Well firstly i5 would definitely run cooler since it's a dual core..
Depends on what programs you use, i7 would definitely have a upperhand especially on Photoshop or engineering programs which require Multi cores..
Some games but minority benefits a lot more from stronger CPU too such as GTA IV
In terms of resale value, IMO should be quite similar since laptops refreshes like drinking water..
If both priced the same, it's a matter of better speakers/build quality on N series or better CPU on A43Sv.. If your main priority is gaming then go for quadcore of course, more is always better..
Cleaning, not very sure but I seen n53 series seems accessible from bottom cover.. My a42jv needed to open the whole thing to apply thermal paste lol..

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

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

For that price, you could get much better audiophile headgears than Beats... Beats sells for the branding and design, hence the premium price...
