What a cheap price!!!!!!!!!!
Come with core duo or c2d?

core duo..

Oic..How about c2d price now? Y dont take the c2d cause core duo seem not so match with the high end dedicated gc here. Even some forumer said this lappy should be match with higher C2D model processor .

i dont know whether they have a c2d version... all their brouchers and in their website were stated core duo... i'll check it out again later at the end of the weekend... i might consider to take c2d one...

i have been through this...my budget the max is rm4k....i have been targeting S73G for a long time.....R55 always over my budget... but, when the time i decided to go for S73G (last saturday), i suddenly found out R55 can get below rm4k... considering i'm not too much into gaming...as long as i can play some new games with a medium quality, it's fine with me... what's important i can get a bigger screen 15.4"... so I decided to buy R55... my number three choice was Toshiba A100-2012 at rm3940...number 4 was Asus A8Jn...

battery life is not the best available... only around 2.5 hours only... maybe considering to buy 9 cells battery..

S73G got core 2 duo version..

better get c2d.. i think the price for c2d around rm3.9k to rm4k...

S73G cot c2d? gooooood

i also thinkin to get R55, but R55 dosent have DVI output... I wanna connect my notebook to my HDTV...that the reason im keen to S73G...

Asus A8J series is also under consideration.... the only thing that hasitate me to get A8Jseries is the price... S73G seems more tempt...

anyway cant wait for the purchase

DVI out ..i'm not sure..but R55 does have S-Video out jack & VGA port.. i already tried both to my 17" crt monitor and television...its working perfectly ! hehe..

he-sham: i checked last weekend, R55 dosent have DVI output... i know with R55's geforce 7400 output can be good... but vga=analouge=data loss... hehehe, pardon my ignorance, im a HD freak...

BenQ notebook that have DVI output is only S73G... theres a lot of ASUS have DVI.. but keen on price...

Well, can u tell me more about ur R55? hows the performance? etc etc... who knows, u might change my mind...

hey put me in da list too!! ^^ Well if only R55 haf x1600 then dam good d!

i jz wan to ask the benq s73g. wat is the best price nw at lowyat?? is it bundled wif ori windows xp os or jz wif linux??? i am frm jhr cant go to do the survey there.

priced around RM4.2K...if not mistaken bundle with Linux...
try to check with williamngwl...

The price when I bought s73g was 4.3k with 2gig ram. I believe the price would have dropped by now. It is bundled with Linpus Linux.

a happy s73g user here

so far only annoyed with the battery life and maybe a little on the heat issues...

overall I'm still glad I got this lappie

i got it about 5 months ago with about rm 3899 & 1x1024 ram (not bad la at that time). everything works perfect. just one thing.. my speaker....
Dont know is my problem only or what...
the sound seems a bit sharp, unpleasant tone heard when playing music... although not consider as break sound but not nice...
ha no chance to get it change in Malaysia anymore but will try the service center in uk.

So those who wish to buy ths model remember to confirm it's speaker quality. i know benq joybook products easy to got this and keyboard problems. the rest i think not bad than those so call famous brand , especially in terms of software and lcd screen.. but with super low price... so it's really worth to get benq product provided u know its minor flaw... (like i use external keyboard usually rather using it's own keyboard.)
I know these cause i got one relative working in BenQ service center..

DVI output just can be found in high end dedicate GC. X1600 did.

last weekend i checked the BenQ staff said 3599 with win xp home, 512MB ram for S73G.. they have a promotions now...

thanks to the S73G user that gave the inputs, appreciate that... more are welcome...

Hi kelvinbongcn, I dun use the speakers much but you might be right. The sound quality of the speakers is not too great. I would usually use headphones to listen to music or games. As for the keyboard, some keys might be bothersome. I don't know how they built it but itz not all perfect.

well...i not really test my R55 performance yet becoz i'm quite busy to play games & try it to the max...i just leave it idle for 24 hours to test the system stability...no problem except for initially i forgot to change turn off harddisk after 30 minutes of idle(in power saving mode)...so I restarted the system and set the power saving mode of never turn off harddisk...it hibernate well and fast come back to windows when needed....no heat issue so far even my room isn't air conditioning...

yaa...x1600 on s73g really high end gc... go7400 only mid end...it only manage half of 3dmark2005 compared to x1600 3dmark2005 ...... but i love r55 15.4" screen...hehe...
