IINM, its a NO...because you start as one of the Big Daddy...well, BBX playing it now ..

Sorry josh, never try this before so cannot give any feedback

@astria
When going back to Oz?? ...well, about that face recognition, i guess it will work like the others rite

For sure the boot time will suffer and also i prefer using the normal method to login ...

haha, mine just simple password....easy one to remember and also, my finger automatically finds the key for the password...no more need to look at the keyboard to type, its just went auto ..

@BBX
Where is benchies ...i tot you want to do some or you already did

@josh
Well, mine also a combination of symbols/numeric/alphabetic...but easy to type one...simple but long and take me less than 5 seconds to type it

@BBX
How is BS2 gameplay?? Nice...still yet to find time to install the game, and just now my bro 'stole' my S42 again to bring out for outstation ...stuck with my HP now ..

slow because everyone is busy ..and astria not buying a new laptop ...

Well, seems like all the active members are hand-full with works/assignments so thread are moving slow ..

**me also got lots of stuff to do

Better you sell your K50Ab first and then topup a little to buy S42 (well, if you can find any )

words bro

@lee
How about S42?? Still got any??

He say HD4570 DDR2 is better than 9600M GT GDDR3...tell him go to LYN/Mobile Computing to learn more

@josh
Better get i5 instead of i3..better in performance ..

Better use this one, currently the latest driver (well modded one of course)...

Dox Modded 195.62 (with Nautis patch)

or the official one from BenQ website,

BenQ S42 drivers

Well, double_u said that 186.68 gives the best temp compared to 185.85..if 185.85 still can give you good temp, then just stick with it ...as for Nautis driver, 63C is consider normal

Well, there are no x64 drivers for S42 in BenQ website..you got to search for it ..

For WLAN -----> Intel 5300

For LAN -----> Marvell Yukon

For GPU/GC -----> Dox Modded 195.62 *please read thoroughly before installing ...and refer to double_u note for x64 installation ..

@assmonkey
2 hours on Intel, well that kinda low...i can get 4 hours on Intel with minimum brightness and wifi on, with some doc processing also ..maybe you can try discharged your battery & fully charged it again ...

About switching the GC, tried restart your laptop?? And you are using what driver??

Something to do with their mobo, well a lot of S57 owners face this problem before, just send over to Service Center and all will be done ....

@assmonkey
Under High Performance (as well as if you on nVidia card) it will show both...if you off the nVidia and only the Intel card is on then its only show Intel GPU

Normal office work then i3 is already enough...your dad a hardcore multitask man?? If yes, then maybe i5 would be better

@josh
Then consider i3 is good enough for your dad ...no need to pump more money, can save and buy other things also
