yeah! finally i bought Asus K40AB+additional 2Gb ram. Must admit, evernews giving good services.

1. staff don't look like Ah Beng, polite & easy going.
2. many goodies ( though i know they have charge us): cooler fan, mouse, lock, Usb hub, headset, 4gb pendrive & bag.
3. free drinks while waiting for the notebook to be ready & tested in front of u.
4. allow to change if not happy with the notebook & change others high range notebook.

recommended reseller.

As for asus, i like the asus black mouse & bag. the notebook's cover look like carbon fibre. Now charging to give it a life & will test the performance tomorrow.

yeah!!!


bro , can i know ho much u bought it with 2gb ram ? hows the battery life ?

Sorry guys, kinda busy recently. Preparing for PC fair thingy laugh.gif

FYI, there will be no more supply for N50VN.
Please becareful with the F8VR stock in the market.
Most of them has been sent for servicing and back on sales.
For F81SE P8600 user, please check your bio-metric finger print sensor, See whether it's functioning or not.
Insert driver disc to install the software if it's not working.
Or back to the place where you bought it from.

it's totally different architecture, as it has to adapt to the way Cell functions... so can't really compare...

on the other hand, u can compare the one in XBOX360, which is by ATi... iirc, it's a prototype of R600 (aka HD 2900 series)

no online buying n81vp is cheaper than buying n51vf in M'sia !!(shouldnt compare with n51vc bcoz 105M is 3rd class GC)
that ASUS n50vn-c1s with 2.53 ghz price about RM5.5k !!! I saw that unit at ASUS shop keeper price list.they hving all ASUS unit available in M'sia including all spect but that one is before July ^^
You can ask Perfect there is 2.53ghz n50vn or not ^^

for that I'm not sure go google it ^^ Dotn know is ATI or Nvidia involving in design the nanocore for them & provide what what ald .... Request from Microsoft ~.~''' (read form wikipedia)
(Some information provided by wikipedia is not 100% true bcoz any ppl also can enter and change the content.So for a teacher pls dont copy thsoe information from there & pass to ur student !!)
Gaming in PS * xbox better than laptop ?? (correct me if I'm wrong) Like Devil May Cry come with PS then just hv PC version ~.~ unfair ....

My friend using 6k to buy ASUS unit M50 but the GC is 9600GS 1gb ram but is DDR2 .... Regreting ~
bcoz my ex-SXSP 16 with RM5k can beat unit in term of speaker,design,GC & overall Perfromance & warranty + services ^^

this is really an affordable gaming notebook. i've been trying to customize dell's 14 studio/inspiron but afterall only asus have a 14' gaming laptop with an affordable price which dells 14 would easily lead me to 2.5k> after customizing the graphic's card! i think ppl might turn their eye on this little machine very soon as it's more portable (>2kg considered light to me and smaller in size too) than studio 15.

im looking for a light gaming subnotebook (light weight and long battery life) actually, but this caught mah eye so easily and i'm really tempting to examine the notebook by myself!

k40ab
14inches
2.36kg (macbook 13' already weighted 2.27kg)
RM2199

studio15
15inches
2.55kg
RM2799

really hope u can give more reviews (like battery life) as i can hardly find these info.

You may try it with Asus website.
But not now since it's still new bro.

sad .. I want a asus n50vn24dpm and now it is no more selling. There is a higher spec for the newversion n50vn with better processor ASUS N50Vn-C1S 15.4-Inch Laptop (2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T9400 Processor, 4 GB RAM, 320 GB Hard Drive, Vista Premium).. and it coz more... kind of wandering when it is coming out  in malaysia??

anyway buying n81vp online(include shipping)  is cheaper then buying a N51vc ~~. correct me if i'm wrong

yup, it is light n it has a nice body colour tat look like carbon fibre. Battery life, if refer the site, it mention about 6 hours. 6 hours of battery b4 kong thx to the cooling architecture in the notebook. tongue.gif

ya.. b4 the purchase i also struggle between studio & K40.. but check back the spec, warranty given, n quality, i must admit i prefer Asus. I'm also using Dell precision M4400, but the quality of the casing, it like a pc of junk plastic but the core is okay la. K40 more solid & better feeling when touch on it icon_idea.gif

