yeah .but in normal usage i think you hardly can feel the different  smile.gif

But i feel the processor speed should be the same cos intel only 32bit, amd with 64 bit. If see thru eyes sure cant see the diff, lol. shocking.gif

i bought this laptop, Compaq CQ40-401AX from PC Fair last month.

cost me rm2019 with 4GB ram. not bad I guess..

the problem with this laptop is that it's too hot!

the battery won't last as long as Intel's laptop..

but it's good value for money.. the graphic card in the laptop is way better

than the rubbish Intel GMA 4500HD..
*
Amd processor is hot than C2D but for batt, mine can last abt 2 hours+ for normal use like surfing n chatting. For those laptop batt can last longer is b cos got stat energy star ba, hmm.gif

oohh...thanks..that means nobody blow out their 401AX yet...right?? biggrin.gif
and how about the Windows and the drivers problems??
is it not a big deal???
*
If can, try to get ori OS as well to avoid drivers problem. For AMD, normal use the heat is ok but still hot than intel. Just during gaming will more hot, thats all. rclxms.gif

i suggest u to buy intel + ati/nvidia
the heat issue is very annoying. Even I bring to HP customer service, the staff told me they themselves also buy intel. I think they did know the amd give many problems.

btw, the price is attractive. is up to u. suitable for student. not suitable for working, like to use it to watch movie on bed, or open it 24 hours, hot hot hot
*
Disagree with u, they say so hope ppl buy intel processor. I think, even use intel watch movie on bed oso will hot hot hot. hmm.gif

err..i'm in university now...then..maybe until i finish my study life...when i work..then i could get a new laptop...so..around 3 years too...
I'm jus worried since this is going to be my 1st laptop and there are just too much negative comments on AMD and this 401AX...
i remember reading somewhere that writes the whole laptop reaches 100 degrees and just shut down...
*
When u say wanna get a laptop, we suggest cq40 but we did told u it abit too hot than c2d. So if u choose this model, u ard cant complain it too hot again. For the temperature reach 100 degrees think is cos play high end games, thats y will auto shut down.

haha..all also not bad... sad.gif ...i consider this other 2 laptop for its c2d processor and their battery life...
I heard that the nvidia chipset contribute in the bad history of AMD..but it seems that many user complain of its temperature at the moment too...
hmm...

If u still looking for c2d + dedicated graphic, then u nid to increase ur budget till Rm3k ba, or u can try other brand like acer.

well...i got myself a package 401AX of rm2099 plus free ram upgrade to 3GB and also FOC upgrade to 3 years warranty but i didn't ask what kind of warranty is it...

@fcuk90..
so u using 401AX??
so ur 401AX have no problem with it at all??using VISTA 32bit??everything fine with ur 401AX??
*
For warranty, this u nid to ask the shop izzit under hp compaq? Besides, u cant ask those user who using the model of laptop u wan to buy cos buy laptop oso depends on luck. If fcuk90 say every work v well n oso no problem at all, then u got buy n haveing problem, izzit u gonna to blame him/her?

ok...since i supposed to go to another thread for it..i'll jus wrap this comparison right here..i oso think tat msi is quite good..with the price offered to me is rm2499..plus 4GB RAM and original vista home premium...the bad thing i check through is that it doesnt hav firewire connection or so...and this version are the entertainment laptop..not gaming laptop...
*
Oh, the price is juz nice ur budget. I think if u open a new thread compare this 2 laptop, most ppl will ask u go for MSI ba. This laptop specs nt bad, c2d come with dedicated graphic, n the price nt v exp oso. So u juz go for new thread, hope will got more expert giv u more suggetion. icon_idea.gif

The dark webcam issue can be simply fix by clicking into the Microsoft Movie Maker application. Then, find the configuration for the webcam and adjust the brightness, saturation & hue as your wish. Exit Microsoft Movie Maker. Finally your're done!
not 3 months, i think is few weeks time.  if yours is still not updated, better call HP to check.  Now the customer service of Malaysia and Singapore are joint, you can just call the local toll free number to check it out(weekdays)

Hmm, this i nt sure le. I asked few shop oso told me same thing, when i free will go check, thanks for remind, rclxms.gif

Umm.. does d Compaq CQ-40 126 AX overheat frequently ?

I've been using mine for 5 months.... I think total number of times it shut down due to overheated is.... like 6 times... Is it normal ?
I have a cooler pad... and i sometimes jz use it to Dota Fever for 4-5 games den suddenly overheat den off...

Is my cooler pad not functioning well ? If i use d USB Cooler pad does it increase d temp of my laptop?  since nid 2 use laptop power 2 make d fan spin.
*
When u play over 4-5 hours, ur laptop will feel v hot? But so far mine nvr auto turn off itself, i played dota omos halfday oso no problem at all.
