Why ASUS?

Are you in the market for a laptop but don't want to spend a whole lot of money? If so, consider the ASUS name brand. ASUS has many years of experience in the industry and makes some of the highest consumer rated laptops and has repeatedly been commended for their reliability and advancements, in line with their motto of "Inspiring Innovation, Persistent Perfection".




QUOTE
Reliability

Institutions simply cannot afford downtime. Expensive IT resources are required to fix computer problems, but more importantly, business can lose sales, students can miss lessons, and doctors can miss urgent information. ASUS demands the utmost in quality in every product that carries our brand name to keep downtime to an absolute minimum. In fact, ASUS was recently recognized again by RESCUECOM as the most reliable notebook and netbook brand.

Service

When you buy ASUS notebooks for your institution, you can rest assured that you are backed up by the BEST complimentary service package in the industry. At no extra cost, you receive:

ADW Warranty*: An accidental damage warranty that protects against drops, spills, fire, and electrical surges
ASUS 360 Warranty: A comprehensive 2 year global notebook warranty that includes a flawless display (zero bright dot) guarantee, free two way standard shipping for RMAs, and 24/7 US-based tech support

*Applies in the USA and Canada only


ASUS Making History

ASUS products make history. Here are some of the more notorious feats ASUS notebooks have accomplished that illustrate the quality, reliability, and superb engineering that go into every ASUS notebook:


QUOTE
1998, Space:  ASUS visited space when a Russian cosmonaut brought a high-performance ASUS notebook along for his two year mission to the International Space Station.  Even under the rigors of space flight, the notebook delivered outstanding stability and reliability.

2004, Amazon Rain Forest:  Field conditions don’t get any more extreme than in the Amazon rain forest.  That’s why China’s 2004 Amazon Expedition team chose ASUS.  The notebook performed flawlessly, playing a vital role in the expedition’s success.

2004, Antarctica:  Mountaineers brought ASUS along for their ascent to Vinson Massif, the highest peak on Antarctica.  Under the harshest weather conditions imaginable, including high wins and temperature as low as -60 degrees F, the notebooks worked perfectly.

2007, Mount Everest:  In 2007, ASUS notebooks conquered Mount Everest.  Other brands began the ascent up the tallest mountain in the world, but only the ASUS notebook functioned at the top.


If ASUS notebooks can perform this well in the harshest of conditions, think what they can do for you.

I suggest you put tutorial on how to update the Optimus if the driver don't recognize the card.I pasted it from my previous tutorial with some minor editing

First MAKE SURE you already install Intel graphic driver AND uninstall old nvidia driver before proceeding.

First open up device manager, look under display adapters and open up the nvidia GPU (or standard display adapter if you haven't install it). Open the properties for it, under details tab select Hardware ID as below. Note the highlighted item as this is important.

user posted image

Now extract the installer, if you already try to install but it failed to detect the nvidia GPU, the folder is usually at C:\NVIDIA. Open it up, look under display driver folder, full link is C:\NVIDIA\DisplayDriver\270.51\Vista 64-bit\International\Display.Driver. There is plenty of INF file inside there but you need to only edit 4 of them, they are:

nvac.inf
nvam.inf
NVLT.inf
nvsm.inf

Remember the highlighted Hardware ID mentioned earlier? In my case the first one is '1050'. Open the INF file mentioned above and use F3 to find the '1050'. Once you find it you edit the number after SUBSYS_ to match the one on your laptop, as shown below. Do it on all four INF file mentioned. Edit every '1050' SUBSYS_ you can find

user posted image

Run the installer again (C:\NVIDIA\DisplayDriver\270.51\Vista 64-bit\International) run setup.exe. The installer should now recognize your card and begin installing the driver. Enjoy the new upgraded driver

2 hours for high performance mode is considered as good...
But battery saving mode, with everything kept to a minimum (apart from Wifi), a regular 14 incher should be able to reach approx. 3 hours hmm.gif

Well, the abysmal battery life can be considered 'normal' because of our lower capacity batteries.