Why M'sia dotn hv such powerfull unit & sell in cheap ??
30% from ASUS & dealer !!
They earn alot !!Perfect Sure Rich ^^ i estimated he can earn min 10% from each laptop sold ??
No wander mlc shop keep said you buy 1 unti from me than i can make more display lo !!

no online buying n81vp is cheaper than buying n51vf in M'sia !!(shouldnt compare with n51vc bcoz 105M is 3rd class GC)
that ASUS n50vn-c1s with 2.53 ghz price about RM5.5k !!! I saw that unit at ASUS shop keeper price list.they hving all ASUS unit available in M'sia including all spect but that one is before July ^^
You can ask Perfect there is 2.53ghz n50vn or not ^^
Oversea sure cheaper !! no 30% tax ... dealer & suppliear need to earn. Pass so many hand ald. The price sure Bom Bom Up !! Dont need to Bullshit ... All this will coming soon ~
for that I'm not sure go google it ^^ Dotn know is ATI or Nvidia involving in design the nanocore for them & provide what what ald .... Request from Microsoft ~.~''' (read form wikipedia)
(Some information provided by wikipedia is not 100% true bcoz any ppl also can enter and change the content.So for a teacher pls dont copy thsoe information from there & pass to ur student !!)
Gaming in PS * xbox better than laptop ?? (correct me if I'm wrong) Like Devil May Cry come with PS then just hv PC version ~.~ unfair ....

My friend using 6k to buy ASUS unit M50 but the GC is 9600GS 1gb ram but is DDR2 .... Regreting ~
bcoz my ex-SXSP 16 with RM5k can beat unit in term of speaker,design,GC & overall Perfromance & warranty + services ^^

Hi,
Please THINK before you say something here.
No offence.
30% .. you know how much is it ? If laptop priced at 3k. 30% means RM 900... @.@
I'm getting 10% ? If that is the case, i can be millionaire now.
Work for me in the next pc fair, then you will know everything.
But for sure, I'm not gonna let the vacancy open for you since most of your previous posting mislead our members.

Malaysia don't have powerful Asus laptop ?
N50vn, N51VF, X61SL, W90 ... all this still cannot satisfy you ?
Since you are so rich, why don't you just go for W90 which can fulfill most of your requirement in terms of spec.

No hard feeling.
Just that it's kinda annoying to see people posting over and over again complaining this not good, this no stock and so on.
I have already explained for few times i guess.
Due to there are lesser demand in Malaysia for those high end models which you can easily find them in oversea, this is why Asus Malaysia or Asus supplier never bring in much model for high end spec.
Easy, just leave your budget here and all of us will recommend you which model you want to go for.
Or if you really interested with any oversea model, just buy it then.

Em, K50ab uses ATI HD 4570. NOT 4670 @.@

Okay then, but what do you expect from a laptop which you only pay less than RM 2300.

Hi, no new model with P8600 processor.
To my understanding, T series and P series processor, the difference is the power consumption for each processor.
35watt and 25watt respectively. wink.gif

I send my laptop to the malacca service centre ..
after almost 2 weeks .. guess what ?

I cant switch on without using charger ..
I can switch on with charger .. I put on my lap .. goyang a bit .. it freezes ..
I put on a chair .. switch it on .. it freezes again

After that I switch off my laptop .. went to my lect office to show my Java program .. and it can be switch on without battery .. ok .. now i really piss off with the Asus technician who "service" my laptop .. u can suck my tit !!

and now .. I cant switch on my laptop at all (with / without charger).. Even if i can .. i wonder when the freezes nightmare go away ..


ASUS has PHAILED me ..

K40Ab - Athlon x2 QL64 (2.0GHz, 512MB x2 L2, 1000MHz HT)
F81Se - Core 2 Duo T6600 (2.4GHz, 2MB L2 cache, 800MHz FSB) and Core 2 Duo P8600 (2.4GHz, 3MB L2 cache, 1066MHz FSB)

raw performance wise, we are looking at quite a big difference...

disregarding the clock, there's still quite a big gap in performance between AMD and Intel CPU... AMD's K8 architecture is clock dependent, while cache and HT do not give a big boost to performance, as oppose to Intel where clock, cache and FSB all play a part in performance... however, computers with AMD CPU are pretty responsive, thx to the integrated memory controller in the CPU which give lower latency and higher bandwidth compared to Intel...

end of the day, if u want raw performance, Intel is the way to go... i highly suggest F81Se if ur budget permits...

