Woah... Congrats bro!

Any short review?  brows.gif
*
you do short review lah...you bought first so you use your notebook already more than i did...

anyway...so far so good...haven't installed all my apps yet... still got a few...

over all...i love it! light and powerfull

boot up is not that slow even if its just using an HDD...i also utilized the biometrics so i only use my finger print to log-in...screen is great...no complains what so ever...still slowly getting my files transferred from my other notebook... battery life is soo..soo... maybe changing to an SSD would significantly increase total battery life...for now i've limited my charging to 80%...could last for like 3hrs+ i guess... i'm using a bluetooth mouse (razer orochi) as well so i'm using some power out of it... great product so far... smile.gif




btw, anyone got any extra license of office 2010?

Just migrated my HDD to SSD using Paragon (took about 30-45 minutes).

Did a benchmark.

Like everyone else, I also got SATA2 speed. Damn Sony(Somehow they disable the SATA3 speed)!

It is a BIOS MOD.

Need to flash your BIOS.

Quite risky if you don't know what you are doing though.

@vaio2kh congrats on your purchase!

the only thing that i guess i dont really like is that all the connections are on the right side and that when i connect stuff it gets in the way of my mouse...haha! guess i have to use the mouse a bit farther..

Hey bro amal,

Can email me how to do the mod? I think I can use a bit of boost for my 3d applicatio for faster regens. If u could email me the 950mhz mod and some instructions. I'm assuming no other software needed aside from the bios..

rhoel@synoedge.com


Thanks!

overpriced? nah...i dont think so...with its specs and form factor and i guess the only one in its class... i dont think it has any competitor... dell xps 14 is much more heavier...macbook pro 13 has no odd and dedicated vcard...

As per attachment.
[attachmentid=2960387]

That settings is optimal for Stock GT640M LE.

After BIOS MOD, now I can run at 1600x900 with everything set to the max.
