QUOTE(death_nite @ Aug 21 2007, 04:45 PM) serius ka? its hot? Serious. There's one story about some guy wanted to sue some company, because due to long hours usage, burned his balls. But, I guess he was doing something perverted, I mean who will put the laptop on the lap without any pants on?Other disadvantages with small size laptop, sure will have small screen size. So, don't expect to have very nice multimedia experience on tiny screens. Less USB ports, and might not have the option to get a dedicated graphics card. Take for instance the new Inspiron 1420, the only dedicated graphics is the 8400M, but no option for 8600 like the 1520. Why? because that thing will go so hot in such a compact size that it'll burned the stuff inside, and size is also a concern to fit that sucker in. |

QUOTE(death_nite @ Aug 21 2007, 05:50 PM) u own this F9S? Well, I don't own an F9S. But been using some thinner and smaller notebooks, so you can imagine if a 13-14 inch size notebook is so hot, what will a 12.1" be?Added on August 21, 2007, 6:00 pmFactors that cause a higher rate of heat: - Faster processor - a higher speed HDD (7200rpm produces more heat than 5400rpm) - dedicated graphics card - laptop bad ventilation design Take note: The notebook will produces even more heat, if you are using it on top of the bed, as fabric retain heat and the surface might block the ventilation holes. Go get a laptop cooler to prolong your notebook lifespan. This post has been edited by taneuhua: Aug 21 2007, 06:00 PM |

Wa with your story sure make Death_nite hold back to buy this Other disadvantages with small size laptop, sure will have small screen size.

But its good we can share our idea and discuss on.. For me i dont really prefer have dedicated card on a small lappy.. beside hot (making internal parts lifespan shorter) it a good batt sucker too.. But when it come to performance.. im sure this lappy can do good job! At least better then my Intel GMA X3100.. Cheers  |

Im not a gamer so dedicated card is no no for me on a ultraportable lappy  Cheers. This post has been edited by V3000: Aug 21 2007, 06:50 PM |

Sure this card is good (on a lappy this size) but if bro dont play game or do any heavy grapx stuff why bother get lappy with dedicated card on it?  Dedicated card = Hot and batt juice sucker.. im sure most of us here know bout this If your lappy mainly for Office work, mp3 and web surfing.. dedicated card is useless.. just make ur lappy hotter then others.

I think this Asus machine should be reasonable, since it is quite thick, unlike those Sony VAIO ones. Well, if you want to play games for longs hours, should really get a cooling pad for it. Otherwise, it should do fine.
Another true story, a friend played for long hours till the hard drive kaput. |

But the price is well over a hundred bucks. You should settle the ones in the midrange instead. roughly 50-70 should do the trick. Don't buy 20 bucks one, they are practically useless.Added on August 21, 2007, 7:15 pmEven better, free alternative would be putting ur notebook, with 2 books on the sides to lift up the unit. Then use normal house fans to blow  This post has been edited by taneuhua: Aug 21 2007, 07:15 PM |
