you mean hard to get it from stores?

My hard disk is silence while at boot screen. A42JV will paused at the boot screen while it tries to detect/initialize the CD (if loaded) & external drive (if connected). It may also true while it try to initialize the hard disk. I don't think it is motherboard or BIOS problem because, usually, if it is, you should already see error messages on the screen.

*boot screen = Asus splash screen

5400RPM,1066MHZ

just wonder if anyone of you tried to take out the stickers on the notebooks. i think they look ugly and thinking of taking them off. but i am worried of stains.

cant they just make a plain looking (i mean not with those stupid boasting "Green" monitor") PC like macbook? theres no way i wanna shout my specs out.

less sticker, higher cost...

hi guys... jz bought a A42JC with Nvidia Geforce 310M.... but somehow, i think my laptop is not running on nvidia, it is all the while running on Intel HD Graphics card (integrated)...

i hav tried to use CPU-Z and under Graphics, i cant even select at the Display Device Selection...

Is this the usual case???

why does less sticker higher cost...? should it lower the cost since the company will not have to order any sticker bla3...?
