Well, maybe they are still keeping old stock i guess.
I sold that black F6v before, and my first impression was ... OMG ! Where is all the flower ? icon_idea.gif
Im very certain that 4GB black comes with plain black color.
I dont know which supplier they get it from, but the one im getting is just plain color design. laugh.gif

Okay, there are few models.
First F6 comes with Black and White color with P8600 processor and 2GB 800mhz, 250GB HDD.
Got two different spec, one with ATI HD 3470 256Mb dedicated graphic and another one just normal intel graphic.
Price differs as well.

After that, the enhanced model, P8600 which comes with 3GB 800mhz RAMm, 250GB HDD.
The differences with the previous model would be : - Variety of color + design on its skin, Perfume smell.

The latest one would be F6v which comes with P8600 processor with 4GB 800mhz RAM, 320GB HDD.
So far i sold blue, Pink, Green and Black color.
Only Black color comes with plain black skin. laugh.gif

Well, you can always buy cheap cheap RM25 laptop skin sticker to protect them. Buy those cartoon one would be great. ^^ =x

ok just for your both of you perfect stranger and windows7...
there is the F6A as mentioned by perfect stranger and i quote

"First F6 comes with Black and White color with P8600 processor and 2GB 800mhz, 250GB HDD.
Got two different spec, one with ATI HD 3470 256Mb dedicated graphic and another one just normal intel graphic.
Price differs as well."

HOWEVER for this model the one i just bought 2-3 days ago actually is the one with just normal intel graphic card like the one mentioned above BUTit did come with 4GB instead of 2GB of rams already built in inside the laptop. And oh by the way this model comes in black and white. Not glossy finish and no perfume.

Thank you...

Well, ATI HD3470 and Nvidia 9300M GS falls under same 3rd class GPU.
Just that the memory different only.
M51vr comes with full keyboaard and im sure Acer aspire can't give you that, as well as the 2 years international warranty.

As Perfect-Stranger says,
HD3470 and 9300M are same in the mainstream GPU class listing.
9300M outperforms HD3470 in benchmarks, bt for games HD3470 is slightly better.
As for 8400GS is also a timebomb as it may overheat.

PS, perfect-stranger I like m51's full keyboard as i dota mostly.. N i'm accustomed to using the numpad for typing numbers. Haha..

The steps i went through is launch WinFlash, select the BIOS file(example: F80SAS.212), then it shows and current BIOS version info and the to be upgrade to BIOS version info. I click Flash and it reboots. When it reboots, it boots into my Vista without done anything.
I seen that the flashing is actually done at the WinFlash itself. But it didn't happened to mine... unsure.gif

I always use numpad, for apps requiring numbers and stuff. N i do hate carrying around a portable numpad..

Juz wondering, I have a F8Vr, it's already partitioned with Primary partition (VISTA here) and Logical (Any other files here)
There's another primary partition which sits at 9.77GB and has NOTHING in it... Are there anything in there or is it a backup partition?

Well, Asus Official website takes longer time to load compared to other normal website.
Just click it and go and make yourself a coffee. By the time your coffee are ready, i guess the website are ready for you to use jor shocking.gif blush.gif

Nope, you no need to activate Vista unless you bypass the initial process when starting up your laptop for the first time, but you need to register warranty through online within 7 days.

Hi, for your infomation, you dont need to have so high budget for X50.
Recently there is a stock shortage for X50GL. Stock might be coming after Chinese new year.

For budget around RM3500.
First choice would be X59SR.
Other than that, you can take a look on X59SL and F8vr.

Hi, welcome to Asus Royal Club.
Yea, heavy is for sure for a 15 inches baby thumbup.gif
Well, for T8100, as far as i am concern, it should be lower than 51C. Isnt it ?
Mayb you can ask around in Technical support thread.
Do give us some feedback on it. blush.gif

So does that mean it's a ghost partition with nothing in it and I cannot format it too? Coz in Diskmanager in Vista, I'm unable to do any thing with that partition... What does that mean? or is that Vista's "private" partition?

Have you tried delete the partition and recreate that partition again + Quick format it.

