Still aiming for the 1215B. The U41SV is a last resort. I personally don't trust HP that much. I remember going to my ex's place every other week to fix her HP notebook. I don't mind settling for a slightly lower performing model because mainly:

1. I can prolly OC the GT540M to GT550M levels.
2. I want a longer battery life.
3. Super Hybrid Engine's OC is amazingly powerful!
*
But the 1215B and Asus U41Sv seemed rather different? How to OC if you choose the 1215B? hmm.gif
I have a noob question, Super Hybrid Engine is sort of like Toshiba's Eco Utility for saving battery right? How do you guys OC? OC what? shocking.gif

If 1215B then I just leave it lo. SHE will OC a bit gua.

SHE also has a high performance mode. On it, depending on the model, you can get up to a 15% increase in bus speed.

Low 40s, possible with the i5 SB. But since the i7 has 4 physical cores, more heat is produced.

Oh I see, SHE is available in all models? hmm.gif
Seems pretty good... Usually other programs like this only let us choose between battery-saving/performance (normal) mode lol laugh.gif

And my reasoning is like this:

If I get 1215B, then I keep the A42JV.

Else, get rid of A42JV and get U41SV only.

I guess its okay, in fact its doing quite well for a 14". But do take note that environmental temperatures and usage of coolers may affect the reliability of the results (http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1769108&view=findpost&p=41573353)

The competition gets more and more intensive....
In between the 4830Tg, A43Sv, N43SL, which one would you choose? brows.gif
If you've higher budget, then its rather straightforward - HP DV4 laugh.gif

Yeah me too... never really heard anyone brag or boast about their HPs hmm.gif
But now we have the HP Dm1z, Dv6 and this.. lets wait and see where this goes hehe~
Well, the GPU in the Dv4 is on par with the GT550M, so the difference is rather big compared to the GT540m in the 4830Tg, A43Sv etc. Processor has got little or nothing to do with gaming performance nod.gif

its official now that both A43 and N43 will be price the same at RM 2699

which is disappointing... all A43 N53 N43 A53 is price at RM 2699!!

you can view their latest price guide

http://event.asus.com/my/2011/productguide/PG_May_April.pdf

what would you choose ?? I still cant decide whether N series or A series..

there is no FULL HD LCD option unlike Dell XPS15... there is no USB 3.0 support..

I hate to get stuck in this scenario..

Can see how lazy they are, i think they just copy and paste the N43 and N53 specs... cause i think no way the N43 with I5 can support up to 16gb of ram!!!

Which is more superior ??

What will you guys recommend to upgrade to 8GB ram... just buy at any outlet and plug it in ?? will there be incompatibility ??

I saw a post somewhere here that the RAM clashes and it wont boot...

I will choose better quality, anytime, even if it means sacrificing some performance (which we most probably won't need for this case)...
The SB i7 is overkill for most people, and since it virtually has no effect on gaming performance, why get one? The heat generated will only hurt the laptop sad.gif
