Asus is known for their magnificent cooling system ...haha ^^...yours also a heat generator same like S42 ...

aha, but the GPU can also reach >90C for serious gaming/folding...

R45, comes with 8400M GS...no wonder ...well, got to say that R45 is one of BenQ laptop with quite poor cooling system, i tested one before and its really is hot ...but rest assure as BenQ S42 is far more cooler than R45, and it won't produce heat much...what do you expect from a 14" with quite a heat-burner GC ...

hi all.

I am looking for a new laptop.
Budget below 3k.For a bit of gaming (FIFA2010 and some new games).
Can recommend any?

u'll have quicker ans over here: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1310706

i heard that if play hardcore games on a laptop it will get heat up very fast. Izzit true?

That would depends back to the notebook design and its system cooling.
But generally yes, since it need to cramp those heat-generator in such small places.
Its not like desktop where you have much more space for better airflow.

Well, this is simple....you are now playing game (exp : Crysis), before game starts the temp for both CPU/GPU is 42C/58C....and on with the game, temp while running the game for sure will go up like CPU/GPU is 64C/75C...

Yes, the more demanding the game, the more stress it put onto the CPU/GPU which will cause it to heat-up pretty easily

can anyone tell me about the s42 temp ??

What do you want to know about S42 temp ..maybe i can help you...

This is the same guy who earlier posted:

If you're going to game, get a desktop. Or better, get a cheap desktop. Notebooks can heat up all too easily, and is good for people who use for outdoor work and only game occasionally, or don't play online games where it can stretch for hours.

by no way i mean offense, but i guess you need to read thoroughly for the particular forum..
on the next page of your particular quote, they have found out about modded driver, namely DOX and Nautis for benq s42
http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread...t=281228&page=4
one thing is, S42 Always have problem of heat when using the original driver, under vista
note that they also mentioned their GPU switching time is ard 5-15 sec, running vista,
while mine only need 3-5 sec switching either card in Win 7.
like Monza said, pls head to BenQ thread for further details,
and the details is at the very 1st page of the thread.
