Hehe! if you got the $ nothing is "Too High-End" but hope bro u remember this is 12.1" lappy smile.gif
-Dont forget the heat that the Proc and the Gpu generate.. Im sure alot ppl happy with fast machine but the heat that this small machine generate sure minus the happiness... tongue.gif

For me if no SSD, XP is alot more better then Vista in a lappy.. No matter how fast our proc can reach we still gettin stuck midway by our mighty 5400rpm HDD tongue.gif

oh... you remind me about the toshiba that i had last time... i almost can boil water that time lol... sweat.gif

so is there anything negative about the heat that it generate? shocking.gif

hm, using the T7300, so far i haven't fully test it. just now try to run & play Ghost Recon AW 2. doh.gif feels like the system carrying a big stone on the back. even when i put it on 800x600 resolution. a bit dissappointed becoz i'm hoping this GFGo 8400 could perform better, some more my RAM already 2GB. but the thing is he graphic card only running with 128MB. may be that's the cause. even better when i play the game(GRAW2) on my pc, using GForce7600-256Mb with only 512MB of system Ram whistling.gif

Oh... about the processor i was also shock when i 1st saw 7500 in F9S,
well yeah there is 7500 processor (2.2G) and i am getting 1 soon next week, thats y i am here asking around if it is good not.

black pen i thought the Grafic card with turbo cache?? i once read that 8400 it is with around 300+ turbo cache, still performing yuck?

as i know 128 is not as nice.... 3Dmemory is also one thing. Hopefully i can play Starcraf 2

black pen, what the price that u get for ur F9s?? and what kind of fan that u are using? i mean is it a rm 100++ fan? or lol rm 18 fan?

anyone tried 4G of RAM on the F9S yet?

does it have turbo cache for the graphics card? How much turbo cache does it allow? up to 1G or 512MB?

anyone tried World Of Warcraft on this machine? Enough juice in the F9S to run the MMORPG?

the simcard slot is there but not the chipset controlling it. just like Dell Latitude series, only the slot is there but not usable. u need to purchase additional option to enable it if applicable.