So it is out. N50Vn officially phased out in Malaysia. =/ This is just so bad timing for me.

Can anyone (qualified enough) suggest me an ASUS Malaysia alternative to N50Vn. I don't exactly need an exact spec-to-spec comparison, but assuming if we were to use ATI GC, which would be comparable to that of Nvidia 9650M GT?

Thank you all.

~Cheers!

P.S. I just so regret choosing this laptop at the time it is being phased out. So sad.

Looks like that will be the case. =/

N51Vf somehow is too pricey for my budget of RM4K and below (RM 300+-)

astria, any advice on how to choose Mobile GC between ATI and Nvidia? (At least choosing Procs seems to be easier for me. =/)

I don't think you can. The RAM slots should be having different notch position.

I can't say for sure as I haven't handled DDR3 RAMs before, but considering there is major architecture differences, I don't think it is even possible to put a DDR3 RAM in a DDR2 Slot.

Is there a N50vn replacement coming out? or anything close to it in terms of price and graphics card..  smile.gif  Coz its one of the best laptops in affordability for that graphics..

Bro, so far, do not have any replacement for N50VN.
Recently, all new model would be T6500 or AMD processor laptops.
There would be P8700 laptop coming out with good graphic.
Around Mid of July according to Asus Supplier.

I can't tell you whether N51Vn will be a replacement model for N50VN since Asus side haven't confirm whether they will bring in that particular model or not. laugh.gif

Just wanna do some gaming on a not so expensive laptop.. Heard the there are new laptops coming out for pc fair.. So hope theres something like the N50Vn.. hehehe

I will suggest Imbi Asus Royal Club. Since it's the head of all service centre.

QUOTE(camel90 @ Jul 2 2009, 10:59 PM)
yea...it is located inside berjaya time square rite? how is it? ok?
wana repair my screen n if i hv more money wana change casing if that's possible. (posted this problem ages ago, but it seems not that bad UNTIL last week tongue.gif )

Which model bro ? Still covered under warranty.
Better call them and ask them to prepare the parts before you go there ya. Otherwise, it might takes longer time blush.gif


QUOTE(natakaasd @ Jul 2 2009, 11:18 PM)
So it is out. N50Vn officially phased out in Malaysia. =/ This is just so bad timing for me.

Can anyone (qualified enough) suggest me an ASUS Malaysia alternative to N50Vn. I don't exactly need an exact spec-to-spec comparison, but assuming if we were to use ATI GC, which would be comparable to that of Nvidia 9650M GT?

Thank you all.

~Cheers!

P.S. I just so regret choosing this laptop at the time it is being phased out. So sad.
*
As what Astria mentioned, F81SE P8600 would be the best so far in ATI GC laptop.

No, you can't bro.
Your laptop mobo DDR2 platform is totally different with DDR3 platform.
So, you can't even slot in DDR3 RAM into DDR2 platform.

Em, for K40AB which uses AMD processor.
Speed wise is good enough with 2gb ram.
Palm rest area still cool after 5hours.
But the ventilation holes behind your laptop ( not bottom ) is kinda hot i would say.
Overall is good enough and worth to buy. blush.gif

Bro, yes, you may sennd it to the service network in Selangor.
Ok, it's all depends on the company's policy.
For Evernew, they will change it for you within one week or you switch from one model to another model.
But it depends on which type of customer they are dealing with.
If okok one, can persuade one, then send it for service without changing it.

For warranty wise, it depends on the parts availability.
No charges take into consideration since your laptop is covered under warranty. If you need to pay anything extra, do let me do the warranty claiming for you. smile.gif

Well, it's better for you to lodge a complain to Evernew and request them to change a brand new unit for you.
Otherwise, ask them to send it for service for you.
No charges is needed during warranty period.
Eventhough major parts like Screen or mobo, all FOC during warranty period. Unless it's proven by the service centre that the faulty of the laptop is due to customer's carelessness. Since warranty only covers manufacturer defect, in that case, you need to pay for it.

Bring your receipt and give it together with the laptop to them. They will service it nicely for you. But of coz, do chec kyour laptop once u receive it back from the service centre. laugh.gif

There will be one batch of 1000HE coming on next week. Black and white version. Limited 200 units this time. Grab it if you are not going for 1005HA.

it's the same theory as putting a plastic casing on a handphone... it won't really affect the visibility... rather it's the brightness... low brightness give u matte screen also no use...

