Hi michaelyii1988, if you are using Nero, check the options. There is a folder that specifies where files are to be copied before burning to DVD.

Make sure the drive specified in that path has enough space (depending on how much you are burning into DVD e.g. if full DVD, 4.7gb must be free).

here is the prob

Hi all,
just got my s73g last week and managed to test it using 3dmark05 (using 1024x768, no AA)

3dmark05 = 3801 (3games + 2cpu test)
3808 (3games only)

specs are : C2D 1.6, 1G 533 DDR2 RAM, 100G HDD, standard clock X1600.

BTW, can anyone share what's d max possible OC for X1600???

Erm, like in my siggy, da furthest I've pushed is 470Mhz for gpu and 450Mhz for memory. If higher it will become unstable or artifacts will occur.

will try n share d result soon...

Wondering if s73g will be cheaper at pc fair? and uhm, anyone mind to tell me when is the exact date for pc fair?

Hi, the KL & Kuantan PCFair 2007 will be on 13 - 15th April 2007. I believe price for the s73g is dropping from some of the comments posted by some of the new owners of s73g.

The pc-fair is 1st hell in penang state this year. cool I will go to grab a laptop there this year. I ll post the s73g pc fair price once i saw it.

Can anyone advice me why whenever my notebook go to standby mode when I touched any key the screen still in black/no screen?

tks

Do you set to shut down ur HD after xx minutes? If yes pls disable this. For standby mode, u may press "enter" to resume ur windows.

hihie,

just wondering what brand & model RAM is best for BenQ S73G ??? plan to do some upgrades.

Thanks

I disable already the HDD shutdown mode. Try pressing enter from Amber light turn blue but still black screen.

guys..do u have any software or program that can detect external HDD temperature kah?coz mine seems v.hot,n yet duno normal or not lo..besides,my casing is closed de wor,cheap de lo.no internal fan de,not even a tiny hole on it.is it tats y make my HDD super HOT?

any user of t31 can giv me some review of this laptop
cos i found out it's worth cos it's so small
the graphic card is shared memory or?

Yea.. me too... plan to upgrade from current 1G 533 to 2G 667.... found corsair bit cheaper than kingston... but did corsair still "prefered choice'?? n os hard to find corsair here in KK.... any otai could help ka???

I'm an owner of Joybook S53W . 1 thing I dun like abt the laptop is the sound quality tat the speaker made. The SRS only nice when have an external sound system. No problem with playing games, DVDs, and others.
The worst thing that ever happened was when my laptop's LAN connection not working properly (couldn't detect or sumthing) and I send to 2 the retailer. They couldn't fix the problem and they sent it to KL to check the problem. After a month, they still couldn't find out the problem and they wanted to sent my laptop to Taiwan... this is so... sweat: However, on that time, Taiwan got earthquake which causes the internet connection down. So, they send my laptop to Penang (to the manufacturer) and they change the whole motherboard and stuff like that. After 2 months of waiting, I finally get back my laptop. BenQ made the laptops and sumthing wrong with the laptop they can't even fix that problem?

someone pm me about t31, so i'll post it here to.

overall i'm pretty happy with it.
but nothing is perfect.

what i don't like about it.
the glossy screen hurt my eyes, any brand with it hurt my eyes ;p
the speaker is pure evil, better get earphones, i'm not expecting anything but could've been better.
the screen built is kinda flimsy. put some pressure on it and the surface bends a little. meaning, you don't wanna stck thing on the notebook, give a punch, and drop it.
my lcd got a stuck pixel, which wan't visible when i tested it out. and benq policy is its not considered as a defect. you need to get a lot more stuck pixel. its fixable by a software, but didn't work for me, yet.
jsceenfix is the tool.
runs pretty cool when idle and small task such as web surfing, office.
get into gaming it'll burn ya, nah, but kinda hot. but except for the insulated thinkpad, every notebook does that.
my sister's dell latitude c2d t7200 runs hotter idling, didn't test in full load.
the fan isn't loud, not annoying loud. acceptable. during gaming? too busy to notice
and the most evil, is when my sister bring home an infected thumb drive, damn her friends are a virus-brewing-pot. and whe said they have antivirus, well, the next step woulde've been, USE IT.

it looks good. in black. white is plastic.
why i didn't get a twinhead? my sister said its too small, accountant use excel, and any smaller will blind you, its raelly her notebook, i'm just the consultant. and the paint will get worn in time, as i saw in a user posted image. t31 is kinda those coloured pallet kind of plastic, rather than paint.
it does feel plasticky, but bleh, good enough.
it does looks good, and feels good to. the touchpad is responsive, and the button button needs a small click, unlike compaq v3000 which is deep, its crap.keyboard is kinda good, not as good as a real keyboard, but good.


gaming?
i've only tried wolfenstein enemy territory, don't know how to run widescreen yet, but at 1024x768 with settings to high i can get 50fps max.
it'll only get a slowdown when there's a crap lot of artillery and air strike at once, briefly. very playable. this is quake3 engine mind that. halo 1 runs pretty smooth at 800x600. this is with 128MB shared video ram dual channel 1GB ram

i only got 2-2.5hours of battery with idling and light work.
with full battery, playing wolfET alittle bit, 50minutes at 80%.

why i didn't get c2d base system, which i'm glad i didn't, gma950 kinda suck. from the test on the dell latitude. despite being dx9, it doesn't run videos in vmr9 properly, this is with coreavc and ffdshow. the chroma kinda b0rked, so i run it in overlaymixer, simple xvid avi got stuck in the first frame. mplayerc crashed. so only vmr7 worked. this is not an extensive test. but the setup works on my t31 and desktop. i blame gma
dedicated is out of budget, but if you want to go for core duo, achievable, light weight? no.

i really did my homework before buying, all 3 months of it. and came to conclude with benq, the condition, which is, cheap, light, small, and got power

when you buy check your ram speeds, i only got 533, bleh, 667 would've been better, its the same price.
check for dead and stuck pixel, stuck pixel is visible under dark/black screen. dead visible in white.

get 1GB of ram, will extend your battery life. the logic is, when you turn of your paging file, the hdd won't get accessed everytime you do something. and hdd is a TNB eater rather than ram. and you're gonna get a better, faster experience.

you can get s31 with core duo for RM2999.

finally. i think its a good buy. no regrets, exceptfor the missed stuck pixel and 533 ram.

oh, and i heard twinhead had kinda bad after sales support, but i'm not saying benq is avy better, cause i really don't know, yet


mine is not a review, but what i think of it ;p
its not that small same width as a 15" xga.
it uses intergrated graphics, meaning shared, max is 256MB, really 128 is enough the bottleneck is there, 256MB would give a miniscule boost if any.

for IGP its the best now, don't know about intel x3000, but that propably release in june? nvidia6150 is good to. gma950, bleh.

haven't benchmark yet, too lazy.

koatcha >_<

if all yo do is surf the web and do office work, you might want to consider sempron system. if in taiwan t31 does come with a sempron. you might get a cooler system, my desktop runs a sempron and it max out at 35C idles at 24-28C. the turion x2 idles at ~40C and on fire when maxed out
dunnno about celeron.
sempron system would be twinheaed and fujitsu's 15incher. cheap too.

really, reading manga with x2 is overkill.
you might want it if you encode video, does 3d apps, gimp, mathematical research. folding.

what you need is ram.
