It seems that m101z cant be set with dual-core already... too bad...

Cool lappy, got red colour

But this lappy will overhear? Able to play some light games like Dota?

how is the battery life when boot in Ubuntu Lite?

ati mobility radeon 10.12 for HD4225 : http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/wind...ob_win7-64.aspx

This update is necessary to enable GPU acceleration at VLC player

has anyone tried that driver on this m101z?

last time i tried installing the lastest driver on my bro dell laptop, the drivers can't install properly and screw up the graphics controller.

so i'd rather not try updates from AMD directly unless someone is brave enough to do it before me..

I have a feeling M101z would refresh with the AMD Fusion APU's in 1-2 months..

im using m101 and this driver right now

vlc GPU acceleration work smoothly with BRip 720p

I have the same feeling too. Im jelly

i'll give it a try later.
where do i set it and how do i know it's use the hardware acceleration?
as it is, this laptop is pretty speedy already.

and it's inevitable technology will be phased out quickly.
it's not only with this laptop, it applies to all pc/laptop stuff.

here is the setting :


To test it? simple...run vlc with GPU acc with dell's initial driver (10.7) and u will get heavy artifact. With new driver (10.12) it run as smooth as butter at BRrip 720p on 1080p reso.


Yeah I know...but the massive 3 hours improved battery life shocked me, it might go longer with undervolt!
jelly jelly jelly

well, i tried. seems like no difference for my files.. haha..
i never encountered any heavy artifacts b4 except for 1 rmvb file.
but even after this GPU acceleration, it's still the same.

i guess if you can afford it, why not?

I not understand, how you guys managed to sqeeze more than 4 hour of battery life

mine still bested at 3:30 hr before seeing the 10% warning, undervolt to 0.7625V~0.875V, power saver mode (but with transparency windows enabled)

forgot to mention mine one is K345 dual core

depends on what you do..
if it's cpu or gpu intensive, then obviously the battery won't last that long.
if it's just surfing the net or simple, i think can last more than 4 hours.

Try BRrip 720p files

do you uninstall lagafee?
I remove as many as startup application as possible, and set the brightness to the lowest possible

any news saying new 11.6 incher coming this year from Dell??

remove lagafee ah.. I extended the license validity to 24 months, if uninstalled it then wasted the rm30+

did you guys disable transparency effect? or totally using windows classic style

no news yet.

Owh, I uninstall lagafee at the first moment i saw it

umm nope, i didn't.

i dun think lagafee is the main cause

oh ya i normally open 10+ tabs in FF

pikacu u use single core version?

im using dual core version,

i usually use chrome with 4-6 tabs


my battery already started to half-life-ing