ATI or Nvidia does it matter to you?
GT540M in the new Asus lappies is better than the HD6570 in A42JP anyways...

honestly Asus has always been a strong supporter of NV GPU, even though they make models from both camps...

their NV GPU are usually more innovative than AMD ones, such as better cooler, better PCB board, etc...

even if u look at past Asus laptop models, majority of them are using NV GPU instead of ATi ones... only when NV GPU are having sub par performance then Asus would switch to ATi ones... eg HD4600 vs GT 100M in N81 series, HD5800 vs GTS 300M in G73 series...

guys, noob question here. On the asus website for my laptop, under driver downloads, there're like few driver installers for the same thing, example for graphic card there're 2, and for wireless there're like 5. Choose 1 or download and install all?

i suppose Asus is juz sourcing from different company... so that they will always ve stock...

especially now that Intel abolished the whole Centrino system, doesn't really matter which brand of adapter they use... they still work the same way...

Hi, my friend is using Asus N53SV, and he has a problem currently. The problem is, his function keys are not working. He had downloaded the driver under ATK which is provided by Asus on its Support section. And he installed it. After he restarted his notebook as requested at the end of the installation, a message pop up which write something like ATK0100 should be installed. And he cant google ATK0100 driver for Windows 7. Can anyone help? Your help is much appreciated.

Hi, my friend is using Asus N53SV, and he has a problem currently. The problem is, his function keys are not working. He had downloaded the driver under ATK which is provided by Asus on its Support section. And he installed it. After he restarted his notebook as requested at the end of the installation, a message pop up which write something like ATK0100 should be installed. And he cant google ATK0100 driver for Windows 7. Can anyone help? Your help is much appreciated.

I also encountered the same problem last night,just using the "E-driver" reinstall it, then will be ok soon icon_rolleyes.gif

There's no warranty card.. Just keep ur receipt as proof for date of purchase else they will start ur warranty based on date of manufacture beneath ur laptop..

You shouldn't update the BIOS via utility in Windows 7, just copy it to USB drive and flash it in BIOS; much, MUCH safer.

Unfortunately there isn't a way to recover BIOS for ASUS, so you need to send them for repair. Just say it won't boot, don't mention anything about BIOS

Where to get the laptop screen protector?

1. Put on a screen protector (two types. I recommend anti-glare type but this is a personal decision). Raytec is a good brand.

Anyone selling in this forum?

The Lambo is of course the premium line for Asus. nod.gif

But the VX6 (netbook version) is still a looker and the price is like RM2.2k now. A RM400 premium over the same speced EeePC 1215N.

not ok.. delete the old one
also, when installing a new driver, choose "custom install"
then tick "perform clean install"

we used to go to safe mode to delete an old driver then only we would install the new driver. but now it comes with this "perform clean install" , so we don't need to delete the old driver in safe mode.

but the good way to install a new driver is to thoroughly uninstall the old driver to avoid conflict. that's why there is an option of "perform clean install". it thoroughly removes the old files from the old driver.

Nope, still using the 270.51 beta. Unless the WHQL gives a lot of improvement or stability, I usually don't upgrade.

no it doesn't... it merely removes the custom settings... there are still files left over...

u'll need specialized programs like DriverSweeper if u want to perform a clean uninstall...

make sure u ve a copy of the old driver, then download DriverSweeper, uninstall Forceware, run DriverSweeper in SAFE MODE, boot back and reinstall the latest Forceware

if the situation continues, then it's up to u to decide if u want to revert or not...

Sure! It is a darn nice laptop for the price I paid.

EDIT:

user posted image

5 days old Asus U41SV with Logitech M510. I bought to use in college, at first just for assignment and presentation as I stay in college for almost 12 hours every day. If I didn't have laptop, I have to come back at night only can use my desktop and do work.