As what mentioned by Astria, you may go for F81SE P8600 if your friend is in a hurry on getting it.
Otherwise, jz wait for another 2 more weeks.

I bought ASUS K40AB two days ago and install Windows 7 on it, everything is great but two problem, the CPU temperature is unbelivably high (hovering around 60-70 when idle) and PowerXpress is sketchy (maybe because Windows 7) as it keeps telling me that the HD 4570 cannot start in device manager, I forced it to use only discrete GPU in BIOS, it free up 256MB of RAM, problem solved.

About the high CPU temperature, I removed the back cover and run it directly to the cooler below, pretty odd as ASUS doesn't provide any ventilation hole directly on the CPU/GPU fan. Before this, it crashed after playing CnC Kane's Wrath for about 30 minutes, now its perfectly fine, after finishing CnC3 KW, I play CoD2 for a while with no problem at all. Thank God for the back cover opens up to the whole mobo, so I can cool everything down. Temperature is kept under 60 on idle (its around 56 as I typing this, on a hot room with no fan or AC)

Game performance is great too, more than I expected it to be, my cousin have BenQ S41, it struggle to play CnC3 KW even at low setting and low res, but this one, I can play at 1366x768 with High detail. CoD2 also excellent, 1366x768 High detail

i suspect it should be the gpu driver problem
but if u're using vista and using the asus driver provided in the cd u should not be facing this problem
and well its a hybrid gpu meaning it can switch between 3200 and 4570 depending on settings
or there should be a way to use only 4570 i hope sifus out there can enlighten us

Yes, it only been lock down by 5 screw, and I only use one now to easily remove it, but still secure enough and not flimsy. I don't know any other way to cool it down without taking the back cover, even using notebook cooler have minimal effect.

Since this is my very first laptop, I want to make a full reviews about it. Let me play for a while, expect a full reviews soon smile.gif

Bro, actually it's very easy. Since it's your precious, why don't you stick it your own =P
Well, prepare something like masking tape, then use it to stick away all the dust from your screen.
After that, measure nicely and paste it to your screen.
Done ^^

So far no detailed info on 1005HA.

EEE is part of Asus, but is a separate brand with separate warranty policy...

if u notice, u never see the word "asus" on any prominent area of a EEEPC...

Got. Previous Eee PC 900 which comes with celeron processor got Asus name on the laptop skin.
Well, EEE PC and Asus laptop are the same. It's just different name. For netbook, they named it Eee Series.
When comes to warranty wise, it's still the same. Parts and labour included during warranty period. It's just different in the length of the warranty itself.

I've been using K40AB for a few days now,and this is what I think about it.

Pros:
- cheap, good spec
- HD4570 GPU for below RM2500, with HD3200 onboard to save power
- 250GB HDD
- very nice L.E.D LCD screen, better than my Dell 1704FPT at home
- very quiet running after Windows load
- pretty fast for moderate gaming (CnC: KW, CoD2, H.A.W.X all run at high at native resolution)
- onboard VIA audio codec support SRS Premium Sound, sounded rather good when properly tweaked

Cons:
- hot running (60-70C idle with the back cover close) because unbelivably low fan speed, and there are no way to turn it up
- sketchy PowerXpress (may be due to RC Windows 7 or its drivers)
- touchpad could be better with side scroll
- for keyboard shorcut, it need an enormous amount of system process to get it working (more than 5)
- HD4570 is new, anything to tweak it is nearly impossible to find, even the driver is hard to find, latest 9.6 Beta needs INF tweak to get it work, Mobility Cat Modder won't work with HD 4XXX series yet

guys i'm in a dilemma and need some icon_question.gif here...
bought a K40AB for my brother and he has told me that it is very hot.....
60 at idle, 80 when watching movies.....
kinda defeats the purpose of having a laptop for mobility if there is no other alternative other than to open up the back cover to cool it...
so he suggest we go back to the shop to exchange for another model...
u guys think it is feasible???
pls give some ideas....

