Big thanks to everyone here who recommended me laptop, specially to PF T.J. for telling N43SL can last 6 hours (it lasted 6.5 hours just now). Special thanks to lee_what2004 for telling me about touchpad issue. Just reinstalled touchpad driver and got everything fix.  thumbup.gif

u got n43sl???? ok mah????? zzzz.... ytd i decided a4sv i7... but at night keep rolling on bed... cant slp... thinking n43sl....dang..... doh.gif

QUOTE(mindman @ Jul 23 2011, 04:36 AM)
Hi Ivan,

I have purchased A43sj during notebook fair at digital mall 2 weeks ago, still not sure if i made the right decision, that day All IT even offer free deskjet with 4750G,somemore 4750G have usb 3.0 and 3 years warranty, not to mention free yes dongle, antivirus etc, furhtermore 4750g got optimus but not a43 right?

The only saving grace is that Asus is said to have better build, what is your take on this, if you were to purchase now (4750g no free printer d), would you go for A43 or 4750g?
*
haha.... i would go for a43sj still.... because of it's warranty that i is stated pickupnreuturn... haha

also.. i find the a43sj build solidity ok(cooling i din see b4 la...)... my current lappy is an aspire.... din giv me anyn problem except overheating when i din clean tongue.gif ... so im nt biased greatly.. lolx.... usb 3.0 is effects only can be seen when ur tranfering large files(such as backups)... lolx... if got it's a plus... if dun have aso wun die....

all notebooks are almost the same nowadays... depends which design u could face and like for the next few years. lolx.... dun regret la...
love it and take care of it n it will serve u well for a couple of years, or till ur next change of lappy. lolx

they are all brand new  nod.gif cuz it came with the receipt.. they keep telling me maybe it was just me so unlucky every time also given a problematic unit  vmad.gif
but i think i'll go and get a N53SV if u guys think that will be sufficient for my need  icon_rolleyes.gif  after all, i am really not good with tech thingy...all i hope is just no more lag and hang and freeze when doing graphic work   blush.gif

haha...then maybe it's all just badluck.... lolx..

if im nt wrng.. u using photoshop... illustrator.. maya too??? lolx.. these stuff benefit frm i7 quad cores... render will be faster...



n53sv... er..... gt some bad news if ur going for the i7 version...

it's EOLed.. end of line.... end of production... next month they will usher in new model. n53sf...

n53sv if u still want thr might be leftover stocks at shops.. lolx...(dun think old lappy is bad lappy... it's specs still ok ah), but the n53sf has a stronger graphic card... waaay stronger.... bout 30% stronger i reckon...

the downside is... it's not as sexy as the n53sv....

ur choice. ^^

edit:

add one more thing... bout the n53sf... official news takda... so dun take my word 100%.. just rumours... we all waiting for official news.. lolx

Erm..actually I did consider hp pavilion DV4..but doubting about HP quality..no recommandation for Acer??i just saw 4830..it's not bad i feel
*
haha u want highest gpu mah.. haha

4830tg is overall a very gud lappy.. just some minus points in.

integrated battery.. if game alot.. heat will wear down the battery faster... since u got no option to take it out when u game...(but if u normally aso wun take out. then it's no prob. haha)

generally... as fellow forumer that giv opinion..

i will say that brand does nt = to quality lappy.... all hav problems one...
general consensus is all brands had improved... especially acer... last time rili sucks.. now they do make decent lappy like the 4830tg..

in order of importance
1)specs
2)aftersales
3)design
n lastly..
4)do i like that brand...




but if personally....

i ha a preference for acer n asus.... cz i using an acer now... din kacau me much in this 2 years. laugh.gif

Thanks,i heard i3 performs really bad.I haven't tried i3,had i5 and i7 before.
Just Everyday usage and some casual light games such as online games as i plan to get an xbox for gaming.
Is Dell Vostro a good recommendation? i thought it caters for small businesses?
I need portability and juice to keep it pumping as well.Thanks again.
*
i3.. is i3.. lolx... it's i5.. minus the turbo boost... and some other stuff... lolx .
eheh.. u din say u wan juice and portability... doh.gif

vostro can be ... heavier iirc.... has been long time since i touched one.. lolx.. suggested it over inspiron because.... better quality.. as in... feels more sturdy... inspiron is very cheap/... but when i touched it.. gt this feel of wanna fall into a million pieces.. lolx..

get i5.... i3 ''could'' do the stuff u want.. but i3jump to i5 is nt much price wise.... it's the jump to i7 that is $$$. lolx..

u want longer battery life. then the asus a43sj is out.. dun hav optimus.. (though it has a sturdy build.. ur choice)

take the aspire.. lolx..... and then if u can afford.. extend warranty to 3 years.. haha.. for peace of mind.. ^^, asus hav default 2 years warranty no need extend. haha

Okay guys,I'm looking for a new laptop and my budget is less than RM2000.After searching,i found this spec which is within my budget.

Dell Inspiron N4050-24251G i5-2410m
- Intel Core i5 2410M Processor
- 2GB DDR3 RAM
- 500GB SATA HDD
- DELL CRYSTAL WXGA 14” HD LED
- ATI HD 6470 1GB Graphic Card
- Bluetooth- WiFi
- Webcam- 5-in-1 Card Reader
- DVD/CD-Writer
- 6 Cell Battery
- 2.3KG- 3 USB Ports


I plan to upgrade the ram to 4GB.Is this good enough for Photoshop/mild gaming(not those Crysis etc)?What do you think?
*
yea.. upgrade the ram... 2gb is too little.... expecially photoshop... doh.gif eat ram... lolx...