I bought this last Saturday at PC Fair KLCC. I had a budget of rm 3k and my criteria were : a) light and portable b) decent battery life c) good looking d) not an Acer, Toshiba or Sony

So in the end it was either a Dell Inspiron 14R or Asus A4x series but then I saw the new U series laptop. Instantly made up my mind based on the looks, didn't know it was such an imba laptop at the time.

user posted image

Front view of the laptop. Full specs are in my signature below. The LCD screen is darn nice. Chiclet keyboard nice to type on, easy to clean also. The colour scheme is attractive (blue on black/ charcoal) and 'carbon fibre' near the LCD. Wrist area has matte texture, not glossy and comfortable for long periods.

user posted image

Speakers are a bit soft but are made by Altec Lansing. I can't comment much as I normally use the Sennheisers I bought on the same day instead. nVidia Optimus technology saves battery.

user posted image

Lid is aluminium alloy. This helps reduce the weight and since it isn't glossy, also easier to keep clean and presentable.

user posted image

The laptop is only 2.2kg with the 8 cell battery. Pretty light and very portable. Profile is less than 1 inch as advertised. Very easy to store and carry around.

user posted image

8 cell battery. This one is advertised to last around 10 hours.

user posted image

Why do I call this laptop imba? Because it is very powerful for such a light portable laptop with a long lasting battery. With light usage (surfing web, listening to music, typing in Word or PowerPoint), this laptop can easily last >5 hours especially if you take advantage of the different energy profiles. For me, I use Power4Gear Entertainment and full brightness most of the time and the laptop still lasts at least 5 hours. Gaming on this laptop is very possible with the GT540M. So far I've run Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, Mass Effect 2 and Bad Company 2 on either medium, medium-high or high and all are playable. While gaming today, I didn't realize the laptop wasn't charging. After 2 hours of Brotherhood, it had dropped from 70+% to 25% which was enough to last another 2 hours at least.

Build quality is solid I would say. The keyboard has little flex and is nice type on. Only problems I have are : a) SD card slot is exposed b) speakers underneath the laptop c) glossy surfaces are very easy to scratch d) no USB 3.0

Overall a nice laptop. Original price is RM 2,999. Thunder Match was offering RM 2,899 but I managed to get it for RM 2,750 thumbup.gif

Posted tongue.gif not sure what to write also. Let me know if you want anything specific.

EDIT :

Ah... forgot to mention the laptop came with a lot of junk installed. Best is reformat (but no disc provided? I had to use my own ori copy) then pick which software you want from the utilities and drivers disc nod.gif

running nVidia 270.61 VERDE now

secondrate , your Asus U41SV look exactly like mine U41JF! he he..

Wanna ask u if the area on the left of track point getting warm? Got USB 3.0?

Also wanna share that the right hinge holding the LCD making tick tack sound. Found out that the plastic on body open a bit when open the lid and close back when i close down the lid, hence the tick tack sound. Also I think sometimes the hard disk making clicking sound when idle.

Walau eh...wonder if i should send back for warranty? just owned it for a month.

Asus website states 2.0kg with 6 cell, the screen on the display laptop said 2.2kg for this 8 cell. All I know is, much much lighter than my old 2.4kg - 2.6kg laptop. My back can tell!

I read that the previous U series had keyboard flex. This one doesn't have much. Build quality I would say is pretty solid lor. But I don't like that the glossy areas get scratched so easily. I wipe dust off with microfibre also scratch. Left side of the DVD drive cover popped out last night but I pushed it back in and it's fine now. Should not handle the drive so roughly...

I tested the display unit in PC Fair kao kao, found that the flex was gone but was kinda skeptical because it was just one unit.

Yeah absolutely hate the glossy part around the LCD. LCD is matte so no glare but the glossy part next to it are glaring and also dust magnet. Also the bottom of the DVD is kinda soft. So don't press too hard on the right side. As for keyboard, a bit flex, but i don't really mind that.

The warmness of the left side make my hand really uncomfortable. For me, the build quality of U41JF is kinda fragile and soft. U have to be gentle with this laptop. tongue.gif

Don't know him haha. The other Asus booth upstairs offered me original price of RM 2,999 only so I went back to ThunderMatch.

Hehe... I can't really say about build quality... not used to laptops. Maybe in a few months. Gloss is nice to look at but... nightmare to take care of. That's why I love the brushed metal lid, one less thing to OCD about.

