i heard even the 7200RPM version HDD is selective, it means if it runs on power plug, it uses 7200RPM, then if it uses battery, it slows down to 5400rpm....

but if not, if they use 7200rpm all the time, how about the battery life?

wow got such thing? then it'll be great for laptop, but sadly it's not in malaysian version s41 ^^

hopefully benq laptop can't even read it's own driver disc, then we definitely can complain and ask them to change lolz!

Anyway, how much is the spare battery cost? and is there compatible 9 cell or higher capacity battery out there for s41?

Yeah, but no stock lar...

Means the laptop selling like hot cakes... hot cakes also not so good business...

Anyway, hope that John can help me get one. My current Benq S72 is freaking out liao... Auto shut off when the multitasking... Open illustrator cannot use photoshop... games also cannot play liao. Become type writer better...

Anyway, I'm glad you guys made the right choice on this unit, cos despite being relatively unknown and not so good marketing campaign for Benq, compred to other brands, my S72 has served me very well. Maybe cos Benq dun spend so much on marketing that why they let the end users enjoy the lower prices. Unlike Sony which does mega marketing campaign, and the customer have to bear the cost!

Have a nice weekend everybody! Pray for stock for me!

Definately is not heat issue. I suspect it may eitehr be mother board or ram. How it happen is you just do work half way then suddenly everything will go blank. No chance to save or error message.

I went to the shop where I bought the RAM from (i recently trade in my 512 for a 1GB) and they say they can check for me, but I need to give them the RAM. But if I no RAM how to use Laptop...? So tak jadi.

The idea is to get the S41, and get the S72 repaired, and like all lousy boyfriends, give it to the girlfriend to use...

The issue was so bad that the other day when I tried to reformat my laptop, it can't even go past the stage where you need to press F8 when installing Win XP. Once reach there will go blank liao.

seems like many s72 user having this problem, they said it's kingston ram problem, have to try another brand. My fren's s72 also having the same problem like urs and it get fixed by changing the ram to kingmax tongue.gif

Well we can't really change to single core manually, it is done automatically. Anyway read this article you should have idea how to make your OS increase the batt usage. You can actually use single core on specified program. Just go task Manager>Processes>look for pogram like winamp> Right click Set affinity>Untick on cpu0 or cpu1.

you can't
Nothing you can do.
you can make it smoother but if you have 2GB ram then you are all max out.
You can uninstalled any bloatware and always do maintaince but there is nothing more you can do.

ermm wat do u mean by if i have 2gb ram i can all max out? I got 2gb ram in my lappy wor... how? I was thinking about closing the sec cpu when using battery for all user process, is it going to be helpful?

They are saying that more ram then you don't have to swap files too often, which make your hdd spin lesser. Spin lesser mean less energy consumption. Set affinity is done on program running like winamp, Media Players and not to your system, It does not really turn off the other Core but make it idle and the bios will automatically help to reduce some power. But really if you want to push the batt usage you have to set it .

My Acer installed Windows XP stated 3.4 hours. Of course my Acer is 8 cells. So any feedback regarding this?

oooo.... but still the setting is not efficient for me tongue.gif

the price shouldnt be big diff lar....since the price oledi very good liao....

FYI , Malaysia New Model will be S41-H

T7300 , 2.0GHz , 4MB L2 Cache , 800 MHz
1GB DDR2 , 160GB HDD , Vista Home Premium
other will remain the same ..

Recommended Selling Price is RM 4499.00 ^ ^
the picture plz refer to the front page ^ ^
*
the graphic still the same? thank god..... if not i will go jump KLCC..... anyway, guys i made an interesting test but not sure u guys tried it b4. It juz a simple RAM stress since i got myself a s41 wif 2gb ram.

Attached Image


Program opened:
1. Firefox wif 10++ tabs, every tabs is loading images
2. 15++ IE
3. Visual Studo 2005
4. Adobe Photoshop
5. Adobe Illustrator
6. Adobe Image Ready
7. Macromedia Flash (wif my project inside)
8. Macromedia Dreamweaver
10. Command and Conquer 3 Tiberium War (playing 7 cpu, 1 player)
11. Google Earth (this one is the ram eater)
12. and etc...

if i'm not missed out..... so the best i can get is 2gb ram left 18mb ram, after that the system automatically release some ram and locate them to virtual memory. So i think it is possible to make the pc blue screen once it finishes the virtual memory.

Everything is still responsive, though switching back to c&c 3 is slow but still playable. rclxms.gif rclxms.gif thumbup.gif thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

Hi guys,

I downloaded and installed this software.

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=en

Supposely with it you can program the multimedia buttons. I managed to program the surround button, but can seem to get the qshot button to work...

Maybe you guys want to try it out.
