Ok so finally both of these laptops are out!

Unfortunately, there isn't a 14 inch N-Series i7 SB laptop available otherwise this wouldn't be a problem. So I call on you, help me decide!
I will be using it for gaming, for the most part.

I realize between gaming there isn't much difference between i5 and i7, but could there be a couple of months down the line?
How much difference will I see in everyday use between the i7 and the i5?
Will an A-Series with and i7 have more or less resale value than an N-Series with i5?
Besides being pretty, does the design of the N-Series have any functional uses?
Which one has an easier to open case so that I can actually clean it myself ?
What would you do?

what about the HP DV4? That seems to have a much better Video card

They improved and changed the touchpad for the new dv6 though, I think dv4 should be new one as well?

The heat management since the SB issue dv6 was quite fine already.. Let's just see how the 14 inch one performs

Well I doubt M14x/N43SN will be in the under 3K range and have a better processor. Damn so many options... Is the dv4 available already in Malaysia? I think I'll go pyramid and go check all of them out.

Awww, wow the prices on the sticky seem to be throwing me off when did the DV6-6001TX become 3300? Wow.

Someone say it's lower if no beats headphones? Crazy.

I thought the price rm3.3k is without Beats Headphone ??

Good headphones? HAHA 'good' is as far as it gets.. Go to audiophile section you would see everyone bashing about it lol... For that price, you could get much better audiophile headgears than Beats... Beats sells for the branding and design, hence the premium price...

Beats... overpowered bass and lots of it to compensate for its lack of competence in the other departments.

been looking at the 6750 in the hp dv4 ... wow...

Now have to decide between A43SV, N43SL, and HP DV4 ... and all in my budget  under 3k .....

I only care about gaming performance and nothing else.

I only specialize in hardware, gaming, and some audio.

I love food and music lol, and also tech stuffs an some photography.. You can see from my sig what haha

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!

Penang, only been there once before! Didn't really get to eat a lot also.. KK also got a lot of nice food lar! Haha

My camera is Sony NEX-3.. Lol Omg, those photos are really shit la, And I haven't updated the blog for ages Coz too busy.. I just started taking pics in Raw format few months ago so if I ever update the blog, the photos should be much nicer lol..

my a43sv at idle is bout 45-50 degrees with cooler. Is that normal for the i7 sb?

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.

ah...so my temps considered ok la? 

Not available on all models. SHE only available on U, UL and Eee series.

OMG just checked the price list, N43SL is 2599?! I fear if I dont buy something soon I'll never end up buying a laptop haha

Haha really? It's not even i7! I worry about buying HP laptops, I've never had one myself, but I can't remember them every being all that great.

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

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 just got my N43SL today. I can really assure you that the B&O speakers are fantastic to my ears. I would suggest to get the N43SL instead of the A43SV i7 because of the build quality and the speakers are much better.

Haha bro, yes it comes with it. I don't really know what's its use thought

Ah ic. I just read about that. I wonder what is the best cooling pad for 14" laptop under RM100?