After you remove the battery, the area above the keyboard, does it flex horribly? This use to be the main problem in the U45Jc, U460 and U41J sad.gif

It won't increase the temperature, your performance wouldn't be affected too much either. 4GB is good enough for most tasks.

current user here, i can give u a short pros and cons about it..

pros:
very study, i would say as sturdy as current N series biggrin.gif
i7 woot!
nice chicklet keyboard
big and smooth mousepad
in aircon room, palmrest is really ice cool

cons:
huge power brick
weird placement of power supply port( to the right of vent)
might not have optimus...
sucky speakers
slightly heavier than average 14", due to build quality
no usb 3.0

overall very satisfied, i can live with most of the cons, just annoyed no optimus smile.gif

why you choose this model at the first place?

basically this model is same spec as 5750g. and at the same price. So i was thinking which model should take -.- 14" seems like too small for gaming.

and btw, optimus technology is important?

basically this model is same spec as 5750g. and at the same price. So i was thinking which model should take -.- 14" seems like too small for gaming.

and btw, optimus technology is important?
*
hm...didn't i just list down the stuff i wana install? i'm not installing them for the sake of testing out my i7 mind you, i do use them for my work. Anyway i'm ok with gaming with 14". As for optimus well...even without it can get a max of 4 hours battery life with wifi, lowest brightness and battery saving. Just that wont help reduce temps. I get about high 40s to mid 50s at idle with cooling fan. In aircon room can drop another 10 degrees.

i'm one of those who gave up waiting for n43sl tongue.gif besides, n43sl no i7 anymore...and this looks good enough for me.

The one above "gaming graphics", the label only "graphics"
If no Optimus, should have the same score...

Grats on the purchase! Seems poisonous enough  wub.gif
After you remove the battery, the area above the keyboard, does it flex horribly? This use to be the main problem in the U45Jc, U460 and U41J  sad.gif
*
Thanks smile.gif. Nope, no flex. Maybe because the battery is below that carbon fibre area instead of the keyboard itself.

The one thing that seriously ticks me off is the glossy bezel around the LCD. Dust = scratch, wipe = scratch. One week old laptop already got so many, one year old leh? Especially since I take it everywhere. College, lunch at kopitiam, etc.

Haha, mine also. Was very surprised because I was at McD last week, I just wipe (not really wipe, just goyang2 the tissue to remove the dust) got scratch already.
I wasn't even made the tissue to be fully in contact with the glossy part sweat.gif

->10k mAh battery
->extrernal speakers and woofer
->be able to handle huge wattage

current user here, i can give u a short pros and cons about it..

pros:
very study, i would say as sturdy as current N series biggrin.gif
i7 woot!
nice chicklet keyboard
big and smooth mousepad
in aircon room, palmrest is really ice cool

cons:
huge power brick
weird placement of power supply port( to the right of vent)
might not have optimus...
sucky speakers
slightly heavier than average 14", due to build quality
no usb 3.0

overall very satisfied, i can live with most of the cons, just annoyed no optimus smile.gif


Bro, what do you mean no optimus? I thought GT5 series include optimus capability?

So, is true right there were no optimus for A43SV.. sad.gif

Open the Power Options,

change it to 80% or 60% and try the game again..

What is brand of the external HDD? Do you using USB3.0 cable? Make sure it's blue colour one. Try to unplug and plug in again for both the head of the USB3.0 cable. If cannot, maybe something wrong with the clock being sent to the PCIe bus. Reset the BIOS or updated it may help. That's all i can tell you, other thing ask pro~ whistling.gif

Well, since USB 3.0 still not natively supported by Intel chipset and is using 3rd party controller, you will need driver for that...

Sifu lee, can you give me your opinion about U series?
I'm thinking to buy U36, I need a light weight laptop and I don't mind it did not have internal dvdrw.
I don't play game. Just for document editing, internet, sometime photoshop.

Most likely the heatsink placement, where the heat transfer from GPU to CPU then to fan..

I'm using U41SV, one of the latest in this series smile.gif a fine companion. Light (2.2kg) + good backpack + long battery life = extreme portability. This model has good build quality, better than the older ones I think.

