| 766296 | 2009-04-19 06:50:00 | I’m in Aus at the moment and looking for a new Laptop. The choice so far is between an Asus Pro50GL-AP236C and an ASUS Pro50GL-AP333C. I’ve googled myself silly but can’t find the specifications for either. Even the Asus website hasn’t heard of either of them yet. :confused: Given that I’d like to know just what it is I may purchase can anybody point me in the right direction or pass an opinion? :thanks |

| 766298 | 2009-04-19 07:18:00 | Try www.thegoodguys.com.au according to them the only difference is 2.16GHz CPU and 3GB Ram for the AP333C and " Price available in store" | jinja_thom (4306) | ||
| 766299 | 2009-04-19 07:32:00 | My guess is that it is now obselete in NZ and they are replacing it with a new series. Its still available in US if you still want it, but you could probably find an alternative. www.shopbot.com.au Blam |

| 766300 | 2009-04-19 07:34:00 | Additional info because I didn't realise they were so wide spread, go to the Toowoomba store and select computers/notebooks from the products list. | jinja_thom (4306) | ||
| 766301 | 2009-04-19 09:37:00 | How soon are you going to purchase? because i can full spec for you, but you will have to wait till monday. |

| 766302 | 2009-04-19 10:00:00 | Thanks everyone and a special big thanks to Jen who somehow found exactly what I couldn’t. :blush: Jen, I’d be only too happy to buy in NZ if I could. I’ve got a mate looking for one too. (although he may have purchased whilst I’ve been away) The thing is the Aussie prices a fairly sharp and I’ve found you can save enough to pay you airfare if you do it right. ;) Yes jijja thom, the Good Guys is where I’m looking. I’ve dealt with them before and they’re there to do business. Dick Smith had a special on a nice little Canon Digi Cam but when I went to buy one I was told there was only three or four on special and it didn’t include the store I was at. :eek: So my daughter rang the Good Guys who had them on the shelf for the normal retail (+$100 on the special price) and they matched Dick Smiths special price, plus threw in a camera case, four rechargeable batteries and a charger for the batteries. Hooked me. :) Anyway, the specifications supplied look fairly sharp to me, how about you guys? :thanks |

| 766303 | 2009-04-19 10:23:00 | I reckon the CPU is too slow. You'd want at least a clock speed of 2.1-2.4ghz these days IMO. Hard drive is good, nice and big What will it be used for? Blam |

| 766304 | 2009-04-19 10:50:00 | Jen... why not recommend the machine you and others suggested to me? It's brilliant, especially at the price. | Greg (193) | ||
| 766305 | 2009-04-19 11:48:00 | Jen... why not recommend the machine you and others suggested to me? It's brilliant, especially at the price. True..the M51VR is also a good option. Both the M51VR and www.dexternights.com are around the 1500 mark but here are their pros: M51VR: +Faster graphics card +Has both DVI and HDMI while PRO50GL-AP236C only has hmdi PRO50GL-AP236C +Newer processor, uses 45nm core instead of 65nm (www.dexternights.com) therefore faster +Larger hard drive(320gb vs 250gb) So basicaly for gaming and cad work you want the M51VR For typical normal needs, then get the PRO50GL-AP236C HTH Blam |
