Geez guess i might just settle for a U80v. How's its cooling? Any uncomfortable spots at the typing and palm rest area? Why cant they have one with same specs but bigger screen =_=

can i add graphic card inside my asus lappie?

U50Vg lo? i just bought it yesterday. exactly same spec and price as U80V except for the bigger screen (15.6") and the graphic card is Nvidea instead of ATI.

Is there noticeable diff in weight in those two? If the weight is not much, 200-300grams then it is ok, coz most of the time the laptop will only be on top of the cooler on top of the table.

Battery wise, is the extra 1"++ is taking much battery?

Laptops with numpad is kinda cool. But 320GB hdd of the K40 is tempting, sadly, I've not encountered any shop that offered 320GB option for the K50.

well, battery life wise, both should be abt the same...

the main problem is, will u be taking it out often...

I'm not planning to take it out often. I think in 1 month, maybe around 2-3 times wanna go out and have free WiFi somewhere. Majority of the times the laptop will just sit there on top of my desk.

Is it OK to leave the laptop without any cooler? My old S41 I can leave it there for 2 weeks without any cooling and it still rocks and warm to touch. How about the K40/K50? I heard AMD Lappy pantang takde Cooler.

I lazy want to go page by page, but what is this U80 specs and price are like? Is it rare? I cant find it in any WTS forum.

exact...

U50Vg lo? i just bought it yesterday. exactly same spec and price as U80V except for the bigger screen (15.6") and the graphic card is Nvidea instead of ATI.

where do you bought it??it's the 3199 spec or 3799 spec?

hey astria.. G51Vx can get at LY ka? the price around 6.8k rite~

is there anything bad for this laptop?

what i meant was besides the graphic card n the screen size, everything else is exactly the same, the proc, the hdd, the ram etc n even the price. bleh. :\

astria :
you vote for k40ab instead of k40in
are there much diffferences in performance 4 this two

Thanks for your replies.

I live in Singapore (I'm Malaysian though), same as Astria, but the rules are different here. For Singapore, it is explicitly stated (on the Singapore's Immigration and Checkpoints Authority Website, FAQ Section) that laptops will be charged a 7% GST.

Anyway, I seemed to have answered my own question. I hope this would help everyone else.

Good news: the answer is, both sales tax and import duties for this laptop is zero.

Reason being laptop falls under heading 8471.30 of the World Custom's Organization HS Nomenclature, and 8471 is non-taxable under the Royal Malaysian Customs. See the screen shot I've attached for conclusive proof so if they send me a letter, or hold up my laptop, I'll chop their asses off 

Can't wait for my laptop to arrive!
