    Hello
    Im currently looking to buy an Asus notebook and i really like the M51Sn and think that will be the one to go for
    But. .

    I just noticed the A7Sn with nearly the same specs it got an 17" screen and
    NVIDIA GeForce 9500M GS - 256 MB DDR3

    its about the same price for the A7Sn so wich one should i go for ? couldent find an review about the a7sn.

    M51 also features a discrete Nvidia 9500GS graphics card. It all comes down to whether you want a 15" laptop or 17" laptop.

    Yes but as i want to play games with it and i have read alot about the
    NVIDIA GeForce 9500M GS - 512 MB DDR2 in the M51Sn

    and the A7sn got an NVIDIA GeForce 9500M GS - 256 MB DDR3

    is there any big diferense of the cards?

    DDR3 is better, all other things being equal. Even though it's just half the RAM of the other one, it's still better in many instances.

    Be aware that the A7 may have lower build quality, since technically A is a consumer/budget series, and the M is a (supposedly) higher-quality multimedia-series notebook. This may not mean much in reallife, though. The only way to tell is by examining the actual laptop or from reviews.

    Okey thanx for the answers, i think i will stick with the M51Sn i wont really need an 17" screen so 15.4" will be just good.

    I think i will buy A7sn tomorrow and next week i can get it!

    17' is important for me and a7sn seems perfect solution for performance/price

    Hi
    perhaps you could tell me how you like the computor when you get it ? :)


    and do anyone know if the A7Sn really is lower build grade? or even if it is it might hold good anyway ?

    Btw muzz81x i se you are from denmark, myself im from sweden what prices have you found the A7Sn for?
