I'm contemplating between MSI GE60 and ASUS G55VW S1131V.
Can anyone of you that owns a G55 provide some experience with that machine? Thanks

QUOTE(Arvinaaaaa @ Jun 25 2012, 02:03 PM) R u from the nottingham forum? The g55 is great..powerful abd good cooling solution.no problems so far Was the threadstarter for V1 and V2 if that's what you're asking. Lol.Hmm. How about the keyboard? Looks nice from the photo due to the spacing. Hopefully it's not 'plasticky'. |

Well that's true also.
One question, RAM upgrades and MSATA also need to get back to ASUS centre to slot it in or we can do it ourselves without voiding the warranty? |

But for G55VW right can we opt for the SSD instead of the 1TB?
If can then I'll just use a HDD bay to replace the DVD and slot in another normal 2.5" HDD as slave HDD lol |

QUOTE(holloway @ Jun 25 2012, 08:58 PM) 2 non user accessible rams (they already put in the rams there) 4GB rams... so the 2 user accessible rams is still open for upgrade.. Ah cool. At least they go put the RAMs in non accessible ones (unless you dismantle)mSATA however, as u already know.. need to void warranty really? OMG LA ASUS... if thats the case.. i might void the warranty once i check the laptop is running fine with everything coz if i open i will directly change everything (change the damn rams, add msata, repaste thermal into IC diamond) but then i will see have to see the blueprint of this laptop thoroughly first.. haha How many G55VW users here btw? |

Wait so the internal ram is 2 x 4GB 1600?
Then if you slot in 1 x 8GB it won't run dual channel is it? |

QUOTE(TechMaxed @ Jun 26 2012, 12:21 AM) just to give you all a better understanding...vpn never make ur internet speed fast...and vpn's main function is to anonymize (dunno if i spelled it correctly) but basically it is like a filter that doesnt allow isp to see wht u are doing....and services such as mytunnel.us are able to bypass quota (once again not the main function of vpn), it is a loophole in the isp service that allow us to have unlimited bandwidth... Yup what he said ^However I'm surprised that they allow VPN tunnels without CAPPING its speed lol. That's funny. |