Unfortunately there is no way to increase fan speed when in Windows but you can use k10stat to reduce speed and voltage of the CPU. Read here on how to use it

Nope, AMD Overdrive only let me to change memory timing, the utility I posted earlier can also do overclocking, it helps in gaming by quite A LOT especially in RTS. Load temperature never exceeds 80C that is why I dare to do so smile.gif

That 2.6GHz is only for gaming la, in desktop its only 1GHz 0.9V biggrin.gif Well, I tested it again and guess what? Its now at 2.8GHz same Vcore brows.gif Crazy stuff, maybe it can go more but I won't need that kind of speed especially with slow GPU. I just need to wait for any utility to overclock the GPU. Performance gains? Game runs faster and smoother, I could jack up a higher detail too smile.gif

I don't think the price could get any lower, IMO they could jack up the price and give all sort of 'free gifts' that most of us won't even need. I paid RM2100 for mine after I say I don't need those extras, no OS, no nothing, even so they give lots of free stuff, LCD cleaner, cheap notebook cooler, USB hub, and notebook lock. They say i'm their first customer so they give me that, if not they wanted RM2150 for it, or RM2199 with 4GB of RAM with OS installed and sort of stuff I don't want

Ohhh tha FUN, i had never ever overclock a lappie b4 (in fact, i nvr own a laptop b4 , MuaHAHAHA)

No la, I've tried some programs, won't work, ATiTool not register anything, ATi Tray Tools Overclocking won't work (thankfully the other driver control works) sad.gif Even flashing these cards is hard, Radeon Bios Editor works but ATiWinflash will crash, the stable one doesn't recognize the card and the DOS version of atiflash and flashrom doesn't detect the card at all sweat.gif

I even plan to put more heatsink, there is some gap inside where I can put some very low profile heatsink. But I forgot where did I put those heatsink, my room is a big mess doh.gif

i think the problem lies with the driver... tried Riva Tuner before, but no, i can't do any adjustment to the settings even though it recognizes the driver...

and the interesting thing is, i tried running Filding@Home GPU client, and it says the card is not compatible.. .doh.gif

Well, i have been using it to play Street fighter IV during my working hours.
No problem so far. Yes, it is warmer than other intel processor laptop, but not THAT WARM.
In terms of performance wise, i would say it's faster.

Seems like the K40AB not that HOT that mentioned in previous post. Then shouldn't be out of my list anyway. smile.gif

I think i need to get a decent cooling pad. Btw, the RAM that the K40AB comes with is DDR2 800 or 667? Coz I saw Najmods's sig written that is Nanya ddr2 667, so wanna make sure. Coz I am planning to add 1 more 1GB RAM into it.

Does the shop in lowyat who sell this k40AB gives laptop bag? Anyone can recommend a shop in lowyat plaza which got sell this k40AB and service is not bad biggrin.gif

Hmm lowyat plaza got evernew? as i know is digital mall there got....if lowyat plaza there got then great biggrin.gif i might pay a visit there during August...

ASUS k40 AB

Hi guys, i'm new to here and i'm going to buy asus k40ab (athlon x2 ql-64)=
RM1999, plus RM 60 (service charge+optical mouse+keyboard skin pad+cooler)
I have paid the deposit RM100 already.
But now i've noticed that k50ab is going to come out, so is the price also RM1999?
If the price is not so much different, i'm willing to sacrifice my deposit to get bigger 15.6 inch and numberic keyboard (what do u guys think?).

So, my questions are:
1. Will K50AB price be around RM2000?
2. Do you get free notebook bag when you bought K40AB?
Thanks...

yes, k40ab come with notebook bag, but not backpack, Hand carry type, mouse included as well.

Bout the hot issue, dont really feel it. you guys are talking both the motherboard temperature or the palm area? if palm area, dont really feel it even up to few hours long.

Thanks, if the price of K50AB is more than RM2300, i think i'll stick with K40AB...
I am talking about the notebook bag, because i saw in the official website:
ASUS K40AB

Here you can see that they display in "Supplied Accessories" the optional things are carrying bag and optical mouse.
1. Do you mean that inside the box ASUS already include for us the notebook bag as well as the mouse? (darn, if like that i shouldn't accept the RM60 1 year software warranty+free gifts.. @_@)
2. And with the PowerPlay feature, how do we switch between ATI 4570 n 3200?

hey guys i need some help over here!
so i just phoned my local dealer and told him to put my k50in order on hold. blush.gif as i can't really decide between the k40ab and k50in.
I'm about to go off to uni this coming september and i need a new laptop within this 2 weeks.
so basically i will be using the lappie for school work, movies, music and some gaming (red alert 3, bioshock, L4D etc.) will the g102m be enough?
oh and i'm quite picky when it comes to temperature management, i don't like laptops that are hot.
RM2999 for the k50in and RM2400 for the K40ab (2 gb ram upgrade + windows vista)
so.. the k40ab or k50in? please share your opinions and help a distressed guy here. sad.gif

What kind of hot? An idle hot or when playing games hot? Some laptop idle temp is warm (around 50-60C) & when playing games shoot-up to 80-90C...so which definition of hot are you referring?

