so should i go for it? 
or getting the INTEL proc?

Thanks for testing. Too bad cant reach 2 hrs. Did u tweak the powers options? AMD should enable the IGP so Hybrid power can be utilized.

dont mind if i ask something... i just bought this computer for Rm 2090 with 2 gb ram.... and y izzitso hot.. and will it spoil the hardware???

wah! 30 minutes - 1 hour? never tried yet. but ive waited nearly 30 minutes one time and i restart as i never had any vista installation more than 20 minutes. but ill try to run the installation as long as i can. thanks for the advise

still the same after DL..actually which one to DL, DL everythings seems no work..ai..
bluetooth how to use it? 

noise level decrease. very quite in fact. i used it in library just now and feels that the lappy is very quiet. almost no noise at all.

As far  as i know, vista 32 bit sp1 will show until 4GB. but the 'usable' amount of ram by the windows itself is less than that..

yaya the biometric finger print scanner...CQ40 got ka?

Thanks Bro...

Finally found my LYN userid 

Things are great... it's fast and it's stable... still stuck at 5.9 for memory running on 800MHZ -> perhaps should have gotten the Kingston Hyper Twin Series for faster performance...

Using Vista 32 bit for now. Will be installing XP Pro + Linux for triple boot.

Whether it was miscalculated for the price paid for the laptop or not - it's still a mystery as no one called...

Added on October 11, 2008, 1:13 pmWhile ReadyBoost will work with other devices – such as SD Card, CompactFlash, etc. – here are the baseline requirements the regarding what ReadyBoost will work with:

The USB Key must be at least USB 2.0
The device must be able to do 3.5 MB/s for 4 KB random reads uniformly across the entire device and 2.5 MB/s for 512 KB random writes uniformly across the device.
The USB Key has to have at least 64mb of free space

anyone? any ideas? since we have a reader built-in to the system.

Dear All,

I bought it at MYPC, most likely it's a miscalculation of price as the price I was told was RM2250 but somehow during the payment... it was only RM2050... Don't think it'll be that cheap for now... So guys, don't expect to get RM2050. I've been dealing with the shop for a long long long many years... I'm still waiting for a phone call from the guys at the shop to tell me that it's miscalculated... Good friends with them there...

Anyways, they don't keep stock. They only order when you want it. I'm not sure whether they'll order for just anyone. It took me around 4 days to get the laptop as there was some stock issues with the supplier.

All the best.

The brands found working -> for SD card -> Sandisk Extreme 3 (Box says 30MB/s)

Memory Stick -> Those expensive ones will usually work. The one that came with the Notebook by Pendrive works fine... It's really fast. KingMax super stick works fine too

ReadyBoost page on the properties page says it needs around 2GB for optimal performance. I'm thinking of getting 8GB either SD or the KingMax super stick which is really thin in size.

Anyone using Linux for this lappy?

Yupe Sandisk Expensive but worth it as it will be stuck in the card reader without causing any issues when you bring your laptop around... i'm fully ultilizing the USB ports... lol 

but i've read somewhere that ready boost wont have any impact on system that have 2GB ram or more.. btw, if wanna use ready boost, i would find a media card such as SD instead of USB drive. you can put it there without taking it out when keeping the lappy in the bag..

with 2GB or more you won't notice any improve or performance. better upgrade to 4GB ram and page all the files to ram.

wow. that sounds like bad. dnt u check it? and as for the card reader, mine is also hard to put in at the mid part. i guess its normal. any other ppl having this same prob?

We get 1 year full warranty with this laptop (email, phone and walk in warranty), so I suggest you contact HP if the product you receive is not up to standard and has a lot of problems. Maybe walk in to their service center in damansara heights and let them see. Who knows, the supplier/reseller might have changed stuffs or give u a refurbished/used one... hell, anything is possible in this day and age!

Few days never checked this thread so many hot topics came out

1) HDMI - no drivers are needed. Just install ATI Catalyst drivers and IDT HD Audio and you are all set. Get a HDMI cable, plug to LCD or plasma and comp should be able to auto detect external display. Can support up to 1920x1080 and 5.1 sound. I have tried with my LCD TV. Play HD video damn nice. Video and audio all in one cable.

2) Ready boost - If you have 2GB and above, you will notice not much difference or I would say no difference. If you still want to get, I suggest you to get a Class 6 SDHC card. Ready boost can support up to 4GB only. So if u get more than 4GB, u can allocated up to 4GB for ready boost and rest for storage. Since RAM is cheap nowdays, why not upgrade to 3 or 4GB. Much faster than Ready boost.

3) RAM upgrade - The system comes with 1GB of DDR2 667 RAM. If you are planning to upgrade, get another piece of 1GB or 2GB DDR2 667 RAM. DDR2 667 is not the optimum speed so if you have extra cash, remove the 1GB get 2X1GB or 2X2GB DDR2 800 RAM. Your system will be snappier. I've tried and benchmarked this.

Yup. Its removable. I have tested the comp with one stick and two sticks. Two sticks is faster little bit. Yeah if 32bit OS out of 4GB can use 3GB only. 1GB is missing.
