Hi. I am thinking to get Asus A series. The model i am considering:

A43SA-VX038V (i5 2430M + AMD Radeon 6730M)
A43SV-VX203V (i5 2430M + NV GT 540m)

According to salesperson, there is no Optimus feature for A43SV model. Is there any similar feature for A43SA?

Thanks.

In that case, between 6730m and gt540m, using which GPU the battery will last longer and less overheat?

Salespersons LY mostly say GT540m better
My google finding says 6730m.

There is one asus salesperson he told me to go for GT540m

He used previous asus model with 5730m to play games Call of Duty. He can feel the heat start at the keyboard.

Then he play the same game on the asus model with GT540m. There are fan noise and can feel the heat coming out from heat sink. But the laptop will not feel as hot as the one with 5730m.

Conversely, there is a sifu say that in consensus most pro will say ati 6xxxm series is cooler than gt5xx series. In fact most sifu on forum say 6730m is better.

......confuse........

So how does 5650 perform? so far so good? Will it get too hot easily?

Just read through a website in china.

They review the Asus laptop with GPU 540M and 5730m

They use software to tell the CPU, GPU and HDD temperature. Besides they also use Fluke heat camera to measure the keyboard temperature.

Here's the part i am not understand:
The software result shows that 6730m has lower temperature. But using the Fluke heat camera it shows that laptop has the heat more "concentrated".

Why is that happen?

540m : http://nb.zol.com.cn/221/2219933.html
5730m: http://nb.zol.com.cn/201/2010104.html

emm so if to compare fairly, i should compare laptop model GT335m to 5730m.

in this case, 5730m win.........?

thus if laptop model gt540m vs 6730m, 6730m better?

Hi. I want to buy the model A43SV - VX203V.

I heard some people selling recond asus laptop. Is it true?

How to know that the laptop is recond? How to ensure that asus laptop is genuine or new laptop?

Thanks.

Just bought A series. The reseller tell me to burn recovery disk, 25GB which requires 6 DVD disks.

In asus there is a software to help you to burn the recovery disk. Can i just create the recovery image and store into my external hard disk, instead of burning DVD disk? If can, how?

Thanks.
