it's not healthy for the system when higher voltage ram is used, the thing is the ram itself needed a 1.5V to fully operate while the slot only provides 1.35V =.=" it may affect the ram probably shorter lifespan for the ram and thus the system might be affected too coz the ram didn't perform as it should be.. probably somewhere it;s forced too much. lol

hmm i test on win8 with standard DDR3 this i got after 2 hour(yes still appear after update SSD Firmware it only fix after change RAM DDR3"L")

Better dun play with the laptop RAM, u might duno wat r u dealing with in future, those seller of coz say can 1. Mau jual manyak manyak untung ma~~

Desktop pc no problem 1, can play with the voltage.

ya the problem is still how far can the imc in the cpu can stand the long term operations like this.

wo.. thanks for the head-up.

true; that's why it's time to get a desktop lol!

Wow thought their laptop was low quality now their customer service also hmm. Not gona get msi. The g46 is 3rd gen right? Is it ok? G750 is above my budget bro

Yap its very hard. They say need to order and wait for 1 or 2 weeks to get. Size 13 to 15 Inches. I will use it for uni and programs like autocad inventor solidworks cathia for product designing and for presentation and word tasks and also for some quality gaming. It should be portable and must have some decent battery life with decent cooling and good graphics. My budget is around rm4500

If you had the time, maybe you can go to lyp, there are some shops selling g46. You can also contact the sellers at garage sales. Some of them are selling it too.

It should be fine to run the software that you mentioned. As for gaming, just remember this is a laptop. Many highend settings in games are for highend desktop gpus only.

Whats your expected screen size? I think g46 is 1366x768; you can get a replacement lcd panel with 1600x900.

And its relatively difficult to take out the battery.

haha if you don't belive me go lowyat plaza compare... go in asus service center ask them let say example "hello i need help and my notebook still under warranty +new can service center help me upgrade without cost?" try with both Asus and MSI service center see which one reply way you want... i try and exp it..

x
and you can really compare by seen service center by visual asus on top floor where seat and number show ready to accept customer meanwhile msi is on behind shop on second floor... with one sad looking chinese dude... who seem to dislike tech and don't want to help you or like to say "NO " or maybe just me... haha maybe just me... im not bias here i no longer own ASUS by way look im still asus threads...

Dude, what u need to compare is how is the engineer service ur laptop not how CS staff serve you at the front. That asus CS manager said wana extend my warranty service till now never give me any response, sms and call no reply. Always need me go to the sc myself just to clarify things. Then will serve me for the sake of service. Like my petrol is free my parking is free also my time is free.

You haven been that far bro, and sincerely I hope you won't need to...

Meanwhile, my friend have new MSI for 3 month gone for service, get back the laptop give you free DEEEEEEP scratch at the cover. And they give you a smile without doing anything bout it. So... good luck bro...

every brand has its own stories :/

i just hope the people in these service centers practice professionalism and work ethics, and be more responsible and fair to the people they serve.

i think for mentioned softwares autocad and stuff.. with decent rams 16gb - 32 gb it will work fine along with the 3630qm proc

but as for quality gaming 660m last year is a beast.. this year the fangs kena cabut already.. most newer games will run fine on medium even when OC'ed

for budget 4.5k i think if u don't mind the lenovo then upgrade the SSD and rams?

it's portable and quite decent battery ( i think comes with optimus while g55 doesn't comes with optimus) but regarding cooling, might be hotter on palm rest. other than that u can scout for 2nd hand high end laptops on our garage sell

deep scratch... hmm if that happen i give that tech deep scratch on his dam forehead only mother could luv him after...

A Dell technician is at my office to service a laptop now, the way i see how he tear down the laptop is quick and efficient, he only spend less than 5 min to tear the whole laptop apart. That makes me really jelly.

Then i think about my asus pula....
facepalm of the century....

a few dell technicians are good. others.. not so. i saw one dell tech dropped the screen of an aw in front of me while he disassembled it to access the internals. then he's like nothing happened putting all parts back, leaving some scratches on the lid. the owner was like and i was like . he left just like that.

But when compare Dell techician, you still able to see what they r doing right in front of u, if anything goes wrong, you able to make complain based on what you see.

At asus, you have no idea how they fap & rape your laptop behind you. I am sorry to say that, I am waaaay too disappoint how they serve me from the 1st level of CS till the hardware support.

A HUGE point on why a lot of people prefer dell/AW after sale services. (y)

true. it hurts more when you saw all that happen so you will most probably be very pissed off, up to the extent asking for a brand new unit or a full refund

as for asus or any other brands, well, good luck to them. i really don't know on what basis these foreign brands appointing the service center operators, until they can jeopardize the marketing efforts (maybe lack of proper communications internally, i don't know).

that's why when we get whatever electronics these days, don't get too excited yet. test and check them out inside and out first.

Cmon... could be worst... could be Acer or MSI...

Guys i need some help..i place my SSD in the ODD drive and my laptop cant detect it..what's the problem?

can you see your ssd in the bios menu?

have you initiated your ssd? if you haven't, right click on your computer icon in file explorer and choose manage. then from the computer management, select storage > disk management. a dialogue should pop up and ask you to initiate the new disk. it's best to make it mbr disk.
