Or can always go for the 4D version. if get, just fly to the country of your choice, walk in, buy, upgrade & fly back to Malaysia with a brand new Asus G55.

I saw a Slazenger Backpack for 17" laptop at luggage department Pacific Store, Komtar, Penang going for RM125. Padding looks ok, bag is huge & looks more like a luggage bag than a laptop bag. Comes in grey & black.

Don't get your hopes up too much. Asus design team rocks, however, their marketing, sales & customer service seem to come from same company as Dilbert's sales & marketing.

Just saw this review (eye candy) for the G55 that also shows the bag.

Better to wait & get the 1600MHz Ram when it's available as the stock RAM installed is 1600MHz.

PC Fair is on at PISA, Penang from today til the 1st of July. Hopefully I can get a hands on on a G55VW.

Any of the shops in penang can dismantle & install 16GB of RAM?
I'm thinking of upgrading the RAM to 4GBx2 + 4GBx2 but would have to be able to access the slot under the board & I don't want to send the laptop to the Asus Service center.

Arvin is probably spending some quality time with his G55.
I just got back from Gadgetzone BJC & they told me that they have 3 more units left as of 8pm at Gadgetzone Gurney.

There are still 2 units left at Gadgetzone Gurney as of last night, then they are reordering.
The tech there says that they can upgrade the RAM to 16GB 1600MHz without voiding the waranty.
However, he said that he would have to upgrade all 4 slots RAM instead of just adding in 3 more.

Choosing a G55 will teach you patience.
It takes about 3~4 weeks for Asus to reply to an email question. . with the usual reply.
a. we will check & get back to you.
b. you have to check with your reseller
c. what was the question again?

lol. Luckily, got a lot of sifus here who are very helpful & have answered most of my questions.
Now, I waiting for my boss to answer mine, which is ada budget beli tak. lol.

I really wish that the G55VW would come with a faster HD instead of the current 5400rpm one instead.

Hi Arvin,
Hows the temp on your G55 when playing Max Payne?

according to MarshallR@Asus from the ROG forum, the G55s with Thunderbolt will start shipping next week. Hopefully can reach Penang before end of August.

What to do, but by the time my boss approves the purchase, it'll will be 1~2 months.
Meanwhile, I am learning what to do & what not to do here in the forum.

Your everki beacon is this one, isn't it? Nice.

Instead of throwing away your existing Asus ROG backpack, can trade in for extra RAM?
