So far so good???

so far ok lar ^ ^

why so cheap?

Then you should go ask Sony, "Why so expensive?"

Why so many why? Just rush to get it!!!

so far damn good

the layout of all the ports like usb ports and card reader are spread evenly
to the left and right of the laptop,

no ports behind the laptop at all

the design is really good

Has benq been taken over by acer, something like a subsidiary??

no such things ^ ^

i havnt install any games yet.. the onli game i play on pc is condition zero.. later maybe ill install c&c3..

plz let us know once u try the games out ^ ^ thx ...

Guys...gimme me a list of software to test out on the S41. WIll do it after i get the laptop tomorrow morning.

So far:

3DMark06
Prime95(don't think it's a good idea though)

What else?

the 1 gig ram is 1x1gig or 2x512?

using vista, came play 'ahem' games?

hi guys, i got the lappy from john on wednesday......and met up with ikeda too.
sry for posting late coz went outstation today, just reach home.

now online using S41.

Allow me to do a quick review on the lappy

So far everything is okay with the lappy, the keypads are well designed, medium size (not like other lappy, the size of each keys is quite small).

The processor is ultra silent. even u load with a high memory application.

Though there is a slightly problem if u r using under xp. Problem with graphic card driver and the WLan driver. Anyway it solve now.....if u r using the lappy with vista, everything's work fine i believe since provided with vista driver cd.

Plus, i tested the lappy with Warcraft III. For the first time, around 30 mins, lappy restart (this is due to the graphic card driver). After reinstall the graphic driver, it works fine. Im using 1024 x 768 32 bits for the Warcraft III game setting, and it run smooth.

I tried on the 1.3MB webcam, pretty cool when use with the application given.

As for the sound quality, don't expect too much, but for me, it is on the level of good quality, loud and clear.

Hope the review can give a better view of S41 for those who look forward to get this lappy.

Cheers!!!!!!!!!!

1 X 1GB ^ ^

Haha, since kamigawa did a review already, here's a boring one from me.

---

Graphic: Excellent, ran highest settings for Heroes V, Civilization IV, Medieval 2 Total War, and the results are what I expected. Though M2TW was rather a bit laggy with all highest, changing it to high resulted still bloody cool graphic and no more lag. Will try CnC3 once I changed my 'ahem' copy (can't be read...). 9/10

Sound: Wonderful? LoL, it's much nicer than some cracked speakers I have in my old laptop. It's crispy crisp, bleeding sharp, and feather soft to me. Blasted What I've Done (LP), it is what I call 7/10, can't beat good speakers yet but still just great for a laptop speaker.

Design: Front laptop skin, with the small circles are rather a bit oldish to me, but it's acceptable (plus skins are available either way - LYN and ol' John have some in hands). Dark shiny and metallic look for the inside. Ports and such are fine, all at the sides, nothing in the back. BUT, felt that it could be much nicer if they only include a buckle / lock to the laptop. I'm used to closing the laptop and pressing some button to open it up, but S41 just open and close without any clip-on or buckle. 7/10 (I like to close it properly, for those who don't care to buckle it, take a 8/10).

Misc: Heat are acceptable for the process speed, keys are a bit awkward (I'm used to Dell keys), processing are fast, the DVD reader/burner is annoying (by far, the only thing I dislike - it's not reading every DVD I put in, and yes, some are 'ahem' copies but after testing, its readable through other DVD readers), light-weight IMO, and the web cam is cool, haha, even my ugly face looks good through it


IN SHORT: I don't regret getting it, and John has provided good services so far, so if anyone would ask me - yes, go find John for your laptop.

Time to head back to my M2TW Cia0z.


Ps: Here are pics of M2TW on just high settings (actually looks better in game, got toned down for hosting).
