YeaH, Here is Asus Royal CUP not Notebook Royal Club

just curious here, compare to vista, what do u like/love about win7? Boot up much faster?

good to hear that! can express gate still bootup after u change to win7?

Asus's Terms and Conditions stated "The upgrade order must be requested no later than 02/15/ 2010." But, it's unclear as to which timezone the date is so fixed ... Hence, for easy-to-remember n prudence, let's fix the date to VALENTINE'S DAY next year. If gf/Bf or wife/husband/mistress/gay/lesb ask you want what gift for Valentine, u can tell her/him "Asus Win7 Upgrade DvD" loh

Imagine this, one morning u can't bootup your windows , your important Word/Excel/Powerpoint files are inside the hard drive , and that morning, is the due date for you to submit your thesis n u need to print out your hard work for the past 20 years ! With this ExpressGate, Teng teng teng TANG! u can press a button and within 8 Seconds boot into a Mini Linux Based Operating System ! From there, you can access your hard drive , online surfing , chatting, listen music , copy files to your usb drive, etc. The ExpressGate is my Emergency Entrance to my hard drive

I thought 9in Netbook can last much much longer? coz even asus U80V 14in here can easily last for 4hours 30min...

Can you post the picture of your keyboard silicon cover? Izzit the exact size designed for u80v chiclet keyboard?

Thanks for the pic! I was looking for one that fit my u80v perfectly But i think I have to get one like yours and customised the size before my fingernails scratch the buttons way too seriously especially the key U on top, F,K on middle and C on bottom...

Added on December 7, 2009, 12:58 pmi wanna ask how to do the hard way if all we got from our new lappy is the Asus Recovery Dvd? I thought even if we reFormated the drive and applied the Recovery Dvd everything i.e. Windows Os + bloatwares will be restored just like the factory installed version?

Or is there an Option in Asus Recovery menu to Only restore the operating system?

Pls enlighten me guru guru in the universe!

According to Evernew, Asus does not offer 'extended warranty' in Malaysia.

The 'extended limited warranty' you can get is actually offered by Evernew directly, and has Nothing to do with Asus.

Hence, if you gonna pay for the 1 year or 2 years extended warranty, u have to take the risk that the company Evernew might close shop within 2 years, or in the case where there's a change in 'ownership/bosses' in Evernew they may void the warranty as they wish.

And also, based on experience, one has to expect the warranty claim might take a longer times and part availability is not guaranteed as Asus is not the one who manages the deal.

The Choice is Yours

Did your salesman tell you this?

"ASUS comes from the last four letters of PEGASUS, the winged horse in Greek mythology that represents the inspiration of art and learning.

ASUS embodies the strength, creative spirit and purity symbolized by this regal and agile mythical creature, soaring to new heights of quality and innovation with each product it introduces to the market."

i mean the origin of the Asus name explained in the quoted text above.

The Evernew Salesman is also the Supervisor there haha so are you saying the Extended Warranty of 1 year or 2 year we can either get it from Evernew (i.e. warranty provided by Evernew not Asus) OR we can get it from Asus Royal Club directly ( i.e. extended warranty by Asus) right after our purchase?

In WIN7 my asus U80v ambient light sensor stop working whenever waking up from Standby or whenever I switches Power Plan under Power4Gear Hybrid, any idea how to solve it? or exactly which driver i need to update to solve the issue?

Just updated mine before I clean install my win7, the latest bios version has support for win7 (But it's unclear what sort of 'support' )

Okay what i did was:

- go to asus site, download the Bios file (zip file) and also the asus WinFlash program (if u dun hav it installed)..
- unzip the zip file contained the bios file
- PLUG IN YOUR NOTEBOOK BATTERY (fully charged of course) and PLUG in your AC power too, cause you won't like any power lost during the bios flashing period..just in case for example, your power utility company cut off your power supply due to various reason like terrorist attack or overdue bill and also maybe your battery gave up working suddenly...

- run winFlash, choose the bios file u unzip
- PRAY HARD
- Pray again
- Flash it.

Actually, I didn't plug in the battery, i just used the ac power and I also forgot to pray, because I m adventurous type

I think I've solved the issue with Ambient Light Sensor ALS i described above

Wat I did was: Go To > Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Location and Other Sensors > under "Light Sensor" I tick "ENABLE" then press Apply. I restarted the system, wait for awhile, then went into Standby, then wake up from Standby, the sensor is still working, I tested with my LED torchlight Then I switched off all the light in the room, complete darkness, the sensor detected it and turned on the Keyboard backlit .

Strangely, I Untick the "ENABLE" box in "Light Sensor" setting again, i.e. I disabled it, restarted the system and tested the sensor again with the method described above, the sensor still working FINE

I think, windows, like alwez, is really amazingly FUN to work with

okay, u can try to go to your Graphic Adapter console settings there, try to Rotate your screen by 360 degree, and press okay. Then go to Windows Index Rating again, rate your system again, the gpu rating shd rise now...it is a windows earth gravity incompatibility issue, article #X2009MAS..

I just bought a universal type silicone keyboard cover for RM4.90 at low yat plaza ALL IT hypermart, the quality is very good, brandname is Vztec. Some shops r selling it for RM15.90
