ntg new from the users i guess.. all satisfied

Looking for a gaming laptop, looking at Dell Studio 15. But someone recommend K40ab so I come and have a look. Pricing is very attractive but till people say need to open back cover when gaming? Please advise.

actually, hot is subjective. Any laptop will get hot when gaming, not a single one will remain cool, except if you play it inside a server's room. but yourself maybe freezing, so not advisable.

but how comfortable are you to play when a laptop gets too hot? For me, this laptop have a really superior design, coz the armrest is always cooler than you palm. refer to the first page to see where the main heat is all about.

like a desktop, most people dont even bother to close the casing. this laptop bottom case can be opened without voiding the warranty. that is the plus point.

the main prob with this laptop is, is the fan. except booting, it wont blow any faster than around 20~30% of its speed. and even in high heat, it will just remain unnoticeable. we cant hear a single thing. a really really quite whisper.

see my signature for the full specs of this laptop. K40AB, K50AB share the same hardware, the difference is screensize ( duhh. 14" ->15.6"), K50 have numpad!! and 20 minutes lesser battery time. using vista battery saver, can get at most 2hours. normally, around 1 hour, 50 minutes.

Comparing the k40/50ab to dell studio15. you pay for what u get, considering the price:performance:feature paid ratio, they are about the same. Differences are

Dell Studio 15 :
-intel cpu (better batt life & performance clock to clock)
- hdmi, esata
-faster gddr3 ati 4570 (680/800)
- Vista/Win7 OS

Asus k40/50Ab
- amd x2 cpu (lower batt life, & lower performance clock to clock to intel)
- no hdmi, no esata
- ddr2 ati 4570 (680/500) , memory overclockable to 600mhz
- free dos
- 2 years warranty, yes a BIG Plus point

That’s about rm700 diff, so basically it depends what you wan

Nope, there's no need to open casing when gaming. Palm rest is very cool..you should ty it out

the palm rest is only on the second batch?
i buy at the pc fair first batch...

Thanks to both of your replies. Do really appreciate it. Now I know the big different. LoL. Yes, money do the talk in the sense. And that is the actual reason I come in and have a look

its really value for the price paid..where to find such spec with rm2k pricing?

yea and best graphic that always boost up the sales

yeap.. price is the biggest thing here..

Yes. You are right, this considered as value buy laptop.
I am considering....

How much is k50AB right now? Global warranty right?

i personally think that this is the best RM2k gaming laptop. no other system can get this close.

but if you can spend more money, get to the other Asus thread, and ask astria or perfect stranger about it. they may know any other Asus system that will suit your budget.

Well, k50AB is still RM 1999... (250gb)
I never see the 320gb one...

Then it is indeed global/international warranty..
You will feel safe bringing it to any country.

Bear in mind that frame buffer for both S15 and K50ab are different

DDR2 vs GDDR3 K40ab scores around 3k while S15 is around 4k in 3d Mark06

Besides S15 has other better features: Customization ,esata,hdmi,better cpu&gpu.I know that K40/50ab is unbeatable at its price but forking out another RM700 is worthwhile IMHO

me2..not yet see any k50ab with 320gb..but the shop taukeh told me need to order.. duno how true it is..i am still waiting..

iianm, there are news that k50ab has been discontinued, it was also mentioned by several resellers. not sure how true it is

frame buffer 512mb is the same. diff is the memory speed, where studio 15 is 800mhz vs asus's 500mhz

again, do not take 3dmark06 as the ultimate gauge point. if u do analyze properly, cpu factor is also taken in account, where we know AMD is inferior is this category

Actually after customization, my selection of Studio 15 is RM3682. If I buy this laptop, I can save RM1682 which is very tempting

wow..tats a lot..u must be customized a lot the studio 15....the money u save can get you another netbook with balance left
