Search for K50AB last Sunday..
Almost find all shop that with asus lappy..
All say either no stock or not coming d..
then tuesday go n get a K50IN..
Not bad oso la~
I found tat there gt little diff cooler design compare to 1st post one..
1st post tat one using normal fan n i saw that mine is using another (forgotten wat da name, HIS IceQ tat kind)
the only cons i found is speaker too soft n place in found.. coz always put half of lappy at the table only.. so there got nothing for it to reflect back..
and there got no bluetooth.. i tgt only AB model dun hv bluetooth..
and it very less interface..(esata, hdmi, express card).. but nvm la.. nt using oso..haha
and i found tat.. this lappy is SIBEH cool... wont feels hot at all.. even bottom..

The AB cpu is not hot, the system fan is the heat culprit in this matter. Its spin too slow when cpu heat built up. I quess the main advantage of the Intel K-IN series is less heat.

Blame the K-AB fan speed.

Can't do. The option is locked so there is no way to manually control it. Another way is the fan bug of course.

If burn it would create unnecessary hassle la. Hopefully can withstand first few years.

The NB probe takes lot of resources in windows so i just uninstall it. Using hardware monitor for temperature monitoring.

Played GTA IV on it

not bad, managed to hit 15-20FPS @ 1366 x 768.

probably, a more powerful cpu would be able to scale better

GTA IV quite demanding right. The fps should be better at 1024x768.

I just hope the new upcoming graphic engine for COD Modern Warfare 2 is playable with good frame rates with HD4570. Seriously i cant wait for it. cool2.gif

yeap VERY demanding. one of those games that actually appreciates quadcore.

given k40/50ab specs, i was suprised it ran rather well..15-20 seems acceptably 'smooth' to me smile.gif

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

k40ab doesnt come with hdmi ??? really ?

There's no need to use picture to poison others, the price, warranty and spec is more than enough for the job biggrin.gif
