Laptop Asus X44H

About  this item ,  I bought a laptop Asus X44H. Made in China.  Processor 3!, HD 270 ( especification 320) etc.  I reviewed   for information I   looked  that the same PC is in Amazon with 500 HD more processor 5!  in the same price, and  the  item  in best buy  online said  500 HD.    I like this  laptop, and  there is option of storage,  but  I think  that    it  is'n  the top of  the best buy.   Deception!  and no true.

Double check the model number in your comparisons. Laptops are quick and easy to make so all manufactures will release up to five separate models within one series. Each one is either slightly different (processor, hard drive etc), or not different at all (newer one replacing the "old" one of six months).
The model number on the box will say something like X44H-BBR13, X44H-BBR9, X44H-BBR16... and so on.
Unfortunately, this is something the average customer has no way of knowing, so your confusion and anger at the idea of being overcharged is completely understandable.

  • Larger battery for Asus Laptop Model X44H

    I can't an answer from Asus after many attempts.
    Does anyone know if I can purchase a 6 cell notebook battery that will fit my Asus Laptop Model X44H-BBR7?
    The life on the 4 cell one is less than 3 hours.
    Thank you.

  • External monitor with Optimus Laptop (ASUS EeePC 1015PN) does it work?

    I am thinking about buying an additional monitor to use as an external display for my EeePC 1015PN. At the moment I use my laptop with a script that deactivates the Nvidia card at booting (not Bumblebee, but basically the same). Now I have read that the HDMI port only works when the Nvidia card is activated, at least in Windows. So I was wondering if it is the same for Linux, anybody here using a system like this?
    I guess in the worst case I have to use the VGA port, since I am guessing it is working with the Intel graphics. But I want to be sure before I buy a new monitor and then find out that there is no support for it (yet?).
    The only other topic I have found about this was this one: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=125207
    But the topic starter only mentiones VGA and DVI port, which both seem to work, but no HDMI. At least it is an indication that I possibly can use the VGA port with the Intel graphics card.

    That is correct.
    JonathanArcher wrote:So if I manage to get bumblebee running, I should be able to connect a monitor via HDMI?
    Unfortunately, no. You see, the way Bumblebee works is it sets up a second X server for the nvidia card and then VirtualGL is used to copy whatever the nvidia card draws there to the first X server which runs on the intel card. While it's possible to configure that second server to use the HDMI output, your mouse and keyboard are bound to the first X server.
    Does your machine have a mini-DisplayPort? The asus 1215n does, and it's mini-DisplayPort is connected to the intel card, so one can use that for the external monitor.
    JonathanArcher wrote:I am just asking since from my search for a suitable monitor I found out that very few and only older models come with DVI-ports where you can use a VGA to DVI adapter (DVI-I, if I remember correctly).
    That doesn't work actually. What works is the other way around - DVI-I output on the card into a VGA monitor. It's because DVI-I can output either an analog VGA or a digital DVI signal. But a VGA output is always only analog, not possible to convert to digital. Not with an adapter. There are converter boxes, but they have their price.
    Don't modern monitors have VGA inputs anymore? It's not ideal, but it is a picture.

  • Unable to suspend laptop - Asus G51J

    Hello,
    Today I installed Arch on my Asus G51J laptop, and am unable to suspend with pm-suspend or s2disk. The screen switches to a blank terminal with cursor blinking in the top-right and sits there indefinitely.
    I am using nVIDIA's binary drivers.

    I had similar problem.
    All right guys, it seems that I have finally figured it out. I did following.
    pacman -S uswsusp
    Add the uresume hook to the list of mkinitcpio in the file /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
    HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata uresume filesystems"
    then rebuild the init image and reboot
    mkinitcpio -p kernel26
    reboot
    After bootting you can use following command
    pm-suspend --quirk-vbe-post --quirk-vbemode-restore --quirk-vbestate-restore
    or
    echo 'ADD_PARAMETERS="--quirk-vbe-post --quirk-vbemode-restore --quirk-vbestate-restore"' >> /etc/pm/config.d/module
    pm-suspend
    Good luck!

  • Why is Firefox 6.0 very very slow on my new laptop (Asus G74) under Windows 7 x64 ?

