Haha!
Now you know why i was pissed off asus used soldered cpu?
Yeah.. Thats the second turn-off.
No, youre in an asus thread. And this is a good discussion :/
To me, the trend is like: Everything they do leads to lower sales?

  chill bro, is open discussion.
You are correct, we dun jz discuss only asus but also other brand. Especially other brand is start to move ahead than asus. fanboy is buying the same brand without knowing the pro & cons. 

Until Asus got their butt hurt sales report baru they know lo

for how well the msi laptops run, it's still better to ask the owners here. however i still don't like the idea of having a single fan (even though it's very efficient).

yeah.. we no fan boys we happened to have the asus g-series and we find this thread is nice to hang around. i personally like g55 because it's cool and quiet even under loads. other than that,
right, it's pointless worshiping brands. they are just laptops.

for asus, we just hope they realize one thing for their gaming laptops: if you wanna go cutting edge, think carefully first ('smart' inventions like m.2 ssd converter is something that really make people laugh :/). looking at things in every possible angles, not just based on sales stats (that's too lazy and lame, because there are always actual reasons behind what drove the sales).
uh? it runs like you have 1 ssd and runs everything on that ssd. 3 ssd's do not mean it will run faster

besides, i use ram disk instead of ssd for my work. it's much snappier.
yeah asus is too conservative for their laptops; but they pretend to be very innovative and dare to go cutting edge (with all the wrong solutions).

it's a good case study on how reliable brands kill their own products

b00ter's replies were mine.
haha! it's better to ask them at msi thread yeah i think it's fine if the temperature is under control; but i still think it's better to have 2 fans. no need to clean up and replace paste for cpu and gpu at the same time ma lol!

yeah. it's better that we don't limit the topics to asus gaming laptops (it has limited topics only). imo there are no 'the best' among the brands. each has pro's and con's. i really hope we all can get to know more about these gaming laptops, or other related things. that might be helpful for all of us to choose what we need from all those choices (and budgets).

the same as you, i used to have high hopes on asus gaming laptops. however, reality is reality :/

Dun ever start about asus service quality... jz dun....

my god... here we go again... Asus service center done right to me...

x
Edit: and Asus N45SF Asus G75vx is  very good product in my exp... and satisfy with their product.. with the time of price and affordability of purchase for me..

new owner of g55vw report for duty.
bought a y510p us set new,didnt manage to use and sold it and got g55vw new set offer from a buddy..luckyly i didnt open the y510p,never regret to choose g55...eventhough the spec is bit outdated compare to 510 but the build is damn solid...bomb proof but it gain the weight.

really... wow my parent and uncle say i am like Apollo (greek gods) sun move around me... not other way around... damm all this time they lie to me..

yeah but most of the times i just hope to replace thermal pastes for cpu or gpu only. currently my gpu temperature is so damn nice.

i just hope they stop self-screwing themselves (i.e. syok sendiri) :/
hey welcome

come on.. people in retail market also need to eat la :/ the margin must be good so that they have motivations to sell. these are higher-end laptops that only serve very limited niche market; it's not like those for common consumer market. they have rents to pay; salary and commissions to pay; and all sorts of things to take care of.

however, the retailers do understand the behaviors of consumers (all want premium stuff with low-baller price; well, who don't want that? right?). so they make adjustments to accommodate the market.

retail selling pricing is the dream that manufacturers hope to sell; however, usually dream and reality are just totally different.

so if you still think it's a rip-off, you can always choose other routes to get the stuff. we are all aware of places that can get things cheaper, very much cheaper. it's your call to continue support the local retailers, i.e. pay a bit higher price for local warranty support especially; so as to help them to sustain (you are still allowed to negotiate with them and most of the times you can get good discounts; if not you can still go for other shops), or go for cheaper ones from elsewhere (just note that there are risks in this one; so it's all up to you).

yes support local industry ! 

he say "support local retailer" ...

yup is in all job Description of salesman..

oh my do i need to add my work badge and my Degree on here ? you guys welcome to FAcebook lol

LOL

I don't know how to do it as well hahahaha.

Lol! Its @holloway in []
From ebay. About MYR 200.
Good find

eerr.... recently quite bizi to learn how to disassemble it. Waiting holloway to guide me oso   

uh? oh ok. 

actually, there is no need to guide :/ it IS simple (but tedious due to the screws). you just need to be careful and patient. that's all. a better way is to take a lot of pictures along the way.

But u know which screws to remove to unlock which compartment.

ya me too hahaha!

where got? i have 2 screws nowhere to put dy :/

How much is a second hang g55 worth now. I got new mobo n batt

Haha! In my case i lost 2 screw holders! However this thing is still fine )
Sorry i have no idea. The last time i checked its about 3k? (If im not wrong it was a used 3d model)

second hang maybe cost 2.3k, second no hang cost like 3k++   

True true.. I purposely took off some so that i can tear it down faster hahaha!

anyone tried the new beta driver? http://www.nvidia.com/object/notebook-win8...eta-driver.html

I think the new driver is more for win8

good for you.

previously there were some people here had the same thing. additionally my laptop is 3d model.

well, to be frank, everything is working fine for me with a 209; i have no complaint for this haha

Oh really? i thought it cant be downgrade. Well since its working for me I dun have to downgrade then.

no. i am using stock bios all the times, even if i had the special versions

well, i did use the special versions for a week or two when i got it lol!
