V3 already, and I am 33 pages behind. Err I'll try to catch up another time, but can anyone please give me the measurements to the size of (N55):

- the keyboard by itself
- the keyboard + grill

Looking to buy a silicon cover so have to make sure to get right size.

Hey is anyone aware that....

N55SF is now available with i7 2670QM processor!!!

ASUS updated their website:

http://www.asus.com/Notebooks/Multimedia_E...#specifications

Anyone familiar with this processor??? Might get this one if it's better than 2630QM.

Is it worth paying an extra MYR$157.71 ???

Not in USD, in RM.

It is 200 MHz faster than i7-2630QM chip, is that of any significant difference?

Can anyone tell me how much Western Digital Portable External HDD 1TB cost in MY? (i.e. those that doesn't require AC power)

Oh SHI*!

/backs away

Could someone provide me with a quick measurement of the size of N55SF keyboard in centimetres? (L x W)

Please...pwease!

P.S. Just the keys, not including touchpad.

Thank you!

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Wow...what happened man?

Wait didn't you already get N55?

Can you explain what Jack Sparrow is in regards to Windows??? Is it some sort of ref to p*rated software???

Hey guys, I finally got my N55SF today!!! Wahoo, currently backing up onto DVDs. Just so you guys know, my N55SF is probably the "most beastly" N55SF amongst the owners on this forum so far. ^^ Quick specs:

i7 2670QM 2.2Ghz (I think this only came out earlier this month?)
8GB RAM
Full HD Resolution (yes I checked that its 1920x1080, I think the first of anyone here. Note: Estonian guy turned out to be HD only.)
750HDD
4x Blu-Ray

And I think everything else is the same.

Originally ordered one with i7 2630QM, but then supplier said they were no longer going to supply that, hence I got a FREE upgrade to this i7 2670QM. My laptop came in a sealed boxed. Checked the programs list. I have 60 installed programs at 2.88GB (not as bad as Simon), but there are NO GAMES which I am quite happy about. I don't think I will do a clean format at this point.

I did not receive the laptop bag or mouse with this, which was surprising, but that means my other mouse purchase was not a waste. ^^

Mmm what else should I be checking here...?

Lol, no actually the i7 2630QM I ordered before was supposed to be FHD as well. But that never showed up so yeah...I had a pre-order since "Official N45/N55 Club V1" so it has been a LONG wait for me.

NOT Malaysian model. I'm from New Zealand

Right now, my conclusion is that ASUS release different models to different countries....

Just so you know, the wait is extremely painful. I was up at 5:00 am today (the day it was suppose to arrive) checking the progress of delivery on courier website. Eventually status changed to "delivered" at 11:13 am.

Question: Should I or should I have not checked that box "fully verify data..." when doing backup? Because I did. How long is it going to take? So far 38 mins and only 51% DVD-1 Did anyone else check the box?
