Please advise on this laptop

by swayzhen - 3/21/12 4:55 PM

Hi guys

I'm planning to get the Asus K53SD-SX504V, but I'm not sure whether it will be a good laptop or not because I'm not savvy on the specs.

Specs:
Intel 2nd Generation Quad Core i7-2670QM (2.20GHz) Processor,
15.6" HD 16:9 (1366 x 768) LED Display,
4GB DDR3 1333MHz Memory,
500GB Hard Drive, DVD-S Writer Drive,
NVIDIA GeForce GT 610M 2GB GDDR3 Graphics Card, MS Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit, HDMI & USB 3.0 Ready

My main question is: is the processor, memory, and GPU a good combination? (is the 4GB RAM good enough?).

is the GT610M GPU good? I think it's new. How does it compare against the GT520M? I'm assuming it will be better is that right?

and finally, if anyone has used this laptop before: is it quiet during graphic demanding games? and does it heat up alot?

Thanks guys!

We do have laptop choosers at many sites, but given no country I might pick models that are not available.

Even the Alienware m11x is 999 and has a decent gaming GPU and overall solution.