    Hello everyone ! Today I've received my new laptop. An powerfull G74. The first thing I have done was to install Microsoft updates. And then, install Firefox. And then.. waited about 20 sec for beeing able to type something in the url bar. Same thing about tabs. Open a new tab take about 10 secs. I Don't know what I need to do to have the same speed as on my old laptop with Firefox... :/

    Hope this helps a bit

  • IPhone 4S doesnt show charge symbol and charges very slowly on brand new MacBook Pro. Not recognised by iTunes. Charges fine on Asus laptop. iPod charges fine on Macbook Pro...

    Hi!
    I'm trying to fix a problem I'm having with my iPhone 4S and MacBook Pro.
    I did manage to connect it initially and set it up with XCode as well as iTunes.
    Today I have spent two hours trying to connect it to my MacBook Pro and I have so far found the following...
    iPod 2G - charges from MacBook Pro, Wall Charger, Asus Laptop (works with both my Apple USB cables)
    iPhone 4S - doesnt charge from MacBook Pro, but does from Wall Charger and Asus Laptop
                      - Asus Laptop running Linux Mint recognises the iPhone as a device with 'lsusb' and you can browse photos etc
                      - MacBook Pro doesn't recognise the iPhone as a device with the 'systemprofiler' equivalent of lsusb
                      - Interestingly, despite the charging icon not showing, the iPhone either maintains charge or very, very slowly charges
                         when connected to the MacBook Pro.
    Any ideas as to what might be wrong? I've tried both the USB ports on the MacBook Pro and no difference. I've tried the 6 ports
    on my old Asus laptop and they all work fine!
    Thanks for your help!

    OK.. Went to the Apple Store - they could either book an appointment with a Genius.. or send the phone for
    testing and repair. Found out I have a 2 year warranty on it so have a year left.
    My research has led me to assume that the USB 2.0 function of my iPhone was faulty from the day I got it (it kept disconnecting the reconnecting but transferred data fast), but soon stopped doing that and ran at about 1MB/s - USB 1.1 speed - and has done this ever since.
    The MacBook Pro somehow is trying to use the USB2.0 function and is not letting the phone fall back to USB 1.1.
    To test my theory I found an old USB 1.1 hub... plugged it into the MacBook Pro... then plugged the iPhone
    into that. Job done. Charging fine, recognised every single time I connect, and only took a few secs to send over my XCode app to the phone and runs fine! I guess this works as the hub forces the iPhone and MacBook both to USB1.1 mode which then works fine! Will just use it like this for a few months then send it in at an opportune moment (want to get some apps out before I lose my device for repair for a while!)
    I will in the next week or so test my iPhone on my friend's MacBook Pro (we bought them the same day but I didn't get the Retina cos I like to be able to upgrade RAM, Hard Drive, and replace battery when it wears out). I will also test their iPhones on my MacBook Pro to see whether it really is the phone or the MacBook!
    PS I will get WiFi Sync running since transferring 60GB of data over USB1.1 won't be fun... will do a full factory reset on the phone just in case there is an issue there - will post results of this too!

  • Can This Laptop Be Used For Premier Pro CS6?

    Developed an interest in learning to edit video but have become confused in reading all of the posts about what is the true minimum hardware requirement/setup, as compared to what is listed as System Requirements by Adobe.  Probably best to start with my initial goals.
    Here is what I was looking at doing as this journey begins:
    Purchased Creative Suite 6 Production Premium Classroom in a Book(CIB) after reading a review it would be a better start than Premier Pro CIB, which I plan on getting, if one has no experience in this field.  During research feel that I would like to become a subscriber to the Creative Cloud as there are a number of products I would like to learn and use.  Basically, I am hopeful that I may use my current laptop for the beginning of my education and further down the road look at getting a more powerful system as knowledge/skills/requirements increase.  Initial video I wouild like to work with is that received from family members smart phones and will be looking at purchasing a simple video camera for short interviews and brief presentantions.  Will likely desire uploading some completed projects to the web.
    Current Hardware:
    Laptop:  Asus N53SV
    OS: Windows 7 64bit
    CPU: Intel i7-2670QM  2.2GHz Cores=4  Threads=8
    L3 Cache: 6mb
    RAM: 6MB
    Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 3000, NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M 1024 MB
    OpenGL: 3.1.0
    Display: 1920 X 1080
    Drives: (1) HD, Seagate 500GB @ 7,200 RPM partitioned as C: 186GB with OS and programs,  D: 254GB some documents
                  E: Optical DVD-RW
                  F: USB 3 connected 2 TB Seagate GoFlex External HD
    If this laptop can be used with current hardware, I wouild sincerely appreciate any suggestions for how to best utilize what is available to begin learning Premier Pro CS6.  As I will not have any time schedules that will have to be met I can accept that this may not be the ideal system.  Just hoping it can be a start.
    If any further information is required about the laptop please let me know and Thank You for your time with this question.

