hey man, remember that I said ppl were complaining about the dv6 giving them electric shocks while they used the laps while it was plugged on AC power? Maybe that's the reason for the discontinuation??

the dv6 is a popular series which HP has been selling since many years.
i dont think it will be discontinued for this issue.
instead, they would be trying to address this issue in newly manufactured laptops rather than discontinuing it.

That's a valid point... the dv6's a pretty popular model for HP...

yeah, you're absolutely right. a huge number of lenovo y560 display is buggy. I found on a forum

An epidemic has widespread. It’s not about a certain kind of disease. It attacks most of Lenovo IdeaPad Y560‘s screen. When the discrete graphics is turned on there will remarkably be pixels kind of dancing, shimmering, or moving around. This is much easier to see when the screen is tilted back about 60 degrees or to the front. Some speculations have risen as about the causes of this IdeaPad Y560 display problem including that the panel is only 6-bit and the AT1 card is attempting to do 8-bit color on the screen. Unfortunately, Lenovo has done nothing in this case.

hope new products are bug free. even some problems like dancing pixels can be solved with bios update, but buying lenovo y560 is still little bit risky. I won't buy y560 before check - LIVE! B-)

in my other hand, I've
Toshiba L650-x5310
and
acer 4820TG

today I'll search for this two in my local.

hi guys,

luckily I've found Asus K42JA VX032D and I'm gonna buy it in 2 days

config:
i5-460m
4GB DDR3 1066/1333
ATI HD 5730 with 2GB DDR3 vRAM
14" HD Glare (1366x768) display
640GB 5.4 KRPM HDD
DVD RW 8X SM DL
Altec Lansing® speakers
SRS Premium Sound
10/100/1000 Base T
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth 2.1
VGA webcam
6 cell battery
OS : DOS
2.20 kg (with 6 cell battery)
1-year global warranty
<= 48k including delivery.

so, how is this notebook?

vRAM 1gb vs 2gb? how much vRAM affects on game performance and graphics?

[evilmessiah]

vRAM isn't going to make a big difference in gaming performance- it's slower than the dedicated GDDR memory of the gpu. The 5730 performs slightly better than a 5650 (the 5730 is a renamed 5650 with higher clocks).

The laptop sounds good judging by the specs alone. I haven't seen or used it yet- so I can't comment much on the other mundane aspects.... (Good thing that it comes with no OS!)

yeah, thats very good thing that it comes with no OS I can save money from here

as performance + price, its best under 50k budget in all notebooks I've seen.

but I've to sacrifice 15.6" ... that won't matter too much...

But arent you worried about Asus's service? Its supposed to be very bad in India. Or have u heard something good about their service? Plz tell me.

[cyberster]

don't know how their notebook service is but should be same as their other product services - which is good

I'm from kolkata. asus service center and support available in Kolkata.
here is asus services / contact details: ASUS - Facilities and Branches

I think the best thing about no OS preinstalled is that you don't get any of the manufacturer's bloatware. I hate them with a passion. Why pay extra money to get a slower laptop out of the box, right?

Couldn't find it in the Asus site...all I saw was a K42de- which has AMD processors... Can you post a link?