Hi! I have search over the forum and I couldn't find any info on Asus F5GL. As I see in the brochures, it only costs RM 2599 with the following specs:
-15.4"
-Intel Core 2 Duo, P7350, 2.2 GHz
-Nvidia GeForce 8200M
-2GB DD2-RAM
-250GB SATA

Any F5GL users here? I need you guys review on this notebook. And here's a link to the product:

Well, as what i stated in my previous post, you mentioned that it cost RM3299,
It would be possible for the seller to reduce like RM50 from that price. smile.gif

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Yeap, it is a good laptop, but you must take note of one thing.
It is FREE DOS aka No operating system inside ( No window ), ONLY comes with Window Vista drivers inside.
If you would like to install XP OS in it, please search through website for XP driver before you install it.
No every country having F5GL this laptop, so it's kinda hard to find review for it.


» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

NO !
Okay, F5VL, Z99E and X80LE are very good model, but the thing is, since you want to buy a laptop for urself, why dont consider buying a new model ?
Official Asus website only provides spec and info for laptop and do not state any prices for Any asus laptop at all.
So, no matter how low is your budget, go for the new model.

F5VL ----- > X59SL
Z99E ------> F80Q
X80LE -----> F80Q


» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Glad to hear that nod.gif

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Well, just go to Power Option.
Change the setting for " Choose what happen when i close my LCD " ( something like that )
Put Do Nothing =D smile.gif

Hi, So far, dont have any info for these models yet.

Yeap, it is a good laptop, but you must take note of one thing.
It is FREE DOS aka No operating system inside ( No window ), ONLY comes with Window Vista drivers inside.
If you would like to install XP OS in it, please search through website for XP driver before you install it.
No every country having F5GL this laptop, so it's kinda hard to find review for it.


Thanks alot for your reply. And I still got a few questions... Hope you don't mind to solve it for me! ^^ Millions Thanks first!

1) So X59SR and F5GL with genuine windows vista installed, which is more worth?
Because I plan to buy one ASUS lappie on the next PC fair. And I am using it for average game play, average internet access and to accompany
me in my university's life. Budget is around 3.5k. (It's all about worth or not. Not cheap!!)

2) Is Asus aftersale service good?
I know it provides a two year warranty and Asus laptop is one of the most durable laptop brand. Just want to know how its service in case.

Again, thanks for all the reply!

Hi all, any one here knows any known issue for Asus G series? (I'm thinking of getting G71 in LY this weekend). What I heard is the fan sound will be very noisy after a while... Is that true.... ? unsure.gif

Well, definitely X59SR. Meaning because of 512mb dedicated ati hd 3470 graphic memory. icon_question.gif
2 years international warranty covers both parts and labour as well.
So far, it is better than most of the brand in the market, eg Acer, Fujitsu, Toshiba, BenQ ... in terms of warranty wise.

Lacus, Asus X59GL. Got this babeh at 2199, totally in love with it..kinda like Asus's fast email respond (not to mention, a huge Asus fan here tongue.gif) overall the laptop is ok but the only disadvantage is the ram does not run dual channel apparently :/ Btw as for laptops, get it at lowyat plaza....u'll get the same offer as pc fair (i was working there..heck after pc fair the shops still offers same freebies for Asus notebook)

Hi, welcome to Asus big family smile.gif
Member name list updated !
Thanks for your review ya laugh.gif

Em, X59GL cannot run dual channel ?
Well, as far as i am concern,
when you are installing the OS, dont put in extra RAM first. Just let it use its original 2gb RAM.
After finished installing the OS + drivers, then only you put in ur ram. smile.gif

Coz I am interested in the m50vn but in most stalls in lowyat they only have m50vm.

my brotherr's x80l's power adaptor died a few days after purchase, i brought the adaptor along with the receipt to the service center next to lowyat. the guy changed a new one for me, no hassle, so i guess its good

my own a8js is 2yr+ old now, so far ok, though its experiencing random shut down due to overheating, but i never need to service it for any other issue, so i guess its ok

anyways i will change to a desktop later this year so i still recommend asus

p/s: and my asus eee 1000h is working very well so i like asus

Hi,
F80Q uses Intel GMA 4500 which you can find it belongs to the 3rd class GPU in the GPU ranking.
Good enough, upgraded to 3GB ram, graphic hyper memory = 1.2GB
For normal tasking + normal 2D and 3D games = Good enough.