    That's not a bad setup at all to get started with small projects.
    We all have different budgets and patience. You may be OK with what you have. And if it seems too sluggish - your rig would be for me , the following would help Premiere Pro performance:
    - increase RAM to 16GB (about $140 per eBay pricing from a seller with high ratings a few minutes ago)
    - add another drive; my favorite choice with your laptop would be a Seagate Momentus 750gb drive installed in a NEWmodeUS.com optical bay caddy (slips into your laptop)
    Regards,
    Jim
    Exactly what I have done, and it is great.
    You can get the caddy here:

    I had this setup for my old HP and have a caddy ready to install for my new Dell Precision as well. You can either get an external house for your DVD drive, or get an external one - they are quite cheap.

  • [SOLVED] Asus 900 : ALSA plays sound, but microphone doesn't work

    Hi,
    This week I installed Arch Linux (kernel 3.1.8-1-ARCH) on my Asus 900 with HDA Intel Realtek ALC662 rev1 sound card. The wiki and google and existing forum posts have been good for most issues, but I'm stumped on ALSA configuration. So here's my first forum post for advice.
    I configured sound OK following advice in the wiki and twiddling settings with alsamixer, through both the internal speaker and through the headphones, but I can't get internal or external microphone to work. I'm testing with:
    arecord -d 3 junk.wav
    then when I play back via:
    aplay junk.wav
    there is only soft static (with audible soft clicks at the start and end).
    (Other files like /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav play fine.)
    alsamixer recognizes and reports my HDA Intel card, Realtek ALC662 rev1.
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Alsa has several suggestions of options for the snd-hda-intel module.
    Different pages suggest different places, which was confusing until I discovered that they can go in any file in /etc/modprobe.d so I'm putting them in /etc/modprobe.d/snd-hda-intel.conf .
    I added
    options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1
    with no luck.
    I have tried various model=XXX parameters (based on many suggestions found googling for Asus 900, alsa, ALC662, etc problems):
    options snd-hda-intel model=auto
    options snd-hda-intel model=asus
    options snd-hda-intel model=asus-laptop
    options snd-hda-intel model=laptop
    options snd-hda-intel model=ref
    options snd-hda-intel model=asus-mode1
    options snd-hda-intel model=asus-mode2
    options snd-hda-intel model=asus-mode8
    and I do
    rmomd snd-hda-intel && modprobe snd-hda-intel
    after each modification, which makes a little click in the speakers as the module is restarted.
    I don't know what the differences between asus-mode1, asus-mode2 etc are supposed to be - I've failed to find clear documentation about them, but AFAIK they seem to be the only valid model choices, unlike stuff like laptop, asus, etc.
    I find asus-mod1 etc at https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/ … _realtek.c and various other webpages.
    I found they vary the items presented by alsamixer but none of the 8 asus-modeN values helped me get the mic working. (The only obvious change was asus-mode8 made my headphone stop working, unlike asus-mod1 through asus-mod7.)
    I looked at /var/log/kernel.log when doing the snd-hda-intel module reload for various values of model= and they all look similar to this:
    snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1b.0: PCI INT A disabled
    snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1b.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
    snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1b.0: irq 43 for MSI/MSI-X
    snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1b.0: setting latency timer to 64
    hda_code: ALC662 rev1: BIOS auto-probing
    input: HDA Digital PCBeep as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1b.0/input/input24
    input: HDA Intel Mic as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1b.0/sound/card0/input25
    input: HDA Intel Headphone as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1b.0/sound/card0/input26
    (Note the emphasized line about BIOS auto-probing only comes up when not using model= or when trying various suggested model values that don't seem to be actually defined for ALC662, e.g. stuff like model=asus, etc.)
    Here's a list of alsamixer settings I used for various models. (Note I also tried muting and raising various higher boost levels, and when there's an Internal Mic or F-Mic item I tried various combinations. The following are just what seem the most plausible settings to me.)

