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...

hi sifu~~
just want to get more info, not to quote you or what (come in peace icon_rolleyes.gif )
i thought that acer 4830TG can be take off the battery hmm.gif
saw it from this website http://acer.it168.com/thread-1477437-1-1.html
although it seem to be quite complicated

Open device manager, see under Display Adapter, should have Intel HD and nVidia..

as long got Intel HD and nVidia then confirm is optimus right?
then how to know optimus functioning correctly?
and how to check HDD is WD or Seagate? cause i use HWMonitor 1.17 but didn't show it out...

Again, check on Device Manager, under Disk Drives, if its begin with ST, its Seagate, WD is Western Digital..

1) What drivers to update?? can give more clearly explanation on this? tongue.gif
2) Delete all bloatwares?
3) I see the user's manual, "using the recovery partition by pressing F9 during bootup" is reformat to factory default right? but there are 3 choices of partition option: recover windows to first partition only, recover windows to entire HD, and recover windoes to entire HD with two partitions... what is better or should choose? it wont delete the backup partition right? cause i see Computer only got OS © and D partition and can't find any backup partition

TZ00 is juz the name of a sensor on the mobo...

1) really depends on u... most ppl dun even bother... even if they do, probably only the GPU...
2) those Asus programs that u'll probably never use in the whole life span of the laptop... laugh.gif i only kept Power4Gear Hybrid... the rest all deleted on the first day...

1) owhh... but why the HWMonitor do not have HDD temperature? is weird

Its normal, don't force shut down !!!
Based on my experience with Toshiba, the repeated laptop restarts is because of driver installations 
LOL, I remembered a few friends of mine force shutdown their laptops during the process 
*
owhhh... but it restarted more than 15 times...
im so worry about it thought it sot (crazy) already

before factory default, (last 2 days) when im installing avast free edition, it suddenly hang (mouse and everything can't function/move)
waited around 10 mins still can't function and I force shutdown by pressing the power button

then after that, (yesterday) when im uninstalling the junk softwares (games etc), after that avast suddenly can't function properly
can't even uninstall and install it back....

that's why (today) i reformat to factory default... then after format, face this multiple restart which make me so worry sweat.gif

hopefully after that, it function well ba whistling.gif

Hi,

I'm thinking of getting the N43SL. Any feedbacks on that? BTW, how are those B&O speakers?

QUOTE(FlamingR @ May 10 2011, 06:20 PM)
Basically you'll have to wait until June to get the stock, I gave up waiting N43 and bought myself an A43SV a few days ago, no B & O on this model so I can't tell. But from what I heard it is good on classic songs(not low bass type)?
*



errr, can go and have a look at digital mall or lowyat plaza
blacklist d-fusion, the SA try to cheat me @ RM2580 without freegifts (NAH!!! thought im stupid with the pricing tongue.gif)
B&O speakers seem loud, not yet really try it yet... only try with the songs originally from the laptop
but as PF TJ says, lost to harman/kardon and JBL
but i still love my laptop wub.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, A53, N53 and N43SL have right?  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

but in the end, i opt for new clean install of win 7 ultimate. (am burning the boot disc now tongue.gif)

i bought for 2580 with rm20 logitech mouse and rm 25 Thermalmaster c1 bundled.
Im pretty sure i can get it lower, but my dad was in a hurry yesterday.  only manage to get 2580.
O well, its his credit card anyway. LOL
