N56VZ I thought its with i7 but maybe its a diff version?
As in my previous thread, they say N56VZ comes with FHD and i7 at RM3599  blink.gif
But now seems like it become N56ZM? lol

By the way its with gt650m yay!

So is it worth to buy?  brows.gif Unlike the unfair N56VM.

I thought the brochure made it clear already? hmm.gif
The N56VZ is the one with i5 while N56ZM is the one with i7.

IMO, its quite worth it. Though i will go with Dell Inspiron 15R SE even though the GPU is weaker.

N56ZM will hav a FHD screen, better design (imo) and a better speaker( with external subwoofer) compared to y580 although with a weaker graphic card and a smaller ram....tough choice..hmm
*
Lenovo Y580 is built more towards gaming.

Asus N56ZM is more for entertainment/multimedia. Good for watching movies, music smile.gif

Dammit..now they are like having a competition. Thought DELL seems more secured in terms of after sales service.... but this fella is prettier and nicer spec. Really having dilemma.

Anyone know that the 750gb is 7200rpm or 5400rpm?
*
They are always having war brows.gif

I think its 5400rpm iinm. Not sure about the N56ZM though.

Why there is no N56VZ i7 variant? If i7 with FHD screen then I will definitely get this sad.gif

There is N56ZM with i7. Almost same spec with FHD screen thumbup.gif

GT630M is too weak, no? I am eyeing on a laptop with i7, 1tb hdd, FHD screen and somewhere GT640M. So far only dell 15R but it is a bit ugly or dull...
*
The one you listed is N56VM. The overpriced and with weak GT630M.

This is the new one, introduced together with N56VZ:

N56ZM-S4079V, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GT650M + (1920 x 1080) + BluRay@RM3599[Bang&Olufsen], 4GB, 1TB

not to mention that 650m is with 2GB GDDR5.. and this N56 comes with GDDR3.. in real world gaming does it makes any difference?  hmm.gif really noob in this things  sweat.gif compared to G55 which one do you guys think is much more worth it?
*
Whether its GDDR3 or GDDR5, it doesn't make that much of an impact. In Nvidia's case, GDDR5 have bigger data bus.
G55VW is made purely for gaming while N56 is for multimedia purposes, better design, great audio, etc. It depends on your usage to define 'more worth it'. smile.gif

indeed!  drool.gif  truly madly deeply in love with this laptop!  wub.gif

how does it rate for diablo 3 on this laptop?

The GT650M can handle some heavy gaming. Playing on high settings should be alright i guess? hmm.gif

But still, have to wait for the reviews to come out tongue.gif

to all the lucky guys who got nv56vz ( i5-3210m)  rclxm9.gif  :

is there any heat problem for this model?

and some sifus can also tell me more about the heat problem. what is the average temperature for a laptop? whats the range of temperature that is considered dangerous and how long do i need to play to reach the dangerous range?

QUOTE(clon12 @ Jun 24 2012, 02:52 PM)
Well, I'm not too sure about that. Will try to run it again... but I did a 3dmark11 on it. Max temp is 77C for the GT650m.

This is the score

I LOL'ed at that laugh.gif

If its true then its not worth it, why the high additional price for almost the same spec except i7/Bluray?
First N56VM now N56ZM? hmm.gif

One more cool feature I discovered is that the touchpad can act like Macbook's trackpad too! You can tap using two fingers to act like right click (this is freaking useful to me when using touchpad and one of the features I like in MBP also). Three fingers swipe up to switch windows (the windows button + tab button slide). Three fingers swipe left to BACK and swipe right to NEXT. Makes it easy to back and next in webpages. Just FYI for those that got the laptop and might be another buying point for those that still in doubt icon_rolleyes.gif

Wow I did not realise that is possible tongue.gif Great feature.
Is it only applicable for some laptops? I only use mouse as I'm more familiar with it...