Then do you know of any store that sells it or do I need to make a special order for this kind of notebook? I've more or less made up my mind to buy one adi.

Actually...can I just buy it at ASUS Sales & Marketing Office directly??

Hi, for gaming,
if you want better interms of graphic wise,
X59SR would be highly recommended.

If you want better in terms of processing speed,
F8vr, M51vr would be highly recommended.

Well, if possible, buy Corsair Gaming laptop RAM if you want better in terms of performance.
Market price around RM100 per stick.

Sometimes, it's due to some of the software that you installed conflict with the webcam software/driver.
Nomatter how you reinstall the driver, it will be the same unless you uninstall that particular software which has blocked ur webcam.
You can try to uninstall some of the program like Antivirus and Codec pack
See whether it can solve ur problem or not.
No idea what software you installed in your laptop, hope it can help.

QUOTE(f4tE @ Jan 18 2009, 12:14 AM)

Well,
Price differs by RM 150 like that,
Seldom got people want to buy F6 for gaming purposes.
Normally people will chose between M51vr and F8vr.
Either Altec lansing speaker or normal speaker.
Either full Keyboard or normal keyboard.

Haha, i dont know much about ram,
just that most of my customer will purposely change all the ram into gaming ram when they purchase F8vr or M51vr from me.
Well, for better gaming experience,
mostly people won't go for Bios update unless it's necessary for them to do so.

Well, it's an option for user to decide whether they want to change every single RAM inside their laptop into Gaming ram.
Means your laptop originally comes with 4gb OEM RAM, and you are paying more inorder to change the current ram into gaming ram.
Yeap, normally if you buy together with extra gaming ram, seller normally will ask you to top up a little bit instead of paying the full amount of the price of the ram.
How much will it cost, mostly depands on how you nego with ur seller. smile.gif

Hehehe, i never go into gaming ram that much, no idea.
It just that my company did put it for display and sell it whever there is a demand from customer. thumbup.gif

If just harddisk issue, i will just change it for customer and send the spoilt unit for warranty in later time.

Nope, it just that at the moment no more stock.
Whole Msia no stock.
Stock can be order after CNY.
1 month before CNY, China side will close receiving order from all the suppliers.
So, no more stock coming in unless order has been made in advance.

Hello, this is my first time posting here.

I've been very interested in getting the ASUS M50 laptop. I haven't been to KL to check the prices yet, because it's a bit mafan for me to go there. So I just want to check with you guys... is there an ASUS M50 selling for RM4588? Or around that range. Because the only one I could find is RM5988 which is way over my budget!!

Your help would be much appreciated, thank you.

Actually...can I just buy it at ASUS Sales & Marketing Office directly??

well the G50vt looks identical to the G50v just the spec inside differs. maybe u could ask a few of us who owns the G50v version to give u a show of the laptop if u like. I could but but not that really free myself except weekends. I just got myself the G50 last week (last tuesday 13/01/09) from lowyatt

p/s: that lappie had to be booked in advance though

Thanks for the swift reply.

I went to Sunway Pyramid just now to scout around for prices. (it's closer to me compared with Low Yat) And apparently the RM4588 M50 model was released back in August 2008, and is now being replaced by the RM5988 one. Is that true? The fella also mentioned laptops get upgrade and replaced every 2-3 months. I guess if we want the M50 laptop we have to stick with the RM5988 version. Still, it would be nice if we could still find the cheaper model somewhere... Because I really don't need the bigger HD and the blu-ray drive upgrade.

I don't remember the shop name, it's about the only shop there that sells ASUS laptops I think. It's one of the shops nearest to the elevators at the skating ring. They sell alot of Sonic speakers inside.

Oh, and they say they are out of stock too. Sorry.

Hi...any Asus F80Q user here?

need some feedbacks from you guys....

I told by an Asus promoter that when you bought the F80Q, it comes with a CD that contains all the drivers for window XP?

because i want to install XP in my F80Q..

and.... how is the graphics performance of this model? is it enough to handle most of the middle end games?

