If strictly these 3 models: My vote goes to the all rounder- Asus N43SL hehe
 15 inchers are bulky... weight isn't a problem for guys haha Or TS you can consider what astria sifu recommended, HP DV4 + 3 years international warranty... but might exceed your budget abit I'm afraid  This post has been edited by [PF] T.J.: Jun 16 2011, 02:18 PM |

QUOTE(Hamster X @ Jun 16 2011, 02:18 PM) Then why the gpu downgrade? The specs of the upcoming N53Sv is still very unclear... need to wait for the latest Asus brochure only can confirm I was unsure about buying anything but Asus cause I want this laptop to last at least a good 2 years (hopefully 4) with every day use, and the only brand I know that's known for reliability is Asus. How bad really is the fact that it's "Bulky"? It's not like it will be bigger than my tables right?  |

Its not really easy to carry around (without knocking it accidentally all the time lol), especially if you travel alot I was unsure about buying anything but Asus cause I want this laptop to last at least a good 2 years (hopefully 4) with every day use, and the only brand I know that's known for reliability is Asus.

QUOTE(Hamster X @ Jun 16 2011, 02:21 PM) Ah so it's different from the current N53SV? The new N53Sv is claimed to be the replacement for the just EOL-ed N53Sn When would it be coming out? I'll have to have my new laptop before August. Some say it has i7-2630QM + Nvidia GT540m (downgrade), some say it comes with Full HD, some says it has Blu-Ray, hell some even say N53Sn is still around with Full HD  |

QUOTE(Hamster X @ Jun 16 2011, 02:44 PM) Would the new N53SV be out before August? I think its possible, but try not to have too high expectations because the specs may not be the one you desire  HP has just introduced their new llano laptop lineups, you can consider those as well |

QUOTE(kisamesama @ Jun 26 2011, 08:12 PM) why is the N43SL seemed to be most preferred model? it's GPU has less RAM than the A43SV and A43SV is cheaper too... why is it cheaper actually?? seems like better specs in A42SV.. is it because there's no nvidia optimus enabled in it? As mentioned earlier, don't be fooled by the amount of VRAM a GPU has, more doesn't mean its better. The N43SL is better because its an N series (premium) laptop, whereas A43Sv is an A series (budge) laptop. Though the built of the A series has increased significantly throughout the years, the internal components and design might still be different. The N43Sl should have better cooling apart from the premium speakers -> which more or less explains the relatively heavier weight So far there's still no professional review on both models, so its hard to see the differences |

QUOTE(kisamesama @ Jun 26 2011, 09:39 PM) yup haven't found reviews on these Actually there are reviews, but on N53Sn and K53Sv (K = A): .. does the optimus really improve battery and temp significantly... can't i just underclock the gt 540 when i am not doing any gaming? I am doing it on my desktop computer with my radeon 4870HD mainly to reduce noise and temp.N53Sn: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Asus-N...ok.52431.0.html K53Sv: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Asus-K...ok.56057.0.html Since the specs are not exactly similar, its not a very accurate reference Nvidia Optimus should be able to squeeze out another 0.5-1 hour? Just a guess though |
