Urgent , plan to get one in this few days before christmas .I would like to know on CQ40.

1.What's the different between 133AX and 134AX  ?
134AX is pre-installed with Windows Vista Home Premium ( You need to backup it yourself)

2.I heard it's quite hot.Does it really hot on the keyboard and touchpad ?
it depends, if you are playing game. it might yes

3.About the warranty , how much does it cost for 3 years warranty ?
1st year is bundle with the laptop . extend 2 more years +RM199(HP Warranty). you can check with retailer if they offer their own warranty.

4.How many battery cell does it give ? 4 or 6 cell ?
6 cells

5.I also heard it use a lot of battery which the battery live is only 1:30 mins.Is it true ? how to solve it ?
If your car battery only can use for 1 years. what do you do? sure is get another one


6.How much does it normally cost upgrading another 1GB ram ? (The boucher show 1GB 667mhz for the laptop)
you can change to 800Mhz. try to upgrade to at least 3G. 1Gb is around RM50. get a stick of 2GB would be more worth


7.Saw some post there's an issue with the speaker'tick tick' sound and 'explode' sound.
I have no issue with that so far.


8.What's the temperature between idle and load for processor on 2.0 Ghz and 2.1 Ghz ?
Never measure. not an issue for me

9.What's the temperature between idle and load for graphic card on HD 3200 and HD 3450 ?
Never measure. not an issue for me

10.Does it have microphone ?
No. buy another yourself

11.Is it hard to install all the driver ?
Come here and find. we all willing to help.

12.Can I extend the warranty let say after 1 year of using , I want to extend another year or 2 years .How much does it cost ?
No idea for that. i recommand you extend it when u buy it. Laptop must always come with

You put a lot of data on your newly bought notebook internal HDD? That is risky man. Better take precautionary measure.
