Yup, also prefer manual switching (like my BenQ S42) ..when ever want to save battery a lot (4 hour ++ max), use GMA...when want to game switch back to 9600M GT

i hope i can buy a gud lappy with 3k budget

Well, for the range of RM3k :

Asus A42Jv, i5 450M + GT335M @RM2999
Dell SXPS 16, P8700 + HD4670 @RM2999
Dell Vostro 3700, i5 430M + GT330M @RM2849
Acer 5741G, i5 520M + Nvidia GT320M@2999

still new lorh.. better view it at ASUS official website.. can see full spec..

review

need translation one..can't understand

There's google translate....

From the review, the battery only last bout 4hrs. Can anyone manage to squeeze out more?

Plan to either get this or slimmer/lighter U33Jc Bamboo with 11+hours battery but sadly only G310M....

depend on ur need toughnut but for me..i think a42jv best value for money lalala

u can nvr expect a42jv to get more than 4 hours ler, even to get 4 hours also very hard..

if u nid longer battery life, better settle it for u series eventho only 310m for the gpu..

guys neeed some help with my 42jk.. i played COD MW 2 with no settings at all and finished with no problems but when i wanted to replay it again, it will always hang and gives me a black screen and long screeching sound.. the only diff is that the diificullty of the game.. i never measured the heat as i never had any issues of the heat.. can anyone please help... I have had this problem before but not when playing games only when normal browsing and normal use.. help please...

Impossible playing with no setting at all ...must be with DEFAULT setting, no

Try re-installing the GC driver?? ...sound like a driver problem to me

hehheehe.. yup default setting... it was ok for a while and suddenly it came back.. will try to reinstall..

or else try restore back when this not yet happen
some time is because of some hardware or software probelm

still the same after trying as mentioned... ... dont know what to do????
