shud be everyone's method to clean dust i guess. hehee.. feels to good seeing da dusts being sucked out.. hahaa..

long term use.. i guess it wouldnt be any problem... they are built to withstand such environment... and if they are to break down.. tat means tats a bad built quality. if it lasts for a long period of time.. Thumbs up lor..

What is the disadvantage of Asus K40AB and K50AB?

no disadvantageous. 14'' vs 15.6'', no additional keypad @ k40ab. up to ur preferences

Erm... What kind of question is this??? Disadvantage compared to what???

Anyway, playing RE5 on K50AB now.... WOOOO!!! Most settings i had to customize... around 30++ FPS...

Just need to get a better mouse... any recommendations?

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.

right now i rather wait for Turion II and Athlon II instead...

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.

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 option

yeah.. thats the sad case.. no turion in malaysia.. tats y..

hmm.. anyone having any problem running NFS shift or batman AA??

win7 64bit here.. NFS is due to phyX problem.. but i could do manual installation.. an error came out and installation roll back..

Or you are referring to K40ab and k50ab model only?

NaGeNaZ has been happily whacking NFS shift all these while. , not sure which OS he's on

Not much review on playing GTA4 on this laptop huh?

nah pretty much unplayable..had tried it
even the medium config deskstop is struggling

Lowest configuration? I am not particular on high graphical performance, as long as I can play I am happy already

the bottleneck is the CPU...

tried on my laptop before (C2D T9550 + HD4650), the frame rate dun change much be it max graphic detail or lowest...

Guys, if i change the HDD now, and sold the HDD, what do you guys think of the warranty status?

Is the warranty require me to have all the default configuration (which includes original HDD) to be able to claim anything?

mmm yeah i guess it's better to keep the ori HD that comes wiht it

then how abt the memory ram? also need to keep the original one?

i doubt the warranty for ram and hdd is with asus.. shud be under individual company.. their stickers are still there..

well.. i have my ram and hdd changed already..