    I'm not interested in doing anything fancy (e.g. mixing multiple sources or whatever), I just want basic mic functionality.

    Has anyone got sound recording working on an Asus 900 with HDA Intel Realtek ALC662 rev1 ...?
    Thanks for any help! (And for feedback whether this post gave too much info or not enough, or other suggestions for posting such requests. Sorry if this was too long, but it seemed better to err on the side of too much info...)

    Hello,
    I don't have your soundcard but maybe the following information is helpful, though:
    Install the linux-docs package, then you have some information about your soundcard drivers in "/usr/src/linux-*/Documentation/sound/alsa/". Exspecially "HD-Audio.txt" and "HD-Audio-Models.txt" might be important. In the Models file it is stated that just the "asus-mode*" are legitimate model parameters for your soundcard and in the HD-Autio.txt file it is more or less said that trial and error the modules is the way to go to find the "correct module". Further there is a section
    Capture Problems
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    The capture problems are often because of missing setups of mixers.
    Thus, before submitting a bug report, make sure that you set up the
    mixer correctly.  For example, both "Capture Volume" and "Capture
    Switch" have to be set properly in addition to the right "Capture
    Source" or "Input Source" selection.  Some devices have "Mic Boost"
    volume or switch.
    When the PCM device is opened via "default" PCM (without pulse-audio
    plugin), you'll likely have "Digital Capture Volume" control as well.
    This is provided for the extra gain/attenuation of the signal in
    software, especially for the inputs without the hardware volume
    control such as digital microphones.  Unless really needed, this
    should be set to exactly 50%, corresponding to 0dB -- neither extra
    gain nor attenuation.  When you use "hw" PCM, i.e., a raw access PCM,
    this control will have no influence, though.
    It's known that some codecs / devices have fairly bad analog circuits,
    and the recorded sound contains a certain DC-offset.  This is no bug
    of the driver.
    So check your mixer,  here and here are nice tutorials.
    Greetings

  • HELP - Choose mid specs laptop for video editing in Premiere and After Effects

    Hello there,
    Basically I have DSLR Camera (Canon 600D) which I use to film in Full HD (1080P 50fps) for my movies (short plays and medium plays).
    So, I am thinking to buy a laptop with main porpouse to edit my videos in Premiere CS6 and After Effects CS6 and I would like to ask you guys if you can help me choose one. Maximum I could spend is 1000€.
    So, I don't care how much time my laptop will take to export movies, but what is most important to me is smooth editing ( fast pre-rendering). I know that pre-render / in software render uses Nvidia CUDA cores to acelerate the process.
    I choosed these two laptops:
    ASUS K750JB:
    Intel i7 4700HQ 2.4 - 3.4GhZ
    12GB RAM 1600mHz
    Nvidia GT 740M 2GB DDR3 384 Cuda Cores <<< ---- can this one do the job done?
    1TB 5400RPM <<<--- I am thinking on buying 60GB SSD extra for OS and Adobe Programs
    17.2'' Screen 1600x900
    Price: 799€
    HP Envy 15-j011sp:
    Intel i7 4700MQ 2.4 - 3.4GhZ
    8GB RAM 1600mHz <<<---- I could buy 4GB extra
    Nvidia GT 740M 2GB DDR3 384 Cuda Cores
    1TB 5400RPM <---- I could buy 60GB SSD extra
    15.6'' Screen 1920x1080
    Price: 810€
    So, as you saw, Two of these laptops have 740M Graphic card. Asus is parcially alluminun, but  HP is totally alluminum.
    Do you think these two are good for edit videos from my DSLR camera? As I said, I don't care how much time it takes to render movie. What is most important to me is editing smooth experience.
    Thank you!

