I thought Teledynamics handle all warranties in Malaysia
I not sure bro, sorry

Actually I post here before about the 500GB portable hard disk as a free gift when u purhcase F60 during PC Fair. I think I am not so lucky :-( .

Free gift when I purhcase F60?? NONE, that why I posted here also, worry I have been cheated, but the retailer offer me a cheaper price for MS office and antivirus software license.

So far I am quite satisfy with it, only battery not that lasting...
For pricing, yes they will go cheaper as time pass by or new model intro in, new tech = higher price....old tech = cheaper. Now if u buy Core 2 duo or older one, will get is less than RM2k

Anyway I still need to purchase portable hard disk, portable DVD burner...any recommendation...

Is your graphic card NVIDiA GeForce G310M? Or your M500 is an earlier version 1? O____O
Because there isn't any update for the G310M yet at the moment.
Did the download occur completely? Perhaps some intermittent problem, try downloading again if possible and make sure the laptop model and GC is rightly selected.
By the way, U download it from?

Hehe, glad that you chose the Qosmio F60, there are currently 3 ppl whom I know of using the F60 at the moment Yes, the F60 is currently the cheapest Qosmio around
Well, the i3 variant + the GT330M will definitely be able to handle DOTA with no sweat at all hehehe!
The i3 F60 cost RM 3,799, may be a lot cheaper during the upcoming PC Fair
The i5 F60 costs RM 4,799. Local warranty extension for 3 years = RM639.

Er, Average gamer + Uni, I don't think the Qosmio F60 is quite suitable because of the weight and size; unless your cousin has his/her own transport, and is willing to sacrifice mobility for performance.. then only get a F60. I'm a Uni student myself hehe
N82Jv can be a good choice too. i5-520M, GT335M, 14.1', Altec Lansing @RM3,999

Hmmm, that's very weird...
Perhaps you can try the automatic driver update here (if you haven't already): http://www.nvidia.com/Download/PreScan.aspx?lang=en-us
My guess is need to download again
Hope it works for you ^^

my toshiva M200, 1 year+ , rosak motherboard!!! arghhhh!! need to wait few weeks for the spare part to come. Apa lah...I thought toshiba best. = ="

Hmm, I've also heard from a couple of people about burnt motherboards on the M100, M200 series. Same happened to me when I played L4D without using my cooler pad Serve me right haihzzz..... There seems to be heat problems for earlier Toshiba units, including the M100 and M200. Well, fortunately they are discontinued already ^___^ No heat problems for the M500 and Qosmio F60 though keke

Sometimes buying a laptop depends on luck, but more importantly, it depends on usage I have no regrets when my M100's motherboard burnt after 2 years because I've been "thrashing" it like hell haha, Maple from morning till night and played all games during that time

Oh ya, heat problems may also be due to accumulation of dust on the laptop fan after prolonged usage, it is imperative that you clean it as frequently as possible Not forgetting the fan of the cooler pad too ^^

Well, survey has shown that ASUS is the best, followed by Toshiba hehe

Already ordered my T110,Tuesday picking it up..
rm2199 wth Toshiba DVD writer, and rm299 extended warranty..

How is this model? Worth RM2099?

Toshiba Satellite Pro L510-B402
T6570
2GB DDR3
250GB HDD (5400rpm)
ATi HD4570

This http://laptops.toshiba.com/laptops/satellite-pro/L510 is how it looks like.

Thanks.

Wah, congratulations bro on your new laptop!
Have you tried it out? How was it?
I've always like the T110 and T130's design
Do let us know how you feel about the laptop, pros and cons if you are free. It would be good to share some personal experiences with potential Toshiba buyers! hehe~
Grats again!!
I'm sure Toshiba will serve you well ^^

Added on April 10, 2010, 2:21 amWow! Where did you find these specs for the Satellite Pro L510?
I've seen one before but I din't know it offers such good specs for that amount of money hehe
If all the specifications are correct, then its worth it, for a Toshiba unit that is, there are probably other laptops with equal or better specs for the same price i.e. Acer, DELL, ASUS etc.