Bro i think you are quite pro on Asus since you are the thread starter. I'm really stuck with Asus and Acer now in decision of getting a laptop.

Can you let me know which should i choose? I mean Asus model. Budget must be below rm3000 and more on gamings.

so far decision is still on this few model :

1) Asus A53SV-SX106V - i5
2) Asus A43SV- SX028V - i7
3) Acer 4830TG Timeline - i5


Actually i also can pay extra for N53SN - i7 but got 2 major problems.

1) Keyboard i totally cant accept.
2) I heard this model is phase out? WIll they come back with new model with better keyboards?

gaming = emphasize more on GPU...

CPU is not as important...

besides i dun really like 4830TG due to the battery... integrated battery + dedicated GPU is a bad combo imho... when u run an intensive program, the heat produced by the CPU and GPU will affect the battery, and since there's no way u can remove the battery in 4830TG, it's like cooking it, and heat has been proven to be bad for battery cells...

if u really want the battery AND performance of 4830TG, take a look at U41SV...

pure performance wise N53SN is the clear winner here (quad core + GT 550M)... it's the current model in the market now... but the others won't be too shabby either since GT 540M and GT 550M are essentially the same GPU...

Basically, Astria has pretty much summed it all up. If you have a problem with the keyboard then that would be an issue as you'll be stuck with it for a while.

The alternative is the U41SV. A normal chiclet keyboard but it packs a GT540M which is good enough for anytime you can throw at it.

blame Asus N80V and N81V i guess... tongue.gif

they probably set the standard for performance of a top notch 14" and it's inevitable to increase the weight when u need a better cooling solution... nod.gif

no, N series = Performance while A = Entry...

they re juz 2 different lines of family targeting different market...

N53SN, N53SV, N43SN and M43SL are the current models in the N series now...

just read the specs of U41SV. what is so special? Why it is priced at rm2899?


1 more thing on Asus, there is lack of info on the website. and it is very misleading. until now i still cant confirm whether the A43SV/A53SV is aluminium silver or black in the inside.

I pm 2 sellers Hikari and Netherless. Both says it is black in colour ( whole black even interior ) but when i check at Lowyat building and PC FAIR it is aluminium silver in the keyboard panel.

and still i cant find many info on A43SV-SX028V.

honestly the battery on my N81Vp is only slightly heavier than the old BenQ S41...

take it off and u can feel that u didn't take out bulk of the weight of the laptop... majority of the weight went into the heatsink and the LCD...

light weight, long battery life with good hardware (GT 540M), that's the selling pt of U41SV...

then couple it with Asus' 2yrs int'l warranty...

The newer laptops with Sandy Bridge procs can last around 3-4 hours now but the U41SV wipes the floor clean at 8 hours.

i dont mind la erm for the little bit of weight. its okay.

i want higher specs. 14" i think at least can last 2-3 hours rite? its okay for me if the battery can last like normal 14" laptops.

2-3 hours is what?

A43Sv with i7 is likely to not have Nvidia Optimus which is a really bad thing, maximum battery life probably 3-4hours on battery saving mode and light web browsing... Not to mention it's hotter..

Should can last 3hours for 4400mAh, more than 3hours for 5200mAh if you're not in gaming.. biggrin.gif

Meaning that without optimus this model I use for gaming can last only less than 2 hours? That suppose to be little. Why always everything is not perfect? If this model have optimise and 3.0 USB then no need think Liao

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.

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...

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.

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.

gaming = emphasize more on GPU...

CPU is not as important...

besides i dun really like 4830TG due to the battery... integrated battery + dedicated GPU is a bad combo imho... when u run an intensive program, the heat produced by the CPU and GPU will affect the battery, and since there's no way u can remove the battery in 4830TG, it's like cooking it, and heat has been proven to be bad for battery cells...

if u really want the battery AND performance of 4830TG, take a look at U41SV...

pure performance wise N53SN is the clear winner here (quad core + GT 550M)... it's the current model in the market now... but the others won't be too shabby either since GT 540M and GT 550M are essentially the same GPU...
