yup..extreme gaming..coz once i go to college, i will play less games and i too will use it for heavy software..so far the g55 is a damn beast...no lags

there is subwoofer in this beast
another thing, can u manually switch the graphic card between the intel hd 4000 and the built-in gtx660m? or it will be switched autoMAGICALLY?

bcos i heard from somebody saying that the graphic card is not switchable (both automatic or manual switching).i feel tat it is reli impossible for not allowing users to switch it

No, there is not switchable graphic feature. BIOS doesn't allow Intel 4000 enabled.
*
which means the g55 will run solely with the gtx660m for graphics processing?
*i am sort of confused now,haha*

so, this design still ok bo??

the vent output space become smaller, then the air flow........~~~will effect or not.......

for example, G53 fully blow out the hot air~~~but G55 sangkut  abit~~
*
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.

ya agree v u,

if G55 come v dual drive bay, after i get refund, i sure buy ...but now still wana think about it.....lol...when G56 will come out??>haha
*
well, i tink the next renewal of G series laptops will be sometime next year, not to mention the introduction of g75 in malaysia.
tis is bcos Intel has announced tat Haswell will be the successor of Ivy Bridge by 2013.so i guess they will have new chips for all kinds of laptops as well.

it can't be..all is preinstalled with 12gb ddr3 ram, i mean the european model( g55vw-ds71)...unless it is a totally different model..ask them the full specs and THE FULL MODEL IF THIS PARTICULAR LAPTOP THEY SELLING...

to confirm with the service center in malaysia..do like what i did with my g55vw-s1095v..before i purchased it, i ask seller the serial no of the g55 im going to buy..with the serial no, i called asus hotline and ask them to verify the serial no whether it can be serviced or not in the future and whether it is ori or not..after conformation then only i buy the g55vw..

iF GOT NO PROBlem WITH SERVICE CENTER and they can verify serial no, then only get it bro..SO YOU NEED TO ASK HIM THE SERIAL NO TOO, for verification purpose

may i know what is the hotline of asus malaysia?

The 2nd batch however, will come with the backpack.

they are of the same company with all the others gadgetzone in penang, which means there is onli 1 stock is left in penang.

Hi Ed,
Can you confirm that your G55VW is the G55VW-S1095V model?
Also, a few snap shots of your new baby would be nice for the rest of us to drool over. smile.gif.
For the rest of the kaki here, looks like Gadgetzone still have one.
You can probably contact Andrew at 017-4788006 to get more information.
He is the tech based at their outlet in Queensbay & is a very helpful guy.
Any other places in Penang selling the G55VW yet apart from Gadgetzone?
*
hello, sure sure. but have to wait until tonite after i finish work.
indeed Andrew is a very helpful tech, he almost explain everything to me about the Ivy Bridge and Asus laptops.haha
Go get this beast for yourself.
Btw, according to the gadgetzone ppl in gurney, N56 will be available in penang ard 2nd week of June and G55 will be available onli ard end of June.
No where else (at least according to my knowledge) is selling this g55 in Penang, before i went to gurney gadgetzone, i have went to town, bukit jambul, seberang prai and butterworth. none of them has this model. gadgetzone has got only 3 as well.

it is not like the g75 where you can see the subwoofer..it is built in, cannot see..i can be sure that got 3 speakers in the g55(left right and subwoofer)

to prove it, go to the sound options at bottom right..there you can uncheck the 2.1..if you uncheck, the subwoofer will off and if you check, the subwoofer will on..big sound difference..try it bro
*
oh, so now i understand tat "built-in subwoofer" meaning, haha. thanks for clearing my doubts.
i am still new to these kind of gaming laptop, bcos i dont usually play alot of games on pc.
indeed,the notification even frm fb msg is vr clear and loud when i juz set my volume at 2.lol

yes..that sound is the subwoofer..the volume you set at 2 is for the left and right speaker only( not the subwoofer) ..i had learnt that cannot control the subwoofer volume using the volume buttons..only can control from application like windows media player..


Added on May 23, 2012, 11:54 am
should be around 230 only bro..cannot be over rm400, maybe different la..but please do check whether the g55 can enter the bag or not b4 buying it..most of the 15 to 17 inch bag cannot fit the g55..the g55 is big and thick towards the back.
*
