Hi, I ordered ASUS K52F notebook today and want to install Win7 64 from USB flash-drive. I was just wondering if anyone here knew if this model’s BIOS support boot from USB stick… Many thanks

I need a 13.3 laptop that I can carry around, but it MUST HAVE powerful GPU 1920X1200 or 1920X1020, nothing less than that. I want the full HD. The reason is I have a 22” full HD Asus monitor, so I want to be able to plug the laptop into the big screen and work that way when at my desk. I also...

Guys, seems you got it all wrong, I appologize for that. By "VGA" I wanted to reffer to video-card, so I should have put "GPU", not VGA. Off course the monitor has both HDMI and DVI connector. So, just to clarify, I need a 13.3 laptop with a graphics card (GPU) powerful ehough to run my 22"...

Damn! OTOH there are Gigabyte P55A-UD4, P55A-UD5 and P55A-UD6 models, although substantially more expensive. Anyway, thanks for this info, I really appreciate it.

That's great to know, thanks indeed. Nowever, the P55A-UD3 is not listed in the store where I buy. They have P55-UD3 AND P55-UD3R... how about these 2? BTW, what1s the diference between "A" and non A models, what does that "A" stands for...?

My answer is primarily on the $$$ part - If you are willing to spend $2,500, you can put in 128GB Corsair SSD, actually 2 of them in RAID to increase speed substantially (Those Raptors are nowhere near it) and you can also put 12GBs of DDR3 for the bragging rights...

"AUSA"... wtf...? :o

Would be great to see what are the manufacturers saying... are there any official news from Asus/Gigabyte on the issue...?

Thanks, The Foxconn socket issue nonetheless scares the sh_t out of me, as I literally building the system from the scratch (my last desktop PC being a Pentium III from '98; I've been using laptops ever since). I am paying altogether 1,500$ and surely don't want to end up with fried CPU due to...

Thanks... BTW, what's the deal with those Foxconn connectors...? Is it really that big of an issue on 1156...?
