Asus U35JC/U45JC

[Chanda Bear]

I was wondering, what does the 310m compare to in terms of desktop graphic cards? Is there a similar comparison?

Also, how much does the U45JC weigh?

For everyone's info, it seems the U35JC configurations here in Hong Kong only come with 2gbs of RAM. It's selling at around 6000HKD to 6800HKD here in Hong Kong (price range depending on how well you bargain/find a good deal).

Notebookcheck has a method of measuring the performance of mobile graphics cards. For each card, they compare the performance to a current mid range card. For example, 2 Mobility 5870s in Crossfire gets a 100%, since it performs as well as a single desktop 5870. The 310M gets a 29%, as one of the top "low-midrange" mobile graphics cards.

The 2GB of RAM might leave you hurting with Windows 7, as that is the bare minimum needed to run Win7 well (I think).

what is the different between U43Jc-X1 and A1 ?

[Quatro]

Amazon lists the X1 and GenTechPC lists the A1.

Differences?
A1- 640GB HDD
A1- 2-yr warranty & 1-yr accidental Damage Warranty (ADW)

X1- 500GB HDD
X1- appears to only have 1-yr warranty and 1-yr ADW

Their weights are slightly different as well (5.07/5.15 lbs), but that could be an entry mistake.

Can anyone else spot any other differences?

Hmm, every where else I am reading is pointing towards mid August for their ETA. Is J&R the only place saying next week?

For which model? U33JC? U43JC? U35JC? All of them?

Xotic PC seems to be saying mid to late July too.

Hey everyone. I have a small admission and retraction to make. Earlier, I had said that the new NVIDIA Optimus Beta drivers 258.96 had caused me to lose 400 points.

I was wrong. I DID lose 400 points, but I finally discovered why. It was because a few days earlier, I had messed with my boot up settings (I'm sure none of you ever mess with any of your settings ) and forgotten about it.

I had reverted back to the original NVIDIA drivers, but the missing points .... remained missing. Then under CPU-Z, I realized it was only reporting 1 core & 2 threads (should be 2 cores & 4 threads.)

Embarrassed, I suddenly remembered my changes under boot of msconfig.

I changed it back to what it was originally, and voila! My missing 400 points magically returned.

So, just to say that the new NVIDIA Optimus Beta drivers 258.96 work really well for me on my U30Jc.

A good recommendation of the U30JC/U35JC/U33JC on the latest Anandtech article.

I have decided to wait for the Asus U35JC. Is there any word on when this is going to release?

This review makes me worry:

Techtree.com India > Reviews > Mobile Computing > Notebooks > Asus U45J Optimus Notebook

Furthermore I am just getting mad about asus info policy. Either keep the info about new models to yourself or release them in timely manner.
