Official Waiting for N82JV Thread

any clue of battery life on this yet?

 

if you've been reading, people expect the battery life to be about 4-5 hours ;D based off of current laptops such as the x83.

 

It should be pretty good with a 8cell battery when you don't play games or stress the system.

 

asus needs to hurry up and release this already. my windows 7 RC is going to expire after today. i may have to settle for the vaio CW if it doesnt come out soon.

 

asdf916 - agreed, my ASUS a8js is dying.... the power brick has to have the cord coming out of it bent a certain way for it to work, one of the touchpad buttons doesn't work, a hinge is almost broken, and the screen assembly is coming apart. As of now I'm reduced to my 14" laptop being a "desktop replacement...."

 

So the end of February has come and gone... any more info on a launch date??

 

Information from CeBit is starting to filter back. I would expect to hear about the N82 from there.

Goodie!

CeBit in 13 hrs 41 mins 12 secs...

 

CeBIT has the N43,N63 & N73 from ASUS but no N82.

 

So what are the other three about?

 

Yeah, aren't we on the N71 and N61? Maybe those are interesting systems too.

 

The Y460 (the closest opponent) is already avaible in Asia now.

Asus better speed up a bit....

 

Tomorrow!! We will know! Asus Conference

http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/engadget-is-live-from-cebit-2010/

 

Since the engadget article is from March 1st and today IS ... yesterday's TOMORROW, shouldn't TODAY have been that press conference? And all they showed us is some N43 and N63 and whatever with no specs?
This is so bad, I already waited one and a half MONTHs for this damn thing.

 

hey whats the difference between n43 and n82?

 

Any chance it'll be announced later on during the exhibition? I don't know how these things works.

Edit: sorry, didn't see the posts before. Ignore me.

 

if the y460 has the same chasis and internal components and structure as the y450 (basically they just swapped out the proc and vc), i doubt i'll get this. i had a chance to test out the y450 some time ago, the one with the 130m gets hot, and it radiates through the case in a sense that i could feel it in the palm rest, and the one 210m showed little improvement

though it may have a 5650 with it so..... asus better hurry up

 

It does have a 5650. I already saw the ordering page on Lenovo's site.

 

I saw some temps at a Thai site and temps aren't looking good averaging at 40 degrees with the 5650 on.

 

Near 40 celsius degree.
But you have also to consider, that it is Thailand there.
It was measured while having high humidity and about 32 celsius degree.
Guess it is some degrees cooler if you are not living in the tropical regions.
But i guess it is still acceptable for me, cause while being mobile the GPU is disabled anyways. And when enabled it is on the table or elsewhere. So i don't care too much about temperature if everything is still in the green zone.

I am more interested in the battle between the displays and the chasis.

 

So is Asus really going to go through a whole week of CeBit without releasing information on the N82. Or is the company just slow playing the news.

 

Well, it's listed on ENERGY STAR now.

 

expected release date soon based off of inductive reasoning? March 8th 2010 release date? xD

 

Let's hope so.

 

This Cebit sucks so far no good news released yet!

 

Hi!
I´m from Germany and i´m interested in the N82 too...
You can see the N82 live at the Cebit.
Look at this german site fore more infos:

http://www.notebookjournal.de/news/asus-14-zoll-notebook-mit-gt-335m-nkrt-1694

As you can see on the pictures it comes with the 335m and looks very nice...

 

Haa it didn't says video card's ram is DDR3

Plaese tell me that "1 Gb Vram" are DDR2 or DDR3

 

All of these US sites covering CeBit live and the only report on the N82 display is a german site. Really? Try a translation of the site. Do one of the comments suggest a black model? No inf. on price or release yet but the model shown looks like aproduction model. If Optimus is automatic, what are the GPU switches for.

Bronsky

PS - good find twister.

 

Tomorrow i`ll visit the Cebit and then I hope to give you more answers about the 335M etc.
The Price of the N82 will be in the same region as the N61...

 

Yeah, that's what most of us expected.

 

YES. Please tell us on the screen quality as well! I'm especially nervous about the contrast of this thing (easily tested if you go on Blackle or something).

Glad to see they DO have the N82 on display.

 

Those look like stickers to me. If you look really closely, that sticker even looks tilted in relation to the keyboard.

 

only flaw (for me, at least) is the resolution of the screen. still looking forward to purchasing it though.

 

If ASUS doesn't hurry up, I might end up going for the Lenovo Y460; it's already up for sale on their site.

 

Unless this gets a higher res screen, I'll probably end up getting the BB Sony CW, with a 1600x900 display.

 

Hi! I'm writing this directly from the Cebit... I had a look at the N82 and Must say it's a really nice notebook. The Ram of the 335m is only DDR3 and not GDDR3, but as an Asus- Employee told me the final Notebook will also come with an Ati 5730. Also you can choose a Core I7 and Not only an I3 or an I5. The Display is glare but is Not so Bad As I thougt before. Not the best One, but quite better than my Packard-Bell easynote tj75. The viewing angle is OK and the Blacklevel is the Same As the N61. Sorry for my Bad english. i Write this with my Iphone...

 

thank you for that
and how about the colors? would they release this in a color other than brown?

and i know this isn't the right forum, but since were looking at cebit right now, is the u30jc present at the expo aswell?

 

The PB easynote tj75 should have around 200cd/m². If the N82 is really brighter, than it should be ok (to use a foil).
Actually, is there a glass panel infront of the display?

Well, i don't know about the contrast of the N61, but it shouldn't be good.
Only very few notebooks have displays with good contrasts.


But the ATI 5730 is a very good news!

Thanks for the live coverage.

 

Good news indeed.

 

Oh noooooo !
1366x768 screen

 

Do you know if the ATI 5730 version will also have switchable graphics like the Nvidia option?

 

They sure would be dumb if it hadn't.

But you have to switch manually then.

 

Did he say when it might start being sold?

 

Oh very nice! I'm thinking in real world performance the 5730 > 335M!

 

but what would the graphic-switching-software-whatever be called, for sure the one with the ati 5730 will not have nvidia's optimus

 

Optimus is just a marketing name for "automatic switching", the actual hardware is in the chipset that has nothing to do with nvidia. The Lenovo Y460 has a HD 5650 and supports switching, just not automatic. You'd have to press the button.
I most sincerely hope the engineer didn't make a mistake and that there's ACTUALLY going to be a 5730 in a 14". I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

 

This all sounds great, now I just want to know when I can buy it!

 

Hi! It's very hard too Test the Display, because the Neon lights etc., but the colors look great so far... I'll buy a N82 and then check out at Home...
On the Sticker in Front of the notebook it says available with core i3 and Core I5 but the n82 on the Cebit has a Core I7 in it, and the engeneer told me, that the I7 will also available. Also the 5730 from Ati... Ehen you choose the Ati-Card you have to Change the graphics-Card yourself, because Optimus is only for Nvidia- Cards... The engeneer Said, that the N82 will Be released in the Next 3-4 weeks After the Cebit. The Chassis on the cebit was Black/ Grey and u cant See something Brown...

I'll Write a Review As soon As i have it at Home

 

Any word on estimated battery life using the Nvidia card?

 

That's very nice to hear that the thing's not brown

Since ASUS no longer builds custom order laptops, if there is an HD 5730 variant, then there should be a preconfigured model, right?
