i only know one in lyp. dunno in selangor~ although i live in shah alam. I think there is none or i wasn't aware of one existing~ i'll to look around and let u know ..

i think there is a reset button where it returns to factory default setting for win8. but if u want to format and u meant to backup win 8 key. i think there is a token backup software. forgot whats the name. someone will come by and let u know~ lol

nope. don't think so. i know only of win7 but not win8 having recovery disk

its a 180W u can check it.

under-voltage usually will claim its toll sooner or later. It might not be good for the laptop itself. I'm not so sure if the laptop has enough transformer to increase the input W, although everything is in the power brick itself. Buy it online maybe?

yeah~ but it's not a biggie when one can afford aircond well most of u are staying in an aircondition room already~

haha.. yeah i will sure put it up on the first page =.=" how'd i miss this lol

not so sure if they still carry in brand new units but u can check our garage sells other than if u don't mind some of us are letting go of their G55.

I'm also thinking of letting go of mine thinking of upgrading since GTX660M isn't gonna cut it in future games served me well for more than a year and a happy user. It's just that time to move on~ maybe

by using u mean to use it or u want to optimize it to be as part of ur HDD. If

1). Use it as a normal partition. just format it~

2). Use the recovery like horns mention at boot up spam F9. Or to create recovery disk (5 DVD) u can download from asus website the software to make that.

Refresh Win8


Have you tried the above method?

Just wondering your G55 comes stock win8 or win7.

I can't help that much for win8, haven't had the time to play around with.

lucky we have horns here.

I think alot of people had problems when updating via air (online store, or updates and such)

Rather people who did clean install would experience less of this misfits~ I also do recommend people to do clean install it's a lot more problem free well only thing is need to backup every single thing in C: .

cool . i think i wanna grab one also for my g55. well see how it goes~ i rarely touch mine lol

Midvalley don't know they have a good IT store there or not. Rarely see people go mid to fish laptops~ usually it's digital mall or lyp only.

it's still in 5k price range (i've heard people getting it for less) sweet deals doesn't come often, need to check garage sells freq for offers

Haha +1. Just in case i missed their new update~ coz it's been awhile i step my foot at mid.

hmm. of course m17 performs better. Not because it is an AW but because of the specs itself.

i7 3820 vs i7 4770~
gtx 680m vs gtx 770m~

For GPU according to notebookcheck GTX 680M is 20% faster compared to GTX 770M and thats not even the GTX 680MX.

For CPU the 4700mq vs 3820. It's actually a really close call (i lied). but a winner is a winner the 3820qm performs better than 4700mq

p/s: from the specs itself clearly can see the winner for performance. Believe me you don't want to see 3D 24/7 but that 120hz is really a plus tho. money vs performance~

Not sure, don't know if there will be one. so long and never had any news. Just rumours thats all

You can check at PC fair, but i think if they have it there for sure we will see user's here or our reseller here at garage sells selling one.

Regarding PC fair's i have similar opinion regarding this guy's insight he is our very own forumer as well

PC fair insight

I think mine need to spray plastidip aswell~ coz the other day when i wipe2 my laptop i can see the rubber about to peel off~ God i never touch this laptop and still wear off sign =.=" sad rubber sad!

well the wear off sign is not from the backpack.. i think coz it's already more than a year old.~ haiz.. to be exact 18 months lol

Then let mine be very modest~ no battle scars~ but now got ady. F*K

nope. depends on where u put ur G-series. in aircond room less dust (i remember tonberry laptop.. super clean coz always in aircond room) unlike mine i just recently open again (after 3 months) already can see dust accumulate. The only setback here is dust~ and AWESOME COOLNESS if u set it nicely

edit: there is actually suction fan for behind. i got one for my previous laptop. and as for the u3 yep quite a number of 15" and 17" are using that actually.

just in case we miss it. The utilities CD consist of how many DVD's the normal recovery Disk have up to 5 DVD's (i still have them) unless you fresh install it with new OS (either win 7 or win8) and make sure it's 64 bit

Awesome . just wondering why do u need soo much airflow when ure in aircondition room. Get a good thermal paste will do the job well done already. what's ur average temp (cpu/gpu) atm

depends on how long u want to keep that laptop around . In aircond room is already good enough. Laptop doesn't tend to die easily either. As long as it doesnt hit near threshold temperature 24/7~ that is.

+1.

I prefer clean install. All those bloatwares gone~. Less hassle as well .
