no wo.. is it really dangerous ? last time took to john .. john said tis 1 is normal wo.. i also dunno le..

since you are still on warranty and u can go to benq service center and ask for a diagnostic and checkup ..it is inside LYP also ..why not? John is the retailer but not the techinie ..so if u are still not satisfied with the temp try get it to Service Center ..

but if i not mistake ... the lappy should be warm right ..
coz last time he din mention how many degree to me ..
jz tell me is hot whn playing games ..
coz is standard mar ^ ^
if really still hot .. jz call benq shoot them .. n they will come to your house ^ ^

nvm hehe ..let the benq service center ppl handle it lo ..since got warranty ..after warranty already then nothing can do lo ..

haha ... right oso hor ... yeah .. jz call em up ...

Not dangerous la just always jump out from games or application only lo It is abnormal alr la with the temp u stated. May be ur room temp effect the temp lo. If possible pls purcase a suitable coolpad else install an air-con.

buy a fan for ur lappy lol .works welll

guys..my S73G oso got the same prob o..but i'm not as serious la..mine is when i shut down..the lappie juz stuck at "the windows is shutting down" blue page ther..hiahz..make me hv to restart lo..but this happen these few days lo..duno wad happen o..

Francis - My S73G goes up 67-68C at times too when playing games or whatever its mostly the graphic card that generates heat, as speedfan tells me my proc and hdd is not that warm (i can run lappie for 3 days without doing anything heavy like play games and my proc will remain 10-16C ) Normal temp is around 60-64C

However when I had 2x1gig kingston ram plugged in this baby's heat was nuts
67c overall temp doing nothing .
also due to ram incompability (so sez memtest at test 7) the laptop auto restarted and crashed alot
now using 2x512 nanya ram sticks that came with the lappie. its still warm but heh at least not overheating and stuff

better dont use kingston ram ..
coz not compatible .. with this model ...

then wat brand would u suggest?? cos i got myself a kingston darn i should check earlier... but so far no prob wit my 1G kingston 667

i got my benQ s73G yesterday after 2 weeks of deposit it

im interested with the s41, but what to do, RM700 difference between s73G and s41 means a lot to me.

anyway, im enjoying the lappie now...playing Command and conquer 3 : Tiberium Wars widescreen resolution and medium graphic setting.

welcome to the world of BenQ ..S73G hehe ..

hello there BenQ user, just want to know any R42/S31VW user here?
any major problem like heat? and hows the quality built?
my friend want to get 1 with max budget of 2.8k, was eye-ing on either R42/S31VW
any idea?

personally i prefer smaller sized lappie ..so i gonna vote for S31VW..llol..so far not much problems from this unit ..it is a chick magnet lol

for those benq laptop not coming with preloaded Os..(then i install an "ahem" os into it) what will happen if i press Qdata-Trove key?? will it recover back to linux os?? or i can set it to certain condition?

specs for S31VW seems nice yea
the only bad point I dont like is the CoreDuo only
but the rest, all better than mine

S41 more nice

Freedos linux lappy as i recall does not have Qdata-Trove .. if ur's happen to have it ..then NEVER do a full format to ur hdd .

S41 over price about RM1k a bro
will bring my friend go see around, see if he like the 13.3" of WHite or the 14.1" of black S31vw / R42 is his choice