Asus K40Ab should be warm enough when idle (temp around 60C)..

no the idle temp is not 90 it is at 59-61
watching movie at 80
gaming will be 90 within 15 minutes
using a zalman won't help much only about 3-4 drop in temp.....
someone else posted earlier that by removing the back cover the temp will drop quite a lot, but by doing this limiting the mobility of the device.....

not sure about the price of K50AB, haven't seen them in the market
asus bag and mouse however is included in the box containing the laptop
mouse in the same compartment as adapter and bag in a separate compartment

Can tell me the estimated date of K50ab release? Just roughly, because i cant  afford to wait too long.

K50AB will be release one week before PC fair.
Pricing will be almost the same like K40AB, just whether you want 14inches or 15inches screen.

Seems like the K40AB not that HOT that mentioned in previous post. Then shouldn't be out of my list anyway. smile.gif

I think i need to get a decent cooling pad. Btw, the RAM that the K40AB comes with is DDR2 800 or 667? Coz I saw Najmods's sig written that is Nanya ddr2 667, so wanna make sure. Coz I am planning to add 1 more 1GB RAM into it.

Does the shop in lowyat who sell this k40AB gives laptop bag? Anyone can recommend a shop in lowyat plaza which got sell this k40AB and service is not bad biggrin.gif

The Original RAM which comes with K40AB is DDR2 800Mhz. Don't listen to others. I sold more than 40units for this model.
All Asus laptop comes with original Asus carrying case and also Asus Mouse.
Just PM me if you are keen on getting one for yourself.

beware of the temp
idle 60, watch movie 80, gaming easily 90
not much difference even using a zalman cooler......
and yes a bag by asus c/w the box, including asus mouse too
i would recommend buy from evernew since they have a 14 days satisfaction guarantee

Hi bro, may i know where you place your laptop ? Make sure there are no any object blocking the heat sink area behind the laptop.
Em, Yes, Evernew provides 14days satisfaction guarantee, but can you make sure that you will get a BRAND NEW unit if you switch to other model or switch to another unit since everyone is doing so ? How can a business bring in ALL BRAND NEW units and let customer to switch once they find it not so happy to that lappy ?
Think bro. blush.gif


QUOTE(Big Butt Panda @ Jul 13 2009, 12:29 PM)
I see. Means nothing can do to improve the temperature lo....haiz.... Is the K40AB has an intake fan below it? And does it has the exhaust hole to let the hot air out-take from the laptop?

Hmm lowyat plaza got evernew? as i know is digital mall there got....if lowyat plaza there got then great biggrin.gif i might pay a visit there during August...

So, can i add the RAM myself maybe later time since u can take out the bottom cover....btw, where they put the warranty sticker? coz if other laptop, u open the cover, the warranty sure voided....

Hi, em, what i can say is, drop by at any Asus authorised shop, have a try on that laptop with some decent games.
You can drop by at my shop if you want. I let you play with some games and you can try and see whether the heat is that high or not. wink.gif
Putting in an additional RAM will not void the warranty of your laptop. wink.gif

ASUS k40 AB

Hi guys, i'm new to here and i'm going to buy asus k40ab (athlon x2 ql-64)=
RM1999, plus RM 60 (service charge+optical mouse+keyboard skin pad+cooler)
I have paid the deposit RM100 already.
But now i've noticed that k50ab is going to come out, so is the price also RM1999?
If the price is not so much different, i'm willing to sacrifice my deposit to get bigger 15.6 inch and numberic keyboard (what do u guys think?).

