Run a battery test now that PowerXpress worked like a charm. I managed to get one and a half hour when watching movies. Full detail on 2nd post smile.gif

ouch.. thats a good model.. turions with 2.2Ghz..

malaysia only sells athlon models therefore.. all of us here own athlon models..

well.. go for it.. i reckon its quite a nice price.. but include shipping i aint sure thou.. includes windows too.. nice deal...

go for it i'd say.. hahaa.. with turion.. u wont get heated up so fast as we do.. and u have 800Mhz utilised ram.. ah cool...

yeah and we Asians, usually get those inferior specs n whats worst, more expensive vmad.gif

Lol is there really big difference between athlon and turion??

Hmm which place are you going by the way?
*
there are 3-p states on turion, therefore, u can toy around for longer battery life.

I faced 2 fan bugs,where

a) happened twice, just boot it up, and it kept spinning fast. restarting didn't help. have to shut down. wait a few secs and power up again
b) battery mode,power4 battery saving,Power Saving GPU once the battery has been drained & goes into hibernation, when i plug in the AC and power up, it spins max

That thing uses Athlon Neo, for extended battery life but of course lower performance, k40AB is way better. Weird, if they wanted to use low voltage CPU for more battery life why use HD4570 GPU? What is this laptop for when k40AB is here? sweat.gif

AMD's temporary solution to CULV's perhaps?
gaming/battery life on the go

lol..i would rather top up for the UL80Vt/50 series. G210m is not bad too

And i yet to face crashes with NFS Shift.