Your laptop won't overheat if it's on idle. If really overheat you should quickly take back to service center. Is it in sleep mode when you use it again? Because some laptop have this trouble to start back from sleep. i'm having this problem too, mostly because of my Nvidia 185.20 driver. When I roolback to 17X.XX driver I don't have this problem.

Somehow I do believe cooler pad didn't work on Asus laptop even in air conditioned room. This is because when I play game the highest temp always stay the same no matter what room temp even in air conditioned room together cooler pad. Only temp when idle will be lower when use cooler pad.

PS: In a very hot weather my max temp when gaming increase by 2C compare to normal room temp and cool room temp.

Which serial port do you mean ?
It comes with DVi port and VGA port.
So far, no stock for this model, most probably during CNY Or after CNY.
Yeap, official extended warranty is something like that.

Well, do you have any specific budget, so that we can advise on other model.

According to official spec, F6V comes with TPM module, but during POST, there is an error saying that can't detect TPM device. The TPM option doesn't seem to appear in BIOS menu. Flashed to latest BIOS doesn't help.

Anyone having this issue?

Wah, everyone here seems to own high end ASUS lappy...

I'm using ASUS A8Jc only, a bit crappy but ok le for travel tongue.gif

But, i really respect the ASUS Service Centre at E-Gate, Penang

Recently, i sent my out-of-warranty lappy for repair due to broken hinges & guess what?

They repair the hinges & change the silver covers with no charge at all

HEHE, so damn happy until today...

Planning to upgrade to a better model this year,

Any suggestion? I want to use it for casual 3D gaming while travelling... nod.gif

Welcome Hellguy into this forum with his G71 ! tongue.gif

QUOTE(class_sick @ Jan 23 2009, 03:40 PM)
not very sure how to describe that serial port.
normally my frenz n i call it as serial port.
it use to download data to ic by using micropy circuit.

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=915471&hl=
my specific budget is about RM2200-RM2300.

specs target:
-2gb ram
-c2d 2.0ghz T5800 and above
-free dos
-good graphic card (can run smooth on software dat i mentioned above)
-15` or 14` doesnt matter happy.gif
-can extended warranty for 3 years.

thanks ya.

Well, with that budget, i will recommend F80Q.
Graphic wise, it uses Intel GMA 4500, in which the hyper memory for graphic will goes up to 1291mb memory when you added up to 3-4gb ram.

Hi,

Regarding the serial port, u can use usb to serial converter. Is widely available in electronic shops and it costs about rm50 to rm60. The serial port is used for rs232 communication(uses baud rate).

Just got my Asus G71V last Wednesday, and I'm very happy with the outlook and performance. It's extremely fast and what I heard about other rumours of the fan sound is totally wrong. It's quiet and much better compare to my previous Lenovo Y300. The face recognition is faster, and require minimum of lighting to detect who am I and login accordingly (I had created 3 accounts with different pictures)

I got this lappy for RM8700 (after rejecting the free gifts - which I already have better items compare to the freebies) from Low Yat. Sales representative is very keen to explain all the benefits to me, even I'm not very expert on computer hardware.

Anyway, here is the spec of my G71V:
- Core 2 Duo T9400 2.53 Ghz
- 4GB DDR3 RAM 1066Mhz
- 1 TB HDD (2x 500GB)
- Nvidia GeForce 9700GT 512MB
- 17.1" WXUGA Full HD LCD (1920 x 1200)
- BluRay Combo Drive (BluRay - Read Only)
- Vista Ultimate 64bit
- 4 Altec Lansing Built-in speakers with subwoofer.

It also came with Razor mouse and backpacks which is cool and match with my lappy.

Generally, this is a good laptop for all purposes and it's highly recommended to anyone that like good design, quiet, cool and fast performance lappy.... icon_rolleyes.gif

Yeap, if the extended warranty only cost your around RM50-100, that one would be the warranty from ther shop.
Basically they will only cover the software part, not the hardware part. shakehead.gif

Hi,

My brother looking for a Asus G50, can someone recommend me a good place to shop. I know i can find the laptop in Lowyatt but just wondering if anyone here can give good shop that i should look into.

