alien nerdy here.

Cheking in~~

and i like the term, 'use it well. you are only our hope for survival. the future is in your hands'.

beware of the new jets! oh, and beware of the new alien ships as well.

gaming laptop replicas/resembles:

MSI - dragons
ASUS - jet fighter
AW - alien ships

yeah all nice symbols haha!

just now when i cleaned up my fans and vents, i accidentally cabut the black clip that secure the flat cable to the PCB of usb ports on the left side of the laptop lol!

well, it's relatively easy to put it back; just match all the tiny holes on the black clip with the lineup of tiny copper things

The vent on GPU is very small, possible to remove battery & poke new hole for more air flow for GPU fan side? Just a thought =\ 

asus had abandoned ATI after G74. its probably hard to get ATI back into the releases.

epic reply     

of the three symbols, the jet fighter can only carry limited supplies of fuels and ammunition. once out of supplies, the jet fighter cannot fly and cannot shoot! there asus has told us for so many years already; we just don't realize it LOL!

and no you didn't miss anything; it's correct that there is one slot that has nothing to do with anything

ya lo.. need to change to a new jet fighter.. then they tell you, 'no stock.', 'this model is too new; not yet come!' :/
no idea; never went to those sections. you need it badly?

yup I am later on, when haswell it out on tablets. I bought this one as a gift for someone

depending on your needs, it might be worth to get (, or not). it's mainly about regular maintenance and upgrade abilities:

1. it has a good cooling system. it's cool and silent. the stock cooling system should be able to cope with up to i7 3840qm cpu (afaik, the cpu is still a PGA package, not BGA package; meaning you have the choice to switch cpu's. BGA is soldered cpu's).

2. it is a smaller form factor; it should be convenient for you to carry it around; of all the asus gaming laptops, the mobility of this laptop is relatively much better (only 2.5kg with battery);

3. if it's used for common work purposes, it might be powerful enough to last for the next 2 to 3 years (if it comes with i7 cpu then it's good enough). there is nothing noticeable between a ivy-bridge and haswell in terms of performance imo if you're talking about common usage. as for gaming, the 660m is fine for less demanding games; but not for current resource-hogging games.

now some short comings:

1. support service: this might be a problem to you. many said the after-sales tech support sucks; only one said they have good tech support; however if you are experienced, you can manage it yourself. there are some good tear-down guides for your reference.

alternatively, get it from local sellers like illegear, but please make yourself aware of service charges and shipping costs that their service will cost you (but i believe they will charge reasonably).

2. self maintenance: it's compact, so it's relatively hard to do regular cleaning up (fans, vents). yes you can get it done at service center, but see above.

3. upgrade abilities: from what i've read, the ram is up to 16gb (2x 8gb; 2 ram slots); the laptop has an mSATA slot (for mSATA ssd's). the problem is, there is no place holder for a screw to secure it.

4. battery: to take it out, you need to do some dis-assemblies first.

g46, like other g-series, is a good laptop. if it runs fine for the first few weeks without glitches, it's probably relatively defect-free for the rest of its shelf life. make sure you check all the common hardware right after you have purchased it (cpu/gpu temperatures under load; screen; ports - usb, hdmi, minidisplay/thunderbolt, headphone jacks, wifi; keyboard lights; all fn key combos, battery charging, etc.) this is a typical step you should do for all your electronics. if you found defects, straight away go and find the sellers for one-to-one exchange.

still, you have other choices. i would suggest you look around. the price tag on a g46 is relatively expensive if you compared the specs alone.

wahhh v9 ady :3

last saturday i went to ask for ASUS G series, and the same answer as replied last 2 weeks,

SA : No more stock
Me : Wow, why ah?
SA : Too hot liao.

macam yes.

although i am ok with asus g-series, but a bigger picture must be told :/
wtf? is this a script? these people.. it's really something :/

hi v9

LOL! now we know.. it's that HARD to tell the truth.

holloway

Bro, u paste ur thermal edi? Got do testing??

Anyone has experience replace the wireless card in this model?

currently there is no news on g46 and g55 refreshes yet (the current g46 just started to populate the local market; i saw it when i was at lyp just now).

however from the trend, asus is beginning to solder cpu's even to their 17.3" gaming laptops. it's very likely that those refreshes have soldered cpu's. i think you should wait for a bit to find that out (well, that is, if you wish to switch cpu's. the current version can let you go up to 3840qm).

whatever it is, that's how asus plays the game with their rog gaming laptops. time will tell. for consumers, it's much easier to decide
