I FOUND A PROBLEM!!!

I just wanna point out one thing after i installed the camera driver from the CD. I can't shut down my computer or restart properly. I am using Window XP SP2.."special" version. I uninstalled the camera driver then everything is ok again. Everything else is cool... just maybe the battery life lor..

Running my S41 on top of a zalman cooling pad now... heh.

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
[attachmentid=255451]

3dmark05 - 4896
[attachmentid=255452]

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

I quite like the LCD... Nice, bright but i could do without the reflectiveness which is madness because the windows is right behind me and i have to keep the curtains closed.

Speakers - What'd you expect? Thses are only 1.5W LAPTOP speakers. Can't compare to my 280W Logitech Z5300 5.1 system which i've plugged into the headphone port. LOL!

Touchpad - The touchpad is annoying especially when you forget to turn it off while gaming. Wish it was more towards the centre.

BenQ Software - Only software i have installed is the camera, SRS Surround and Nero. Not bothered with the rest.

Speed - To me, if benq allowed proc upgrades... coupling this with a T7300 would do very nicely. More than enough if you ask me... too bad it's only the T7100.

if they say no OS.. means need install our own windows in it..? juz run the cd when start the laptop izzit..? kinda noob in this kind of stuff..

yeah...just run the OS cd. However, i suggest you be careful when installing OEM software because once it's installed that's it. You won't be able to simply change the hardware once the software is in.

OEm software works with the hardware that is present the first time in the laptop.
