Hi.. i am very intereseted in this i5 3210m + gt 650m..

anyone has a benchmark for dirt3, max payne 3, Alan wake. Medium setting is pretty enough.. would love to see 50 fps+ in this 1366 x 768 reso.


Thx, enjoy your laptop guys.

Hmmm.. isn't 1366x768 in 15.6 good enough"? Compared to 23" 1080p, pixel's density is still higher --> crispier right ?

15.6"1366x768 = 10097 pixels / sq. in
23" 1080p = 9176 pixels / sq. in.

Source : tv calculator

Of course, 15.6" full HD even more crispier. But from one who is coming from 23" FHD i dun know what's so bad about it.. And again i7 + gt 650m should maximise GPU capability and play in 1080p will produce less frame rate, yes ? Or gt 650m already maxéd with this i5 ?

Define a lot ?

yeah.. but..

Every laptop easily get warm if you put prime dan furmark

May be n56vz fhd owner can test downscale to 1366x768 when gaming, look how the image/game would be. For desktop display, i am sure it'll be blurry as hell.

1080p = 2073600 pixels ~ 132923 pixels density
768p = 1049088 pixels ~ 67249 pixels density

Nearly twice pixels amount for the same screen size.

However, imho, the most important thing about display of screen quality is the panel itself. If the 1080p is using the exact same panel only different in terms of pixels amount. It will just look the same (colour, black depth, etc) apart from the sharpness.

768p version has monitor id "MONITOR\AUO24EC" it's from au optronics (googling)

Yeah i mean, the one in n56vz hd i am currently using is ok, not the best i've seen in notebook though. Meanwhile, my dell u2311h's ips panel is made by LG However i've seen LG mediocre TN panel too..

Try this song.. butterfly by jason mraz or whatever you like that is quite bassy.. i use foobar set build-in volume 100% + 50% in system sound (tray).

Plug in and out the mini subwoofer.. check what's the different

What i'm hearing is much more pronounced guitar bass and drum pedal.. try Armin Pretty good for a laptop though.

Yeah.. gaming is no problem so far.. Got few crash in youtube in firefox.. currently using chrome, no problem.. try to update the flashplayer, no ?

Same.. actually i got my apostrope button ( " and ' ) is weird.. whenever i press it, nothing comes out but if continue typing or press spacebar it will display No biggie though... Regarding speaker and subwoofer it's just better compared standard laptop.. but i guess 100-ish creative 2.1 set-up will provide a better sound of course.. each to their own.

Do not forget to use high quality music files e.g CD or 320kbps mp3 files

congrats man... enjoy. Curious, Is it new 2x4gb kits ram module you put in or different brand/spec. ? Now we have less problem with n56vz

Would you upload a picture of U3 with n56vz on it ? I tried U2 in a shop.. fits well, but no extra space.. not sure why i need extra space

I see... cheers mate

Around 2 weeks of usage.. imo the 768p screen pane colour quality probably pretty standard.. i guess my old dv6000 is better.. Any recommendation of calibration setting ?

@fiqz4ce

Congrats man.. at least 2 user now from skudai btw do you know best place to get computer accessories here in skudai ?

About temps, mine here 51 max in daily use (entertainment mode), mostly average is 46-ish. im usig hwmonitor for cpu temp.

LOL.. 86-89 degree on i5 cpu with alan wake. 3 hours gaming with no air conditioning Wonder how is i7 3610qm heats up on this game..

Notebook gaming should probably 1 hour at max

Is it me or the 768p panel shows faint and very small grey gridlines across the screen, subtly seen in certain colour ? or is it typical matte screen surface that does so ?

Okay i guess it is not grey lines actually.. it is just like the lines of pixel dot across the screen seems to pop out a little bit if i really focus on it.. it is a bit white on grey colour, only if put attention close to the screen.. being nitpicky actually.. you know when you have matte screen mobile phone with very low resolution.. it is just like as if you can see blocks of pixel dots, when you put every attention to it..

Or just try put attention to spesific horizontal bar exactly below our post in this forum or when you right click pay attention to the pop up box colour.. it is not like 100% solid and smooth.

Nevermind mate, it is acceptable since it's even lower pixel density than my 900p 20" and 1080p 23".

I bought the U2. I'll make a mini review + pictures later okay.. just for n56vz fans

75 is considered high..? i play GTA IV medium-high setting with N56vz i5 version.. it is around 85 for both cpu & gpu

Anyway... if could recommend for anyone who is really looking for display quality.. please consider anything else, the 1366x768 i5 version is poor, i just compared it to my friend's inspiron glossy display also at 1366x768. The maximum brightness, contrast, colour.. unfortunately poor I am loving this laptop design, buidls quality, component inside.. but yeah.. just in case.

Question. Is it possible to change the display panel ? i am actually thinking to replace it after the warranty finish with better quality and at least 1600x900p. 2 years later though.
