@craw thanks bro...well, i bet HD4570 > Nvidia  g 105M biggrin.gif

from benchmark, i can see 4570 thumping over 105, but i see acer has VHP bundled haha...

but tbh, i never liked acer design =.=... u know i once called acer laptops as 'cash register' i mean, look at the color, the bulkiness haha >.<
*
u missed out V1 i guess.. somebody asked about it too...

k40ab total ownage over acer..


Added on November 3, 2009, 10:49 amand to add-on... acer economical laptops are bad bad experience.. bad built quality

no option..
can point me where it's situated?
under advance tab? later back home will take a pic..
*
it should be under the advanced tab.. or browse thru... it should be something like graphic adapter.. after a fresh bios flash, it should show Powerxpress.


Added on November 4, 2009, 4:02 pmdoubt theres any release on k50ab with ql65... i think k51 is gonna replace k50 soon... hahaa..

@NaGeNaZ: i see... i tried 1.05V... its always my default undervolt.. sometimes it runs fine.. games... etc.. sometimes it will just go BSOD... its weird.. it seems to me like hardware failure... bad set of k50 i got i guess..

Every sets of cpu is unique, some can go 1.025v but thats doesn't mean that yours is bad set. Maybe you can try 1.075v. Its better than the default 1.15v right.
*
yeah.. but the lower the better wouldnt it be? im on 1.0625 now... well.. sometimes i go to 1.05v... depends on what i am doing with the lappy..
hahaa.. wonder whats so good bout my lappy.. maybe the cooling? hahaa..

the intel proc have better performance that's why pricey..

spec to compare

studio 15
- no num key
- 2 usb
- e-sata
- hdmi
- 2.0mp camera

asus k50ab
- have num key
- 4 usb
- vga
- 1.3mp camera
- have igp - in my case don't have -lol

dell can customize backlit keyboard for additional RM64 i guess..
came with win 7 home premium recently..
but the lack of usb not enough.. if use 1 for mouse then for external drive or others like fan etc?
*
and to add on.. Dell supports 800Mhz of ram.. its 4570 has faster clock speed.
asus has 2 yrs warranty. lighter.. cheaper of cos..

For something that cost RM5k & above, it should have it right.

Anyway guys anyone using Dicota Backpac Easy for K50AB? Priced RM89. Although it stated can support until 15.4 inch lappy, i'm afraid it wont fit. Any recommendation other than this? Prefer a value padded pac's as i travel by bike everyday. Help me on this guys.  icon_rolleyes.gif

erm.. is the compartment for laptop vertical?? if it is.. is shud fit well.. im using a targus for 15.4 too.. compartment is just fine... how about Golla?? they look nice.. almost the same price either..

any k40ab users using 213 bios??? having any problems with the graphics??

QUOTE(Najmods @ Nov 7 2009, 01:38 PM)
Weird, with 213 only detect HD4570, even in PowerXpress it cant switch to HD3200 but only stays using HD4570. End up using dGPU again
*
hmm.. same case applies to my fren's k40ab previously.. he is on the old bios with the stock driver on dGPU mode.. then he updated the bios but on powerxpress mode.. only detect 4570...

and now i help him to update 9.10... but hardware not detected anymore.. its darn weird... i feel k40ab 213 bios is giving problems... so now he reverted back to 203 bios.. on dGPU mode again.. but with 9.10

erm.. i guess urs is the new set.. with ql65 right?? maybe asus disabled the onboard graphics?? im not sure..

my fren's is still on ql64 version.. he can select VGA type in the bios..

well.. if urs is on 4570 all the time.. then it should be fine..

yeap on k50ab.

8vvt (on k50ab) has some issues too..where regardless of any bioses, he doesnt seem to hav the option of toggling btwn power express & dgpu. only dGPU all the time
*
he has the ql65 version.. might be new hardware i guess.. his set dont even have to option so switch..

now its the ql64 version.. with the ability to choose the VGA type... but it doesnt detect the hardware..
