No la, this one the warranty is very important if I want to opt for a refund/exchange or sue Toshiba lol... still no chance to do that since I need to wait for my next lappy
And since I don't (can't) game at all on the M500 because of the GPU incompatibility, I dun really need to change the thermal paste...
More interested in changing for the M14x.. I think there'll definitely be personal writings on how to do that I think since I heard that Dell offers crappy thermal pastes, might as well use our own?

Where to find bro? Is it in "PC setup/repairs?"
Din't find any manuals there, or is it because its too new

Bookmarked the page, thank you very much sifu
Will read it when I have the time

LYN or LYP?
Try all IT Hypermart... I managed to bargain and got 1 for RM60

Dear sifus, I was wondering whether the addition of an extra 3rd fan for the U3 (compared to the U2) would decrease the average fan speed for each fan?
Or will the fan speed remain the same as that of the U2, only that it drains more energy from the laptop?

Thanks thanks

Thanks for the reply bro
I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to electricities haha
Your explanation seemed logical, its too bad they never mentioned the maximum average fan speed for the U2 and U3
Was thinking whether to get a U3 or another U2 for the M14x

Haha, its not mine in the 1st place... borrowed from gf for almost half a year
Maybe will give my current U2 for her lo
She likes the M500

Not effective on the HP Dv6?

Haha, she is~
Thanks thanks

Added on May 2, 2011, 9:31 pmYeah.... I initially wanted the Asus N43Sn, then it never came to Malaysia (my friend who bought on the 1st week of April still haven't got his yet in Singapore) LOL
Then came the M14x.... But I still haven't purchase yet since I'm loyal customer to Mr. Docter

Well, she said that the palm rest of the M500 gets quite hot (I disagree though) when she uses it compared to her old 4 years old 15.4" Dell Inspiron 6400... so she used back that laptop lo.. it may be physically damaged, but still running well
Old Inspirons, really reliable

Added on May 2, 2011, 9:32 pmYea, I think I should get a U3 as well.... the U2 fits ngam ngam for the 14" M500.... so it'll probably be too small or the M14x

Haha, thanks thanks.... I also feel pai sei to borrow it for so long

Yea lo, that's the thing, if only Dell updated the customizable nameplates 1 day earlier, I would have already got my M14x
Well, I'm sure the Doc will find a way, I'll wait for a while longer~
If not then really no choice lo
I dunno who else is selling now haha

viper88 perhaps, he gives RM420 discount for purchases more than RM5k... something is better than nothing...

Well, the 1st gen i7 don't have integrated GPU... so the battery life is going to be very short... and the Arrandale i7 ain't exactly good for gaming compared to the SB ones...
The extra money for the huge performance leap would be worth it
Just my 2 cents~

Its sad that the M18x is not coming to Malaysia
The M17x R3 would be the most powerful Alienware laptop here then
Will let you know if Doc is back into business or if I can find any other sellers

Yeap, I would say its the best for its price, but of course effectiveness may vary from laptop to laptop
Still, its not without its cons:
- Exposed fans, though easy to clean, it gets dirtier much easier.... and based on my experiences, hair stands tend to get stuck into the rotor, and kill the fan
- Depending on laptops, some can't really sit properly on the protruding cushions on the cooler pad
- The fans cannot be placed at the front of the cooler pad because by doing that will cause the cooler pad to not being able to stand properly
- Only 1 USB extender and no fan speed control, though these are acceptable since we don't really use them

^ True true~
Plan to get a U3 later on

Yes yes, a review would be most appreciated!
Quite a lot of ppl are curious to know the results of this comparison

+1~
Dear CM Notepal U3 users, mind sharing where you got your cooler pad, and how much does it costs?
Any reliable Garage Sales contacts? thanks~

Eh, single fan so cheap only? Not CM fan isit?
Hmmm, RM89 seemed quite decent, iirc, one can get a U3 from Garage Sales@RM85

Huh>?
The RM9.90/RM19.90 individual fans are both from Cooler Master?
So you have 4 fans for your U3 now?

U2 comes with 2 fans. You can purchase additional individual ones separately from stores
