catalyst version is what you install. just remember what you install is fine. haha.

i typed wrong, should be 1.15v.

the main reason i bought 15" is of course, the big 15" screen, really enjoyed my movie with this baby! even my housemate jeles already.

and another reason is the numpad. ffull keyboard with numpad is a plus to all 15" and above laptop.

the gpu-z and cpu-z wont detect our card correctly so the speed will be reported some stupid value.

welkam fiqir! I know there will always be someone who will buy the intel version of the k40/k50.

for me i dont care it is an intel or amd system anymore. as long as i get the best out of my hard-earned money, the best price/performance ratio, then it will be OK.

My last laptop is Intel n nVidia laptop. now AMD n ATi laptop. maybe in the future, i want Intel and ATi combo. if i got the money to spare tat is.

have you tried to read the disc from other laptop or desktop first? maybe the DVD is scratched. I so far have no problem reading any disc from my previous laptop or desktop that i burned.

the warranty is 2 years international. so no matter where you go, it is 2 years.

do you have? how much wan to offer? i'm looking to upgrade the hdd coz not satisfied with the disk performance.

we are the rare owner of k50ab.
hu hu huh hu hu hu hu hu hu~
fu fu fu fu fu fu fu~
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha~

150 unit both k40 and k50? or just k50 only?

after upgrade bios i have prob the VGA driver suddenly ilang, dunno why.

just reinstall back the driver and Ok, all fix.

go update la the bios, it fixes 2 things. the brightness issue and the blank display after waking up from sleep issue. but it also disables the Fan Bug.

i can live without the fan bug. you guys?

anything new? gonna test it also...

i'm using the dGPU mode now, so dunno what the prob.

but the powerplay also works in dGPU mode.

if we use the AMD GPU Clock tool, we can see the GPU clock is at ~220mhz core ~250mhz mem. and the voltage is 0.9v if there are no usage.

gaming mode is full speed 680mhz/500mhz, 1.1v

dunno yet. usually manufacturers have no obligation to just update the bios on a whim. must have something like bug fix.

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.

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.

dell really have a lot of customization. try not to upgrade your ram or make partitions, coz you can really cut cost there.

most of upgrade like rams, hdd, mouse, can be bought elsewhere for much2 lower price than you pay for to dell.

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?
