hello fellow n55 owner, i would like to ask, do you found any major problem with n55 until now?

i went to lowyat and the price is rm2699 with upgrade to 8gb ram, by mtcs group, comes with some gift but i think only the ram is important.


since the graphic card is a weaker version of gt555m, do you encounter any problem when gaming?

i see, if driver problem then should be able to solved, as long the hardware is reliable i suppose



apparently the brochure is not correct, most shops in lowyat sell at 2699 with 8 gb ram, and some free gift, but no very important. extra 4 gb is given by the shop itself, since official partner like mtcs also provide this offer so i think they might be having some promotion now or may be newer batch is gonna come with better specs?

n55 is quite a tempting machine there, although the gt555m is a weaker version...

i asked them the warranty is 2 years international, but can extend to 3 years add on 350 at service centre @ imbi plaza.

i really don't like the lid man, so glossy and easy to get fingerprint when touching! and the palm area is plastic and it gets hot on the display unit! and they are not even opening games or what, just on for display only.

do you guys experience problems with fingerprint and the heat? fingerprint i might consider putting some sort of cover, but the heat, if use for long time/gaming, wouldn't it be uncomfortable or harm the graphic card inside?

sometimes i open game 3-4 hours non-stop i scare i will fry the card if too hot oh

i see, i guess it is normal for plastic build then?

@ XeactorZ: if they can use the better gt555m it is perfect already lol.

but why do we need a software warranty?

we can just create a backup dvd and that is all.

i see, try to search later.

how do you put it? open up the upper casing and put urself? wouldn't it be like a insulation and trap the heat inside the chamber?

ooo 2550, i got offer at 2580 without upgrade ram and gifts. i guess small difference between the shops.

ermm what is the difference between old batch and new batch for the extra rm 100? mostly i saw in lowyat with price tag 2699.

if based on the oct nov brochure the spec is still the same as what those priced rm 2699 right? unless they are really changing the gt555m lol, then i str8 go buy no need think liao

shops like all it also have, some other shops at lowyat have as well, not hard to find. but i just thought of getting something transparent cover.

i notice ur warranty 2+2? extended?

i see, quite good edy, i am wondering now, if i extend the laptop warranty with asus to 3 year, by paying the rm 350, then get the 2 years local, so add up 5 years?

which shop was it that offer you the local warranty? did you pay them for the extra warranty?

i see, did you buy the new one or the old one? is there some difference between them that evernew told you? if all same i really go grab the old one before the price is up man.

for the ram i can use the 8 gb since i do some work with vm sometimes so i guess the value is there. and n55 8gb ram is max already isn't it? it doesn't have 4 slots for ram so no much to choose also...

the keyboard is fragile? aren't they the same type with those old lappy? the new ones use the chiclet type, but i have use the old type for quite a long time and it nvr spoil. do you experience some key detached or jam? or can't type even if pressed hard? it is quite a good machine there, but if the keyboard is not gonna last then it is a pity...


i am not sure if they listed down the ram serial number or not in your receipt, if yes, then they can verify that it is really a wrong one, otherwise hard ler, they dun know if the customer change the ram, so they won't risk to give you the 1333 one... and if you bought it in sarawak, can you send to the shop and ask them to send to ASUS if needed? otherwise you have to go to kl just to bring the laptop? quite troublesome man.

hehe i oso wish to know, if like this it is possible to get a 5 years warranty after the asus extended warranty, fuh, quite a nice package there!

n55f? not n55sf? why did they ban it?

i just felt that it is hotter, might be not so comfortable if using without aircon, not sure when heavy use. but as mentioned it should be ok.

recalibrate try?

it is just an estimate i think, not really accurate, anyway, not a big problem i think.

how do i change the digital vibrance in gt555m?

after update to 280.26 i can't find the digital vibrance setting in the desktop color adjustment, is there anything i can do?


do anyone use it?

@ cheese, at lowyat they just brought in new batch, may be not so fast eol, but not sure if after this batch finish. as previous batch it should be fixed already.

I need some help from N55 owner, i wanted to do a clean reformat of my n55, but i can't get to the delete partition part as Simon has mention in the first page. After i put in the dvd, it just went to the airecovery, although i have uninstall already, then it ask about the language everything, and continue by itself and install all softwares back, i can't choose what to install or not. it didn't even need me to install the driver all that, and all the trendmicro and other bloatwares just came back.

How can i do a clean one to throw everything and choose what i want? Or just can uninstall afterwards? cuz the boot time is quite slow, around 45-50s, compared to simon's 28s. even the wei is just 4.6 or 4.8 i think after uninstall those bloatware and clean the registry.

is there any thing i should pay extra attention?

i see, thanks, i will go and try it out, i have tried to get the driver and and inf as well and it works fine

but still can not find the digital vibrance lol, now i use the intel colour saturation instead.
