haha... bought one directly from john_jay2 at his shop at lowyat.

From what i say after 2 days of use, this baby of mine is superb..... no prob whatsoever, i even upgraded the ram to 2GB on the spot. haha.

this monday, gonna get myself xp disc and make dual-boot. hope the driver john gave me works!

p/s - john, i thought this model come with 8600GT, but why is it only 8600GS?

It always came with a 600GS. Read the specifications page carefully in the website or the first post of this thread.

I only charged mine for about 6-7 hours... Won't make a difference if it is charged 8 full hours because it's designed to stop charging once the battery is within 95-99% of it's full capacity, which happens to be around 6-7hours. smile.gif

Hi guys, I'm one of the new owner of S41 bought from john yesterday ^^.

First i'll review the salesperson--Mr. John. Nice guy, better than those in other shop who acted LCLY and treat customers like idiot. However, it will make me happier if there is more free gift lolz!

Next I'll do some short review on s41,

Temperature - Medium hot. After some usage, the temp on left hand side will be quite hot. The adapter is extremely hot but it's normal.

Speed - It's still consider so so for me. Able to do some multitasking wif 2 gb of ram without much lagging. BUT lagging and slow respond are still exist. However, it's definitely more responsive than single core processor. (Graphic review is below)

Design - Ermm it's normal when u c the outlook. Especially the pattern they put on the cover is not visible so u might think it's black color. But when u open the laptop, everything inside is very nice ^^

Ergonomic - I hate the touch pad, it looks cool but it's located abit to the left which leads mis-touching when i'm typing. And i hate the way benq design the WLAN and bluetooth switch, when WLAN on it's blue, when it's bluetooth on it's amber, when it's both on it's purple, the color is so hard to recognize. And the ports and dvd rom location are extremely bad for me since i'm placing the laptop at the right edge of my desk.

Benq's software - I installed only Qpower and Qhotkey which is very important for me. Qpower is not 100% compatible somehow, it's like it couldn't locate the address of the hotkey, everything is fine except it can't change the display brightness itself. While Qhotkey is lack of many functions unlike acer which has next, previous, play, stop, pause, turn off lcd.

LCD - Nice and very nice. Extremely bright, i can live forever even wif the darkest display.

Speaker - Loud but lack of bass. Forget about wat benq said about the SRS. Use the speaker only when u dun have external speaker wif u.

Battery - Not yet test

Last but not least Graphic Card - Dunno y it couldn't run 3dmark06 . error: invalid bitmap file. Maybe it's my win xp problem.

3dmark03 - 7899
Attached Image

3dmark05 - 4896

ermm, honestly john, ur free gift is abit lame... lolz... *peace*
