su4100 vs su7300 which one will perform better?trying to decide between the toshiba t135-s1310 which comes with the su4100 processor and the asus ul30a-x5 with su7300

Alan Chau says: I've heard this laptop supports virtulization, but you will need to run windows 7 professional or ultimate. Can someone confirm if the SU7300 supports XP mode? SU7300 supports Virtualization, and hence XP mode, IF the PC runs the 64-bit version of Windows 7 Pro, Ultimate or Enterprise (but not Home Premium).http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=42791

SU7300 is way better since it supports Intel Virtualization and has an extra 1 MB L2 Cache. Performance depends a lot on L2 Cache. I would go with SU7300 for an extra $50

Asus is a New brandvaround here, but the specs are much nices than toshibait looks that the processor is pretty much the same

Hi,I have some Intel test comparison charts...- Itunes, the SU7300 and SU4100 perfomed equal- Excel, the SU7300 performed marginally better- for digital encoding and Photoshop, the SU7300 performed significantly better

You need an Intel virtualization enabled CPU if you want to run XPpro with Win7pro for older product compatibility.I personally have not found much need to do so. My daughter is running Win7 Home Premium 32bit and everything works except my older Leadtek WinXP Deluxe tv card. The card works with Vista drivers but a single setting is now grayed out. This is an important tuning setting for cable in my area. I'm checking into that issue after Christmas.

I bought a NV55C49u almost a year ago. I really like it. I think it outperforms my Dell laptop I just bought last month.

Assuming we're talking about the same Samsung 9 (TIV Book 9 Plus NP940X3G-K04US 13.3-Inch Touchscreen Laptop; $1,799)I would go with this Asus for three reasons:1) The Samsung's i7 4500U (1.8GHz) is significantly slower than the i7 4558U processor (2.8GHz) that this Asus carries.2) The Samsung's Intel HD Graphics 4400 just can push the same graphics that the Asus' Intel Iris 5100.3) The durability and style points of the Gorilla Glass 3 solid top and pseudo-ceramic housing (which is silky smooth) of this Asus scores more points in the design and "oooooooOOO! Shiny...!" categories for me than the aluminum body of the Samsung 9.You get comparable sound out of both of these machines.Hope this helps. Cheers!

I've owned the 500GB model since August. I bought it as a travel machine, but it has become my main machine. Have had no troubles. I also have a Lenovo 15". The Asus screen is so great; the size so compact, the RAID0 fast start so responsive, is it is what I am on almost all the time. Looking for improvements -- I would like 16GB of memory for big files and a 10 keypad for numeric entry. I'm happy with this -- but watching for Asus to add those feature and I will buy Asus again. My first Asus laptop, but by comparison HP and Lenovo are appliances.

Well, there are a few reviews now! There's also a review of a similar earlier model at pcmag.com. The A53E-EH71 has an upgraded processor and a USB 3.0 port. --Also, the leading product ratings magazine rated the Asus U56E-BAL7 as being very quick and suitable for moderate gaming. It has the slower core i5 processor, and the same integrated graphics (Intel 3000 HD) as the Asus A53E-EH71. ; )http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2389349,00.asp

Difficult question. I've never owned a Toshiba, and most people giving reviews here will likely be biased toward their own machine. I will say that a bit light research indicates: (1) ASUS NVIDIA GPU is later generation than Toshiba's and has an extra Gb of RAM, so you're going to get better graphical performance with ASUS; (2) the difference in i7-4700HQ (Asus) versus i700MQ (Toshiba) is negligible, per CPUBoss.com (slightly higher overclock capacity with Asus, if you're into that kind of thing). For the price difference, it might make sense to take a closer look at Toshiba. That said, this is my second Asus and they've both been amazing machines, so I have no regrets staying with this manufacturer. Difficult question.

Frankly the difference is quite negligible between them. That said, it depends on who built it. If it's stock, I'd assume it's 5400. If it's custom, ask the builder.And, you can upgrade this laptop with an msata, which is faster than 7200 by a long shot. So, don't think that the stock build is the end-all-be-all for this machine.

The Asus would be my choice. I've hadToshiba laptops and they have been much lower quality on my experience.

Well in reality there both good, but if you asked me id go with the i5 if I had the money, the i5 operates on 2.7ghz and the Intel Celeron well 1.9ghz. Right of the bat you can see the difference. Now if the money is not available for i5, I would not hesitate to take the Toshiba, its not that is slow or bad, its just there are better laptops out there. I hope this answered it.

Dear soumik: you have to replace the generic ram and it would be able to upgrade up to 8Gb 1333 Mhz ( http://support.toshiba.com/support/staticContentDetail?contentId=4005071&isFromTOC;Link=false). Second to tear apart is relative what is easy or hard for you, anyways here a link with a small tutorial (http://www.laptopscreen.com/English/model/Toshiba/SATELLITE~C55-A5105/) I hope this would help.

Hey ASUS I have a question.I am ready to purchase the UL30A-X5, but I worry about the issues with the Wifi dropping signals. This is a dealbreaker for me as I will be using this laptop for wireless websurfing.Any comment on the problems people are having? Is it the atheros card? How can I get a unit with the the Intel card?Thanks for all your help and I really like ASUS products. Please don't make me have to buy a HP DM3.

I don't believe there are any differences besides the clock speed. Everything seems identical (same chipset, RAM size/speed, disk model, wireless model, etc) and the only difference the i7-4510u has is an increased clock multiplier. I can say that 1.8 GHz base clock has proven more than enough for anything I need from this computer (read: educational Solidworks, light games/transcoding, productivity, 50+ tabs), and combined with the ssd and ample RAM, I doubt the difference would be significant unless you had heavy single-threaded workloads. It seems that this model has been marked down more because people rarely look at the clock speeds, and this is the cheapest i7 model (also the cheapest with 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD, my constraints); the market for the other one would be more professional.

Hi John, thanks. i'm close to buying this. Are you happy with your purchase? I heard the trackpad is not as responsive so now leaning towards the Toshiba T115.

The 1810T has in addition:- HDMI,- Bluetooth,- Gigabit ethernet,- Extra 2GB RAM for a total of 4GB.- It is also 0.2lbs lighter.I would still go for the UL20A though because of ASUS build quality, metallic cover and overall design if it had the first two, i.e. HDMI and Bluetooth. For now I'm waiting...

To be honest I prefer the i7 but it depends on which it is I have an ideapad. It has i5.but it's maxed out at only 4 gigs
