Hi guys,
Just talked to a tech at Gadjetzone Penang at Queensbay.
According to him, they still have 2 more units of the G55VW. However, these units were ordered from europe so no back pack is included. Price is RM3999.
The second batch of G55VW that they ordered from Taiwan would come with the backpack. However, they have no idea when this is going to be coming in.
*
ask them the full model number for the g55 eg: g55vw-s1095v( malaysia model)/g55vw-ds71( america/europe model)..

wait..it all make sense now..the right vent mostly closed because the battery is there..asus dont want to let the hot air from laptop to flow to battery..so they closed the vent that is infornt of the battery ..towards the left of the right vent, no more battery so they opened the vent..thats y the vent is blocked cause asus dont want to let hot air to flow to the battery, and the small place towards the left is for the hot air..that is just my assumption..high temperature from hot air will spoil battery..what you think?

OK THE VENT ISSUE SOLVED.!!! smile.gif smile.gif smile.gif smile.gif smile.gif smile.gif

I post a thread on the asus Repulbic of gamers(rog)..below is the link

http://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?1...ountry=&status=


and i got the answer from the ROG headquarters from taiwan..the name of the guy from headquarters is MARSHALLR@ASUS(Richard Swinburne).he isthe leader of the rog forum and works at asus hq

he says that :'Yes, some of the right side is closed intentionally. Nothing to worry about.'

so according to him..it is not a fault..it is closed intentionally..most probably for the battery life

take a look at the link.

Mine the same as you guys, one side is 75% blocked inside the vent grill. Looks like an assembly error at the factory. Blocking a vent makes no sense.

QUOTE(edkhailiang @ May 21 2012, 05:28 PM)
it may seems tat both open vents will blow out air easier.
but scientifically, when one vent is 100% open and the other is juz slightly open, air flow is more effective.
tis is because they are of different pressure. when air are pushes inside towards the narrow vent, it is at a higher pressure, it will flow directly towards the bigger vent. hence, this may be a more effective air flow system.

tis is the same as opening a can of condensed milk, where u nid an additional small hole for it to flow out thru the big hole tat u buka wif the can opener thingy.
*
wow..a good explanation indeed smile.gif not to mention the battery is there and thats the reason they closed a portion of the right vent

Things i dislike about G55 design is the lack of dual drives, and battery pack position(identical to G74/M14x). Though it pack with quite performance GPU, and better IOs on the side.
Not really sangkut, but i know how the air dissipates along the temp when it only release on one vent flow.
It should be okay as Asus R&D tested the heat not that high. G55 sacrificed quite a lot of major components from its predecessor.

quite a lot of sacrifices? what else did it sacrifice other else than the dual drives?

2020.. tongue.gif it will have intel core 9th gen processor,128gb ram , nvidia gtxx 1060 processor 32gb gddr5, bluetooth 10.0, mega blu ray drive, 6d ultra hd(4000x2000) holographic screen, 4 subwoofers, 5 usb 6.0.3 vents and FULY OPENED.

*the specs above is forecast specs only. will confirmed when asus product guide may-june 2020 arrive..so looks like you have to wait for the g56 and g76 to arrive

Added on May 21, 2012, 7:29 pmguys take a loook at the asus rog forum again..marshallr@asus from asus HQ has give a deep explanation on the vents

http://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?1...ountry=&status=

"this is what he say:Yes two fans and heatpipes - independently monitoring the GPU and CPU, output to one large, central vent. Aesthetically this vent is split in two, but the battery has to go somewhere, which is why it is blanked! Naturally the thickest point gives the most room for the 8 cell. Pop out the battery and see for yourself - it's absolutely not an error. They didn't make the vent smaller because symmetry is more visually pleasing. Technology doesn't adhere to human rules of beauty though - it's entirely functional.If you watch the G55/G75 video you'll see the two cooling fans clearly - it's an accurate representation of the construction."

take a look at the link

bro..the n56 only has 1366x768 screen confirmed..i called the asus hotline and ask him..so it is up to you whether you want to buy the g55 or the n56..you have to see to your needs and budget..if you can afford the g55, then go for it..but you said you play games moderately( note that g55 is a GAMING LAPTOP)..you can follow riku2replica advice to buy the n56..but the n56 screen is confirmed 1366x768 according to asus hotline..furthermore the g55 will last as future high end games might be playable with the g55 in low/ medium settings but might not be playable with the n56(MULTIMEDIA LAPTOP) due to lower graphic card..but the g55 is out of stock currently..what do you think bro?

chill bro,,, I have an idea for you, you buy the ssd and instal it as your primary drivein the g55, then now you have the 1tb hdd in your hands..go any buy the hdd internal to external converter..it is like a case where you put the 1tb hdd in the case and and use it as an external hdd..now the hdd can connect through usb port..finally you will have a ssd in the g55 and an external hdd( thats the default hdd in your g55) the converter is very cheap..around rm30 to 50 only..problem solved.


Edit; the converter is only around rm 10 to rm40
