Asus A42JV
Model : K42JV
CPU: I5-520M 2.4 ghz stock (turbo up to 2.93)
RAM: 2 GB DDR3-1066 (planning to get up to 4GB once prices go down on RAM)
HDD: 500GB 7200RPM
Built in Wireless N
Windows 7 64bit Premium
14" Display, LED backlit
GPU: Intel Core I5 integrated, Nvidia GT335M discrete (NVIDIA gpu activates when running games only to save power)

loving it so far!

Able to run Starcraft 2 max settings with AA off at low FPS but still playable!

you mean laptop?:P

[Chewy369]

Yupppp! I know it's spelled "laptop" but I like and used to calling it "labtop."

That's cool but you might need Windows 7 Ultimate and Intel i7 someday. :P

[Chewy369]

Hmm? i7? I'm not actually a big fan of Intel... So.. more likely an AMD cpu. ^^
Windows 7 Ultimate doesn't make much of a diff to me, besides I have it for my desktop XD

[Rocknote]

AMD rocks for gaming but too bad it consumes power more than Intel.

lol good for you, it's quite expensive here to get an installation disk of Windows 7. Funny thing is I still heard about it contains bug.

[Chewy369]

What kind of bugs? I havn't experienced any problems with it yet so far.

[Rocknote]

The bug was the weirdest I ever seen, for some reason it didn't allow exe files being executed normally by activating Windows Media Center instead and it also worked on other types of file as well.

getting i7 on a laptop is as waste of Money and might burn out your chipset as it can't handle such load from CPU if not then you're bottlenecking your CPU = waste of money


for WinBlows
here is the comparison chart Which one is right for you? - Microsoft Windows

there is conspiracy around Windows 7 versions
Windows 7: Home Premium vs. Professional vs. Ultimate - Softpedia

but again 64bit vs 32bit more likely the issue

for me, it sounds like crap vs crap. Also these are some opinions without any credentials but according to Tom's Hardware. Windows XP is still the faster than vista and 7

i7's problem is this serious? I heard about i7 is getting cheaper but not many users tried it out yet.

So the biggest issue is 64bit and 32bit? One of the users recommended 32bit is better than 64bit without knowing the reason.

Vista is the worst, its Mozilla doesn't start up as fast as Windows XP's even its CPU uses older processor. For Ultimate, it is at least better than Vista.
