ecth Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I am currently looking for a nice Notebook with an A10- or A8-APU. As I want a Full-HD-screen I'm very interested in the Asus U38N. I read some tests of the U38DT with a dGPU (HD 8550m) and they say it throttles a lot. Under load their A8 went below stock-frequency and stayed somewhere at 1,6GHz.But maybe the dGPU is heating the 13"-notebook to much.Does anybody own a U38N with the ULV A10- or A8-APU without any other gpus? What are your experiences? Does it throttle? Can you undervolt? Can you overclock or lock a turbo-state? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momal12 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 If the new laptop meets needs the current one is incapable of doing, then I'd go for it if possible. But the G75 series is fairly recent and the new CPU and chipset in the latest model aren't too much faster. Maybe if the GPU was a magnitude faster, had a better LCD screen, or other features, I'd take the price hit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtpepper5987 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 This may or may not be helpful I had an asus NV500 with a 610m that lasted 2 years before I upgraded and gave away. A solid cpu from a solid company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
