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?

yup..looks like we have to wait for clarification from asus rog expert and asus support

Added on May 21, 2012, 3:36 pmeither asus engineers are stupid for not opening the vent, or they are geniuses for closing it for the battery's sake

Added on May 21, 2012, 3:44 pmasus just replied my email..and they are asking for the serial no to check the production date and design..etc etc..just sent to them.

OK THE VENT ISSUE SOLVED.!!!

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.

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

Added on May 21, 2012, 5:34 pm2020.. 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

approx when you getting your refund bro? and is it ok for you to get the g55 with one hdd only? i mean you can always use an external hard drive what laptop you decided to buy after refund?

---

Added on May 21, 2012, 5:56 pmyeah..they MIGHT NOT LISTEN to the feedback.at first we thought the g55 was perfect before it arrive, but now, i has only 1 hdd bay..a negative point to the powerful g55

Added on May 21, 2012, 6:02 pmso you going to use the 240gb ssd as the primary drive..wow, that will really increase the speed of the g55

This post has been edited by Arvinaaaaa: May 21 2012, 06:02 PM

Ok, but what will happen to the dafault hdd in your g55? Will you sell the hdd?

im ready to lepaskan bom at asus rog malaysia facebook page...but what should we write there?

no need la..as if they going to know about it..on 2nd thought, maybe i will ask them.

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

most possible will have..or you maybe must wait for a while for the stock to arrive or you can buy the 3d model

nope..it only comes with hd(1366x768) only..to confirm that i asked asus hotline while asking about the vent in the g55..he says it is only 1366x768

---

Added on May 21, 2012, 9:03 pmbro..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
