I have a recommendation for a ASUS N56VM-AB71 for photo editing. This is a DB71. What is the difference?

The only real difference I can see is that the DB71 is a touchscreen, while I am not seeing that specified anywhere for the AB71. The specs look very similar otherwise. It is a good machine, for the price (and it being a laptop) it is hard to beat.

No. Popular new model ASUS N550JV-DB72T is what you should consider.Since I don't want a hint of glare/reflection I prefer this non-touchscreen model.

If its not listed then no. I made that mistake once, they list the correct models and there are vast differences across the dv7 line of laptops.

The newer model of the N56 series is the N550 series. At this time I haven't seen an AMD based N550. I don't think the sales were all that strong for the AMD based N56 though. If you go on notebookreview forums there's almost no posts about it. I'm typing this message on an N56DP btw. It's a great little machine, but the default wifi card is crap. Got an intel 6250 on order to replace that. But the sound system, backlit keyboard, 1080p screen etc make it a great machine otherwise. Got 16Gig in mine and running ubuntu on it and am very very happy with it so far.

It's good for video editing and photo editing, it's not the highest quality card though. Great for everyday use though.

The only difference is 500GB of non SD - extra storage and 16GB of exrra RAM. The Qosmio's are known to over heat and my ASUS (so far) hasn't overheated after 8 hours of continuous game play. The system runs quiet too. Despite the the fact it's pretty heavy (though not too heavy), the laptop is a solid choice. Also, the Nvidia 880M (4GB) is a very very good card and you can't go wrong with that. I would have to look at the screen definition. However my ROG is HD and I assume the Samsung is too. Good luck with your purchase!

I did my homework and these were the two I came down to as well. Honestly, I think you'll be pleased with either. I haven't had the Asus in hand; I went with the Toshiba, as that's where my heart kept going back to. They're very close, feature/spec-wise. (I trust you're not expecting 720p+ video, because that does not play well on most netbooks.) Asus should have longer battery life, and it has built-in bluetooth. (Bluetooth USB adapter runs $20-25 otherwise.) The Toshiba is downright beautiful, and its texture won't pick up fingerprints. I don't know what the Asus screen is like; the Toshiba screen is excellent. I can vouch for Toshiba's multi-taskability, though I don't doubt Asus' capability at the same. I really think they'll both be loveable; what does your heart say?

make the ram 8GB and you will be flying! otherwise works pretty good with photoshop but i think that it will work as good with engineering design like autodesk, solid works and etc. You can really feel the difference between celeron or pentium proc (i wont even mention AMD...)

The fan issue regarding the X4 I believe is actually moot because since the reviews that stated any fan issues, we changed the case and went with a much more efficient and ventilated case, as well as having an extra case fan now. There is room for a second... and 3rd (I just checked) DVD drive and is this the best we have for Photoshop work... no. Our technical best would be the AAC-T7S but that is not available on Amazon yet. We currently have a model called the AAC-X8 which we have in stock that would fulfill photoshop work VERY well. It has an 8 core 8320 processor, 16GBs RAM, a 2 TB hard drive and everything else that come standard (card reader, DVD drive, 3 year warranty.) We are working on getting that up and running on Amazon's catalog.

For those of you interested in the successor model, the Acer Aspire One AO756 with Celeron processor has the same slide-forward, easy-off bottom panel for acces to RAM and hard drive for easy RAM upgrade and HD to SSD conversion. I just purchased the 2gb RAM, 320FB HD edition for $279 from Best Buy and added a second 2gb RAM module - lo and behold I discovered the mobo has 2 RAM slots! Didn't try going beyond 4 Gb though

I have no idea. However, I am extremely dissatisfied with my ASUS. Have already returned it to factory three times for repairs. Now they're considering replacing my brand new laptop with a refurbished one. Customer service is in south America and they stink. Stay away from ASUS if you can.

Wow, I'm lucky I bought mine last week for $875 before shipping. It's a great notebook! However, I've been doing some searching and looks like this might be a good contender: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834127100.Don't get me wrong, I have no regrets. The U30JC-A1 runs my Steam games gets my portable gaming crave fixed and it runs Lightroom well.

The only thing I have not tried on this Laptop is Video Editing. I have done everything else with no problems. Hope this answers your question.

That's not the same model. That's the single GPU version of it. There's a second page of models of this laptop.

I have both, and the 5800 is better for what I do. It has more memory. Higher level language. More functionality overall.

Hi, Mark. Your reply is very helpful to me. I'll looking at getting a small notebook in the future and was hoping to be able to handle some graphics and web editing without too much of a slow down. I'm glad to know you're happy running Illustrator on the NC10. How is the graphics card with an external monitor? Is the 2nd monitor limited to 1024x600, or can it handle higher res on the external?Thanks!
