Hey, n55sf seems to be a tad more stable compared to dv6, better cooling, i would say. but the big ass Asus logo, and the huge b & o speakers are a bit annoying. Looks rather cheap compared to dv6. Plus, no numpad.

dv6 can get from mobility square sdn bhd (lowyat 4th floor i think) for rm2799 with free 3 years warranty, 8gigs ram, and all the extra freebies like mouse, headset (not beats, of course), notebook cooler, etc.

1 thing to note is, i had to deal twice this month with HP service center (HP towers damansara) due to problems with both my dv6s (1 fan noise, another one graphics card burnt), but in both cases, warranty service was superb, got it back the day after i sent it in (not to mention free parking at hp towers). So, kudos to HP service center (i wont say the same for hp support though, but u get awesome hp support from this lowyat thread already, so, oh well).
*
btw,im comparing wif i5 version of n55sf..da price is 2799 now and same with ur stated price for dv6 which is 2799+its i7..
if compare to asus which is only i5 wiith tat price, eveybody will choose i7 rite..

so now,why is tat dv6 price drop so low from 3k ++??

are there so many problems until drop tat much in order to clear the dv6 stock?

DV6-6180US are imported set. Not sure if u can claim warranty with HP Malaysia or not. Also, not sure if u can extend the warranty or not. Maybe you could give HP a call and ask them directly. They never reply my in FB.

Malaysia model:
DV6-6001TX <-- i7-2630QM, HD6770M
DV6-6114TX <-- i7-2630QM, HD6770M
DV6-6108TX <-- i7-2720QM, HD6770M
DV6-6168TX <-- i7-2670QM, HD6770M
DV6-6167TX <-- i7-2670QM, HD6490M
DV6-6b14TX <-- i7-2670QM, HD6490M
DV6-6c19TX <-- i7-2670QM, HD7690M XT - upcoming model.

You could get DV6-6001TX for that price. Try PM l0uis or give Thundermatch a call.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
fcuk!!i bought edy dv6 6001tx...muahahah!!lucky got stock at thundermatch weh...all shop has stop selling tat model...

u replied me a bit late...heheheh..and lucky also din buy the us version 1 as wat u said above..sigh

@acid - need ur guide.after i did tis,wat shud i do?1.Download this HP driver. AMD High-Definition Graphics Driver 2011-11-18 , Version:8.882.2.3000, 338.97M.
Don't install it yet.
2.Download and install DriverSweeper 3.2.
3.Go into Control Panel and uninstall AMD Catalyst Install Manager
When uninstall choose this.
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
4.After that restart and enter Safemode. Use DriverSweeper and tick AMD-Display. Scan and clean. Reboot. <-------- not really neccessary but i hate the feeling of having leftover files in my system.
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
5.Install the HP AMD driver u download in the 1st step and reboot.



Optional: Now you can install any official/unofficial AMD driver on top of HP driver. Your selection will vary depending on the driver source.

after ive done the step 5 above,do i need to go amd website and dol and install the latest driver?is tat wat u mean?

This is getting confusing. sweat.gif Ignore leshcat's driver for now.

Now switch back to HD6770M and go to Control Panel>Program and Features.
Select AMD Catalyst Install Manager and click Repair Catalyst Install Manager and then reboot.

After that follow this guide. http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2063314/+215
