I just got my K40ab from PC City in Kuching last week. Selling price at RM1999 and I add on another 2gb of ram which cost another RM85.

The laptop itself comes with a beg and a mouse other then the laptop and the power cable. PC City was kind enough to throw in a bunch of free gift - notebook cooler, another mouse, lcd protector, lcd cleaner, usb 4-ports hub and keyboard protector. The LCD protector given to me was a 14.4" but can't fit the K40ab cause K40ab screen ratio is 16:9...HD size I suppose. So if you are buying LCD screen protector, do take note of that.

Hello guys,

I just bought this laptop (ASUS K40AB). Yes the sticker does display ATI RADEON HD 4570.
I've updated with the latest driver.
I checked using GPU-Z, Windows Properties, ATI Catalyst, it says HD 3200.
I've checked using a lot of things but it says my graphics is HD 3200.
What is the problem? Or am I being cheated?

Thanks.

I have a hard time get the HD4570 to show up also, tried a few drivers and it still don't work. CCC 4.5 will make it show up but it some how become extended monitor and I can in no way make it right. But at last I installed driver from ASUS international website and it is working fine. You can switch it with the power express thingy!

So finally you decide to get this k40ab tongue.gif  Congrats on your new lappies!!!  thumbup.gif
How are the operating temps for you? If you feel it's too hot, you could try to downvolt it, and remebr to enable CnQ as well.

CnQ=Cool n Quite, it would downclock your cpu when it's idle, hence use less power and less heat also. Use CPUz and check if your clock speed keep throttling or not.
About the undervolt, a lot of people been doing it and no problem, it's working great for my brisbane too, just be careful and you would be fine.

Haha, I am very lost now. So how should I enable the CnQ? Guide me if you don't mind? tongue.gif

In Kuching, PC City is the dealer for ASUS. I found out some other shop selling it at a higher price, RM2099. Somemore this modal sorta HOT in Kuching and you actually need to place order, no ready stock because it just finish so fast.
