QUOTE(astria @ Sep 21 2011, 11:34 AM) well, but N55SF has better audio, and higher resolution (i5 version only)...  QUOTE(astria @ Sep 21 2011, 01:11 PM) HP - Beats audio yeah, i think MSI GE620DX suits me the best for now.Asus - B&O with subwoofer, i5 version has higher resolution Lenovo - JBL audio MSI - no nonsense features, juz performance Sager - Full HD monitor i dun really care about speaker, since i always use headset summore N55sf got air vent at left-palm side, not suitable for gamers. N series also hav weird keyboard. especially the arrow keys..how play games liddat liao  |

i read reviews/comments abt MSI GE620DX, users said it gets hot when gaming (more than 90 C)
im in dilemma now~ Asus N55sf (i5) = lower cpu, bad keyboard MSI GE620DX (i7) = gets hot, lower resolution im thinking of adding HP Dv6-6001TX and Sager NP5165 to my list. for Dv6, if buy without 'bang headset' how much it will be? and Sager..err....how's the quality? really that good as its price? p/s: i have zero knowledge abt sager...1st time know this brand ==" |

QUOTE(IvanWong1989 @ Sep 24 2011, 05:44 PM) comparing understood laptop A- intel i5-2410m, integrated hd3000.... no dedicated gpu... with laptop B- amd A6, integrated radeon hd 6520g.... no dedicated gpu i5 is dual core ... a6 is quad core.. i5 architecture newer... a6 architecture older... CPU wise... i5 smokes a6.... hd 3000 is intel's integrated graphics... radeon hd 6520g is amd'd integrated graphics BUT ... 6520g smokes hd3000.... since games emphasize on gpu.... in this situation.. Llano A6 wins.. XD.... und so far???  btw when will i5 2430m replace 2410m in Asus N55? another qstion: AMD 6770 is 1gb rite? while GT555m is 2gb.. is both really on same level?

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Sep 25 2011, 02:33 PM) Word is the old 2410m will be replaced quite soon... perhaps within weeks? Asus N55sf and MSI GE620DX use GT555m type B2 rite? this 1 weaker than HD6770? Depending on which GT555m you are referring to... the GT555m [B1] is more or less on par, if not slightly weaker than the AMD HD6770... The other GT555m are not match for the AMD HD6770  |

HP Dv6-6001TX has AMD HD6770(1gb ddr5) while DV6-6108TX has AMD HD6770(2gb ddr5)
is gpu ram very important for gaming? if thats so..then.. GT555M(2gb) > HD6770(1gb) ?  |

QUOTE(Acid_RuleZz @ Sep 25 2011, 11:38 PM) No, there is no difference in performance between 2GB and 1GB HD6770M. The amount of ram is not important, what matter is the memory bus width and type. then in what terms 2GB is better than 1GB HD6770M?all this while i really thought higher ram=faster speed |

QUOTE(Acid_RuleZz @ Sep 26 2011, 12:14 AM) None. I play Tropico 4 recently and it barely use >500MB. Most of the time it used around 300MB-400MB of graphic memory. understood. Higher capacity doesn't mean it's faster. Like i said.. higher memory bus width(128bit,192bit,256bit) and memory type(GDDR3,GDDR5) are more important. Link: How Much RAM Does Your Graphics Card Really Need?  thnx.about thermal paste ,those shops is LYP got sell and provide install service?
