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?

yup haven't found reviews on these sad.gif .. 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.

Actually there are reviews, but on N53Sn and K53Sv (K = A):
N53Sn:

K53Sv:

Since the specs are not exactly similar, its not a very accurate reference  sad.gif
Nvidia Optimus should be able to squeeze out another 0.5-1 hour? Just a guess though  hmm.gif

if it's only a gain of about 1hr that's not really a big deal imo

would mainly use laptop on battery when on trip abroad (once a year) .. mainly to check/send mails and some light browsing... 4hrs shud be ok i think..but never owned a laptop actually so i don't really know lol.... at worse i can get a spare emergency battery just in case or use my htc desire for browsing lol

p.s. what's the average battery life of U41SV?

how much difference does the 2gb ram found in the GT540 for the A43SV provides as compared to the 1gb ram found in the N43SL pr U41SV?
