By just multi display, you don't need that much of VRAM.
But when you start playing games on high resolution (like 2560x1600) and with ultra high texture, then you will need more than that. But the problem is, can your notebook play the games at that settings?

@Duckies



Wah, thank you so much for your time brother! So, pertaining to your reply...(Warning: Wall of texts!)

1) My gf: Will snap and say "this money can buy me LV bag, or maybe a vacation on some island" and shit... 

2) Core i5/i7: Yes, that is my issue here. I didn't know how this hyper threading and all that can be of any difference, not that literate. From your explanation, i5 is good enough for me already, as I do not use crazy softwares like AI,PSD,3DMax and stuff. And when you mention the difference is minimal in terms of gaming to have quite wrapped my concerns.

2A) Is this i5 able to withstand for the next 2-3 years if compared to i7? Because I don't spend a fortune on a laptop, so when I look for a replacement, it has to be able to serve me for at least 3-4 years. Currently using ASUS K40AB for 2 years and a half already. Still serving me quite please-fully but it has become obsolete when it comes to modern gaming.
Daily common applications wont be that processor hungry so Core i5 definitely can last 2-3 years more.I am not sure about the graphic card though since the game development has been going in a very fast pace.Mayb it can last 2-3 years more if u lower the resolutions and settings.

3) I do not need a Blu-ray drive, because I already have a Sony PS3 to accommodate. But I don't know if it feels good to have a BR drive in a laptop. Sounds cool but not a need haha..
Tat's really up to u.I downloaded stuffs all the time.In fact I dont even need the Dvd drive.Kevin even took out the dvd drive and put in a hard disk.

4) Screen: I noticed that, but I have never experience 1080p on a small screen, so I can't tell. If there is a full HD w/ matte screen + Core i5, I think it's quite a bang for bucks.
Then u have to go and see it for urself.See whether u prefer HD+ or HD and whether matte or glossy.

5) Sub-Woofer: This tin coke is so cool, read reviews and turned out to be a good addition. Put it on a flat surface, it will deliver. And I do NEED good pairs of speakers (If I couldn't I'll plug in PC Speakers up to my needs)
This is also up to u.To me the speaker + tin coke is already good enough 

6) Portability: I have no issues with weight. Good laptop bag makes no difference in terms of few hundreds of grams.

7) Fingerprint magnet: Well, my current ASUS also in black, and it's magnet of every single bad thing in life lol...i hate it. Need to always wipe and wipe. I don't know if N55 will make me cry again but, my future purchase has nothing much on the looks, only PERFORMANCE.

Verdict: Do I finally need an i5 for current needs and able to withstand the next few years? Or is it worth it to invest more $$$ and get i7?

EDIT: How is the feel for the keyboard? Just some review, I will look for the model at IT store and try it myself anyway.
It feels good so far but the keyboard is not good for gaming.Not reflexive enough.I used an external keyboard for gaming.

wah...so many gods helped me answer @.@

If i can have multi-religion, i devote to all already! hahaha

Now I whole fully understand everything I need

My manager is looking for a gaming laptop and he like die die wan ATI version instead of Nvidia. and him being much older than me, i dowan to argue much...because i myself dono like u all.

and for this, he is aiming at the A53SV, comes with i5 2430M and HD6730..and he's a skyrim freak lol.

Thank you all!

Basically if you don't mind the weaker GPU and no tin coke, the Y570 has good value as well..

No idea.I full format my notebook the moment I got it so I never realised got such file existed.

for me.. no tin coke no life! hahahaha...

actually i found it from the "tune up utilities" during optimizing my system .. something like .. "couldnt find file location and can be remove" .. will clean format after system kaboomm!!! hehehe..

unfortunately i ve uninstalled the tuneUp utilities after that due to cannot activate the splendid utilities from the shortcut key... got error! something like "chameleon drive not found!! " but i managed to solve it by reinstall the splendid app again..

one good about tune up is.. when i activate to economy battery saving in the tuneup utilities + asus power4gear battery saving. 1st time my battery life shows 4 hours ++ .. and indeed it is "stable" after tried for 2 hours! ...  indicated half battery only!..  i couldnt continue to examine to the mAx hours cos "got to go"... hehehe..

bye bye..

need help here. just bought n55sf but had a problem with the dvd rom .anyone know how to change it.must i go to the store that i bought or the asus centre. also my hard disk suppose to be 750g but only can use 670g. why so much different ? being follow this thread for quite sometime and I really dont know much about notebook. if anyone can help ,please do so. tq

750GB = 750 000 000 000 Bytes/1024^3 = 698.49GiB
Most likely the recovery partition eats around 20GiB..

Hi Lee Sifu..

in Disk Management .. mine is ..
1.primary partition     :   25.00 GB
2.OS (C:)                  : 259.17 GB NTFS
3. (D)                       :  312.00 GB

Total                         : 596.17 GB
original                     : 640.00 GB

differences                : 43.83 GB MISSING! ??  

How do i check the hidden drive in the disk management? 

Is the latest nvidia graphic driver stable for n55sf?

640GB = 640 000 000 000 Bytes,
so 640 000 000 000 Bytes / 1024^3 = 596.04 GiB

Just open the disk management, you should see the drive list.
