haha.. of cos hoping to trade plus topup.. currently dont have cash on hand. haiz.. and besides.. cant find any cheap thundermatch price liao loh..

@batusai: i think both laptops would be getting similar results...why u wanna change? weight? battery life?

BBX: X4 will only be available in store starting from March, even Amazon also... currently they are still accepting pre-orders only...

i hope to find one in Australia as well... looks good with my X5...

now if only i can get a monitor as well, that would be perfect...

Added on February 26, 2010, 4:36 ambtw, seems that GTX 480 is available for pre-order... US$700...

however, the card seems to be plagued by heat issues again... rumoured that it's idle temp is 70C with fan @ 70%... and performance as well... either GTX 480 or GTX 470 are a mere 5% better than HD5870...

Good Morning. Sorry, same again I am still noob in processor category.

What is the lineup for the following processor?

1. T series
2. I3 series
3. I5 series
4. I7 series

USD$700 ?
Go for ATi better.

i7 > i5 > i3, in terms of performance-per-watt... note that the ULVs fall under i7 as well...

T series depends on wat family... since T merely means 35W TDP and nothing else...

Only the one ended with LM or UM is ULV

what about T4500 or T6600? They have the same TDP, 35W...

Any idea what's the LM and UM stands for?

L = Low voltage
U = Ultra-low voltage
M = Mobile
Q = Quad

Am asking all these questions coz my dad want to get a laptop. Am looking for him Inspiron 15, and came across I3 and I5.

Thanks everyone

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

hi guys ! long time didn't visit this thread.. what is the best graphic drive for S42 ah ? i tried use the 185.85. but blank screen to my Win7 32bit...

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

i tried the 195.62 one with the patch.. succeed installed but still giv me blank screen..

now using nautis 190.38. giv me about 63'c

185.85 is the best for me.. manage to get about 59'c

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

hey guys i just install windows seven 64 bit on my ben q s42..unfortunately i cant install the wlan,lan,and graphic card driver that i get from the manufacture benq cd.

i try to find the driver ..but it so hard.can sifus outhere give me link to download a driver that compatible for win 7 64 bit?

@coolherzero, get the original installer here

http://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/topic/260...orceware-19562/

download the version 1.1 (at bottom of post, choose 64 bit lur)
then apply the patch (you have to use update 5 since ur on 64 bit)
for 32 bit follow the instrution for update 4.

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 ..

Hey can i just check, for those running win 7 on S42, whats your batt life under power saver mode?
cause im only getting 2hrs tops atm

running dox's latest drivers on x64
