Ops, i must apologize, there's no such thing as Doraemon Series, I just made that up myself It's suppose to be a joke

[/quote]

Nope, Asus got disney version coming up, for Eee series. That's why i didn't take it as a joke. Still waiting ~~~~

abit out topic here though, hmm..Doraemon is NOT a Disney character so has Nothing to do with the coming Asus Disney version, so er, for those who's really interested, dun wait for it okay

The SRS things included in the Asus sound card drivers, if u check ur driver disk there r few SRS DLL drivers within the VIA sound driver for vista32 or vista64. For windows7 i think u can get the latest sound driver (Version V6.0.1.7333) from asus website, SRS shd be included within..

Dear Sir, We are glad ur asS-RS ccontroller is working fine now . Thank you for visiting our technical support at Asus Royal Club

Based on Asus's description on The Windows® 7 Upgrade Program package, recovery DVD is not included for each models. So basically, i afraid there's no where to get it

But, if you look at the Win7 'upgrade' as a "major vista service pack", u can recover ur system using the original vista based recovery DVD and then apply the Win7 Upgrade DVD plus Asus Win7 Drivers DVD, like that u r essentially "Restoring your system back to Factory preinstalled state plus a "major vista service pack" known as Win7 'upgrade'."

OR, u can create your own "Restoration DVD" using 3rd party software such as Symantec Ghost after you have upgraded your vista to win7.

When you applied for your win7 upgrade, did u scan a copy of your notebook purchase invoice and email to them as well? and did you also fax them the invoice? Can you pls describe your application process, thanks first.

The shop where i bought my asus told me no need to submit any invoice at all, just need to pay for the shipment online thru credit card after filled up the form.

Thanks orangegurl !

May I know how long it took for the win7 upgrade from vista?

and, is there any features of U80v disabled/affected after the upgrade? i mean for examples :

-The Backlit keyboard,
-Asus splendid video technology utility,
-Asus virtual camera,
-SRS premium sound,
-Keyboard Shortcut Key for Wifi/Led Sensor/Brightness/Off LCD button etc.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the response!

I have yet to upgrade my u80v to win7, so at the moment I m not referring to any real backlit keyboard issue in win7...but anyway, precisely, what i wanna know is whether there's any issue in controlling the 4 level of backlit keyboard brightness in win7 for u80v, and if such issue do exist for example, it may not be a "hardware" related issue (like what u kindly suggested), as it may have something to do with the drivers i suppose..

So maybe Orangegurl can shed some lights on this one n etc.

Thanks! Er, let me re-phrase my original question up there : How many min/hour it took for you to upgrade ur vista operating system to windows7?

Interesting! So are you actually saying the "windows 7 upgrade DVD" shipped from Asus can actually perform a "Clean Win7 Installation" by formatting the Hard Drive beforehand i.e. just like the "Retail Version Win7 DVD Installer"?

Please confirm Thanks!!

The Keyboard in U series (also in Macbook/Vaio ) is commonly known as "Chiclet" keyboard (Not Chicken though).
"Chiclets" is a brand of chewing gum, and the keyboard known as Chiclet reason being the key-caps shaped like Chiclets chewing gum...

When you did the clean install of win7, was there a new Win7 License Key included in the package for you to enter during setup? Or you just enter the Original Vista License Key? Because if the latter apply, I can just order one Win7 Upgrade DVD Package for two Asus lappy

For those who r planning to upgrade to win7 from vista using the Asus Win7 Free Upgrade DVD, please go thru the 'Notices' posted by Asus here http://support.asus.com.tw/technicaldocume...SLanguage=en-us

Basically, if you are not planning to do a Clean Install, i.e. u jus wanna perform an Upgrade from vista, you r advised to manually uninstall all the Asus Utilities, Drivers, Norton Security etc, pls refer to the long list provided in Asus win7 support site above.

Added on November 20, 2009, 2:45 pmDear Orangegurl , I wanna check with you on the Asus Express Gate 8sec Bootup, after you clean install win7, have you tested the Dedicated Button/key on top-left side of u80v? Still can boot into Express Gate?

This post has been edited by mimi1986: Nov 20 2009, 02:45 PM

Yea approx 60 ringgit. Package includes:

- Win7 DVD installer, u can opt to perform a Clean Install or just an Upgrade
- A new Win7 Product Key
- Asus Win7 Drivers DVD
- Plastic bag

First question is whether the cheaper spec with P7450 can satisfy your computing needs. For me, I think it's more than enough seriously.

Second question is whether you need the extra features in Win7 Pro, Note that both model above are of 64Bits of win7.

For home users, the extras in win7 Pro may not be relevant, I list down for your reference below:

-Location Aware Printing
-Domain Join and Group Policy Control
-Remote Desktop Host
-Advanced Backup
-Encrypting File System
-Windows XP mode
-Windows Mobility Centre Presentation mode
-Offline Folder

I do think the Windows XP mode is the most desirable extra in PRO version, but the question is whether you have any programs that actually need to run in XP mode?

The extra 2GB should not be a problem, cause I got mine upgraded to 4GB for Free at no extra costs, you just have to request it nicely from your dealer. Anyway, 2GB ram is very affordable nowadays.

Also, about the larger 500GB of Hard Drive in P8700 package, my suggestion is to get a Portable Hard Drive if you really need the extra 180GB of disk space for the sake of Data Security, and Portable Drive is very affordable too.

The fundamental question is, are you rich? If the extra 500 means nothing to you then pls go ahead with P8700

Hence, the idea is this, will there be any increase in your Actual Satisfaction if you go for the P8700 model? OR, Will your Total Consumer Satisfaction increases IF you spend the extra RM500 elsewhere? like on a set of Logitech Surround Speakers? or 500GB of Seagate Portable GO external hdd?

Worth or not, I prefer to look at the Big Picture, not simply the hardware costs. Hope can help abit here
