Hi everyone, i have copy this from the catalog thread as suggested by AmeiN smile.gif There are some questions that i would like to clarified regarding the 2 laptops below:

QUOTE(pandah @ Oct 12 2011, 08:05 AM)

For A43TA, AMD A6-3400M + AMD HD6720 G2@RM1899

Can i ask AMD 6720 G2 is comparable to Nvidia which card? 540m? has the driver issue of the amd dual card been solved?

The is another model A43Sa-VX011v, i5-2410M + AMD HD6730@RM2499, the 6720 G2 differs greatly from the 6730? 6730 is comparable to which card? do you think the difference in RM 600 is worth?

and NP8130, i5-2410QM + Nvidia GTX560M + (1920x1080)@RM4099, FreeDOS [CPU Options: i5-2410M - i7-2860QM], wow 560m at 4.1k  drool.gif
actually i am coming back here cause last nite my 5 years old lappy display chip snapped again and gave me lines and lines and lines when starting up, previously changed the chip once, the shop told me if spoiled again not worth to repair anymore, won't last long... cry.gif

miraculously, it is back to normal now! god, i hope it can tahan for some more time, many important work inside  sweat.gif

may be it was overheated or something, but since the symptoms are appearing, in case it really have to retire, i am here to see if any unit that i should get  sweat.gif 

Previously bought the toshiba l745 for my sister, quite a good one i should say, for this one i am traveling with lappy a lot and do play games so i am looking at probably 14' with a good card. thanks for helping and reading the long text  notworthy.gif

psps it is these:

Add-on, for RM 2499, do you think laptop with 540m is better? for performance and heat management?

I would probably like it to be 2-2.5k, 14' or 15' is ok, usual MS work, online game, some pc game, torrenting sometimes, alot traveling (need to bring to work place also at times). notworthy.gif

still gtx460 better  laugh.gif based wat the sifus tell me last time.
15" better cooling and heat management oso..

since you have a lot of travelling, i suggest portable and lighter laptop. easy to carry around and not heavy, 15" quite heavy  sweat.gif unless, u will bring it evrywhere  tongue.gif

HD7630 still better than gt540m, but loss to gt555m XD

can consider this:
acer
Aspire 4755G-2432G50, i5-2430M + Nvidia GT540M@RM1899, 2GB, 500GB; 3 years local warranty
Aspire 4755G-2434G64, i5-2430M + Nvidia GT540M@RM2199, 4GB, 640GB; 3 years local warranty
TimelineX 4830TG, i5-2410M + Nvidia GT540M@RM2499[2.2kg] >>> bat can last for 6-7 hours

Asus
A43Sa-VX011v, i5-2410M + AMD HD6730@RM2499
A43Sv, i5-2430M + Nvidia GT540M(1GB)@RM2349[2.44kg]
A43Sv, i5-2410M + Nvidia GT540M(2GB)@RM2499[2.44kg]

thank biggrin.gif

460 is better compare to the 560 you mean?

quite a high end card there i see.

since they are all using a 540m, except A43SA, the extra price comes from the harddisk and ram?

is the processor 2430 better than the 2410? i am guessing not much notable differences?

so the 6720 G2 is not so good for gaming right?

yes..  it comes from its gpu oso... hdd, ram.. but not  that much, need consider the warranty too..2 years..
2430 and 2410 no much different. jz few percents only.

sadly today, my 5 yo needs to retire liao, haizzzz sad.gif

after 1 day of working fine, i thought it is ok, but then...



i will be going to lowyat to try out the A45SA liao... any trusted seller there? or here? hmm.gif need to get by this week end liao.

it is really tempting to get n45 or n55 with the gt555m, but still not sure about the resolution, or would i even need that high end of graphic !? not to mention the sager 5165 FHD, screw it, must jaga wallet first sweat.gif


for my old lappy, can i take out the harddisk and use as external? the window system inside can i like delete it and just use as storage?