For now my brother is using Asus G1s (which is previously mine - sell to him and now using Mac). He want to sell G1s and upgrade to G50.

theres not many shops that really sells them as they are the rare buy. But many will gladly try to sell it to you(at mark up of course). U can find one on 2nd floor just beside the escalator if not mistaken.....also 2 of them on the 3rd floor. one is an ASUS booth or so I would say. Another is a shop exactly in front of ALL IT.

p/s: Though dont expect any of these shops to have a sample model to show u.....

HI Guys

Just got my X59 last Thursday. So far the performance great. The speed quite satisfy but I still learning to use it since I'm using Mac for quite sometimes. It can get a bit hot but I use cooler so its fine.

But I found out that the battery don't last long. How long actually the battery can last? Do it have any alarm setting to make me alert the battery is going weak. Not until it goes to hibernate. Sorry, not really used to laptop/windows. Need to learn more.

@faakiut, which X59 series? the GL or SR?if u did install those ultility that comes with ur notebook (mostly asus stuff, the most important 1 is the Asus power gear extreme or something like that)..mine last around 2hours+ depending on usage...@dlct87,it depends on wat u looking/need in the laptop. if u want bigger screen(14.1), go for F8VR or not just get the M51 (smaller screen,13.3)

Bro, got ur sms today, well, dont worry, once service centre open on Monday or tuesday, then you can get it fixed at that point of time.

Well, like what Lacus mentioned, you can always adjust your battery life by using Asus utility such as Power4Extreme.
Do remember one thing, High performance will automatically consumed more battery power.
Try to lower down ur brightness or switch it to power saving mode.

Your laptop won't overheat if it's on idle. If really overheat you should quickly take back to service center. Is it in sleep mode when you use it again? Because some laptop have this trouble to start back from sleep. i'm having this problem too, mostly because of my Nvidia 185.20 driver. When I roolback to 17X.XX driver I don't have this problem.

No worries bro, most of the dealers dont have the stock yet.
You should be happy, asus lappy is like this, they wil not change the model name, but they will update the spec for that particular model and selling at the same price when there is a new stock.

for graphic,which one is more better between graphic with dedicated memory and graphic that can share up memory with ram?
for example ATI Mobility Radeon X2300 graphics with 128 MB dedicated video memory and Nvidia GeForce 8200MG - shared up to 895MB.

thanks
*
Hi, mostly people will go for dedicated graphic memory GC rather than integrated graphic which share up memory with the ram.

@faakiut, which X59 series? the GL or SR?if u did install those ultility that comes with ur notebook (mostly asus stuff, the most important 1 is the Asus power gear extreme or something like that)..mine last around 2hours+ depending on usage...@dlct87,it depends on wat u looking/need in the laptop. if u want bigger screen(14.1), go for F8VR or not just get the M51 (smaller screen,13.3)

I'm own the X59 SR. Actually I don't install anything. The guy from the shop help me to install something when I went to get the Lappy. I thought he did everything for me? Do I still need to install the CD after that? Sorry, I really blur about lappy. Cause I though, for laptop, the shop do all the installation for u. Correct me if I wrong.

Hi, It's recommended for you to register through online.
That people said so, because customer might face lots of problem when comes to register their laptop thru online. Eg, Asus website loading speed sux, take longer time to load compared to other website and blablabla.

Well, in oversea, if you jz bring ur receipt to claim for warranty, they will not accept it, they will ask you to register first online, then only they will fix it for you.

Just bought Asus F6 from C-Comp as get quite a good package.

RM4050 with free upgrade to 4GB DDR2 ram and 320Gb Hdd with C2D8600. Other free stuff is Asus original mouse, Asus laptop bag, keyboard protector, Earpiece with Mic and its with the package of Laptop Cooler for Coolermaster infiniti. Is this a good bargain ?

Happy with it as its very fast and first time i used any laptop with 4.0 cert for Vista. lolx. Maybe I'm too outdated.

Anyone got any comment on what to modify as I wanna uninstall the norton.

