I've met the backpack guy today and finally got a backpack that fits the vostro lol. I bought the Deuter Gigant laptop backpack, in terms quality i own a LoweAlpine 70L backpack.. I find Deuter's quality 1 grade lower but compare with other decent backpack it is ok. Deuter Gigant comes with 32x40 cm laptop compartment dimension which sounds like it just fit nicely with no room to spare but surprisingly there's a lot of room to spare, there is 1 inch between the laptop and zipper so it wont scratch the laptop. You even fit in with sleeve for extra protection. The backpack is a 32L so is quite a big one. For me the backpack its ok.. it feels good, well built and big compartments. Other than that prolly the price, abit too pricey for some people.

*Note* He has another brand Everki. The only Everki backpack will fit nicely prolly the Everki Beacon. It has 18.1' laptop compartment or something and quite reasonable price. Quality hmm Deuter abit more solid but thats for me. Better go visit him and check it out yourself ;p.. Here's the website :-

wow another month to wait.. thats quite long by the time prolly got better spec lappy come out d lor.. or prolly better promo.. so far not many 17.3 lappy are just under 3k.. think think think

the 17" lappy need abit extra care on it.. like even u have backpack u prolly need another sleeve for extra protection.. benq has a sleeve could fit this.. u guys can check it out.. i was thinking to get transparent skin on the lappy.. but i just like the feel on it now was worried i'd miss the feel ><..

this weekend gonna go get Zalman nc2000 cooler heuheue

wow nice results.. great that someone actually test the gt330 how far can it go.. GO kucingfight!

I've tried to bargain with SA.. but they dont really entertain me, but prolly depends on which sales person u talking to.. i tried to get a free bag but failed but they gave me RM150 rebate voucher coz i ordered 1 day b4 the promotion, so she said im entitled. Not sure about other items, reduce price i highly doubt it.

i brought my laptop to starbucks.. took it out and it catches alot of attention lawls.. gf told she heard someone said wah so big.. hahaha.. and also i compare with a friend's 17 inch laptop older ones.. vostro is much slimmer and lighter.. now i need a really good portable usb speaker and blast it in starbucks.. talk about showing off lol

oh ya 1 more thing.. there no room to put my drinks after this lappy on starbucks coffee table.. lawls

ya lo then u should lo..

im doing simple photo editing, a little gaming, online work and watch movies etc.. bigger screen is just good for me.. gaming is ok i played aion with high setting and it runs well..

another addition the Zalman NC-2000 works like a charm..

I wonder if games like battlefield, borderlands and mass effect etc.. fast pace fps games would do good on this? hmmmm.. gotta buy the game

one thing i've notice about the disabling battery charging,

FN+F2 key it does disable battery charging, coz i have untick the battery charging in the settings.. its now ticked when i press FN+F2

The icon with only the AC adapter should be DISABLE and the icon with tiny AC adapther with battery charging should be ENABLE, hope it helps

I don't think there retail outlets here, you could try getting it from YL camera online store, the price will be abit more exp than the pre-order from forum.. if you dont mind waiting, go pre-order from a forumer.. pretty good price

Mine a week + silver color.. red color prolly abit longer