dont take n45sf.. better take n55sf... because n45 as quoted " updating the BIOS alone won't stop games from lagging. However, BIOS update + disabling Turbo Boost will ensure smoothness, so I guess the problem is partially solved"  biggrin.gif

better dun take out the hdd as external...  dangerous..  jz in case anything happen..

other place than lowyat gt??  if not trust there, try other place. i'm not from KL  sweat.gif  jz go there for vacation sometimes only... how bout shop inside time square there? there's a lot...
*
i see, later go lowyat see and feel the machine first, lowyat very near time square, can go see see also. the n55 i5 version priced at 2.8k, i wonder if can reduce further, else i will just get the a43sa, diff 300 hmmmmm. what version of gt555m was it? i heard have A and B or something like that? got difference?

anyway my lappy now edy can not display anything, on power just can hear sound, then keep restarting itself, the com shop told me if happen again means the board can not tahan any more sad.gif not worth to repair 2nd time, cuz if change the chip again need around rm 400 quite expensive oso de... so i just thought rather than the harddisk sit inside i also can not take out the data, if possible i just want to copy things over so i dun nid to prepare all the work all over again cry.gif

Asus i not sure got official shop like sony or not, just know service centre at imbi, but dunnoe if it actually selling...

lol laugh.gif

just went to visit the page, so many stuff he selling, can design a webpage for business edy liao smile.gif

let me pm him ask see see first.



@ eddie, so now they already change a laptop for you, is there any problem with it? the adapter is should be compatible, as long as the connector fits, the power voltage should be same for all, since they follow malaysia's voltage supply. but battery? hmmm same size kah the battery? they gave u new a53, but without a battery? then u use the old battery? rclxub.gif if you are not sure can call them ask first. i wonder what cause it to break down after just 5 days??
was it a llano problem or it was just by chance?

but

A53SV-SX480V @ RM2,249 [i5-2430, 4GB RAM, 500G HDD, NV GT540-1G]

and

A43TA-VX047v, AMD A6-3400M + AMD HD6720 G2@RM1899

from the other thread, how come you pay 2.2k? you mean the 2.2k for A43TA right? it should not be that expensive.

A53 and A43 are different size laptop, you can know by seeing the laptop when you open it. if you bought A43TA, i think they should give you A43SV, but i am not sure.

the price is quite weird, may be you have to check again?

Just now i went to lowyat and molested the laptop liao.

N55SF i5 version, the keyboard quite ok, mouse pad oso ok, but the plastic cover is a downside, i felt that it was hot. and the lid, omg, must be a fingerprint magnet! RM 2699 with 1600 x 900, a lower version of gt555m, comes with some craps and free upgrade to 8gb ram. extend to 3 years warranty need top up rm 350, have to do it at the service centre.


A43SA i5 version, i don't really like the keyboard, but still acceptable, aluminium casing, not so hot, and the lid is ok.
RM 2299 for i5 2410, RM 2399 for i5 2430, well not sure if the RM 100 really brings any difference. AMD hd6730m, 1366x768. also come with some craps and free upgrade to 8 gb ram. same warranty payment as well if extend.


really i like the n43sl more doh.gif but i hate the lid design, and it is weaker than the above, audio aside.


i was also looking at the acer 4755G and the timeline x 4830 tg, the design is fine to me, with a gt540m, but the 4830 battery life is wonderful!

and there is actually a hp dv4 i5 version with amd hd 6750m, RM 2599 oh.


now i brain can't really choose which one to get arghhhhhh..... rclxub.gif

Instead of the on I mention above, what laptop can use i7 but price quite reasonable ?

I just realize RM3009 is too much just for surf internet and play normal game  sweat.gif

why do u need an i7 if just normal internet and game?

if your activity is not demanding so much, probably you wont need those many cores there.

if just normal movie, ms work, some games, i5 should be ok, even i3 can handle.

just my opinion, but if you are using some software that needs i7 then you should buy the i7, if not later may be very hard for your work.

It seems that the Asus product guide price is almost always RM100 higher than what most ppl are selling...
Looks more like a dirty trick to cheat money to me  shakehead.gif