Er,
F6V comes with 4GB RAM together with the laptop.
Well, normal price selling at RM3988, how come you need to pay another RM50 ?
smile.gif

Well, uninstall norton is a wise choice laugh.gif
Other than that, you can also disable your user control (UAC) which wil make it faster.

Hey guys

Just purchased my new Asus laptop from Perfect_stranger a few days ago from Lowyat Plaza

Was a good and smooth deal ! Will recommend anyone who is interested in Asus laptops and residing in KL to deal with him !

Purchased a M50Vn, specs stated earlier and I will come up with a review soon.


Btw I wanna ask, do I need to install the latest BIOS from Asus website and install ?

There's an issue on this for Asus laptops. You can look under the Appendix section of your User Manual and there's the solution.

Hi..

i have budget around RM2500, and from the pricelist, i see Asus F5GL fit my budget (RM2599).. but, i'am more interested with Asus X59SL (RM2999) as it comes with ATI 3470 with dedicated RAM, compare to F5GL Nvidia 8200.. Furthermore, X59SL come with Vista Home Premium..

my question here.. can i buy X59SL without Vista, means come with Freedos.. so that i will spend less for it.. because i will use it with Vista business (need to have remote desktop for my work)..

another thing, can use credit card to buy the notebook? because i saw some brochure stated 0% interest 12month installment.. any additional charge or T&C?

Thank you..

The message pop up

"An error has been encountered that prevents Setup from continuing."

One of the components that windows needs to continue setup cannt be installed.

The request cannot be performed because of an I/O device error.

Press OK to view the setup log file.

Oh.. Cause I add in this laptop Cooler which cost Rm120 outside. Plus free original Asus mouse and bag and also keyboard protector. Erm... not good deal.

http://www.coolermaster.com/products/produ...=detail&id=2581

The smell start to fade away even its just a few days. ^^ . Anyone try to refill their F6 perfume. lolx

First time using full fledge Vista and can say.. it often crashes alot compare to my old Dell 6400 which is still alive and think startup time even faster. TT.

Hi, you cant buy X59SL without Window Vista.
Yes, you can buy it by using credit card, but most of the seller prefer cash and carry.
Well, installment plan / easy payment all depands on seller themselves whether they provide this kind of service or not.

As in the ON/OFF button should be on the same level as the "hole" for the button. So when you touch, it should feel smooth. Hope u got what i mean. sweat.gif

I think for those who have questions on graphic cards/GPUs and stuff like that... like which is better and which is not.

Go check out http://www.notebookreview.net


For a noob like me, I first find out which class the graphic card is listed, whether its Class 1,2 or so on. Of course the higher it is the better.

After that, read the detailed explanation, you might be able to find out what disadvantages/advantages that specific GPU has.


In reply to NahSek regarding the processor, OF COURSE THE QUAD CORE !

Core 2 Duo = 2 times
Quad Core = 4 times, the Quad itself means 4

Haha of coz the price oso "better" laaa

i realise my M51v the "push" button to open the lid is a bit rosak.. when i close the lid fully and press the push button to open it, its kinda stuck to open the lid (the push button i press till very in liao) any idea wat is the cause? can this prob be repaired?


Added on February 8, 2009, 11:48 pmjust did a quick inspection on my laptop and i realise the lid holder is broken. it went out of position, causing the difficulty in opening the lid. Does the warranty cover this? how long will it take to repair it? i bought it from TIMELESS shop

How different it is compared to the very first time you open it ? smile.gif
If big difference, you can always seek help from technician in Asus Royal Club Jalan Imbi. smile.gif


Added on February 8, 2009, 11:51 pmYes, no worries, can claim warranty.
I would advise you to call them up and ask them to prepare the parts before you go there.

In this case, normally they will replace the casing.
If part is available over there, you can claim it on that day itself.
Tel them you nid it urgently.

Wow disaster !! ><
Okay, I've seen much severe cases.
Nothing to worry about, just call them up and tell them your problem.
Ask them to prepare the casing itself and ask when they can get the casing.
After that only go and look for them


Added on February 9, 2009, 12:02 amWhat i can see from the picture, the hinge is the major factor.
But anyhow you need to have a new case, isn't it ?
No need to go back TIMESLESS, they can't do anything.
They will jz help you to send it for warranty claim. But trust me, i believe they wil ask you to go yourself.