    Do either of these laptops allow you to install a second drive?  This ASUS G750 that I am using now does and it made a world of difference when I cloned the OS/Applications disk from the 1 TB 5400 rpm drive to a 128 GB fast SSD and installed a second 256 GB SSD (both are Samsung 840 PRO SSD's).  Without doing that I am quite sure you will be disappointed.especially with your media from a DSLR.  See the excellant article by Harm on laptops

  • Which new Laptop for Photoshop CS4

    My present laptop (Asus 3053WXMi)has proven to be too slow for the new CS4. I have been doing some research into laptops but it is almost a science trying to work out which is best. I have been looking at the following possibilites and would like feedback as to your opinions and other options.
    SONY VAIO FW21Z C2D 2.53 4GB/500 BLU-RAY/RW 16.4#VHP
    SONY VAIO AW11Z C2D 2.53 4GB/640 BLU-RAY/RW 18.4#VHP (more expensive!)
    ASUS G71V-7S024G 17" WXGA+ (powerful but ugly)
    FSC Amilo Xi 3650-006 (Only 32 bit system??????)
    Do any of you have any feedback? I live in Denmark so unusual laptops like Alienware cannot be bought here.
    I realise that 4 GB ram is a must and I have only looked at powerful 2.53 GHz processors but the graphic cards are really confusing me. I work in 2d in Photoshop creating artwork.
    (I would like to have a Blue Ray too that writes so I can make extra backup of my precious files).
    Thank you :-)

    The HP dv7tqe has the ability for 2 HDD and has the new Sandy Bridge 2630QM i7, but the downfall is no USB 3.0, not a huge problem till I want something that uses it,
    Which would be? Unless you plan to use an external disk as your primary working drive this is a non-issue and I'm sure you could by a PC Card USB3 exteneder, if ever needed. Following your logic, nobody should buy a notebook before 2012, just because until then Apple have exclusive rights to Thunderbolt, which of course is utter nonsense. Would an average user ever even exploit this theoretical bandwidth? Same for your USB 3. So in fairness, buy what you need now, not what you may need next year...
    and it has the Radeon HD 6570 with 1 gig of DDR5 ram.  This video card isn't that good, but I was wondering if it was good enough to use with Photoshop and illustrator.
    *LOL* You know, 10 years ago people would have killed for it. You have a completely wrong impression of how much PS uses OpenGL features. that card wil ldo just fine, as long as its driver and configuration are compatible with PS.

  • Asus G60 upgrade?

    I have the G60VX-RBBX05 and I was wondering if I could upgrade the harddrive space in the laptop. I read somewhere that I could upgrade it to 1TB, if so how much would the Geek Squad charge to do all of this for me?
    Since you no longer have it on your website, I can't link the product to this post.
    http://reviews.cnet.com/laptops/asus-g60vx-rbbx05/​4505-3121_7-33776097.html
    ^^the link above; however, is the laptop in question.
    Thanks in advance

    Right now, I don't think there are any upcoming capacity limitations we're anywhere close to hitting with SATA, so your ability to upgrade is limited by what's available.
    I've only seen two 2.5" 1TB drives in existence, and both are only 5400 RPM drives, you will likely trade capacity for speed.  They might also be thicker than standard drives.
    The Asus will be able to take any standard height 2.5" laptop hard drive with a SATA interface.  Also, with your particular laptop you can purchase a secondary hard drive carrier from Asus that will let you install a second hard drive and put it in a RAID configuration with your existing one.  (new drive needs to be the same capacity).  The bracket is only available from Asus and is frequently out of stock - http://estore.asus.com/shop/item.asp?itemid=4410&c​atid=728
    Installing a hard drive is pretty easy, the hardest part is transferring your data.

  • ASUS G73JH-RBBX05

    Can someone help me out?
    I want to know if this laptop :
    Asus - Laptop with Intel® Core™ i7 Processor - Black
     G73JH-RBBX05
    Will be available on August on this Best Buy store:
    Laredo TX 7905 San Dario Ave,  78045-7253
    If its possible to know of course..  Thanks!

    I don't think there is any way to tell.  Heck, Asus refreshes their product lineups frequently enough that it may be discontinued and replaced with a different model by then.
