Remember to post unboxing pictures ...and do some review from your POV

added my user review on 2nd post. still in process.

Did you buy a backpack or sleeve bag for it...
What brand and how much izit???

to kucingfight: Nice review from you, althought myself didnt do the testing phase. But i prefer to study from the 'pro'

about the keyboard, yeah its feel normal at least not the best feeling when we use touch it and use it. and about the audio, i think its really quite nice after using for awhile now. no problem so far and i personally feel that it can produce much higher volumn than 14.1 inch. and the last time we can view 720hd without any problem love the display so much

What is POV?
I got my laptop and some picture of the unpackaging. Figure that i don't need to post much since there's alot of others already post. Mine is red
I'll post it when i got the time. Gonna give it to my friend so that i can upgrade it to window 7 ultimate

hiaz....

Point of View

Guys, I'm planning to get another few units of laptops.

If you were me, would you choose the Aspire 5745G or Dell Vostro?

Assuming that the Vostro configuration is this:

*PROCESSOR Intel® Core™ i5 430M (2.26GHz base, up to 2.53GHz, 2C/4T, 3MB L3)
OPERATING SYSTEM Genuine Windows® 7 Professional 64bit (English)
SECURITY SOFTWARE TREND MICRO™ INTERNET SECURITY (English)-24 months
DISPLAY 17.3” High Definition+ (1600x900) Wide LED Anti-Glare Display
MEMORY 4GB (2X2G) DDR3-1066MHz SDRAM, 2 DIMM
HARD DRIVE 320GB Hard Drive, 7200 RPM
VIDEO CARD Vostro 3700 Nvidia® Geforce™ GT 330M, 1GB Graphics

For the total of RM 3,175.00

Aspire 5745G has
i7 720QM
4GB DDR3
500GB HDD
15.6" HD LED
GT330M
HomePrem x64

Cost: RM 3,680

I already bought two units of Aspire 5745G, I find it satisfying but maybe Dell have better quality perhaps? =)

my only advise is very simple..whats ur purpose of a laptop? if u don mind 17.3", do giv a try. 17" is definitely less portable

Multimedia design and gaming...

Also some workstation productivity (autocad... etc)

in tat case, i would assume that portability is not the priority.
since u've mentioned the purpose, i think the dell would be suitable.

how much is d diff between i7 n i5 lol

architecture wise..they are the same. i7= 4cores (n higher turbo boost speed) . i5= 2cores

I wonder whether this is my own problem or not, but this few days i noticed quite a lot of colourful dots on the screen there. Anyone noticed that yet? i updates the nvidia drivers to the latest and i noticed even more colourful dots on the screen lol. Any solution? I formatted the original OS (win 7 basic) to win 7 pro the day i received this laptop...

mm mine's working perfectly well..period. no such issues. stressed the whole system for the past 2days..stood up well

mine seems to be fine too..except for the high pitch sound that comes once in awhile, complain it to dell online chat, attended by international support, want to change mine to a new one, i say wait first, because ,its not that obvious,follow -up with me 3 days consistently by phone call...good support...

kucing fight
what is the maximum temperature that you get after stressing the system?

yes..mine too has some high pitch noise. i assume it's normal from the harddisk, as my previous asus has tat sort of sound too

stressed the OCed VGA using Folding@home, temp around 72-74C. GPU temp

Crap..I ordered a Studio 15..

If I found out about this model earlier I would have bought it lol..

you can still cancel it and order dell vostro. I didn't notice any liability like high-pitch noise and stuff mine is perfectly working. Gonna format it and upgrade to Window 7 Ultimate tomorrow.

yea jz notice that sound when its at night, and my ear on the keyboard lol, else i cant notice it at all lol ... i think its normal for 7200RPM hdd?

Any idea how can I cancel it?

I've bought it last week..payment confirmed last Wednesday. Will they provide me with full refund?
