There is some leaked info on the new Asus G46VR, how legit is this ?
*
Not so sure about that. Did you see it in any asus website? probably it could be true.

rumors said g46vr is already on the way (found at some European websites). found some screenshots too (but i'm not sure if they are real or just seo pranks). whether it's legit or not, not sure.

1. cpu is still 3630qm;
2. gpu changed to 760m.

usually asus support website will give us clues whether the said models are to be released in near future. for instance, the existence of g750 was denied but apparently it's on the way previously; when you can find the support page of that model, it's very likely the news is legit.

rumors also said intel is pushing partners to release devices with BGA packages :/ but again, it's up to the manufacturers. to me putting a BGA package in a gaming laptop is still not a good decision.

finally, rumors said there is no g55 anymore.

note that the above are all rumors. don't believe anything until they're proven to be true.

edit: .. and it's not only us. many complained about soldered cpu's.
*
Yeah i also see on european website.. now i'm wondering why is it on european website.. asus is now based on europe? lol.. why do they get the info first? and it seems that some web even have prices around 12XX euro? lol but no stock available

of course. it's a buying factor.. even though i probably wouldn't upgrade now (but now i'm thinking if i can upgrade my GPU) i would surely go for it.. since the 660M seems like a beast with the fangs kena cabut.. not so scary anymore.. lol

Thanks for the tips. Looks like placing thermal will reduce some temp, but not much like PC. Unless there's way to delid the CPU & GPU.
I dun understand what you mean by getting external dongle. Mind to explain more?

Do u know where to get killer bigfoot wireless-n wifi card at malaysia?
*
Of course, PC cooling other than the thermal paste, the cooling system also u can customize according to what u need.. liquid coolant and stuff.. and somemore the heat dissipation from CPU already affect the GPU and vice versa. whereas for PC u can clearly see there is alot of space for the heat to dissipate and won't effect each other. Laptop with a few degrees drop in temp is considered really good already since it will help to sustain the lifespan abit more and of course maintain it's peak performance smile.gif. (there is actually calculation for when the temp is high the performance will be affected tongue.gif)

samsung announced mass production of its xp941 pcie based m.2 ssd. the speed is 1.4GB/s.

incredible.. and wow.. pcie based? where should i plug that in my g55? lol..

QUOTE(horns @ Jun 17 2013, 06:21 PM)
i think they are at war in the european markets with competitors. previously european sites got the vx and g46 first iirc. i remembered when i saw the g55/g75 for the first time, it's at russian sites too (beside europe only). at that time, there was actually one g75 model with 3720qm cpu (back then the max ram supported was declared at 16gb biggrin.gif)
*
Ic, must be a big market there if they release almost everything there first. Since i couldn't understand their language i'm still wondering how big is the market there. Is it worth it to release there first?

for laptops, only mac can enjoy that first (well.. for now. some asus desktop boards also can use that)

no idea about market share in Europe lol; but i guess it's important to asus to maintain presence there.
*
ah.. MAc ... always MAC. i don't use MAC.. not designing anything.. i'm weak at ART or anything related with it.. haha

IC.. probably the market share there is really good aswell, since they can be considered rich country~..

what thermal paste did u buy? rclxms.gif


QUOTE(ykgen @ Jun 19 2013, 09:02 PM)
not really.. but i have never removed the battery from the laptop for the past 1 year.. and one more thing, those who use the G55 without battery, does the time need to reset every time we boot the laptop? mine was automatically reset to 1/1/2009  rclxub.gif
*
its the cmos battery inside your laptop. probably worn out. smile.gif just disassemble and replace it's close to the non-user accessible rams.. probably u want to add more rams too brows.gif

if u have 12gb ram.. ask them to swap the 2 outside with the stock ram inside.. so the next time u're planning to add more rams, u don't need to go to asus service center biggrin.gif..

beware for new haswell machines: the voltage of the ram is now 1.35v. ram that need 1.5v (common ones that can be found in the local market) are very likely to cause troubles later (over heating, damage to the cpu integrated memory controller (due to the increased potential difference), and increased battery use).

damn.. it's in the specs of the cpu :/
*
ic ... so thats what they are expecting.. no wonder our ram price naik smile.gif .. well its always a newer one that will cause the older ones at ridiculous price
