look like this v3000 series will be 'hot' among all laptop man!!

I am waiting 4 the full detail spec for this laptop. will make a survuy to LYP this week for the best price and spec....hopefully our bro william is the best offeier....hahahaaaaa.....

one thing i very 'bimbang' is that AMD turion X2 become produce lot of heat?? any one have idea?? As i know even Acer duo core 5560 series got a lot complain abt the heat( refer to the Acer 5560 club in the forum)......really worry abt it...

great lappy, enjoyed!

my best offer with v3010 is with upgrade to 1 gb ram(1pcs) = rm3200

My advise, buy from the shop out there....

I place an order for a V2613 for RM2999 on 26 June. And I reliaze today there is this V3000 come out on 29 June. In fact I ask the HP telesales when the V3000 will come out and I was told it will not available 2 months for now... That's is why I place an order...

If you go to the low yat, you can ask for discount further ... the V2613 can sell for RM2890 on 24 June when I ask. and it was sell at RM2499 as of today.

Honestly I am quite disappointing with this... I cancelled my order today and there is 15% charges. It is still RM50 cheaper to buy the same unit...

I learn my lesson. So I hope other do not....

u mean not to buy from me?

Nothing to do with. I was just feeb by wrong information by some telesales personnel.

double post... oops

AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology
Model Number Thermal Design Power Frequency L2 Cache
TL-60 35W 2.0 GHz 2 x 512 KB
TL-56 33W 1.8 GHz 2 x 512 KB
TL-52 31W 1.6 GHz 2 x 512 KB
TL-50 31W 1.6 GHz 2 x 256 KB

it shouldnt be too hot tho.... 31W looks good to me... core duo is also 31W... and you are not recommended to use it on your lap. especially for guyz

According to Intel's website, they have a lower power consumption version for 1.66GHz Intel Core Duo at 15W.


Intel® Core(tm) Duo processor L2400 65 nm 2MB L2 1.66 GHz 667 MHz 15W

the lower power comsumption version cost more... and most of the time u cant find it on regular dual core notebooks... they usually appear on ultra-portable series notebooks ...

check out the pricing for those chips... at least USD 100 more

http://www.intel.com/intel/finance/priceli...u_Price_web.pdf

So.....how? no too hot? how abt if playing game?hot is still acceptable, but i have bad experience was my laptop will shut down any time, expecially when you are playing a simple game or just watching a movie...deamit ~!!! according to technician is cause by heat..

I do not know what is this AMD proceser model (turion???Alton????)but it is in my Twinhead Efio!123A ......i bought almost 2 year lol.. Now plan to change a new lappie, so any one have same experience with me or you used new 64bit turion amd have no such problem??? share with us~~~!!!



planning buy this and can play game..ohohoho..because of the Nvidia card.....but still worry la.....

threadstarter, do u have another compaq laptop with better turion x2 processor? TL-52 and above..... coz i think the 2 X 256kb L2 cache is not enough (core duo is already 2mb)

Frankly, it is amazing to have such power consumption (15W) at 1.66GHz, dual core, 667MHz FSB & 2MB L2 Cache albeit only at 32-bit. Definitely worth the USD 100 extra for ultra portables with 11" screen size & below. Can't wait what the upcoming Intel Merom has to offer for low power consumption processor.

Hey guys.
I finally got it the V3011AU with WinXP Home!! Its looks freaking sexy with it's black casing, something like the cool looking Vaios and Fujitsus!

Got it at MTCS LYP for RM3359 with 1 GB RAM upgrade and free optical mouse. Actually Sri Comp offer RM3320 for same specs but they ask me wait until 6pm today fro stock to arrive!!! Pigi la, my parking will kill me, so I thot wat the heck la RM39 bucks only ma.

NOw creating the recovery dvds, so belum mess around yet. But so far running for about 2 hours temp about 65 degrees, doesn't really burn the hand yet

Will post pics soon ok.

BTW confirmed it runs nVidia GeForce Go 6150 shared RAM up to 256MB

congratulations

waiting for ur review........ fast fast

Lucky u didnt buy from Sri Comp, I heard their staffs aint that friendly and sells used items too. If Im not mistaken, yea its Sri Comp.

Yup thank God for that!!

Ok what else, installed software includes Microsoft Works & Money, Sonic MyDVDPlus, shitload of HP Games (mostly PC version of PalmOS games ie Bejeweled, Insaniquarium etc), Norton Internet Security (60 days only ) & Powerpoint 2003 viewer only.

Partition D consists of the Recovery file about 8GB in size!! That's why transferring them to 2 DVDs to free up the space. Maklumlah 60GB only, I need every inch of HDD real estate I can get.

Oh ya got some light leakage akin to the Dell range. But bolehla.

jooku1, waiting for your review...........fast fast la.. open few hour + play game see got problem or not. share your's at here..

I am planing to getting one too!!!!!!


Wait for you!~~

got one question, is the mobo able to run ddr667 ram?
