QUOTE(blur_mak @ May 19 2011, 10:19 AM) I'm find that the power adapter when plugged in, battery charging while playing game, it got very very hot. like a hot water glass. Is that normal? mine is U41SV. It gets hot when it's drawing more power like when you're gaming or when it's charging. When you're not doing much, then it sips less power causing less heat.

The very fact that they squeezed an i7 inside it makes the MBA looks pretty stupid.

QUOTE(SBS888G @ Jun 6 2011, 09:05 AM) Do anyone of you actually use the programs that come with the laptop? As far as I am concerned, I am intolerant towards crapware. I got rid of most of the bloatware. They either didn't do anything helpful or other programs did it way better.

QUOTE(blur_mak @ Jun 18 2011, 03:21 PM) » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Model Asus U41SV Anyone experience this with their kensington lock? I've only used it under normal application for less than 10 times; no excessive pulling or dragging or any theft case but yet this happened. Emailed to asus and below is their reply: We apologize for what you are facing at the moment. From the picture, the damage seems to be caused when inserting and pulling the Kensington lock. The lock is suppose to be securely holding on to the metal holder inside instead of the plastic itself. As for the dented areas of the casing, it also seems to be knocks from trying to insert the Kesington lock. We are sorry but cases like this will not be included under warranty repair.Sigh..is it me or is the material ain't hard and durable enough? Looks very very much user caused. The Kensington lock should slot inside it smoothly. I think this is the first time I seen someone abuse it like that. QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Jun 19 2011, 09:15 PM) Not just sounds system, the cooling and build should be better as well...  Highly doubt the cooling is better. Should be using the exact same internals with the A series. Can also say that build quality isn't that different either.

I need MS Office to do my assignments but the price is too $$$. Thanks Asus offers Microsoft Office 2010 Starter. You get only Word and Excel.

QUOTE(Sky.Live @ Jun 26 2011, 10:24 PM) is there any laptops which provides more vertical resolution? 16:9 is a very bad ratio for productivity.. force more scrolling around.. especially at 1333x768, you basically having the same vertical resolution as your 10 years crt, 1024x768.. Full HD is too much on a laptop tho.. Well for Asus, there isn't much choice for the vertical resolution since most if not all of their notebooks have 768 or 1080 vertical resolution.

QUOTE(vinchess @ Jun 29 2011, 09:43 AM) between a43sv and a53sv what are the pros and cons of this 2 models? only different i see is the screen size and sonic focus. please advise The A53, at 15.6" is slightly larger, has a numpad and also Optimus graphic switching technology which can increase battery life by a bit. The con is that it's naturally bulkier and heavier. The A43 is smaller and lighter. But lacks Optimus so battery life may take a dip, even when idling.

QUOTE(vinchess @ Jun 29 2011, 09:49 AM) so battery wise, a53 beat a43 hand down? i heard there are problem with optimus during gaming, can it be solved? what about the specs? both same yes? I wouldn't say hands down either. It's just a slight gain in battery life. Optimus is a bit temperamental sometimes. Most of the time, it's solved by driver updates or manual toggling. Spec wise, they're both roughly identical. This post has been edited by AlexLai: Jun 29 2011, 10:28 AM
