QUOTE(miahahaha @ Oct 7 2009, 01:41 PM) Just use vacuum cleaner to suck the dust will do...  QUOTE(astria @ Oct 7 2009, 02:08 PM) my all time favourite method to deal with any computers...  desktops included... I thought it is not recommended to do so on desktop, no? As vacuum sucking is too strong, some fragile components/parts will be suck as well. Although I do it as well, but just on the fan. 
Added on October 7, 2009, 4:08 pmAMD turion on k40ab in singapore is $1198. That's is during Comex show last month. Free 8gb thumb drive, bluetooth dongle, free upgrade to 4gb ram, asus carrying bag and optical mouse. http://www.bootstrike.com/itfairsg/comex20...ochure-leaflet/What you guys think?

QUOTE(kucingfight @ Oct 7 2009, 04:15 PM) my calculator says SGD1198 = rm2935 if the k40ab (malaysia) were to be matched up with SG's spec = +2gb ram (rm110) = Vista OS (RM350?) = turion rm74 mmm (100mhz more & additional P-state) = FOC stuffs? neah kinda useless (the bag & mouse comes with default with it, not free as a package) the 'malaysia' set is definitely more worth it, that is with the exception of the legality of the OS But Malaysia k40ab dun have turion model right? Yeah, if purchase in Malaysia, I will ask for freedos.  |

QUOTE(kucingfight @ Oct 7 2009, 04:21 PM) yup no turion. the turion has an additional P state to further 'undervolt' @ lower speed well, there's no option for any OS here, freedos is the only optionBusiness laptop got OS mar  Even studio 15 Or you are referring to K40ab and k50ab model only?

QUOTE(GothFebrio @ Oct 7 2009, 09:52 PM) processor, ram and hdd is not covered by asus. the warranty is by the dealer. the one who we buy with. its ur choise to change the hdd. but the warranty will be void for the hdd only. Then what is the point for global warranty? |

QUOTE(kucingfight @ Oct 7 2009, 10:08 PM) to Asus service centre right away. If u send it to dealer, they will send it back to service centre too. yeah exactly, that's why..i would recommend to keep the original HD/Rams along with it, even if u decide to upgrade. If anything happens, juz swapped it back Yes. Based on the invoice.  Anyway, they expected already, either these 2 only. RAM and HDD. Cause nothing else to upgrade. |

QUOTE(Hico @ Oct 7 2009, 10:18 PM) i remembered last time i did ask the shop and he told me asus cover everything for 2 yrs except the adapter and battery only 1 yr... so i dun think the waranty for ram, hdd and processor is from dealer..suppose to send to asus service centre then the centre will go claim from the manufacturer... if those thing cover by dealer, then they also quite busy doing the replacement unless u upgrade the ram or HDD when u purchase, then the extra ram or HDD is cover by the dealer who you purchase and he will claim from the manufacturer...correct me if i am wrong..just my own opinion.. Dealer, reseller, retail won't want to cover the RAM and HDD themselves for sure. Unless you willing pay more for longer & local warranty This post has been edited by Joshua_0718: Oct 7 2009, 10:23 PM |

QUOTE(Hico @ Oct 7 2009, 10:31 PM) true...even if you buy the ram or hdd from them, they will help you to claim but not waranty by them.. same like HDD first yr shop wil help you to claim..2nd yr u have to send back to the manufacturer urself oledi.. ram also the same.. tats what i did b4..send back directly to WD for my faulty HDD after 1 yr.. For me I did not send to dealer at all. I directly deal with the distributor or manufacturer unless I don't have a choice at all. Much faster. Retailer something delay your RMA.  |

QUOTE(Hico @ Oct 7 2009, 10:50 PM) yalo..no choice..i am not from kl..so have to depend on the shop i bought.. or else need to send by post..dangerous also if missing or anything happen during delivery..  If you are in Penang, it is quite convenience to contact with the distributor too. |

Added on October 8, 2009, 12:54 pmJust to double confirm. By default the 2GB ram will come in 2x1GB or 1x2GB ram? This post has been edited by Joshua_0718: Oct 8 2009, 12:54 PM |

QUOTE(maggi @ Oct 9 2009, 04:28 PM) hehe..i m noobie v pc thing la, i dunno how to solve it . i just bouht it n 1 2 view pic from my camera , but loads like snail  Direct transfer all your picture into your laptop 1st, then read from them. It would be a lot faster. If you read from your digital camera, for sure it would be slower as it does not have much memory to process. QUOTE(kucingfight @ Oct 9 2009, 04:45 PM) if u read directly from camera, off course it's slow. transfer to ur harddisk n open from there  Don't be so mean, people don't know mar. |
