i think these manufacturers take customers as fools.. they're hoping that people will buy anything that has ivy bridge on it.. 15.6" @ 1366x768? what the f**k is that?! gt 630m?! and for almost 4k?!

So the GT640m LE is weaker than the GT640m? Damn and i was happy that sony's s15 will be having the gt640m le

True about the first statement. i was so hyped for the n56 but what i've realised and is pissing me off now is how these manufacturers assume that customers are either desperate/stupid to shell out money on anything that has an ivy bridge processor on it. me and my friends saw the n56 in lowyat on saturday and the first thing they pointed out was the resolution is 1366x768, they couldn't believe that for the price rm3,599 that was what they were gonna get and we just simply walked away and went to the sony store, less than 10mins later they bought a sony vaio s 13.3" laptop with older specs (for less money of course). if asus just put a 1600x900 screen, they would've gotten those guys (and a lot of others) to buy, instead they want to use "ivy bridge" to sell their left over stock.

after the nonsense asus has pulled with the n56 i highly doubt the models that'll come to malaysia will have the same specs. i remember last year when the u41sv just came out, on asus malaysia site they said usb 3.0 was optional. I sent a mail to them asking them where i could get the one with usb 3.0 to which they replied that it DOESN'T COME WITH USB 3.0 AT ALL. even now if you go to the site the "optional" usb 3.0 is still there( http://my.asus.com/Notebooks/Superior_Mobi...#specifications ), so pls don't get your hopes up especially with asus

So why is it on the website if it is not available/not going to be available? the page is for asus malaysia not singapore, if it's not going to be available in malaysia then it should not be on malaysia's site plain and simple.

i just saw this on hp MY site and thought to share, dunno if it has been posted before.

New envy 15 i7-3610QM/AMD 7750M 1gb DDR5/8GB DDR3/15.6" 1920x1080 / 1TB 5400RPM / Win 7HP 64bit RM4,999

if the laptop has 1920x1080 display, is as thin/flat, weighs less and has GTX670M please do tell

seems asus is gonna add the full HD display to the n56 if this post on their FB page is to be believed.

"After clarify on our side, that is the typo error. The N56 with Intel Core i7 processor will be in Full HD (1920 x 1080). Thank you.

i have seen the n56vm (in lowyat) and the screen was 1366x768. We'll just have to wait and see

Check here... http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Graphi...List.844.0.html GT640M is ranked #64 while GT640M LE is #98

If only it had an optical drive bay, 7200rpm hdd instead of the 5400rpm, this one would be an ultra winner... that 2GB 640M is tempting though

Anyone know any shops in lowyat that have these? i wanna have a good look at them b4 i make any decision

I would've just bought this IF THEY HAD PUT A DVD DRIVE FOR THE MODELS WITH GT640!! Sometimes I wonder who the hell makes the SKU decisions for them... they put a DVD drive in the models with weaker GPU and smaller resolution display and not in the models with the powerful GPUs and higher resolution displays?

Somehow i always knew sony malaysia would F**K up and not bring the 15.5" model http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/15/sony-va...-bridge-upgrade full 1080p IPS gt640m le kepler e.t.c. I wonder who it is that makes these decisions for them... not everyone wants to look at 13"/14" laptop screens.

Well according to http://www.anandtech.com/show/5697/nvidias...shrinks-oh-my/2 gt 640m LE can be either fermi or kepler.

Hope these come over soon http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=r...foto-29427.html was planning on getting a new laptop but i just might wait

any ideas on the release date? can't understand/read chinese
