Comparison and personal opinion...
Both have at very similar price.
For gaming, HD5730 is a BIT better than HD5650.
As for HDD, I really don't need much large disk on my laptop. I only use visual studio, adobe, office and lotro at the moment. I still have my PC for my main workstation, storage and for heavy gpu games. HDD is getting cheaper by a month and it can be replaced in the future, CPU/GPU is not. I guess it's a matter of personal preference.
Better looks and finish! and I know for some time that ASUS makes exceptional laptops.
Now the best thing why I bought my k42ja is that they offered me a very good deal with free 2gb upgrade.
I hope I made the right choice for buying this laptop as a Christmas gift for myself hehehe.
Hey! I brought a k42ja too. I'm using it to post this comment right now. The keyboard is top-notch.

Wait... what?? I didn't get that at the shop I went to. Noooooo! T_T
Yep, matagal ko na nakausap yun shop manager about the good price then tinago ko yun pricelist for the proof.
ReplyDeleteOut of curiosity I tried calling other branch and they can't offer me what I'm asking -- trade free 320gb ext to +2gb at same price.
Returned to the shop and got the same deal... she keep her words. (I'm afraid baka saakin lang hehehe)
Nice. :)
ReplyDeleteOh well. Its a great laptop so I really can't complain. Still a great buy.
ati sucks.
ReplyDeletego for nvidia.
I've been hearing a lot of nvidia powered laptops failures. You should read more about it.
ReplyDeleteATI sucks? check Google before commenting. mas mataas ang failure ng GPU ng NVIDIA powered laptops kesa ATI :)
