A43SJ (Specs & Performance)

This section will be short and brief. There will be no benchmarking, no confusing statistic and most importantly, no funny jargon. It will be just about my experience after using this laptop for a month.


For the specs of this laptop, I'll only touch on the essential part, as most of these information can be found from http://my.asus.com/Notebooks/Versatile_Performance/A43SJ/. When we buy a laptop, we will certainly pay attention to its processor (CPU), Hard disc capacity (HDD), and Memory. These three factors will definitely affect our browsing experience. Of course, PRICE is the most crucial, most essential point to consider. This laptop costs RM2099 (Lowyat price), which place it under the category of middle price range laptop. For me, this price is actually reasonable, as you will get a great performance Intel Core i5-2410M processor, 2GB RAM, 640GB HDD and also an original Windows 7 Home Premium. Besides, it comes with an Nvidia Geforce GT520M 1GB graphic card. This combination is decent enough for playing most of the High Resolution games in the market and to perform other daily tasks. However,  multi tasking can be little bit too resource demanding, resulting the CPU and memory usage meter to reach its peak. I have tested the laptop by turning on 3 heavy resource applications and the apps hanged frequently. To solve the problem, I upgraded the RAM to a total of 4GB and the performance improve drastically. Now I can open 5 to 6 softwares and applications and still maintain the same performance.
