yeah,ill be reformatting tmrw,but just simply do the backup


I must say,I LOVE THE KEYBOARD

I see ppl saying its the worst part of this laptop,but I dont see why LOL.Most probably because this is my first laptop XD

Gratz on your first laptop

Something like a buzz sound when you do something when you are idle everything is OK.
I have updated the audio driver and the problem is solved and also I have Asus SonicMaster but I am not sure it was bundled with the new driver or it was installed with the last one.

Who was it that had problems with computer when they tried removing bloatwares manually???

I found this today: http://pcdecrapifier.com/home There's a list of things it removes, I see some familiar names.

Anyone has any opinions on it? I don't dare do clean format because I'm not too good with those kind of things. I plan to remove a majority of the bloatwares, not all of them. (I intend to keep things that are specific for the laptop i.e. MusicOn)

I heard removing some specific bloatwares can cause computer problems.

removing the bloatwares can be a risky things.some software/drivers wont work properly after u removed some of the bloatwares.
I do it before and focked up so decided to clean format lol

Yeah I had a feeling it was you. Do you remember which bloatwares that you removed were responsible for such problems???

No idea.i removed all that Oberon games and things goes haywire lol

Oh so you only removed the games and the problems already come up???

a lot of ppl had all sort of weird problems when they remove oberon games.So if u wanna remove softwares,just remove the other bloatwares except oberon,And uninstall web storage bcoz some ppl got problem with that.

yes

Phew....and here I was thinking to remove the games FIRST because I assumed it would be safe....

If total amount of bloatware is under 2GB then I think I'll leave it alone, but if almost 5GB like Simon...ahh that's another story.

better clean format.activate ur win7 using the ori key.
just dun delete the recovery partition

Yeah...the thing is this is my first laptop ever and WILL be the first time I do anything like this (formatting) if I do decide to do it.

I've been following the thread and there's always ppl saying "missing this and missing that" after following Simon's instructions LOL!

Is it really quite straightforward to follow and I won't be prompted with any unwanted surprises along the way?

I should be getting my machine either today or tomorrow and then I'll see how "bloated" it is.

straightforward if u know how.
insert the win7 disc.
format the c partition using the tools.
slect the c partition to install win7 into.

Reformatting is damn easy. Just watch a few tutorial videos on YouTube and you'll have no fear

need to watch tutorial meh....i just read few sentence on the manual book then im done

Just format it... after all, worst case scenario just send back to technician...

What went wrong?

Wow...what happened man?

asus's deadline is near. Hopefully they can really come up with something good. BTW, anyone has luck in getting caddy/crucial m4 ssd?
