Asus N43SL, i5-2410M + Nvidia GT540M@RM2599[2.4kg][Bang & Olufsen]

Asus U41Sv, i5-2410M + Nvidia GT540M@RM2899[2.14kg]
(don't have USB 3.0 port) =.="

For asus only i7 / 15'6 model having 3.0 usb port

Acer TimelineX 4830TG, i5-2410M + GT540M@RM2499[2.2kg]
(Yes, having stock)

Y470, i7-2630QM + Nvidia GT550M@RM2999[JBL]
(No Stock, Coming Soon)

So, i just can consider Acer & Y470. But if i wait for Y470, don't know when will be arrival. haiz.....

Wow, grats on your purchase!  rclxms.gif
I guess you're the 1st one here hehe~
Mind sharing a review  notworthy.gif

What do you mean "how to switch it on"?
Nvidia Optimus will do that for you... and isn't there a manual switch as well?  hmm.gif

Yes, there is a manual button to swith the GPU on/off & also the software will auto swith the graphic.
but i don't know how to test for the memory, after i switch on the graphic it is anywhere to check the memory use?
