Hi, I am a new A42Jv user, I was wondering how can I make use of the Nvidia Optimus technology to maximum my battery life??? So far the best I can get under battery saving mode is only 3hours+, is this normal?? I thought it could last longer..

Hmm... So the nvidia optimus stuffs is just bullshit then lol.. I was expecting it could last at least 4hours that would be good ><

Wah u sure is A42jv? this unit suppose to be low on stock n I saw a lot of shop list price for 3099 nowadays.. If it's 2799, it's already a bargain even if u dun bargain for it..

Actually not all places price drop ar... A lot of places still listing price for 3099... I think it's just few of the shops having price cut only...

Can anyone tell me where to get headphone/mic combo which support the laptop? I tried using the iphone's earphone/mic but doesn't work at all

I hate those kind of sellers.. Basically they just wanna sell off the unpopular models... Like if you wanna buy A42Jv, they will tend to guide to buy other models instead because Jv is the hot cake whilst others are not and will start telling you bullshits..

well what kind of games you wanna play though? I think 310M can still do some gaming with medium settings

is it just me or A42Jv have a really slow boot time considering it as a new laptop? I take like 1 minute to boot up into windows from power button ><.. I've tried uninstalling most of the useless bloatwares but it doesnt make any difference

It's quite soft compared to the likes of Dell/Compaq... Among Asus laptops, I think it's just normal... Set the equaliser to 'Rock' then it would be louder lol

I've been wondering why is the Windows Experience Index for Windows Aero is so low for A42Jv... I went to check out some sony laptops with much suckier GPU at Best Denki KLCC just now and they score much higher than my A42jV... Any ideas anyone? is it becoz of the slower HDD?

Yea, I wonder why we must either on/off both together... My previous Asus lappy could choose either one or both

So i restarted... but after restarting it's not working also, then suddenly keyboard not working... I panicked and turn off the power restarted in safe mode, then it worked again... Scary.. Anyone know what might have caused this?

Wow.. U just said that half an hour ago and you've done it lol.. Do u work in LYP or smth? Anyways, I haven't even take off the piece of transparent plastic since I bought 3 weeks ago becoz there's a lot of dust in my place.. Any solutions?

OMG... The new price for A42Jv is Rm2699 now >< dropped rm100 again..... Saw the newest list price by C-zone in their website today.... Just 3 weeks the laptop dropped rm300.... Arghhhhh

Asus microphones are always not good.. Both asus laptops I used before doesn't work that good with skype >< lots of noise

3 and half hours on battery saving mode and normal web browsing

Yes.. For that price, dun think you can get any better laptop than this one.. I got mine at 2999 3weeks ago..

1 question, the recovery dvd's that we made, would it install those bloatwares as well or it's a clean installation of windows?

So how do we actually do a clean installation then? Is it possible to use a copy version of windows7 64bit to install to the laptop then activate using the product key beneath?

anyone able to download the newest nvidia driver for 64bit windows? it seems that the link has disappeared from the website... And I downloaded the 32bit one wrongly ><

Yea standard price la nowadays.. Cause price just dropped again few days ago.. Argh.. Better not drop again or I am gonna regret buying it early
