Haha no regret in terms of gamming due to its powerful x1600 and its Ultra vivid bright screen even proud of it when talk about price... HAHA no one cheaper than me with these same spec.. hmmm bad part is may be the speaker for this model need some improvement. |

QUOTE(unknowndevices @ Jan 22 2007, 10:39 AM) ooo...that's a nice offer... 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.... anyway...how long can the battery last?...  so...you bought the highest specs is it?  what do you mean speaker need improvement?can't added any software to improve it?   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..  |

QUOTE(kanethesun @ Apr 12 2007, 01:46 PM) how this Joybook sound perform if compare to Compaq which using altec lansing? as strong as it as well? and clear? got crack sound? s73g sound performance really so so. as the speaker is attached with the lcd screen.. so u cannot expect them to give u bass or sth similar.. this is the main thing that i'm not really satisfy in s73g so use external speaker. but if u buy those with srs true surround one like T series or the best is P52... but i dont think i can see this model in malaysia. then may be it can compare with hp notebook |

QUOTE(nonadoes @ Apr 20 2007, 01:33 PM) anyone here have doubt on benq notebooks? it seems like benq doesnt have a good reputation. my frens also dont really recommend me this brand. but the price is quite attractive. anyone can comment? Depend bro. My friend and i get the notebook almost the same time. He get Toshiba A100.... sth with finger print one which cost him about RM5700. I get benq s73g which is about RM4100. So talking about the spec and price of course I'm a winner. Since I get X1600 and DVI output and he only got x1300. He said never mind, his one is "Branded", "Quality" for sure will be "Very" good and the "After sales" service is good also . Ok I've nothing to say. But time will tell.Ok now five months pass. Mine s73g perform well, His so call Quality notebook got white dots (sth like death pixles)  on his screen and he cannot play some of the game due to x1300 problem (Quality???). And he gave it to UK service centre and they changed him a screen with no bright view display. Just like normal LCD (Good after sales service??)  . So what is the point?BenQ is a new brand in notebook therefore they lower their price so more people can give it a try. This dosen't means that their thing is lousy, impossible they want to dig their own grave for their future notebook product. So as long as it is reasonable why don't give it a try? Ha hope this help.. so don't bombarded by those branded company. they sale more expensive because of their "brand" only. When dig out the hard disk inside it, it also stated Hitachi, same as my benq  .....This post has been edited by kelvinbongcn: Apr 20 2007, 08:03 PM |

One weird thing I read from twain articles. They try to compare the 8600GT in Asus notebook with the 8600GS in s41 by using windows vista (see 7th post in my attachment. But must know Chinese 明基= BenQ 華碩= Asus ) but surprisingly the mark that both laptop got is 5.9!!! they also don't know why. As GT suppose to be a lot higher than GS... so.... Vista full mark is 6!!!!!! (and that is only for 8800GTX!!!)
Oh..... so tempting |
