not really...

Asus juz make it easier to overclock using softwares...

there are tonnes of software to overclock in the Internet, juz that it requires some settings, and may be intimidating to those who ve no idea wat is FSB, HT, multiplier, etc...

What's turbo33? THe overclock thingy?

seriously, u wouldn't want netbook for serious work... as the name suggests, it's ok for Net surfing and basic office works...

About the overclock thing, I really unsure! Other software like Everest and PassMark reads only 1GHz while I running Quite Office mode, but CPU-Z reads 2.1GHz all the way (I think CPU-Z more thrust worthly, cuz 1GHz is logically really slow. Plus, it not logic that I can play GRiD over 1GHz on Entertainment mode...)

And... I ran 2.1GHz during my battery test session?! Posted 7.5 hours?! That's INSANE!

Also, note that G210M supports Nvidia CUDA, while G105M not. Do AutoCAD software banefits from CUDA? If yes, then it a real nice choice to choose laptop with CUDA supports. It can speed up process tremendously.
*
officially speaking, G 210M do not support CUDA becuz of Nvidia's new policy of CUDA for mobile cards...

in the latest Forcware for mobile from Nvidia, u'll see that it writes CUDA is only for those GPU with 32SP and 256MB RAM... so the minimal for each generation of cards would be GeForce 8600M GT, GeForce 9500M GS, GeForce GT 120M and GeForce GT 220M...

of course, u can always bypass that with modded driver.. .laugh.gif

should be, but MSI is more convenient... there's a button on the laptop itself to do the work...

Hmm, I don't get it. The Power4Gear actually simply just changes some other things (not CPU and FSB speed). FOr example switching between IGP and discrete graphic, and switching between passive or active cooling... etc.

THere IS a turbo button but I didn't tried it yet. Hmm, perhaps I try it now, it require restart though.

it changes the fsb to gain 1.73GHz
the turbo button perhaps is express gate button.

Ugh...some technical terms flying around..Confused dy....Why can't you guys just conclude and say like, "Asus UL80V is better because the software beats MSI"...Instead of GPU D200203M is faster by 30% with Dual-threading technology edging past MSI which has Gforce N3094823AP with 1.39939KGHz processor running Triple-Multiple-Threading technology...

HAHAHAHAHA, NOW I FINALLY UNDERSTAND !!!! rclxm9.gif

SInce the first day I bought this laptop, it ALREADY running on TURBO mode! THe red "ON" button actually is the STATUS, not the button to turn ON turbo mode... LOL!!!

Now I turned OFF the turbo, and the CPU roll back to 1.7GHz. So UL80VT REALLY topped 7.5 hours on OVERCLOCKED stat!!! So, reaching 0ver 10 hours on normal stat IS REALLY POSSIBLE!! rclxm9.gif

Update: ASUS has informed us that the Best Buy model of the UL80Vt will have a rubberized palm rest. That's one complaint down....

@M1X, did yours come with rubberized palm rest?

well, u probably will need to understand some of these terms in order to maximise the performance of the laptop... laugh.gif

anyway, my pick is still Asus UL80Vt, mainly becuz:
1) less than rm3k
2) super long battery life
3) CPU can be overclocked by 33% to provide more performance for ur work
4) the dedicated G 210M can provide some degree of hardware acceleration for ur work, and still allow u to play games, mostly at mid settings...

Yes, all palm rest are plastic. Only the LCD lid is alluminium.

So... On turbo mode, the CPU top 2.1GHz with 1066FSB
On normal mode, the CPU hit around 1.7GHz with FSB around 820MHz...

I gonna checkout the temperature later... Yeah I gonna test the battery later!!! rclxm9.gif

plastic, that means glossy body?
rubberized palm rest should mean no glossy fingerprint-friendly hmm.gif

I didn't see any finger or palm print on my laptop though, the quality is good with unique "techy" style pattern, it not just bland surface. Maybe it vary on different models?

But of course, I wipe it some times cuz dust getting in my way... lol

Added on November 9, 2009, 10:36 amI gonna turn off my laptop a while to charge the battery little bit (don't mistaken, I ran this laptop since yesterday without plug in the battery. Cuz I don't like playing games with battery plugged in.)

Yeah..I don't trust those battery bars too..

My BenQ R43 supposedly can run 4 hours on a full charge, but once i surf the net and watch some videos, the laptop will be dead in 45 mins or less..

LOL, watching movie actually cost more battery power. I'm running BLUETOOTH now, and I think it gonna eat lots of battery. No choice, my sister took my phone USB cable, the only way I can get online now is via Bluetooth... DUH~

Use Bluetooth to get online??

How you do that??

Eh, UL80V doesn't have bluetooth right? Or should I say, need to pay more to add that into the package..
