why before 11th of september? O_O need it to plan another 911 incident ar lol. U80V with the C2D P8700's at RM3799 if i've not mistaken. Comes with Vista Home Premium, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD, ATI HD4570 Mobility. Webcam and other misc are basics.

I'm not trying to demote asus here but if you're gonna get a laptop now at tat price range, i suggest the DELL Studio 15's that is on promotion. RM3399 with all the specs almost indentical to the U80V except the processor, which is a P8600. And the HD4570 sports GDDR3 compared to the DDR2 HD4570 available in the U80v. However DELL only gives 1yr of warranty while ASUS gives 2yrs. Finally, no freebies and laptop bag

any U80V user here?
may i know fully charged battery can use for how long?

u forgot BenQ S42...

14", P8700, GeForce 9600M GT, hybrid graphic, rm3399...

Adi told you wat, everyone no stock. Even supplier side also no stock at all ^^

Hi, you may go for F81SE P8700 2.53Ghz with RM 3499 and U80VG P8700 RM 3799.


No problem. Added.

haha.. he compiled all the answer for one week in a single post.. hahaha....

The following user's experience applied to u80v C2D T6500 2.1GHZ TDP 35watts (Note: The higher spec cpu is C2D P8700 2.53GHZ TDP 25watts i.e. lower power consumption)

Under Battery Saving Mode in Asus Power4Gear interface with LCD brightness set to minimum and the rest all in default settings in the Battery Saving mode i.e.

- Power Saving Desktop eg. wallpaper auto set to a White background with Asus logo in the middle of it
- Windows Aero theme disabled n reset to Vista Basic theme
- Windows Sidebar auto disabled
- Windows Taskbar auto set to Autohide mode
- WIFI adapter, PCI Express set to Maximum power saving mode
- Minimum CPU stage set to 5 %
- Maximum CPU stage set to 60 %
- ATI PowerPlay set to Maximum power saving

I have tried websurfing thru wifi connection without the keyboard backlit, the battery lasted for approximately 5 hours 30min with room temperature of 27 degree celcius. During the period, i was only running Firefox 3.52 (with NoScript Firefox Addon installed) with no other applications.

Hope the info above is of a little bit more help to those who's considering the u80v.

perfect, I recommend that if possible, we put lappy pics of each model in the 1st post there...

well it depends if you're using 2.1ghz or 2.53ghz.
the two diff version gives you diff power consumption.

Busy with my own stuff ><

Em, own pic as in those picha where we can easily get it from internet ? Or you snap it and post it ? ^^

Yeap, true, 25watt and 35watt got different power consumption.

not 911 incident lar.. i'm leaving msia on that day for study.
if i buy studio 15, i would need to wait for the delivery, which has unknown time from 1 week to 1 month.
so i would rather get one that's ald built and can get it on the spot as soon as i've made the purchase.

how long the u80v battery will last? it's 6 cell right? can it be upgraded to 9-cell or even 12-cell one?

oya btw, what's the difference between a ddr3 gpu and ddr2 gpu of the same model and same memory?


Noob here.. thanks a lot =)

Original Post Edited Thanks for pointing out.

DDR3 is faster and thus, will give u better graphic performance...

take note GDDR3 and DDR3 are different... GDDR3 is even faster...

anyway, if u did read a few posts back, it's approx. 5hrs on U80V with Power4Gear...

Asus's new ultrathin laptop coming soon on 7th September ? See here ....

so hard to make decision...

ur freebies means what? u mean dell doesn't got freebies and laptop bag?

wow... i never know u80v batt can last that long!

no wonder i kept my laptop running high performance and the batt can last for at least 2 hours...

so far, i'm quite happy with my new lappie.. mayb i previous one was just too old..

yea the asus U-series really a good choice , it's really running cool esp palm rest area, nice screen quality n i dun really need to carry my AC power adapter all the time

ah yesh yesh the s42's good too.


damn i've visited lowyat 3times in 4days =_= ok lemme provide some info for you. eh i'm leaving msia on the 11th of september too lol. where you goin XD

ok back to the topic. from wat i've seen, cheapest studio 15 (with the P8600, 320GB [all models i see at lowyat retails only have it with 320GB, not 500GB as stated in the DELL website], 4GB ram, the HD4570 and the rest of the basic stuffs) is from AllIT, RM3099, and they give you a Dell Laptop carrybag, not bagpack, but no desginer cover, meaning the normal black/blue/green etc.

i know i've strayed alot from what should be discussed in a Asus thread but anyone knows if Dell's still selling the XPS M1530?
