Asus G53, Alienware m14x

Thanks for your reply

umm correct me if im wrong(didnt do any check on this) g53 use gtx 560m right? and m14x use gt 555m?

which is better? are both come with optimus?

again..correct me if im wrong. thx

Yes that's correct.

The GTX560M is still better than the GT555M by about 20%. Do bear in mind that this version of the GTX560M in the G53SX is a crippled version of the GPU with a 128-bit bus compared to the 192-bit bus found in the normal version.

GPUs with GTX don't have Optimus, only the ones starting with GT does.

Tis optimus for wat? Sorry me n00b....

optimus for swapable graphics... so that u can decrease power usage ... more baterry life

Thanks for your reply

for me..(my personal experience with gt 520m the lowest 5series,too much stuttering) optimus kinda fail. but idk if it was only happened to me,bad luck for me.

U mentioned that the gtx560m in g53sx comes in 128-bit, what about the gt 555m in m14x ?

The GT555m [type B1] in the m14x is the top among all the other GT555ms
But then cannot compare with GTX560m la, its a totally different level already haha

Thanks for your reply

Im not really good with these stuff
from other replies..would it better if i choose G53 instead of m14x?

Based on your requirements, its seems like you're more concerned with gaming performance rather than portability. Hence the G53 would be the better pick by a huge margin compared to the M14x

Thanks

hi..im back again...i want to ask some more...

preferred brand : anything reliable
budget : around 1.2k
usage : office, internet surfing and light gaming like zuma or anything like that
screen size : absolutely 14" one~

Haha. yes u got that right. I dont real mind about the power comsumption or portability, mostly i would just remain stationed and plugged in also only use battery for works and simple tasks.

One more, if im not mistaken, g53 is cheaper compared to m14x , is it ?

Well, it depends on which G53, and which M14x you're referring to

Thanks for your reply

Yep the G53 without 3D, normal dvd writer would be good enough for me.. the difference between SZ039v and IX042v i think is the bluray(i dont really know about this) and the RAM that comes with it(again correct me if im wrong).

You're right
One comes with 4GB RAM, whereas the other 8GB RAM. But you can always upgrade the RAM anyway

and also different specification of gpu

Thanks for your reply


edit: sorry i thought i saw u wrote "processor" instead of "gpu"..dont know how i can see that far..
ya the gpu comes from 2gb -3gb range..right?
