Am I the only F3Ja Owner?

Just wondering as I see a lot of people saying that they have the W3j or an A8j etc. but I have never seen anyone say they have the F3Ja http://www.asus.com/products4.aspx?l1=5&l2=26&l3=316&model=1219&modelmenu=1 (btw if someone could tell me how to make the link appear as a word, F3Ja in this case that would be much appreciated )

I'm just curious as to why MY laptop isn't good enough for you people

 

if i'm not mistaken this is similar to the A6Ja model?

 

Um if you search, you will find it has been mentioned several times. In fact, there's a lounge thread somewhere also. The model just came out in NA so of course it won't be as popular, not to mention the z/s96j already exist and they are cheaper and can be configured whereas that model is an ensemble. I have an inkling that this is a "show off my laptop" thread, akin to all those people who make threads right when they purchase their laptop, the day it ships, the day it arrives, and than general impressions, all littering the forum in a haphazard fashion with seemingly no insightfulness. Pretentious are we?

Forgot to quote this:

Have a nice day.

 

To make the link appear as a word, highlight a word and then press insert link (the button with the world/paperclip on it).

 

Or you could do this:

[ url=http://whatever the link is.com/]*put your text here*[ /url]

NOTE: Remove all the spaces within the tags.
If you do what I said above, that will make the text turn into this (just a demonstration):

There is the F3Jm Owner's Lounge here:

Do you have that big 9-cell battery or 6-cell one? I'm asking because here, in Poland they sell F3ja only with 9-cell battery which is not looking good.

 

Wow, been away from an internet connection for a few days so hadn't had a chance to read any of this.
Just so that you know this wasn't actually a "show off my laptop" thread. I did actually wonder why I had't seen a mention of this laptop here. Have you actually searched the board for this model? Sure the F3Jm comes up but that model has a different graphics card and maybe a whole host of other difference that I haven't looked into so I can't say with any certainty. The F3ja didn't really come up in any threads.

Because of this I was actually slightly concerned, Where people choosing the F3Jm over the F3Ja when the X1600 is supposedly the better card? I just wanted to see if there was some kind of general feeling that there may have been something wrong with the notebook.

I'm sorry if trying to make the thread a little light-hearted offended you, I'll try to be more serious from now on just for you.

Congratulations on being the first "troll" I have seen on these boards though, you shall forever have a special place in my heart.

And just to bring out one of your points:

I wonder, how much that would apply to your post?

And just so you know I have no interest in entering any kind of flame war with you so feel free to reply all you want but don't expect me to waste any more of my time on you

 

Sorry, just had to bring this up again, the x1600 and Go7600 are just about equals in terms of performance, x1600 is not supposed to be the better card. Benchmarks flip flop between one another, and here's a real life performance thread (not synthetic benchmarks):
http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=74146

that says... in certain games one is better than the other, but overall they're neck and neck.

(ps. No, I'm not an nvidia fanboy, I like ATI just as much as the next guy, and couldn't care less which card I have.. just correcting a common misconception )

 

That test isn't exactly perfect. It uses gaming optimized drivers for NVidia and plain Cats for ATI. Also, the 7600 is clocked slightly higher than how it comes stock in most notebooks.

But, ya, the F3Ja looks neat, but I'm not sure what the different between it and the Z96J is other than some upgraded aethetics.

 

The price of a 512 mb 7600 on the wholesale market is higher than the price of a 256 mb x1600.

So on one level it should be better.

If both of those machines were available in their market ( and they shouldnt be logically, only competing with themselves) Wasnt the x1600 version cheaper?

Thats what you have to go about. Not a huge difference but how much money did you save?

If you didnt save any money I think id estimate you made a mistake. That is my opinion. But not a big deal.

an f3ja would indeed be almost exactly the same thing as a s96j. Whatever difference there is is very small. I triply doubt that the s96j and the f3ja are for sale in the same market. Theres no extra sales generated in that.

 

The F3 has the CTRL button in the right location and touchpad buttons that look less noisy. Inside looks the same.

 

Although both of them(7600 and x1600) have a similar performance under the result of benchmark, they still have their own strong and weak point and different GPU architectural design. No one dare to justify which is a perfect one. Almost F3 and Z96 have the same spec except the video, the lower price the users can get, the models can be sold more in the market.
Cheers

 

he is saying f3ja, not the f3jm you have for sale.

it has an x1600. it would be almost exaclty like a s96j not a z96j. Ok I think we have all the little acronyms straight.

if you were to sell a f3ja, and a s96j ok, and you could spec the s96j the same as the f3ja for less( or vice versa) , which one do you think the customers would buy? That is what I am pointing out.
Thats why they wouldnt be for sale in the same country.

 

I like trolling on useless threads. Skaterptd is going to be my next victim.

 

Well when buying the f3ja I didn't see the f3jm mentioned anywhere and a quick google search shows no sign of the f3jm in the UK market so can't really say how much I might have "saved". The same applies for the s96j so I can only assume that they aren't sold here.
Maybe the F3ja is just more or less the european counterpart of the f3jm? Thats just pure speculation on my part though

 

yes I think i would be repeating myself to agree with you. either you are agreeing with me or I am agreeing with you.

Either way, we are repeating ourselves.


a few markets had both the a8jm and a8ja for sale and the a8ja was about 50-100 cheaper.

 

lol, yeah i was just agrreing with you.

 

Does anyone know whether the two ram modules for the asus f3ja are both located under the laptop, or if one of them is located under the keyboard similar to other asus laptops?

 

in answer to my own question... yes both ram modules are located on the underside of the laptop rather than underneath the keyboard making it very easy to upgrade the memory. i have just upgraded my memory from the original 1gb to 2gb this morning and the difference so far is already noticable. The main performance difference im sure will be when i play games so i look forward to that! i would recommend anyone with a f3ja laptop to upgrade because it is so simple(only if you know an odd thing or two about the insides of your computer). goodluck to anyone wanting to upgrade their memory!
