Wow. Dell have sell 12 cells batteries for it? How much does it costs to purchase the battery from Dell?

seems worth it to buy it. Users cannot extend the warranty for the batteries and adapter, right?

How was that? What was the processor temperature when left idle?

I see. Your laptop is running with i7 processor?

It is normal to see Acer offer cheap price for good specification. I only hope that their warranty services can improve.

Try to look out for the "dual channel" word or find out how many pcs of RAM is installed using the RAMMon.

Note: I have not test it because the returnil keep on blocking it as i installed it during the virtual mode is on.

My only issue with Acer is the quality and after sales service. Asus should be ok in terms of after sales service, but i am not sure about this.

I heard that Dell laptop purchased here's warranty is valid in Australia.

If the person is going there for studies?

Indeed, but i am considering about sending to Asus Royal Club rather than highpoint.

@lee_what2004

where have you been? It's been a while.

Do you know any benchmarking software that can be used to measure the Atom processor temperature? Thanks.

Ok. Gonna try out later. Thanks.

I see. Good news then. Dell CompleteCover only does not cover the natural disaster right?

Does it cover failure from overclocking?

Asus proves to me that its hardware is the best among all. The only issue i have with Asus are their drivers, especially with their utilities.

How long a laptop can survive? It is dependent much on the owner as well.

Is n43jq is Asus?

For me,

Dell is famous for their on site warranty services.

Asus is famous for their hardware quality.

Indeed. I am talking about brand right now. Which models you are going to buy, please do more homework on the model suggestion.

Asus, i am not sure what happen to their drivers since i am only a computing guy rather than a programming guy.

1st incident with Asus driver is when i recommending my friend buying Asus, their webcam display is 180 degrees upside down. Later, the techies in the shop said it is due to the outdated driver.

2nd This time it is my sister desktop. The desktop is powered by Asus motherboard. So, i went and test the software that could be used to benchmark the processor temperature. Guess what? The software suddenly show my processor temperature is 255 degrees in 1 second and their alarm is very noisy. I immediately shut down and disassembled the processor part, which is cooler than my hand.

3. I finally able to get my hands on Asus product last month. A 2nd hand Asus T91MT convertible netbook. When COD, everything is fine especially with the hardware. After 2 days of using, the touchscreen suddenly "malfunctioned" despite several time of restarting the netbook. After that, I do recovery to the netbook and everything becomes normal back. After 2 weeks of using it, this time there is a wireless driver problem or bug. It cannot be turned off immediately. The turning off can only take effect upon restarting. Fortunately, it can be on if it is switched off when booting up.

Acer laptop, I am not very sure about their quality for the new series. But i prefer not to choose Asus over Acer. I am using an Acer laptop as well. I guess I am lucky to have it be able to stay with me without major defect after 4 years.

Good for you. You are a good owner as well.

I see. My advice is: Observe the Sandy bridge performance first.

Be patient la.
