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?

Thanks for all the replies!

The N series looks soo much better, but at the same time I know I'll be damn jealous anytime someone has an i7 if I get the N series lolol.

Damn, I'm so indecisive

Haha I'm using an acer 4736G the C2D one w/ G105M, never give me any problem at ALL.

Is the cooling of the A series really bad? I am going to be using the CoolerMaster U2 whenever I game if that helps.
I wouldn't mind getting the N series but for some reason I really want an i7 LOL.

Ahhh ok wow, didn't know that, different heatsink. Hmm I may just get that instead then

My Fren have the N53SN, I didn't like the buttons on the trackpad, and didn't really like the keyboard all that much. But yea I'll go check it out. The speakers I thought were pretty good though, and it does look a whole lot sexier

Yea I think I'm going A-series with the i7, if I was gonna go i5 I would rather save my $$$ and get the Acer TimelineX

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

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.

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.

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.

Haha I think i'll have to play with all 3 before I drop some $$$. Really dunno which way, if the HP was i7, I would have bought it immediately.
