2 hours or less of gaming. It's there to toggle the lower power consumption Intel HD to the higher performance but power sucking Nvidia GPU when needed. So without Optimus, the hit in battery life comes when you are not doing anything intensive as even when idle, it still draws a reasonable amount of power.

If a 14" laptop can only last up to 1hour or less in gaming that's normal? Becos my friend's 5750g 15.6" can last for 1 hour 20 mins in full gaming condition. Haha Izit Becos of the optimus?

Its not because Optimus.
If gaming, the battery life will be the same whether there is Optimus or not. In fact, with Optimus, battery life will be lower since it need to power up Intel HD + nVidia at the same time...

Unless you are talking non-gaming task, then Optimus will make differences...

same, i lowered mine to 80%, but the temp shoot up to 85... swt

U41SV more solid than U36JC? I thought it was the opposite?

Actually I like U36JC more because the body is AL-MG and the metal is thicker. Too bad the GPU is G310M.

okok understood!

Not really. U36JC is solid, but it does bend a bit when you apply more force. The U41SV is a bit thicker and heavier with a more sturdy construction.

can i claim warranty from the store i bought my laptop?

They would just send to Asus ?

I think better to let them pick up from your doorstep or send it straight to their Royal Club service center.
