But it appears that there's only one seller lurking around and it looks more like a sales thread to me.

IMHO, there's nothing much to discuss about the price. The RRP is RM3999 and that's about it. What else, the CC charges?

And you implied that I was wrong in pointing out that this thread has turned into a sales thread? I mean, asking questions about how to buy? Seriously, these things are sales questions.

Previously you pointed out that John is just giving advise and not begging people to buy. It's people's choice whether they wish to buy from John or not. And once in a while he encourage people to buy. Well, I've been to so many shops everywhere and never seen anyone begging to ask me buy from them, yes, because they are sellers they encourage me to buy, and those places are called shops. This place is not a shopping complex, nor is it a shop where you purchase stuff. To do that, there's the Sales Section.

Clearly that with the banning, he was taking orders here, that somewhat turn it into a sales thread.

Sure, I know he's a seller, there are a few sellers around here as well. It's perfectly fine for him to post stuff regarding how the thing works, where to buy, and stuff like that, perfectly fine, nobody is going to refute that.

It's the part of encouraging people to buy that is wrong IMHO. You said we can all regard it as being spamming, but that is stepping into the line of starting the sales thread. By promoting himself, he can be regarded as trying to sell stuff. Piece of advise, tell this to John, stop promoting himself, stop encouraging people to buy etc. etc, anything other than that, I doubt he's going to get into trouble.

And that's my say about this topic, I rest my case.

To avoid OT, there are benchmarks of the Zepto with a 8600M GT outhere, but yeah, the BenQ is using a 8600M GS so the performance, as I read from various sources, says it's going to be a little bit better than the x1700/7700.

As to the BenQ CS, I don't know how far as they progressed. Back in the end of 2006 2005, my friend bought a BenQ laptop, had a problem with it, bring the thing all over Lowyat Plaza asking for someone to fix it, and everyone refused. Hopefully this kind of thing can be avoided with that service center in LYP.

What do you mean by "normal" LCD screen? Do you mean a matte screen. If that is the case, get it replaced with the glossy one, Toshiba is short changing your friend if your friend gets a matte screen.

Nope, the replacement for the dv9000t is the dv9500t with a 8600GS.

But that Dragon laptop looks really nice, should be in the class of the XPS M2010

Sorry John, bad news perhaps to some, Dell with an 8600MGT can be get within 4k, looks like more competition for the s41 now

Not that I want to crash the party or anything, but here it goes the Inspiron 1520 comes with 8600M GT 256MB DDR3. Honestly I don't wish to spoil your party, there's already a thread around here talking about it. Just that I wish to inform you there's gonna be competition from Dell. That's all

OK....i know it's my fault promoting the other company in BenQ thread

But now.....give me review of S41, give pictures, not thumbnails, pictures, post it, then post it quick!!!!!!!Pictarssss!!!

OEM license are for system builders only. And i read it somewhere that it's illegal for us to get it. But I do not wish to discuss further about the legality issue.

Hardware changes are normally allowed in terms of the RAM, HDD etc. But where it comes to motherboard, once you change it, windows will detect it as a computer change and you will not be able to activate it online. You'll have to do so through phone and state your reason. There's a limit on how many times you can "change" your computer IMHO.

I think this will help and googling on "oem windows copy" will enlighten you more.

Sorry my England not so good, but why is it that it's impossible to include the OS with the S41?

I don't know in what way do you rate the laptop. But laptop audio surely won't be better for most laptops anyway
But according what you say, everything else is average apart from the audio and you are complaining that overall, unsatisfactory? Gaming, so so, you well duh, with the 8600M GS in there, it's not the best out there is it?



Nah, I was being sarcastic. Because the way the poster said that how OS is "impossible" to be bundled due to Santa Rosa + 8600M GS. The sentence didn't made any sense to me. The way jeremy0 explained however, did make sense on the 4k pricing. But BenQ is no big fan of bundling OSes in their laptops anyways.

I think he meant, "I already have a Benq Laptop, will you shut the **** up" lolz

Methinks that guy is desperate to meet his sales target.
