QUOTE(karkadeeh @ Aug 12 2009, 09:01 PM) ya. the utility program called smart logon. u can login by face scan (via webcam). but its quite gey. most of the time it doesnt detect your face so you need to type in password as usual lol quite gey? hahaha.. ok then, but how to use it? dont know how to use this function.

Hi Hi, Another K40AB owner! Just bought it during Penang PC Fair. K40AB - 320Gb (RM2099). Upgraded it to max 4Gb RAM. Nice thing about this ASUS notebook i just bought compared to Compaq is that even I bought the Linux/FreeDos version, ASUS still comes with its driver & software CDs. Really sweet...just install OS and then autorun the CDs given....Viola...up and ready to use! (Well, I did when to ASUS website to update the driver/software version) Everything is working fine so far...though the whole bundle of softwares given in the CDs are kinda bloated (so I just installed the required stuffs and remove those like 'smartlogon' and etc).  Anyway, does any K40AB owners here knows if there is any manual (software/hardware) switching for wireless connection? I mean like Compaq, there is a button to ON/OFF the wireless connection..so does this K40AB have it? Also, i checked my CCC, is it normal for it to show 4 types of display modes? There are 2 HD3200 and 2 HD3470 displays detected.

HD3200 is weaker but consumes less power... HD4570 is vice versa...

both use the same driver... dun need "extra" ones...  that's the beauty of Advanced PowerPlay... choose which 1 u need base on ur use... want more battery? switch to HD3200... want more performance??? switch to HD4570...
