A43Sv, i5-2410M + Nvidia GT540M(2GB)@RM2599[2.44kg], [6-cell 5200mAH]

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

Both of them have the same price. Which of these is the better choice?

From what I have gathered, N43SL has a better design. But in what way is the design better? Does it provide better heat ventilation? And is the extra 1GB of A43Sv GPU worth it?

For gaming purpose, both of the laptop serve the same performance, but N43SL has some extra point is because of it is premium design plus better speaker compare to A43SL, so if you ask me which one to suggest you, I would definitely say N43SL gets my vote.

1gb 2gb ram wouldn't effect much on gaming experience in real life.

n43sl get my vote but if u want to opt for a43sv, the 1gb vram version should be suffice for gaming on laptop.

+1 to the N43SL as well
1GB/2GB VRAM doesn't make any difference for gaming on the laptop

Do N43SL has USB 3.0?

Unfortunately no. If you would like to have USB 3.0, you may think of Acer 4830TG with around the same price tag.

Why not the Acer 4830tg?
Thinner,longer battery life,USB3.0 Port,similar performance.

N series better the A series, for me.

integrated battery

N43SL!

A43SV. I rather spend the extra money elsewhere and have proper chiclet keys.

In which cases would a 2GB VRAM provide a noticeable result?

When you hook it up to several external monitors with higher resolution.

So?How does that pose a problem?IINM Acer used higher quality Li-Po cells inside it,right?

General concern going around that heat emitted from gaming will eventually increase battery wear faster than normal. Never really bothered bout it personally.

vote for A43.... weeeeewwwiiiittt....plug at plasma tv, u can see it clearer..

If plasma is clearer, LED will be clearest

Iirc, someone once told me that plasma wasn't suitable if you are going to have a static image (like a desktop) as it can get an image burn in.

under which situation, does 2gb vram make a difference, compared to 1gb vram, besides when it's connected to many monitors?

In other words, no difference if you're only gaming on your laptop

Hi,
ACER stands for ALL COMPLETE EVERYTHING REDUCED
do you know what does that mean?

asus leh? ass s*ck*ng uber snakes :snakehead:

should be A Simply Useful Solution that's y all recommend asus..

dell = don't expect long lasting?? http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.aspx?m=447437&mpage=1

^ lol, nice link, good for a laugh

u laugh but i here sad cos my lappy like this..

You can always call Dell what... I just don't understand why you guys won't call them
Since we are not pros (at least I know I'm not), why handle everything ourselves?

i got said dun1 call meh?? i must know what problem b4 i call them ma.. like i call them change heat-sink liau.. now i wan change mobo is serious problem liau.. of cos need do homework.. & explain with dell.. what shit i facing ma.. if i pro no need at here liau.. should be at overseas..

Redundant, you yourself said Dell is good for those who know nuts about IT associated stuffs, yet you wanna do the diagnosis yourself?
If its me, I'll let Dell handle the problem, I'd rather spend my time on something else that matters
Personally I think you have enough "proof" to ask them to help you fix, noneed to dig out more

yup.. i intro dell cos i wanna ppl follow my step ma.. so i wanna sued them more easily.. u also using dell what.. no problem.. me also no problem currently just i worried bout future of my laptop.. u dunno this feel de lah.. when u married got children liau.. u will know how i feel.. bro.. some1 added u notice?? hahahaha~ i din mean dell good or bad lah.. i just said got this issue nia.. i call them change liau but u know policy if u change certain times they will not change again liau.. u get what i mean? if can solve by u guys teach me of cos no need change is better.. cos change will make it worst.. this is what i worried.. like waco..

You married liao meh?
Seriously I don't care, I just buy my laptop for my research, usage and gaming needs... I din't buy my laptop so that I can experience irrational worries everyday
Spend the time on something better, earn more money, make those little problems insignificant
If it spoils, no matter how many times you want to change also can right?

to laptop only.. got child i not sure but sure got.. who know? u may not know.. maybe m'sia or sg or other countries.. if she migrate to other place..
ya.. that is 1 of the reason i pick dell..

Surprised till like that?

If send to shop, they'll probably charge... since they're going to charge, just head over to the manufacturer service centre, safer
I know how you feel, I wouldn't dare try on my new laptop as well. So will try on the older one, once I get the hang of it, then will try on the new one
It'll be good to at least learn some basic skills, might even be able to help other ppl next time

yeah.. you hav a point.. go to the service centre... haha. Fortunately it's not far ..

thx. erm... ngkhanmein, ur lappy still working ok? perhaps wait and see if it worsens?? lolx.

haha. maybe in 1year time when this lappy can almost say old di, then maybe i will giv my itchy hands a try n open it up myself.. lolx,


i destroy whatever i open... jus for curiosity

then please don't disassembled it until you got backup notebook

Do do do. We learn from mistakes

Sure thing sifu haha, if got problems will find you
eh bro, any thermal pastes to recommend? No one recommended me anything
So far I only see Cooler Master thermal paste in stores... nothing else T_____T

Tuniq TX-3/4.
Got fund, IC 7

Many thanks sifu!!
Okay okay, are these available locally? Where to buy? XD XD
any links on the price?
Astria said don't try on those "silver-based" ones, especially for noobs like me haha... are the ones you recommended silver-based?
Sorry noob here haha

Tuniq TX4 performance they say can rival IC Diamond.

So spend like RM30 for some cheap but power thermal paste.

I see, so I can get this at LYP bro?

LYP only has TX-2. I think you need to contact lingloong to get the TX-4. I recommend either TX-2 or 4 since 3 is a pain in the ass to apply because it's too darn viscous.

walao eh... how about TX4? Easy to apply? I'm noob ar... cannot try too viscous ones
Alright will find lingloong haha, thanks for the recommendation yo

TX-4 apparently is very much easier to apply, great for beginners. I haven't tried yet since I still have half a tube of TX-3 left unused.

Okay, good to hear bro, thanks!
