rm3989 at all it lowyat plaza...
comes with bag and mouse...
comes with original Windows XP Home edition..

plus 1 year benq warranty pick up service !

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...

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..

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...

no tv tuner for benq s73g malaysia version...but it still include remote control !! huhu....very useful accessory...

16 mili seconds screen response feature is available on R55..world fastest response time for notebook.. what i can tell u, the LCD display is supreme & awesome....many of my friends impress with its display view..


yeah....x1300 on s73g good for hardcore gamers... but lite gamer & more doing office job such as typing and AUTO Cad, better go for R55, for bigger view... go7400 is not a bad graphic card anyway....but i haven't realish its potential yet coz busy doing project paper or some college works...hehe

i dont think got R55V and S73V becoz the specs look like the same to S73G and R55... i think it's just wrong information by the newspaper..( i think it's Kosmo tabloid)...

yeah..finally find out that *V is for Vista....so the only difference is R55V or S73V come with windows vista instead of windows XP home...

other specs still the same...hehe...

no la...bz with my college works...
games i'm currenty playing are football manager 2007 (which dont need superior graphic) and pro evolution soccer 6... PES6 ran smoothly on high setting & highest resolution....i might install NFS carbon in meantime... i'm unlikely to install other games like FEAR & etc..becoz i'm not really a gamer after all...

are u sure R55 using x1150 ??...

u plan to buy laptop to play carbon only aaa ??...if like that buy no need la....just buy compaq v3164, PS2 & a small tv...haha..all for rm 3.5K...

huhu...maybe it used non ori CD of NFS carbon..huhu...

This post has been edited by he-sham: Feb 4 2007, 11:01 PM

rm3.5k maybe core duo version...

c2d version for sure not less than rm3900...

quad core surely will rocket its price to at least rm5k...

but i still think benq will produce th best value for mobile computing...

what model did u buy ? let me guess... S73G (core2duo) without OS.... btw, welcome to the club

michaelyii1988 & kashchan...

welcome to da club...

wonder how much R55/V sellling now...

quite a while not going to lowyat...

difference between r55 and s73 only its graphic card, screen size, design and significantly, the price...R55 is the most expensive joybook in the market right now...but, i think s73 is more value for money becoz of its graphic card...those who need mobility also should go for s73 becoz r55 offers more premium display with its 15.4" size & 16ms response screen and obviously heavier than s73...

i'm still cant install nfsc...i wonder there's problem with my ciplak nfsc DVD.....still with DirectX error....too busy with my works and dont actually have time to buy new one... but i already install FM2007, PES6 and NFSMW black edition...all run smoothly...

so who'll be next to my name in R55 list ??...huhu...

but just now i manage to borrow another NFSC DVD from my friend...still in installing process...

------------------

succesfully installed NFSCarbon...tried with high setting with high resolution...hohoh...a bit lagging...

then adjusted to high setting with medium resolution, it run smoothly ~~
..to play it smoothly, one must with medium setting, either details or resolution....huhu...

one more thing.. GPU temp just after exit the game was at 59 degree celcius in non air cond room....
