The fact that Arrandale and Clarkdale share the same core silicon speaks volumes about the scalability of Nehalem's 32-nm Westmere implementation. This potent dual-core CPU can Turbo Boost its way up to 3.73GHz in a desktop-bound Core i5-670 and also...

The ASUS K42F 14-inch notebook with the Intel Core i5 540M processor is the best mainstream everyday notebook that we have ever used and it was a pre-production sample! Get ready for some great notebooks based on Arrandale in the weeks and months to come!

gute Anwendungsleistung; Nvidia Optimus Technologie; Energieverbrauch; Lautstärke- / Wärmeentwicklung

Tastatur; Display Kontrast; wenig Anschlussmöglichkeiten

Definición de la pantalla, su tarjeta de gráficos Intel ofrece alta calidad y su disco duro es de gran capacidad

Diseño tradicional y sin grandes innovaciones, abuso del plástico en algunos componentes y los botones del mousepad son muy pequeños

Si gustas de ver películas o jugar mientras estás de viaje, este equipo es para ti, pues los gráficos son buenos en juegos que no requieren mucho poder de procesamiento; pues de lo contrario se pasmarían y no se apreciarían como en una consola. La...

Killer graphics in a small formfactor. Appealing Asthetics. Solid Construction

Very power hungry, requires decent ventilation

My second one runs smoothly, has no problems, can play anything (not on max, certainly, but plays smoothly)

The first thing the first one I recieved did was BSOD... After that wonderful premonition, it worked somewhat, but in the end it must have had a faulty Nvidia card (GTX 335M). The laptop has two graphics cards, and while the low power one seemed to be...

335M can run anything you throw at it (more or less) ; Placement of the vent on the side is convenient for on-lap use, never gets too hot ; Touch pad is quick and responsive, although multi-touch scrolling functions can be a tad bit sensitive ;...

The thing's a dust/fingerprint magnet, as are most glossy-style notebooks, but the dark brown color really makes them visible in the light. Not really detracting from its performance however, just a minor gripe ; Also a minor gripe is the partitioning...

Simple, clean layout of interior ; 335m GPU will play any game out there ; i5 450m CPU handles all multitasking with ease ; Quick boot times w/clean install of Windows 7 ; Optimus system graphics switching (yes, this IS Optimus auto switching, just not...

Speakers just acceptable ; Battery life not up to today's standards (This is because of the 4400 mah battery. Not because of the system itself) main gaming competitors with graphics switching in 14-in get 4-5+ (Acer 4820TG and Lenovo y460). K42JV Lucky...

I think the laptop is great. I use it primarily for movies, music, and everquest II. I really like the SD card reader right in the front

The service is just plain amatuer. My screen cracked (my fault I guess) and it has taken me all morning to get an RMA number. Expect a half hour or more of wait time and then another half hour with a slow service rep. I deal with service people quite a...