So, my questions are:
1. Will K50AB price be around RM2000?
2. Do you get free notebook bag when you bought K40AB?
Thanks...
*

Yeap, K50AB will price around RM 2K.
Yes, you will get free Asus carrying case with Asus Mouse. Perhaps with a good looking plastic bag


QUOTE(hanz08 @ Jul 14 2009, 02:25 PM)
hey guys i need some help over here!
so i just phoned my local dealer and told him to put my k50in order on hold.  blush.gif as i can't really decide between the k40ab and k50in.
I'm about to go off to uni this coming september and i need a new laptop within this 2 weeks.
so basically i will be using the lappie for school work, movies, music and some gaming (red alert 3, bioshock, L4D etc.) will the g102m be enough?
oh and i'm quite picky when it comes to temperature management, i don't like laptops that are hot.
RM2999 for the k50in and RM2400 for the K40ab (2 gb ram upgrade + windows vista)
so.. the k40ab or k50in? please share your opinions and help a distressed guy here.  sad.gif

Bro, take K50IN since money is not an issue for you.

well the laptop is placed on a zalman cooler on a table
yes the laptop keyboard, palmrest and touchpad areas are not hot, but try to touch the upper right side area near the adapter or the speaker area
the heat of the laptop is concentrated there
i have installed hwmonitor and coretemp as temp monitor softwares and found the temps as posted earlier

i'm not trying to say K40AB is not a good laptop, IT IS A BLOODY GOOD ONE!!!!
the specs are great and so is the price
just prepare yourself to treat it as a desktop replacement instead of a mobile device and u'll be just fine

u can try undervolting it should help with the heat
or just open up the back cover as tested by the other forumer

well if u dun believe the temp is high search for posts from najmods he wrote few reviews of his unit
he also posted WEI score and others....
my opinion is if u intend to use as desktop replacement then there's not much problem but if u want mobility think twice... And the best solution to the heat is to open up the back cover as posted....
read 1 of them below
QUOTE(Najmods @ Jul 11 2009, 12:56 AM)
I've been using K40AB for a few days now,and this is what I think about it.

Pros:
- cheap, good spec
- HD4570 GPU for below RM2500, with HD3200 onboard to save power
- 250GB HDD
- very nice L.E.D LCD screen, better than my Dell 1704FPT at home
- very quiet running after Windows load
- pretty fast for moderate gaming (CnC: KW, CoD2, H.A.W.X all run at high at native resolution)
- onboard VIA audio codec support SRS Premium Sound, sounded rather good when properly tweaked

Cons:
- hot running (60-70C idle with the back cover close) because unbelivably low fan speed, and there are no way to turn it up
- sketchy PowerXpress (may be due to RC Windows 7 or its drivers)
- touchpad could be better with side scroll
- for keyboard shorcut, it need an enormous amount of system process to get it working (more than 5)
- HD4570 is new, anything to tweak it is nearly impossible to find, even the driver is hard to find, latest 9.6 Beta needs INF tweak to get it work, Mobility Cat Modder won't work with HD 4XXX series yet

download them from asus support website
if it doesn't work then it could be a faulty hardware that's causing the problem

For those who their laptop such as k40AB that have the option to install SRS Premium Sound, I suggest you install it. It will make your laptop sound so much better than stock one, I been playing around with it, and very satisfied with the result smile.gif

And for k40AB user, the 14" LCD is very nice for watching videos, especially 720p HD one, the picture quality is excellent, color were accurate enough and the small dot pitch just seals the deal. I end up loading loads of videos to this lappy, thanks to 250GB harddisk I can put them all in it biggrin.gif

Proven that it is a good machine at good price of course.
All K40AB users know how to switch graphic card at BIOS there, right ? which means you guys able to use Ati HD 4570 or Ati 3200 which comes with AMD processor on board.

Nothing more.

But seriously, I don't think it's THAT hot lar, you can try under-volt it, and the CnQ is quite good from my previous experience.

