Asus B Series B43 B53 user forum

[rfs830]

I was looking at this laptop to be my next laptop as I like i idea of a dock. I see that the dock look to be discontinued now. I also see that the current models of this laptop are now also discontinued. CDW is about the only place i see that has the up versions of the laptop coming out. Maybe asus is updated all the parts for it. You can pick up the b43 on amazon for 600 right now. Im going to hold out a bit but right now asus is the only company that i know if that makes a laptop with a good gpu and a dock. anyone know if anyone else make a laptop like that?

I"ve had a B43J for a couple months now, although i've mainly used it docked on my desk.

I do have the wifi problem with it turning off at random, sometimes it happens alot other times it doesn't happen for a few straight days in a row.

My switchable graphics work just fine. I have upgraded it to 8GB of ram and a 256GB WD SSD
I also use it hooked up to a dell U3011

I was quite surprized to run into no problems running at the native resolution of 2560x1600.

Love the laptop to death, only thing is the radeon 5470 doesn't game so well on a 30" lcd.

Hi there!

I'm looking at the b43s-xh71 laptop but I cannot find any review on the web. Does somebody knows about this laptop or his 15' brother? How long these Boston battery last?

Thanks!
