Yeah talking about uniqueness, lucky me didn't bought the Acer 4736g nvidia 105g. Ran out of stocks. sweat.gif

I would have feel inadequate, hopelessness & sore loser badge stamped on my forehead if i did.

15 inch? omg ==

Is that good or bad. I prefer bigger screen, dont mind about mobility cause its not much different than 14inch lappy. Then just take K40ab la.

Upgrade the bios. bios version 2.03 can't enter/resume hibernation properly.
No need to open the back cover la bro. That is only needed if you're hardcore gamer & need nuclear rod cooling. laugh.gif

Winflash the easiest. Make sure no interruption during update process.

The design of the intake ventilation hole make it almost useless for using cooling pad, make it blow type or suction type. In 5 seconds it can rise up 20'c. shakehead.gif

I am rocking with NFS: Shift now. Graphics is ok, but need fine tuning to get more fps with AMD Fusion on.

bro,
i installed nfs shift on my lappy but it takes really long time to loading
is it the laptop itself have problem or the game installer hav problem?
it takes around 15 minutes and i only can see the tire spinning only at the start
i watch spongebob from 5pm to 5.30pm, and it dont even start yet
huhuhu  rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif

That's weird, mine takes less than a minutes to load. Does your other games behave the same? Otherwise, it may be the game installer. Try reinstalling the game from another DVD, make sure to update DIRECT-X 10 from Microsoft. Could be also VGA driver not properly installed.

Or the game loading on HD3200 on Power Xpress mode?

Did you utilize the fan bug? Mine spin fast only when gaming, rest of the time my cooler pad makes the most noise. sweat.gif

Full speed surely a bit noisy la.

Gaming or non gaming, the fan can take the pounding at full speed. But can you tolerate the noise? If yes then there should be no problem. So far never heard cpu fan failure before.

yup, my fren also envy the laptop finishing and the design. sort of like carbon fiber kind of design.

Haha.. especially when under light, it gives you the impression of a fine glossy expensive design. Its like some kind of snake skin for me (Asian King Cobra perhaps). My personal view la.

NFS: Shift can be played smoothly with few tune-up's. Gaming like hell now.

dGPU mode will surely consume more energy than on HD3200. Yes u can change it whenever you like but not recommended.

wowww...

seems like this laptop is full of Do-it-youself....everything needa be done ourself...

i mean its like wat we are paying is just for the cool graphic card..but a lot of tweaking to be done on our own...

any comment on this?....

am scouting around for this model too...but as i am not reli good at tweaking stuff...am considering other more user-friendly model too...

Yup, its not like most system when you just buy one & ready to blast. Actually you can but you wont be satisfied with default setting. Things like Overdrive, Fusion, K10stats, DNA mod driver is just the basic tune ups.

Its all in the details. cool2.gif
