does the s73g come with vista home premium installed? and the 1gb of ram is it 2x512mb or 1x1024mb? i would wait for the s73v but i heard its only coming out at the end of the month and i'm most probably gonna buy a new laptop either today or tmr... its between this and dell 6400

edit: also is the processor a core duo or a core 2 duo?? haha sorry for all the questions but its urgent! thanks all

i pulled the trigger today and bought a s73. specs:

c2d t5500
2GB 667Mhz DDR2 Kingston RAM
ati radeon x1600
windows vista home premium
free 2GB Kingston thumb drive
free laptop bag
2 free optical mouse

All for rm4450. What do you think? Good price or not?

i bought at low yat at this shop called wawasan computer system on 2nd floor lot 2.113A & 2.115.

the salesman there say i'm the first person to buy this from them with vista so just in case y'all are wondering vista is running damn smooth with these specs. haven't once experience any lag yet and aero looks great. there's no lag with flip 3d even with 6 windows open. don have any driver problems just that i haven't installed any of the benq programs (eg. qmedia center) so the remote is kinda useless now. vista experience score of 4.3 cuz of graphics card.

anybody know how i can use the benq remote control in windows media centre? the up down left right and ok buttons workbut the volume and the play pause stop buttons dont

can someone do me a favor and check wat brand the in-built mic on the s73g is please? vista doesn't even recognize it and i'm having trouble looking for drivers without knowing the brand

hey man, the 2 devices should be the infrared and the card reader. i had the same problem as you and had to do some searching till i found the benq europe site with the right drivers. since i'm nice, here's the link:

also csan you do me a favour and tell me if your microphone is working?

hey guys, ive been using the s73g for a few months but the fan has become annoyingly loud. even when just start up it starts making a loud noise. its like a constant whirring sound... very noticeable in a quiet place like a library. any advice on how to fix?

mine is out of warranty already. probably dusty la.... i think have to open up and clean. is it easy to open up? scared i break the hard drive or something
