True, but sometimes, specs differ from market to market. Actually the hybrid drive wouldn't cost that much either. Its price dropped some amount already since release.

Is 1080p really that noticeable on a 15.6" screen? lol

So is it a good idea to buy the N53SV laptop this month?

You might want to wait for another month or two

why my n53sn cnt play hon...the open beta in flying spaghetti monster...i jus dled installed then it say crash >.<

So it is around august?

Hi guys im thinking of getting a N43SL . Any thoughts on this laptop? And where should i go in LYP to get it and what possible freebiez could i get out of it? I read awhile back someone got the ram upgraded to 8gb @.@ but i dont need that much i think. is it possible to get them to up the drive to SSD?

Question is - can you wait? New models shld be out this month or the next cycle is in 3 months

Nvr tried that game before..could be download corrupted

There are a few users here using N43SL. You might want to approach them And btw, if you're using core i7, it's recommended you get it to 8GB RAM. It's not because you need it or not, is to maximize your swapping memory and page file utilization. Otherwise your core i7 is just sitting there doing nuts.

N43SL runs on i5-2410m

i thought N43SL is i5??
N43SL, i5-2410M + Nvidia GT540M@RM2599[2.4kg][Bang & Olufsen]


Or issit got option to upgrade to i7?

Planning to get this laptop for my sis as well
Tried it out personally and I think its quite good~ So far most of the complaints on Asus are software-related, which is quite easy to fix hehe~
Neh, unless you're using a lot of Photoshop etc., 8gb is really too much... 4GB will be more than sufficient for your usage.
As for upgrading to SSD, I don't think you can as Asus laptops are not customizable here. You can always change yourself, but make sure that there's no stickers that will get in the way 1st before you start (usually dun have la ); if not, you'll void your warranty.

lol i think thats me.i dont think can change to SSD

the main problem is the software,a lot of bloatware and uninstalling some bloatware can muck up the entire system

u sure bro? isnt ssd is compatible with any notebook?

ssd can 1 lar... juz equip with the ssd mounter 4 2.5 hdd drive.. then can work.. very easy.. ebay pun ada jual..

any1 used beoplayer and noticed some extra songs in the playlist?? somehow they sound quite nice on our speakers~ maybe cuz they r high bitrates songs compared to our 320 kbps pirated ones..

haha technology waits for no man/women. u get something this week and next week something new comes.

Not quite.. those who crazy ones who w8ted 4 the sn's launch on january are the ones who w8ted for technology to be launched~
Bravo for SN users patience of 3-4 months...esp with out of stock, cougar point and EOL crap that are issued to us..

Asus N43Sn still not out over here leh haha

if your laptop comes with Core i7, then only got 8GB

I feel like getting a core i5..lol

didn't know n53 users have to wait that long.

for me i chose n53sv because it was the right budget, spec and design for me at that time i want to purchase a new laptop. i didn't wait for it or anything.

i told myself i was getting a laptop 'that weekend' and i went ahead and bought one