I know Tha Intel PukeBurst can, as for athlonx2, I doubt it is THAT hot as it didnt reach 75'C even when i torture it kaw kaw. Not sure about the laptop tho, but I would just tweak it and live with it, instead of cash out 1k more.... bo lui bo pien lo cry.gif cry.gif cry.gif

touch the upper right side area near the hinge and the place u plug in the adapter
other areas are NOT hot at all except for that place
scroll back few pages for confirmation of the temp.....

but apart from the heat the performance is REALLY AMAZING
everything is fast and very responsive using Vista without any tweaks
installation of Windows was a breeze
gaming was great with the 4570

apart from the heat the only other thing i can think of is the short battery life...

yes tweaking is fun
but gaming will not be fun with the heat.....
u'll have to think of innocative ways to cool it down or else u can't game for long....

not to 'pour water' but after changing to an intel t6500 here are the temps without using zalman
idle 43
cpu 100% 63, very occasionally spike up to 70 but will drop in split seconds (for 1 of the cores only, not both cores)
movie 56
gaming 86, very occasionally spike up to 90 but will drop in split second

using zalman
idle 41, lowest 39
cpu 100% 60, lowest 59
movie 55, lowest 53
gaming 83


Added on July 17, 2009, 4:03 pmthe intel discrete gpu not as powerful as the 4570 but IMHO the temps are just too high to be comfortable with.....

T6500 reach 80"C+ too???? I always though this new c2d with 45nm die size would be much more cooler then amd old 65nm k8...
My fren have a 45nm intel proc in his rig, and it's not too hot even when he oc it, maybe laptop would just hotter then desktop no matter what...
Thanks for your information, sordanny, I really appreciate it notworthy.gif notworthy.gif notworthy.gif
The zalman seem to perform better then cm infinite, may i know how much you bough it for?

yes even 45nm core would be at that kinda temp when gaming for LONG periods
actually i feel K40AB is more responsive even though the specs are comparable except for the gpu
the big advantage of intel obviously is heat emissions/disbursement even under stress
hopefully AMD will come up with better heat solutions when designing their phenom2 for laptops
myself is actually an AMD fan....
all the desktops i owned over the years had all been AMD........
too bad AMD failed me this time around when coming to laptops sad.gif

yes laptop and desktop is very different
desktop in terms of the heat u can basically ignore it or invest in a water cooling system if u're really into oc
but laptop don't have that kinda luxury.....
zalman is among the most expensive at the moment i got mine for rm280

Yeah, amd proc would be more responsive bcoz it have an on-die memory controller, but even this last dignity (?) of amd is fading as intel latest i7 introduced an intergrated memory controller as well, not to mention it is BETTER...
Amd prolly wouldn't survive too long now, sad to say...

Anyway, i do aware that the athlon would be hotter but I just cant resist the under 2k pricing sweat.gif
If i can find laptop with intel proc and still have decent graphic and reasonable price, i might chnage, but right now im deeply poison with this model.... It's all astria's fault laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif

laugh.gif You guys are so funny biggrin.gif Playing Crysis is not really that playable, since its limited in both ways (fill rate and memory bandwidth). But at least I make it look decent enough with some shadows with semi playable setting.

So far I want to put this in the thread:

1) Where to download Mobility driver (its hard to find one, even the official driver won't work)
2) k10stats for downvolt/downclocking or even overclocking tongue.gif
3) Ways to cool it down/mod it (with picture of course)
4) Gameplay tweaks on some games , especially the aforementioned Crysis

Anything else I should put?

not surprised with the temp of the C2D T6000 series...

first of all, it's a T CPU...

secondly, it's probably made with cheaper material (the good ones went to T/P9000 and P8000)

thirdly, yes, it can be due to the way the cooling is made...

a run of 3D Maark 06 on my laptop will make the T9550 to peak at a low 6xC... and that's with no cooler...

Your T9550 seem much better. And i thought of giving the t6500 in the studio15 a good overclock as i had try it b4 with a 65nm allendale and expect a better oc headroom with 45nm penryn....

u see his idle temp, 4xC only, it's already cooler than my old laptop with T7100 (65nm), last time it's a high 4xC or low 5xC...

it's the long hour of use that tests the CPU to the limit... and clearly, a T6000 reaches it's own pretty fast...

in a desktop it doesn't but in a laptop it does
cuz 65nm design emits use more power and so end result emit more heat
in msia we're still ok but in middle eastern 40++ 50 degrees weather i think they'll all have to use their oc'ed laptop in a cold room

and damn talking about middle east i'm going there tomorrow night

Prototype is Really FUN, Killing around with our bad-ass looking character, and his spiky claw/tentacle/hammer brows.gif
The requirement seem quite low compare to other latest title, as my old rig have no problem running it at the max seting, I guess most lappie with decent discrete graphic card shud be able to play this at medium.
