Today,i went to lowyat to get my benQ-S42. When i arrival there ,i immediately go to Thunder Match Shop at Floor 4...
when i went in tat shop,i saw tat benq S57 is showing on there,but i wan get S42 first.Thus,i ask one staff and him said that is out of stock already .. Haiz, then i walk around inside the shop, i met another staff and ask again about S42 and him helped to checked. Wow, they still has a display S42 at Ground floor (display? yes,display laptop..but no choice ,that is last one them sell it with RM2199)

After i knew that news,i immediately went down to Ground floor there.Yes,i found it ...then i ask staff to get it .That Malay staff helped to prepare it ,but him unable open the laptop lock and said the laptop lock is "Rosak" ,it is unable open ..try choose other la. Shit, i`m disappointed about it. I went out walk walk and consider how about S57..

Finally,i decided go get S57, but i ask another Chinese staff helped me to solved the laptop because i wan buy it. OK! he said call someone to open it due to laptop lock is "ROSAK". Hence, i went to took my dinner and came back that shop at 7:15pm..Then they showed me that S42 ... What the hell ,that laptop lock still there ,they only cut and pull out the laptop lock cable ,they unable open it. Shit ,what i should do ? I dun buy it or buy it? after i consider a while ,i decided buy it ..but i try to get a great discount from them.

The Chinese staff offer me RM2169 without free gifts , holy shit , i get the RM2150 from that malay staff..OKOK...they offer me RM2150 ...haiz ,i also tired about it ,spend a whole day at there...ok la ,rm2150 la ..deal it.

RM2150 , benQ-S42 Processor C2D , Geforce 9600 GT 256RAM , 2GB RAM , 320 HD space...you all think it worth ?( plus one broken laptop lock embed it... the broken lock will consume my effort and time to solve it in future...damn )

What i think ? i disappointed their services ,i ask some question to thunder match staffs although i knew the answer already ... but they simple answer me ,for example...

1. It is last one ,so offer you RM2199 ...( what i know ? it is year end promotion ,no it is last one )
2. Where the BenQ service center at KL ?( i help you check later..but him ignored me ,shit)
3. Can you give me more discount ? ( cannot la , i sell you RM2150 now ,only earn you RM1 ,,that distributor price is RM2149...you think i will believe you? when i bought Acer 4920 in the past ,it is RM2.5K...but actually acer industry sell them RM1.6K )
.
.
.

and other technician questions ...no 1 answer for me is satisfy.

Now ,i try to install WinXP on BenQ..haiz ,it DVD rom seem has a problem,,noisy...cant install now.I not sure is DVD rom or Disc problem...

I jz want suggest if you need to purchase a gaming laptop in budget 3k ,you can get S57 from Thunder Match ..It is price RM2999,it worth ..ATI 4650 , Cool processor 2.5Ghz,2gb RAM , 500gb HD space and Blur ray rom ,,wah.

and ..i ask that staff when you company will import new S42 laptop ? he said "next week .." ," har ? then how much it ? it is still RM2199? "

he said " Maybe ,from RM2199 to RM2499",but no sure the benQ still has store or not~ Why i get it today ? i cant wait to next week ,i need use laptop on next weekend ..it is urgent ...

it is worth. the spec is awesome .

go find some pro thief ... they can unlock the lock for you. XD
anyway what's the proccessor model? As far as I can see it's worth it for the spec.

9600 GT ? yummy!

even at that condition n the semi faulty dvd, at rm2150 its worth it


anyhoo, have u ever heard of "u get what u paid" ?

i satify tat spec with rm2150 ,,that good!
they may get new batch of S42,you all can try get it...

i jz worry how come they offer it rm2150 only...other shop sell it with rm2699...tat DvD rom is design nt enuff well,too thin..
but it is ok .

i wish my s42 can install os smoothly on tml ..

at leat you got a s42 for yourself. I cannot even go there to buy. -.-

i think because tat 1 is display model， is like bought a 2nd hand anyway， good luck for it outcome

there is few other shops still selling s42 but not in lyplaza anymore. pls check at digitalmall pj and hikari from lyn here. they stil sell the new 1[not display]

It's not worth it. It's a display model and it's got a damn lock stuck to it. 500 off the retail price hardly justifies it. Any dealer at LYN could have given you a better deal, maybe not the same model. There are people at LYN that sell brand new/cancelled order/display at nearly half price.

Hikari no more selling. T__T

"display set" is a big no for me.

last time when i bought my pc,this seller also trying to give me display set,but i refuse to buy from them

i went to another shop and order the new one,it's worth to wait 3 days

Is okay , at least TS got it at lower price? ^^
I remember 1 year ago , S42 worth rm3.5k ! Whoa. Now RM2.2k -.-

ya lor, i bought the second batch (LE-05) with the price of 3499
but with linux and 4GB Ram, now can get cheaper but with better cpu sumore
i,m already inquiry to benq helpdesk if they can upgrade cpu.. now just wait

Windows XP doesn't come with ACHI/SATA drivers. Set your BIOS HDD controller to compatibility mode or slip in the drivers using some program which I can't remember, google it.
