Hey Acid Rulz,
Before I start. I like that picture of GG you have there =p
So I'm thinking of getting this laptop for mostly gaming and multimedia stuff.
My main question is, does the Beats headphones comes with the laptop? From what I have read, I need to pay extra for the headphones and stretching my budget to 3.5k is very painful.
Also, since you're an owner of it now. Will you honestly recommend this laptop to a somewhat serious gamer. I'm considering games like BF3 and MW3 so yeah have to check on details la.
I sincerely do hope you reply back as soon as possible =)

QUOTE(Acid_RuleZz @ Jul 15 2011, 01:13 AM) Yes, u need RM3.5k for complete bundle with Beats Solo headset. I'm not sure how this game will behave with BF3 since there is no demo yet has been release. You should opt for lappy with GTX560 if u're worry.  I think you need to spam F2 when u powerup the laptop. If cannot mean u spam too slow.  Wahhh GTX560 is overkill for me la! Right now quite torn between this & the acer 5755. I see only difference is either I go AMD or Geforce. Quite frankly I like HP laptops because of their services but I won't be around much to use it seeing I go back overseas. Acer is a new ballpark for me la, yet the cheaper option. But thank you for your quick reply. I probably post a tread comparing it =)

Okay, hmmmm.
Can you all just hit on me Acer vs HP which are the pros and cons. My friends seems to be hitting on HP for having overheating issues and sly warranties and also money sucking but that beside the point.
Definitely appreciate if you can help me with the questions. Like I said before, I'm quite the heavy gamer so I need one that doesn't overheat.
And Faridz, I might take up that deal if I can see the light in HP =)

QUOTE(powerpack240v @ Jul 17 2011, 07:36 PM) Overheating will always be a problem in such a thin and powerful laptop. The only laptops which don't have heat issues are netbooks and Alienwares. Both of which I have.... The temperatures of the DV6 CPU is around 90C, the GPU around 80C, the other stuff like RAM can reach 80C....all of these is under gaming for long periods. IMO, HP has way better build quality than any Acer. Another question, the motherboard are rumored to also melt so its that part of a design flaw?

QUOTE(Acid_RuleZz @ Jul 17 2011, 11:00 PM) I think you should bring your baby to HP Service Centre and ask them to reapply thermal paste for you. 96c is way too high for this lappy. Question, how do you check if temp is above average and what should be the normal one?

QUOTE(Acid_RuleZz @ Jul 19 2011, 05:50 PM) Nope. Not really, if you're just doing light stuff and the cpu temps didn't exceed 70c there no harm keeping the battery plugged in. Back in V1 thread, few guys bought the Care Pack for RM79 from online website. Normal price is RM199, previously marcus selling for RM129 i think.. i'm not sure how much he selling one right now. I got mine from Hikari85 for RM149. If you tend to keep it out for a long period, better to discharge it around 30%-50% first. Mine can reach 3.5 hours. Okay, what's all this issue about batt? Not sure if applicable, but my gateway batt has still lasted over 3 hours for the last 2 years with constant charging and what not. Is HP that much of issue?

Bro, of course I'm doing research. Isn't that why I'm active in this trend? I'm making damn sure that I do a lot of research into it before purchasing it. My question is what is this switchable thing you speak of? Is it like power saver mode and high performance mode on laptops?

QUOTE(chahupping @ Jul 20 2011, 06:41 PM) OH thx alot. that save me alot time finding solution. any idea what causes that problem?? I don't have bro. It feels like the issue is that file becomes unreadable only to WMP. When I notice the slow process speed, I straight change to VLC and it normally runs while WMP sorts itself out
