So it is better to buy in this order:
a) N53SN modal.
b) N53SV modal.

modal or model?     yup... or
a) N53sn/dv6
b) N53sv

simon where u from actualy? dv6 not pretty de... round round look like girlish

I'm really thinking of switching back to Kaspersky/MSE from the Trend Micro Internet Security...

Always delete my crack files WITHOUT asking my permission!!!   

go for it!!! dun hesitate dy!!! wait for ur good news again

WOW O.O 3!!!

Your choice   lol KL ppl str8 away buy liao.

Your class start in September rite?

Already cannot wait is it? 

Hehehe... it is all up to you actually... If you really need it as of at this moment, then go ahead...

But if you are willing to wait and sacrifice the SN(EOL) now, its your choice too... 

I bought my A42JA for about RM3.5K... about 2-3 months after that, it dropped to RM3K only.... 

Just go for the SV and GT540M then

Actually in April ASUS website quote that there was a mistake on the pricing for N53SN and the actual price should be RM3499, so agreed that most probably EOLined is due to low margin......

Between, N53SN really like selling hot cake even after EOL, I only left 2 days for the thread and now it become 51 pages.....wow

Not hard to handle, cause the SV is new. And SN is EOL. You scared to buy EOL product right? 
Exactly the point Good + affordable model = EOL 

Happy for you!

300usd? wow.

i already ask the shop email service, they did not reply to my question regarding their phone number. can you please do check since you're in miri? please please please  

Yeah i agreed, actually i was doing research for 5750G and Y560p initially, but N53SN v1 thread distracted me and end up i engaged with N53SN.....haha. I think that was the best value lappy for that time and i like the metal finishing compared to 5750G

oh yeah my lappy currently occupied with 8GB ram, will there be any improvement in performance/start up if i upgrade to 12GB?

Although you might think its a bit wasteful to upgrade to 12GB but since the RAM is so cheap and newer application keep eating more resources, who knows what will happen after 2~3 years?

simon you are from miri right? last month i went to bintang plaza, i saw several shop still got N53SN, so fast sold out already? i thought mirian not heng N53SN....

Hmm....i never expect myself to be identified as 'lucky' person to get it haha.....anyway if u willing to wait there will be new model with greater spec to come out in 1~2 months i guess.....things is if u willing to wait

newer model??? your talking bout the ugly N55SF right???

It could be any model besides N55SF haha....I have no idea what is that model but i just browse thru N55SF, spec wise the graphic card GT555 looks tempting.....but definitely not for design wise.....

asus n53sn gt 5 unit le..... i go there by myself jz nw.... ahahaha... include display gt 6 unit....

Where is this place you are talking about ah?

I am dying for one ler

i go direct to asus distributor de...
the number u call not asus service centre.....

   
more than 60secs means it's not normal.......

i would say 30-60 secs considered normal. 1-29 secs is dam fast. Above 60secs means you have to do something with your system
