How much does SSD cost? So if i have a 1TB HDD, i change it to 1TB SSD in order to increase speed?
So i have to keep the battery in the laptop for the rest of my life?
and also, are you saying that ultrabooks are having this concept too?
So did you manage to remove the battery yourself? Or do i have to keep it in it for the rest of my life?
Since you bought the laptop, is there any way to turn off graphics and turn on power saving mode in order for battery life to last longer? That's what the promoter told me today if i want to save battery.
(2) yupe, DDR 5 is some sort faster, but i don't think there are any significant difference.
(4) So your specs are the i5 with 8GB RAM? Did you get the SSD? If you did, how much was it?
(9) Does the powerplan option really save a lot of battery while doing MS office work? Can it be an increase from 4 hours to 5?
There's a dust removal button? Like to remove dust IN the laptop? I didn't know.
and an additional question: What cooling pads do you recommend?
Yeah, you prolly have to keep the battery inside for the rest of your life. /:
And yeah ultrabooks have the non user removable batteries, cause errrr... not sure, using smaller batteries to make em light i guess? hahah
Yes, there's the nvidia optimus option. You can either set to use intel hd4000 or the nvidia dedicated graphics card. Or set it to choose by it self so that you don't have to change it al the time
When the laptop needs heavy graphics power, it automatically uses the graphics card, or else it keeps using the intel graphics. And you can also set up programs to which ever graphics you want. for example, set up some games to use the nvidia graphics and it'll automatically use that whenever you use that program~
(2) Yup, not much of a huge difference.
(4) I bought an extra 4Gb ram only, which was for 120. The 32Gb SSD was over 300 so I didn't buy it /: My Budget was flat 2K but I went a bit over it and now I'm suffering with my daily life a bit xD
(9) Power plan option only changes the processor speed i think, so when the laptop needs less speed, it underclocks the processr. Or when it needs a lot of juice to play games, it kicks it up and uses the turbo boost. I'm not sure about 5 hours but it is possible if you keep the bightness at the lowest and only use less demanding programs like MsOffice
Check my previous post, it'll have a screenshot on where to find the dust removal button
think it just removes the dust from where the wind from the fan can reach. Not really the whole laptop.
I'm not sure about cooling pads, but I almost went for logitech n100 once because it has a good design~
I previously owned a netbook so I didn't really need one, but now I keep the heating of this lappy to a minimum because I don't want to damage the battery~ I play games in my really cold room xD
And here's a screenshot of the nvidia optimus settings. Auto change, set to nvidia graphics, set to intel hd. These are the three options. And in the program settings tab, you can set which program to use which graphics so that when you're using intel hd graphics and suddenly want to play games, it'll use the nvidia for the game

and yes, it does boost OS booting speed. take note that there is another type of SSD, that is mSATA SSD. its HDD sized but they are RAM like module that is installed in the daughter board of the motherboard.
