Of the 5 models on our list, the Asus K52JR is the only one with 15.6″ display while all the rest are at 14″. On the other hand, only the Fujitsu laptop uses the built-in Intel GMA HD graphics while the rest uses either an nVidia GeForce 310M or ATI Radeon HD 5470. The nVidia GPU has 512MB dedicated RAM while the ATI GPU has 1GB RAM.
Based on the combination of CPU, GPU and RAM, it looks like the Asus Asus K42JR is the best in terms of price to specs. Lenovo’s G460 is a very close 2nd spot together with the Acer Aspire.
@neji, licensed are preferred, they are updatable in all aspects and either international or national you could always ask the Microsoft to send you a new copy and newer copy for only $10, so tipid parin ba o warranty and benefits of a licensed o.s.?
Im thinking to buy a laptop…
which is better msi cx420 or asus k52jr-sx091 pareho lang specs nila but im looking for the good preformance between two,,pls help me
mga pre..
bkt ka mag licensed O.S kung d ka nmn magaabroad??
hahaha lahat b kau mangingibang bansa?!!
ang dali dali mag install ng o.s eh. i will not pay 7K for such stuff, 40minits ko lng ininstall ung hiniram kong win7 ultimate, tapos ang prblema.walang pakakaiba ung licensed o.s at ung hiniram ko. hahaha
saka n lng ako mag original o.s kung mangingibang bansa n ko. thats nmy opinion, wala nmn cgrong nagchchek ng O.s sa mga bahay bahay.sa airport lng tlga.
hahaha..
meron na ako i3. dell inspiron. pinadala ng ermats ko from france last month.
Kuya “nvidia is way cool than ati’s†mahirap po yata iclose yan, naka depende po siguro yan sa card na ikukumpara, halimbawa, high-end nvidia GTX 480g at low-end ati HD 3650, malamang mas mainit yung nvidia sa case na yan, hehe. Eto po medyo pareho sa performance na cards ng ati at nvidia na pang laptop na may i3, Yung Performance ng GPU may benchmark scores at frame rate ng mga games dito;
For nvidia 310M – http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-310M.22439.0.html
For ati HD 5145 – http://www.notebookcheck.net/ATI-Mobility-Radeon-HD-5145.24581.0.html
Sa temp. wala ako mahanap eh, kaya sariling sirap kaso ati HD 5145 lang meron dito,
Ave. Temp @ 90-98% GPU load (GPU-z) = 73 Degree Celsius
-nag play nalang ako ng sabay-sabay na 13 hd videos sa 13 vlc players para lng po magkaload yung GPU, kaya nya ng minimal lag.
Ave. Temp @ idle 0% GPU load (GPU-z) = 50 DegreeCelsius
Other GPU idle temp = 48 to 59 Degree Celsius
I have the acer 4740G with OS.. and demn.. great lappy for cheaper price.. nvidia is way cool than ati’s lalo na’t I use it for programmings like java, autocads and CS4.. kung sa game ok lng.. mejo mababang setting .. down side… 3hrs lang ung batt.. amf..
