No point fighting over hp vs Asus.
Both are huge and have big fan followings.
hp has definitely lost its ols sheen and glory of the past and Asus is getting bigger and better everyday.

Now people even refer Acer and hp in the same bracket.
@o.p, Acer is probably the worst choice you have.
It is as bad as hcl or Zenith.

even i am saying so but this guy is not understanding.

Acer should be last choice but I'd say Acer >>> HCL/Zenith. I've used 3 Acer laptops. And all were fine at least for 2 years. No problem what so ever. But its build quality is not good except e-machines. They have very good build quality.

ooh is that so from your posts i can see you are kid in this forum, so better you check out threads and other other forums then open forum your mouth and for your information i have been into this gaming for more than 14 years. so better check your words before you open your mouth. Go and search in Google about the motherboard failure issues of Hp laptops not only in india but throughout the world, so kid you better brush up your IQ.

Please don't fight here.
And just give your own suggestions and don't comment on other people's comment/suggestion.
The people of different people are different.And people give their suggestion according to their own experience and thinking.

And apart from that even I have experienced a lot of issues in HP laptops.
Many of my friends own HP laptops and believe me they regret their decision that they bought an HP laptop.No one is satisfied with their performance.They all are facing severe heating issues.That is the only reason which stops us from suggesting an HP laptop to anyone.Another we are not an enemy of HP or something like that

grow up kid and dont cry like a baby out here like i don't have 6121tx and all. so go and brush up your knowledge about laptops and their issues. i have dv6 6121tx and it had a motherboard failure which hp replaced my motherboard so if you suggest something good then come up with answer else keep your mouth shut

Man, it is great to see people fight for ASUS and HP and other brands, that is some passion.
Coming to topic and the point to debate,
I have a HP pavilion 6140 laptop.
I do not face any issues related to overheating or performance. If someone's facing performance issue with sandy bridge i7, either its during coping 1TB data from and external HD or its a lie.
Temps are normal. XPS will also touch same temperatures if it is under stress.

However, failure rates in HP is pretty high. That too the motherboard mainly. And I admit, it is a huge risk.
About ASS, in my 1.5 yrs with HP, I have contacted hp once. They were prompt to reply.
Actually, HP comes with unmatched h/w at unbeatable price. Hence the confusion.

Hope it will clear some of your confusions.

At last Arsenalfan has brought some sanity to this thread.
If ASS of hp is good in your area,the new SB dv6 is great vfm indeed!

suman & malishobhon, brothers, I am so happy that you are so concerned about me or anyone. Just helping those 1500 people who have viewed this thread. But please dont take it personally.

@reddragon
that is some sort of shop indeed.

 

[sdmaverick]

In a nutshell, and I am speaking on Asus vs. HP since I owned a DV6 and a K53SV (i7) currently as my primary device. This is my personal opinion:

Build quality --> Asus
Overheating --> Asus (not even a little bit till now, gaming or no gaming)
Performance Wise --> Asus
After Sales --> Tie
Support --> HP
Sound Quality --> HP
Battery Life --> Asus
Peace of Mind --> Depends, are you an adventurous person or risk averse, I was a dell guy before I tried HP & then Asus, so I had no preferences for a single brand. Not the case with everyone.

Cheers!

The only advantage HP laptop is having is the HD 6750M Graphics card with 1 GB GDDR5 memory which is even faster than GT 555M with DDR3/GDDR3 memory. But I'm also aware of the poor display quality and display related issues with HP.

Here is another option: Asus K43 Series K43SA-VX041D

This one comes with Core i7 2670QM (4 cores, 8 Threads, 2.2 GHz, 6 MB L3), 8 GB of DDR3 ram, HD 6730M 2 GB DDR3 Graphics, 750 GB of HDD etc. Online price is around 47K (from Flipkart) but check for the street price which is lower than it. The Graphics card is slightly below the HD 6750M but the processor is far more powerful than the HP offering. Also it comes with 8 GB ram pre-installed. Asus laptops normally have better build quality, battery life and good heat dumping capability.

problem is that I dont like asus K-series' looks.
the flexion of keyboard(as posted by an owner somewhere in this forum) and its cheap looking power button.

and k43sa doesnt have usb3.0 and has GDDR3

Dude...please dont mislead people here...which hp model do you have??? if you haven't own a hp lappy....then you better stay away talking about hp laptops....

what do you think sumansherlock?? will the dv4, I mentioned, heat up like hell and burn or have motherboard issues??

and it would be great if you help me inspite of fighting with someone who is sharing his experience??

do you have had a experience with a dv4??

Hi,

I would not recommend the K43SA asus laptop with the ATI card. Flipkart accidently sent me that one instead of the K53SA and I used it for about a week while I awaited replacement. Let me assure you on paper it seems better than the gt540m. But in real time performance, I gamed on dirt 2, crysis and cs source (random games lying around at the time) and the GFX has massive fps drops from 60 all the way down to 34 -36. It seems that the nvidia works better with the i7 as a combination. Just my two cents.

Cheers!
