i haven buy yet, i believe i still got a few day left before that seller come back malaysia to sell me, so i still havr a few day left to search fot a better deal, just found out that, samsung uk has cash back for those buy samsung ssd

lol dun rush is a good advice, seagate also launched their new ssd range
even though they promised not to make ssd, cuz they say sshd is the way for now.

im waiting for spec sheet tear down
wonders what MLC chip they are using
and they have some interesting endurance to brag about with their 600pro listing.

now it begs the question on how 840pro vs vector 4 vs 600pro

now this is a much better route for seagate, buy OCZ and make ssd

their endurance

vs
http://www.seagate.com/internal-hard-drive...sd/600-pro-ssd/

the pro packs a heavier life than the 840pro...
100gb read every bits, and 520TB writes for the 200gb version.
idle at 1.05(w) and operates at 2.8(w)
figures seems promising, but now waiting price

600non pro
100gb read every bits, and 43.840TB writes for the 240gb version.
>78.912TB writes onwards and failure will show up.
idle at 1.1(w) and operates at 0.75(w)

shit, since when seagate made so many ssd launch in 1 go
pulsar used to be the only 1

u add new processor sure even hot
uk may sell things at a cheaper price u know
i never see anywhere in malaysia where u buy 1 laptop and get a netbook
here u buy a Nseries (17 inch) or a G series (15/17 inch) and u will get a free 8hr netbook
i was like WTF!!! now only see when i brought my lappie???
whats worse is pay extra RM 200-500 i get 8gb ram and blu-ray dvd combo
malaysia importers are ripping us off sometimes.

exactly haha, no wan drag politic here xD
but i guess buy from that seller is the only way for now...i dint see any promotion now, since i just miss it....
i found that there was offer at april... which i have totally miss it

wanna ask here, anyone upgrade to win8 ?

i juz upgrade mine to win8 but it get hot easily , since it using the nvidia GC all the time, anyone face the same prob ? any suggestion ?

w8 for nvidia (and Intel hd3000) to launch a proper driver then update the driver.

i realised that nvidia been making horrible drivers for gtx n gt lately esp for win 8
most still in beta cuz not 100% stable.
tested on 670gtx g53 2013 model (should be applicable to 550gt too)

i dun think i will upgrade to win8 without a touchscreen xD, unless i can upgrade my screen to touch screen then only i might try win8 haha. or i bought a win8 tablet which i can sync to another laptop haha. then i might try it.
waiting my new cpu and ssd. cpu ald at china warehouse xD. ssd still waiting for the seller to back malaysia >.<
so far the heat top at about 89degree. but i dun really like the result of it. still got improvement to make, i haven really clean the laptop haha, just repaste

bought the new cpu 3610qe, samsung 840 pro 256gb, ald arrive, but no time to try them out =.=
also bought the 6250 wifi pcie card

some crazy upgrades incoming

while u are at it better also mod ur wifi antenna wire to stick outside so can get better coverage

stock wifi card really suck, i received my caddy ardy, 2 hhd are sweet, just no ssd

stick outside? how ?

joking 1 lar. to do that u nid to drill ur screen case a hole and stick a wire close to exit.
not recomended.

cuz the wifi attena goes around ur screen frame but since itz enclosed, itz weaken a bit.

way around is put hole or add redirection out of case bottom.

none is recomended

icic, lolz, will update again on battery life and performance after upgrade

ok, now flashed to version 209 bios. going to upgrade the cpu and wifi card. now preparing win 7 usb xD for ssd hehe.

Lolz, now laptop camt open at all, dunno what's wrong. Nth shown at screen or anythings happen

now only see 4 led light on when i press start button. The num lock, cap lock, blue graphic led n start button. The on button which is at bottom akso lighted

yup it is important or spu will not be detected.
do not use win7 usb installer.. bad problems everytime i use.
burn on iso on dvd better

izzit after flash bios or after install win7?
or after processor?

win7 works now?
the lights are controlled by drivers.
only caps n num are based on keyboard.

running ubuntu white light will always be all on.

newbie in search of some quality asus laptop, preferably 12-13 inch, possibly with gaming in mind. Can any of the guru's here recommend where and what models to look out for?

Asus webpage sucks big time