The Satellite L510 with T6600 2.2ghz, 4GB DDR3, 320GB, ATI HD5470 costs RM 2,699 ar (including 2nd and 3rd year local warranty)
Have you personally seen this laptop? Are there shops selling with this kind of specs? I've seen 1 or 2, but not sure the specs are as stated above or not
The whole laptop is made from matte surface, so it won't be glossy at all and thus, it won't collect fingerprints

Not a bad choice if Toshiba is the brand you desire ^^

It is selling at PC fair. Btw, what so good about Toshiba?

The Pros at first glance is lightweight, solid feel, and thin for me, abd it comes with a Toshiba external DVD drive.
The cons is the finger prints because of the glossy finishing, but i'm ok with that.
But weird thing is it does not come with Toshiba carryig case, few shop i ask also the same thing, come with aftermarket backpack the most..
I'm getting a cooler master, any model to recommend?

Guess im happy to answer your question.

My Satellite Pro served me well for 6 yrs for 24/7 downloading non stop on restart to refresh the RAM and start downloading again.
So, im very confident on Toshiba reliability.

Wow, 52560 hours...

Yup, it sure is slim and solid. I like it a lot too, especially the design on the surface of the palm rest, very nice!
Its a smart thing to exclude the DVD drive cause I can't really remember the last time I used the DVD ROM haha, everything is transfered via pendrive and external HDD nowadays Wah, Toshiba got sell external DVD drive? cool~
Ya, I understand how you feel, my Qosmio also very 99% glossy haha... I'm ok with it too because it will never look old, worth all the cleaning keke
Huh? No carrying case ar
Well, I've noticed that Toshiba really put less focus on their carrying bags nowadays (probably to cut cost). The previous 14' carrying case were very high quality 1, now its not... perhaps Toshiba thinks that everyone would buy a new backpack instead of using the carrying case? haha!
But the Qosmio's sling carrying case is still superb in terms of quality... too bad I won't be using it cause the 15.6' monster will break one of my shoulders haha

I'm not very pro in terms of cooler pads. But my previous readings have resulted in me buying the Cooler Master Notepal U2. There are 2 variants, 1 is for netbooks (8.9-12') like the T110 (I think is around RM 50+ if I remembered correctly), while the other is for 14'- 17' laptops (RM68).
Picture here:


Now, the pros and cons:

Pros:
1. The fans are adjustable, meaning you can choose to place it anywhere, especially under the heat sinks of your lappy for optimal cooling! Also, they are totally removable if you want to decrease weight
2. The whole surface is made up of small holes for better heat dissipation, material is aluminium.
3. Powerful fans
4. The fans are easily cleanable, noneed open this and that
5. Its not exactly expensive compared to other models
6. You can remove the fans and place your laptop "into" the cooler which will act as a protective cover

Cons:
1. Only 1 USB "extender"- dunno what its called, U can connect another USB to the cooler's USB port
2. Cannot be used on lap, needs flat surfaces
3. The rubber looks cheap haha. Or its just me

Perhaps there are better models out there but I think this would be good enough already since I've no heat problems gaming with my F60 while using this cooler pad Still, its better to ask around and see whether there are better alternatives 1st, cheers!

thanks for thee recommendation.. Will survey more about it..
The pc shop will rip off my old asus's harddrive and make it into a external hdd for me.. 8)

Wow, you can actually do that? Cool!
The ASUS HDD got casing ar?

No la, need to buy casing and they'll do it for me..
Hopefully Toshiba won't let me down..
The shop told me waranty is handled by tele dynamics..

You got buy screen and keyboard protector for your laptop?

The female workers in Teledynamics Shah Alam are very pretty
Even though sometimes it depends on luck, Toshiba units seldom let people down as long as you take good care of it~ cheers!

Added on April 11, 2010, 7:11 pmNope, it seems there are no keyboard protectors which are large enough. Saw from another Vostro 3700 thread, 2 keyboard protectors are required to cover the keyboard
I guess i will just stick to vacuuming hehehe
