i tried using Catalyst 9.6 from AMD before... but result is not so good (like can only install on top of Asus' driver... install from scratch will not detect the GPU), so i revert back to Asus' Catalyst 9.5

before i install AMD's Catalyst 9.7, i ve already got Asus' Catalyst 9.7 installed... but juz to play safe, i ran Mobility Modder on AMD's Catalyst to make sure it can be installed without problems...

thanks man, gonna send my lappy asap.

Well, actually the performance between U80V P8700 and F81SE P8700, i would say they are almost the same. Just that from their outlook, it's totally different thing. Price wise, you are paying extra RM 400 for it.
Anyway, it's your choice at the end of the day. But for me, T6500 is just enough to cope with my daily usage.

Thanks Perfect. If then I think I should consider U80V T6500. Can I know what the price is for this model?

iirc it's rm3399..

Exactly it is just the same.
Paying rm400 extra just for:

- The look
- Lightweight
- 180gb extra hardisc
- extra Mhz on Ram.

Thats all i guess.

Not much

u forgot the Centrino 2 sticker...

Perfect..ur u80v p8700 got stock ady?

hi everyone.
i got a small problem, hope anyone can help me
i using asus k50in with win xp 32bit.
my problem is after windows shutdown but my notebook power still on. what is the solution for this problem?
thanks for help

The ambient light sensor in U80V is so awesome! I just learned to turn it on by pressing FN+A key.

My room is very dim, so i have set my screen brightness to minimum (by FN+F5) and had the keyboard backlit set to Off (by FN+F3).

When the Sensor is ON, nothing happen to the Screen Brightness, only the keyboard backlit Auto Turn ON to mid level brightness.

Then I switched on my torchlight and pointed it right on top the sensor, the Keyboard Backliit AUTO OFF and the screen gradually grows brighter til maximum, the Touch pad horizontal dotted line also grows much brighter when touched.

In Room temp 26 degree celcius, the U80V has been up and running with light applications such as Firefox, winamp, thunder for 4 hours plus, the heat on the palm rest n keyboard area is almost non-exists. This machine runs very COOL and Quiet. I also touched the left airvent, the warm air that flowing out of it just felt a little bit warm and the air volume felt is just a minimal, very different from another notebook here i.e. the air is actually HOT and stronger flow/higher air volume.

Just a simple description on the User Interface aspects above. Hope it will be of a little help for those who's considering this model.

Overall, I rated this model: Highly Recommended.

The second review above, the chassis was divided into 6 area where infra red heat detection device was used to measure heat level.

Have Fun.

Wooo another user besides me!

Congrats!

when is u80v p8700 stock coming T_T, need to wait end of tis month???

What bag will I get if I buy U80V? Can anyone mind to share the photo? Thnx

The U80V comes with Asus bag made by Targus, with a small piece of leather imprinted with Asus logo.

U can see the whole packaging and what's inside here http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=395298

Also included an Optical non-wireless Asus mouse made by Logitech, the mouse cable can be stored 'inside' the mouse. The length of the mouse cable about 2.5 feets long, just nice for the usb port at the upper edge of the keyboard. There is also a high quality Cable Tie and lcd cleaning cloth made up of a special combination of interwoven micro fibers that traps particles better than conventional clothes and without the need for chemicals. Machine Washable also.
