Question 1

What is the difference between the Asus •	Intel Core i7 3630QM (2.40GHz)  and this one A-Series A10-5750M (2.50GHz)? Thank you!

Accepted Answer

The main difference between AMD and Intel is price, while Intel is technically better, they both get the job done regardless and AMD is much cheaper so I prefer AMD over Intel because of that. Intel chips run a little cooler, they usually have slightly less power consumption and so on if you want to get even more technical, but at the end of the day, the two chipsets you mentioned will perform almost exactly the same, so I suggest saving some cash by going to AMD.

Question 2

The specs say this has 1x USB 2.0 port and 1x USB 3.0 port.  But the picture shows 1x USB 2.0 and 2x USB 3.0 port.  Which is correct?

Accepted Answer

I can confirm that it has two USB 3.0 ports and one USB 2.0 port.  The USB 3.0 ports are on the left side of the laptop between the Ethernet port and the microphone/headset audio jack.  The single USB 2.0 port is on the right side of the laptop between the front of the laptop and the DVD drive.

Question 3

How long does the battery last, without relying on power saver?

Accepted Answer

On power saver doesn't last more than 2.5 h.
if you need laptop with good battery life avoid this one.
It warns when power is 10% and than is 2-3 min till power drop down at 7% and than turns off.

Question 4

Does this computer have word and powerpoint and exel? is it a gaming laptop?

Computers do not normally include Microsoft Office, however, you can purchase it separately.

As far as gaming is concerned it can play most modern games on Low and older games at Medium (including some new less demanding games).  Overall it is entry level gaming computer

Question 5

Does it work well with games? Ex. Prop hunt, battlefield, counter strike?

I have played BF4 and Crysis 3 on it. As long as it's plugged in it does quite well at moderate to high settings.  The battery alone is only good 30 minutes or so.

Probably the stock video card drivers from AMD.

Question 8

Is this a brand new or refurbished laptop?

Accepted Answer

It is new. It would state if it was a refurb but mine did come new so don't fear

Question 9

Has anyone tried stuffing more than 8GB of RAM into it? I know what MAX RAM says, but that is often wrong.

Has anyone tried?

Accepted Answer

It has 2 slots and both are filled with 4GB sticks. The reported max is 8GB on every tool I tried and I didn't have 16GB to test. The ram is also the Maximum speed for the motherboard so no upgrade there. There is no access at the bottom of the laptop. you have to take the whole thing apart to change the wifi card (which i did) RAM or HDD

Question 10

For everyone saying this computer can run wow and bf4 maxxed out what drivers are you using for the video card i can run wow on
high with shadows liquid detail ssao on low and view distance on good with enviro details on good @ 1080p.

is there a way to unlock more power cuz i cant find it?

Accepted Answer

Use the latest drivers from the Asus site, NOT from the AMD website. I noticed dual graphics was not working when using generic AMD catalyst deivers, and received a very large performance boost for bf4 after installing drivers from Asus.
