Added on May 10, 2011, 10:31 pmQUOTE(PF T.J. @ May 10 2011, 10:27 PM) If need to buy in a hurry, then there's only the Asus A43Sv i5-2410M + Nvidia GT540M (1GB)@RM2399 If you ask me, I would recommend saving more money, to go for the better N43SL, i5-2410M + Nvidia GT540M@RM2599[Bang & Olufsen] instead  +1 to this recommendation. Good enough for most usage now. This post has been edited by AlexLai: May 10 2011, 10:31 PM |

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ May 11 2011, 09:37 PM) Asus N43SL or Asus N53Sv Whether the 14 incher of 15 incher depends on whether you want portability or a larger screen The B&O speakers would be great for entertainment, but the discrete GPU would be overkill Can always use the discrete GPU to contribute to F@H. |

QUOTE(Koki @ May 12 2011, 02:17 AM) Anyone here actually is going to college very soon but wants to go laptop-less for some time while waiting for new AMD Llano-based laptops?  Just do it bro! I went to college laptop-less for over 4 months once, just because I was waiting for the A42JV lulz. |

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ May 12 2011, 12:14 PM) Wow, I din't know that haha But you ended up with the best Rm2.5k laptop at that time  At first was thinking of getting an A42Jr, but it was EOLed and replaced with the A42JK which had a weaker GPU, so I waited. When I almost given up hope and decided to get the JK, the JV showed up but it was retailing for RM3.3k. So I waited a bit more for PC Fair and compared pricing from the other forumites and found out that they were throwing price for that model so decided to get it before stock habis.  In the end, I picked up the last unit in LYP. |

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ May 12 2011, 12:27 PM) You're damn lucky bro haha~ And I think you purchased at the best time as well I remembered how the Asus A42Jv embarrassed a damn lot of other laptops (including the M11x and my Qosmio F60) during that time with its spectacular specs My crowning glory is having the only laptop in college <15" that is capable of playing anything (until 2 months ago that is). I was playing Crysis 2 in my program common room and everyone was in awe. |

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ May 14 2011, 04:35 PM) Now it all comes down to pricing.... the previous Adamo XPS was too expensive even for something as unique, slim and light as that  In the US, the Adamo XPS was crazily cheap when they were on clearance sale. Iirc, $799? Oh, and I found an N43JM sitting in AllIT, Ikano Power.  |

Do take note that the GT680R, Asus G53SW and VX7 are quite bulky but not as heavy as they seem.

QUOTE(Newgen @ May 19 2011, 03:52 PM) Now AMD-C50 seems to be everywhere and seems to be doing well! Any reviews so far? Any users here??? Just as powerful as an Atom based system in terms of processing power but the HD6250 beats Atom's IGP flat out. Battery life is still very good though. |

If it's in the brochure, 90% of the time it will have it.

QUOTE(xplay88 @ May 26 2011, 07:56 PM) its better i topup abit 300 and i get that A43SJ..and i bet that lapy will have lots of bloatware rite...is there any user facing any prob with that lapy... Well, you can't really run from bloatware. The manufacturers get paid for every piece of bloatware they install by the companies providing the bloat. QUOTE(pandera999 @ May 26 2011, 08:05 PM) if you plan buy A43E, make sure install w7 64bit, if not, the hot key not fcning well. cz i jz face it.  A43SJ, so far... no prob... no review from the user. guess, its ok. new SB lappy bro  I did make a mini review about it in the Combined thread. Mostly regarding the temps and performance since the rest is basically a complete clone of the A43SV. |

N55SF, not my cup of tea. Looks like Asus is going for pseudo-unibody construction now.
If they changed the keyboard and made a 14" version, that would pique my interest.

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Jun 1 2011, 10:02 PM) Its not like Asus to just offer N5X and N7X... I'm sure there'll be a 14 incher as well  13" would be a confirm buy for me. Then I can go rub it in the face of the Mac boys. QUOTE(simon3041 @ Jun 1 2011, 10:02 PM) =x I prefer 15.6".. Hmmm.. Btw, N53SN/ SV 's design is better... Can't say I like the N53 design that much. |

QUOTE(tekplyrX @ Jun 9 2011, 09:12 PM) Hi guys, Does anyone know a laptop that fit these specs? < rm3000 14" screen, at least a GT540m gfx card with 1gb dedicated ram, less than one inch thick, lightweight, multitouch pad, chiclet keys dvd drive at least 1 usb 3.0 port asus u41sv actually fits everything except the usb 3.0. asus says its optional on their website but I searched all of lowyat today and couldn't find one so i'm starting to think optional means not available at all? It's optional means available in different SKUs. Just that the Malaysian model doesn't have it. |

It's nice to have but honestly, I would prefer to not have Optimus. Don't need to meddle the system in case of any incompatibility issues and such.

Not really that short either..
3-4 hours with just web browsing is possible due to the larger capacity battery they stuck in.
Btw, have you tried the beta version?
