i think it's only 4cells = 44wh

6cells should be = 52wh?

nope..i don think there's a 9 celler

ASUS K50AB = NEW BIOS OUT , 216

mmm i'm not sure what are the changes with the latest bios

powerplay 3200->4570 still having issues..blank screen. not sure if it's catalyst related or not

maybe becoz the same questions kept on repeating itself? eventhough it's clearly stated @ 1st post?

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

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

well again if ur looking for something cheap n below 2k, this is the one

else, self customization of over >3.5k kinda defeats the purpose of the whole idea. there are other options for that price

lol..guess ur choice has been clearly spoken...

*no regrets having this

yeah..rm2k is peanuts la, especially when it's divided 2.45

ah..pathetic RMs

k40ab 250gb is selling rm1899 which is even sweeter

aya ya lar..evernew rite? u were with another guy ? damn should have haggled price down if we bought tgthr

there's no need for a cooler. the design of the intake/outake doesnt seem to be affected by any sorts of external cooler, as tested by others , virtually no temp diff

u need to install the SRS software in the asus cd...asus's site doesnt provide the link

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

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

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

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

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

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

mmm not sure what are the warranty terms are like.

But, well they could find fault with it

"oh, HD and rams changed, laptop was opened & meddled..warranty void. Habis cerita" , if they are mean enough

to Asus service centre right away. If u send it to dealer, they will send it back to service centre too.
yeah exactly, that's why..i would recommend to keep the original HD/Rams along with it, even if u decide to upgrade.

If anything happens, juz swapped it back
