Upload some photos of it as well.
Do a good review of it.

me too.. fast fast do a review for our dream lappy!!!!.. btw.. how to create d recovery disc?? need the genuine windows xp cd ??

yalo ...how to create recover cd?? another question, how come cannot ask the seller help to partition for you??

for recovery your copy of genuine windows ,u just need to press F11 when u startup your notebook.

recovery cd can be create under the all program-> pc recovery

normally wont do partition cause the d drive is for recovery use.so if use partition magic,scare will spoil the recovery partition

The recovery portion is on the D partition, already pre-partitioned by Compaq.
Using the PC Recovery DVD Creator the software will walk you through it, very user friendly. After creation, there is the option of deleting the recovery partition. After deletion, the partition just disappears and you'll just be left with one single C partition.

Can save 8GB of HDD space wor.

Ok the casing is of the shiny black variety, quite prone to finger-print smudging, but can easily wipe off. No latch for the screen, it just flips shut after closing it to a particular degree (something like how the TH55 screen protector flips shut). A first for Compaq I think.
There are two microphone openings above the screen (Stereo maybe?). Speakers are placed just above the keyboard with the Altec Lansing sign prominently displayed. SOund quality is much better than my bro's tinny Acer lappie. But there's no treble/bass control But the volume control, media and mute buttons are blue backlit and are of the light touch variety (dono how to explain, must try for yourself). Kinda fancy that.
Keys has good tactile feedback with sufficient travel. Touchpad has a lock function as well.
Really isn't as hot as I expected, just 65 degrees over 2 plus hours.

Haven't tested batt life yet as was running on AC last night. Will try watching movie tonite on batt and see how.

Pics to come.

nice... gud job.. mayb u could write a full review like wat Prasys did for his M2251AU in a new thread..

that wud be great..

Will try my best, but don't think can be that extensive as sifoo Prasys la. I'll bring things up that may interest those looking to get it.
But so far exceeded my expectations. May not be able to give proper review on games as I don't play much. Sorry

haha! its ok.. jus give ur individual opinion.

sounds like your notebook vents are clogged up or something... modern notebooks needs maintainence like vaccuuming and blowing the vents... after 2 years it might have collected a layer of dust to prevent its cooling system to work properly.

the layer of dust would depend on the environment you use your notebook in... clean it periodically to prevent this from happening...

Let's have a look at the review below.

Well, there you go. But like I mentioned I'm not really into intensive number-crunching or gaming, so I think it'll suffice for day-to-day office usage and occasional DVD watching & light gaming.

I think Tainted mentioned in some other thread, just to get the specs you need, not what you may necessarily desire.

BTW, for those still interested after that rather deflating note, I'll be posting the SiSoft Sandra 2007 benchmark results soon (at the behest of sokdotcom )

Watch this space

jooku1,

The link I posted is one of the first review on HP Turion 64 X2 lappie.

I agree with you. Just get what you need. I will be going to KL this coming weekend and hopefully will manage to get this lappie as well.

has the motherboard designed been improved to support amd's dual channel processor? i recently bought presario v2613 and learnt of that bad news after i bought it. it appear that compaq's mobo architecture doesn't have the support for the dual channel thingy and it is hardware, not some software or firmware issue that can be sorted out.

and this new release is double bummer for me. (

how's wireless lan? have they released the 64 bit driver for the broadcom wireless lan? or are they using a different device in this new release. last i check, compaq took their ftp server down and will keep it down until support for 64 bit drivers are available (minus any announced dateline).

Wow post a review few pics

For that price it pawns Dell....Plus it comes with a good graphics card....

Not sure how to determine the things you're asking. I'm a relative newbie to all things lappie, maybe prasys can offer some input.

As for the pics, here are a few. Sorry about the quality





Dono why still old sticker, but rest assured it's the real deal inside

Wow the laptop looks like a very high end lappie...So hows the graphics , tried any games with it ?

Try notebook hardware control.....it should work !
