Hi, I'm planning to get my first laptop and I'm torn between these G53SX-SZ039V - RM3999, N55SF-SX047V - RM3699 & N55SF-S2043V - RM2799. My primary usage is photos editing, gaming and long-hour downloading, so which one should I get? Is the i7 upgrade worth the price?

Asus G series are taylored specifically for gaming, thus the G53 would be the best option, provided you're okay with it being less portable

G53SX-SZ039V Definitely .


Guys , DV6 6001TX or N55SF SX047V ?

need recommendation on new latop

budget : less than 2k

prefer i5 intel gpu

need other option other than Aspire 4755G

thx in advance

no i5 with dedicated gpu for price under 2k except for 4755g, if your usage is gaming, you can also consider

Satellite L745-1050X, i3-2310 + Nvidia GT525M@RM1999[2.14kg], 2nd & 3rd year warranty
Satellite L745-1138X, i3-2330M + Nvidia GT525M@RM2099[2.14kg]
Inspiron 15R, i3-2330M + GT525M@RM1999

need some advice for Asus laptop here,

N43SL (Jay-Chou edition), i5-2410M & N45Sf-V2g-VX013v [black], i5-2410M, both is 14" inches screen plus the price also goes same,feel headaches when i making comparison

Please stay away from N45sf is you're planning to buy right away The GPU problem isn't fixed yet.
If you can wait then hold your horses and see what happens to the N45sf

+1, by right the N45sf is the better and obvious pick... but then since it is experiencing some serious flaws, better avoid.

Better post that on the first post
To be honest I saw many people asking about N43SL or N45sf

Sifus, please recommend...
1. Brand: Asus/ Dell/ Fujitsu/ Lenovo/ Sony/ Toshiba, better if got more warranty
2. Budget: less than 2k
3. Usage: Frequent traveller, watch movie, light office work, browse internet, video call, no gaming, good battery life
4. Size: maximun is 12.1, prefer light weight because user is a lady

I see the above 6 brands specs... but not sure what is the different is actual usage... please also say why is it recommended...

For the above usage... is Android or Windows more suitable? I think Android is still new and Windows is more stable...

What brand is a good external optical drive and how much $$$? Since many of them do not comes together... Thanks.

Hmm, portability plus performance plus battery life:

Dell's Inspiron M102z, AMD E-450 + AMD HD 6320 + (1366x768)@RM1499[1.56kg]
Asus's upcoming Eee PC 1215B, E-450 + AMD HD6320 + (1366x768)@RM1299[1.45kg] -> upcoming

or

11.6"
Fujitsu LifeBook PH521, AMD E-350 + AMD HD6310@RM1689[1.4kg], W7P
Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E120, i3-2357UM + Intel HD3000 + (1366x768)@RM1799 (FreeDOS), RM1999 (W7HP) [1.5kg], 18 months on-site warranty, water resistant keyboard, Colors: Red/Black

The Dell, Asus and Lenovo are worth considering
Since you have the budget, just extend the warranty to 3 years with the remaining money At this moment, Dell offers the best warranty support - onsite

We don't have the llano versions of Dell models as well, as pointed out by lee_what sifu

Added on September 11, 2011, 8:54 pmThe only worthy opponent would be the problematic Asus N45sf
Other (closest) competitors:
Lenovo Y470, i7-2630QM + Nvidia GT550M@RM2999[JBL]
HP Pavilion Dv4, i5-2410M + AMD HD6750@RM2899
Dell Vostro 3450, i5-2430M + AMD HD6630@RM2577, W7HB,backlit keyboard, Belkin HDMI cable, Belkin Radius 15.6" Backpack
Dell Inspiron 14R (N4110), i5-2410M + AMD HD6630@RM2549, 6GB, 640GB, *Big Giant Plaid!Lid

Update: http://www.facebook.com/notes/asus-malaysi...264641600222811
it seems that a solution has been devised. If you can wait, do wait and see whether it works or not. If it works, then just go for the N45Sf

Dear N45SF users,



Good news!

P/s: This new BIOS is different than the previously suggested BIOS 215. The BIOS version shall be revealed prior to the release date.



Thank you for your patience and we apologize for any inconvenience caused.

ASUS Malaysia

Thanks for the update bro, will update the price catalog

Hi there, firstly, thank you for sharing the news.

Where is the source of this news? I can't find it on Asus site. And how do we upgrade BIOS? Just download the thing and run it?


Thanks for enlightening my problem.

Need recommend laptop that better spec than macbook air 2010 11"
brand: any
Price: Less than 2100
Must be light weight
Usage: surfing online, music and movie.
battery life: macbook air can last 11 hours?! is it standby time?

You should be able to get those kind of prices if you bargained at any official retail stores?
Or you could PM devour also and see how much he's willing to sell hehe~

The 2 Aspires are fairly new, so I'm not particularly sure about the battery lives. But should be able to hit 4-5hours I would say. Still not as good as the N43Sl with the BIOS and Nvidia driver updated
