A43Sj is better than K43U, both in terms of CPU and GPU, and it comes in pink as well (*assuming girls like pink) haha  laugh.gif
The K43U is better if compared to Atom-based netbooks and Arrandale notebooks with Intel HD graphics only unfortunately  sad.gif

hmm.gif I guess every guy would define a girl differently laugh.gif
The first thing that came to my mind is that girls hate cables, and would like much longer battery life tongue.gif
Thanks for the correction too btw

As bro JYong stated, but on the Apple part is depending on what field your assignments are
PowerPoint other Office-related stuff are with Google Docs, iWork and such
If it's for engineering field... I'm trying to find out too hmm.gif But there is BootCamp, just a little complex.
Also it'll take some time for a Windows user to migrate to Apple no matter how much you like it.

BTW, bro Bruceleestore is selling the MBP 13" i5 version for only RM3250 nod.gif

Apple laptop is ok for a student, but it's too expensive sweat.gif unless you're rich then nothing i can say~but the beauty and elegance of MacBook is indisputable rclxms.gif
Let's compare~
Apple MBP 13-inch: 2.3 GHz
2.3GHz dual-core
Intel Core i5
4GB 1333MHz
320GB 5400-rpm1
Intel HD Graphics 3000
Built-in battery (7 hours)2
@RM3250
Asus A43Sv, i5-2410M + Nvidia GT540M(2GB)@RM2599, [6-cell 5200mAH]
see the different of the prices? Apple products are expensive sweat.gif

You have to look at the way that you entered the exquisite OS X laugh.gif
A lot of patented stuff are only available on the OS X, like Expose, Spaces, GarageBand, iMovie, etc
Seriously might not be for everyone and takes some time to get used to the OS X.

Calculating problem~1024bytesx1024x1024=1GB/1,073,741,824bytes...for example, a HDD stated 80GB, the 80GB stand for 80,000,000,000bytes. But in computing, 80GB=80x1,073,741,824bytes=85,899,345,920bytes. So 85,899,345,920bytes-80,000,000,000bytes =5,899,345,920bytes. Window will show 80,000,000,000bytes-5,899,345,920bytes=74,100,654,080bytes..hope you understand=.="

Yupe, I understand
This calculation problem doesn't exist on Mac OS X
Also, I like how they prioritize the files copying/moving speed.
First come first serve, later ones are just suspended

Mean it just show 80,000,000,000bytes as 80GB tongue.gif not so complicated for users~anyway, Mac OS is easy to use i think hmm.gif at least user-friendly? laugh.gif


Added on May 16, 2011, 1:41 amWhat the heck happen on Ubuntu? Downloading it but the speed only 10kbps? www.OMG.com

Still depends on which OS you started off hmm.gif
Starting off with OS X will say that OS X is the easiest to use, and same goes to Windows users
Though migration of Windows to OS X is far more than migration of OS X to Windows (Which I think is zero)
The other day I downloaded Ubuntu and it was booming fast hmm.gif

was thinking about it, but the delivery and the warranty period to send back to the supplier takes time. (if anything happens-lah)

If you always need a laptop to do stuffs, then I suggest getting a Mac for the warranty

I saw that model in LYP the other day, rock solid and comfortable as ever.
It's very worth getting the G470 i5-2410M + Intel HD3000 variant

If you want a 14" i7 laptop, the Lenovo V470 (I think I got that right) is quite okay too. Brush aluminium finish
