Ya, there is an IC behind the benQ word. my laptop warranty already over, that's why i dare to operate myself.. haha.. and that 3 inch long IC provides the backlight of our LCD screen.

The tv tuner is hdtv one and no point to get it since no hdtv at all in malaysia.

better than HK to disable it ..

Microsoft just send me the deal if buy the vista ultimate retail can get the kingston 2gb flash drive(ready boost feature) + artec hdtv tuner + dlink wifi pocket router+ Epson picturemate pal printer for free as bonus pack for it's vista ultimate. Crazy offer

I think Singapore also disable it.

Sucker is 400USD, so it is quite expansive. 
At the launch day, HK MS offer vista for HKD699 only which is RM350. Even got uncle Bill signature on it 
Too big of a price difference, so just forget about it.

RTM1 and RTM2 got testing their channel with HDTV DVB-T from what i heard long ago..

Yes, most company just buy OEM.
Normally university are those who bought open license. They have education discount anyway so it won't hurt them much.

i dunno.i have nt heard any feedback regarding the HDTV channels.

waa, john got so many free time ^^

no problem i think private tv like Astro would most likely implement it ..lol

BenQ S31V (black colour) and S31VW (white colour) is finally available in msian ..lol. ..

Wow I am so surprised that they are so many happy Benq Joybook users. 

Actually I am looking forward to replace my ancient Dell Inspiron 600m to Benq Joybook S73G coz the stupid notebook cannot play World of Warcraft too long, otherwise the BIOS will reduce the CPU power from 1.5GHz to 599MHz and everything turns to be in slow-mo. But my Dell lappy has serve me for 3 years without giving me problems other than WoWing. Hehehe. 

My biggest concern is that Benq Corp is going to spinoff. Do they still carry Benq brand in the future? And how about the future Beng products development? Coz I don't want to get the new Benq lappy and after that Benq brand vanished into the air. Please advice or comments. Thank you so much. 

no worries ..BenQ has been in business quite a while now and BenQ juz had been contracted by Lenovo ( formally known as IBM) to manufacture notebooks and computer parts for Lenovo ..so in the mean time after you hav brought ur BenQ lappy i dun think it will spinoff in the mean time ..lol

Acer, BenQ and Asus are main suppliers of lappy and pc in Mainland China and Taiwan ..they are leading there ..

yup, S73G ? with the 100gig hdd ? DVD write ? Ati X1600 ? 2gig ram ? hehe ... all you can dream of a nice lappy ..

waiting for you to join the club and get a Joybook = Happy wit a notebook ..lol
yaya ..but  dun think they gonna change the gpu or dvd writer or ram ...coz santa rosa also use D2C ..

4k is ok ma ..coz when S73G came out ..freedos also is 3799.. so if change to Santa Rosa and new chipset ..the price can go up to 4k ...and also considering the Vista package ..4k plus ..lol

just like how Acer does .. Freedos version and Preloaded OS version is a good idea ..

my benq also comes wit a Linux cd too ..lol .. usually Freedos means Linux coz linux uses Dos platform ..

erm,,guys ..i want to as pro here how to jaga our batt's life.is it dun use it n juz use de ac power?or sumtimes use it a while?coz my roomate say better use it once a while o..got say like tat kah??

i hav no idea also .. was wondering coz onli benq got ..

That is for the spdif, you can turn it off if you like. I turn mine off since didn't use that.

Benq is not goin to support vista for older models.But im determined to find the drivers for my t31.so far i have issues with my card reader and this thing called 1394 net adapter.cant seem to find the drivers for these.i know they're manufactured by texas instruments though..anyone can help me out?

Try to find the vista driver from europe or taiwan benq website instead of the malaysia one
