i7 would be a better choice lah! but IMO bigger RAM will play more role upgrade to 8GB. depends on your budget too. Running these softwares on i5 is not a problem at all. It performs very well IMO but definitely better with i7 due to its quad core but at a higher power consumption (bad if u r on the go, battery dependent) & will it be worth the 800 diff? doesn't matter if money is not a problem lah . so the choice is yours can ask for sifus opinion here as well.

so now im considering lor...my budget from 2.7 up to 3.6k ....really gg~~many people ask me go for mac in this situation~~but mac cant gaming man!

hello zack..

helo ~frog~

Hello all,

i also have a asus n55sf and i like it a lot but today i had a problem that is realy getting on my nerve.

Yesterday i played skyrim as usual with no problems and i hibernated the pc then today i started the pc and noticed that it took longer than usual to start but still it worked like normal. Then i tried to play skirim and bam... the game was ridiculously slow and i was like wtf is this then i rebooted the pc. Tried it again and same thing then i donwloaded the newest drivers and tried it and still loooow frame rate. This problem is present in some games but not on others and i realy don understand it x_x

If u guys can help me i'd apreciate a lot!
Thx ken.

One more thing, is your Vista Service Pack 2?

sorry sp1..

i played skyrim, but i have not experience this on my n55sf. just rarely it will hang/autoclose after long playing.

other than skyrim did you install any new program? antivirus update? schedule virus scan? schedule back up system?

Do you run on high performance mode?

you know who am I?

it depends which priority you put first... If you go Mac mainly for it's design, then i suggest Asus/windows laptop it's more practical. If you are going for Mac for it's graphic editting apps then Mac all the way. If u can do a Hackintosh then you will have the best of both worlds minus Apple's design well I don't know if anyone here in this forum have done Hackintosh on N45/55 series... anyone who knows how are welcome to share. Considering to do Hackintosh xD

go deviantart grab a lion os skin or whatever then u'll have the apple design xD

only OS skin like Mac. I have a friend who have done Hackintosh on a HP laptop with dualboot. wonder possible with this series hahaha They say depending on Laptop MB & all the hardware compatibility

Yes,u can do a dual boot with Mac OSX and Windows but not all hardware r compatible.I did it with my old Acer laptop.Succeeded in installing and boot in but no sound,no wifi and lagging condition.U used something call iBoot or Kalway to help u install the Mac OSX.

U can check hardware compatibility list here:

Hey wat do u guys think of n45sf compare to a43sv...which wan should i get??my normally usage was for movies(normally play HD format such as mkv,tp..recently addicted to HD,LOL) music and some minor gaming like pes or modern combat...and can i ask wat best offer for n45sf u guys can get?

A43V
-Cheaper
-No USB 3.0
-No sub-woofer
-Weaker graphic card

N45/55 SF
-More expensive
-2 USB 3.0 + 2 USB 2.0
-Comes with sub-woofer
-Better graphic card
-Bang & Olufsen Speaker

U judge it urself.It's up to whether u r willing to fork out few hundred bucks more for the extra features.

I played it on high and had good frame rate also with other games. Thing is i just hibernated the pc, nothing more and sudenly almost all games have low frames. From what i tested nfs the run, anno 2070, skyrim and league of legends all were set to high and worked great and now they dont but moden warfare 3 still works on extra, it seems that for those games the one doing the rendering is the intel board Oo and for mf3 is the nvidia.

I realy dont know what to do...