Yes, jz opposite Times Square and near to Sg Wang and Lowyat plaza.

Hi! For those who are using GF 8600M GT.. Any problem encountered with your lappy?

Just have a quick glance at this site, Asus doesn't give the user a lot of headache. True?

Asus got quiet a number models, price wise difficult to acquire except going to show room.@Website you can get a lot of spec but cannot compare their pricing?? Wonder if their service center provide direct sale to walk-in customer?Any idea?

Okay, what you mean by installing Ubuntu in your pc ?
You are running dual OS, Vista + Ubuntu or ?
Basically what you can do is, go to Asus support website, go to download section, then choose your model.
After that select Operating system -- > Linux
Check whether there is any Bios update for Linux OS.
Coz if you cant install it in your laptop, for Asus laptop, it's all about BIOS.

Good luck bro.

Yeap, but take note,
Z99SR doesn't comes with Express gate.
So, he can actually try update the BIOS and download drivers.
But for me, it's not an issue caused by drivers, it is the BIOS.

Ok i wanna ask about the model X50GL20DXP7350. The price is 2599. it has a p7350 prosessor compared to the other same model with T6300. ive asked lots of shops and a dealer. funny thing is they tell me its out of stock and obselete, but its quite a new model. the one with T6300 is available but i much prefer the P.
Is the anyone here with pics or know how the notebook looks? coz i cant find info on it. Is it glossy or matte?
So i called Asashi n they r like the only one who has it so i have to order it from them(im from sarawak btw) that means warranty i gotta send it back.
So tell me the status of this model, is it faulty or being called back? and the looks. Oh and i heard new models of Asus r coming out like this week or the next. so maybe i should wait..

So tell me the status of this model, is it faulty or being called back? and the looks. Oh and i heard new models of Asus r coming out like this week or the next. so maybe i should wait..

theres two types for that model. one with the P7350 and the other T6400. i obviously want the P coz its better but to find it is x.x
*
Hi,
Hope i can help with my information here.
X50GL only comes with T5800 RM2199 ( no more in the market ) and T6400 ( RM2699 ).
P7350 processor only comes with F80SE and F5GL.
Both no longer in production anymore.
If you insisted to get F5GL, no problem, you can get them from dealers who are still keeping the stock.
Warranty wise no need to worry, as long as no people touches the hardware or do some changes on it, you are able to claim for the warranty in any Asus service centre.
F80SE -- Recalled back model.
F5GL -- Stop production, replaced by X50GL T6400.

do u think its worth getting a laptop with OS in? considering u will spend like 200+ more whereas u can just install a pirated one. expecially here in malaysia no one cares.

hello eveyone...HELP!!!

i just bought my new asus laptop X59sr this monday...here comes the problem.

after the salesmen help me set up the os, i found that the speed of the laptop is a bit lack..it doesnt look like a 4 Gb ram..
then the salesmen told me that its bcs the laptop just set up so it will slow a bit..and once after u use it in future, it will be normal..

however, after i hv used for few days...everything is ok..with good performace..but the speed of the laptop is still the same when loading.
my fren told me tat its bcs the laptop need time to boot at start up..

but then it still the same after the laptop loaded completely, when i click on 'my computer' or 'control panel' it load slow..
i feeling it slow bcs i hv seen my fren BenQ laptop with just 2 Gb ram is even faster than mine a lot..
this speed sometime happen again when i copying file to external or while installing thing...

then i recovery it ..it become faster ....however, when i shutdown and start again, the speed slow again...

i called to the dealer, they said 'asus punya ram memang macam itu', this make me so angry!!!
as i know asus is very good quality when compare v others.

can anyone help me find out wat is the problem?and wat should i do?????
my fren ask me to exchange a new one if the prob cant b solved since its just few days after purchase..is tis possible???

thanks

hello.. the slow is like when i click in the my computer, it will load around 2-3 seconds...then if i click refresh, it become slower, around 3-4 seconds la...

then my control panel is slower than that...it take longer time to load...

my fren's no need to wait.. straight come out..

sumtime i feel tat my old dekstop pc with pentium 4 256 ram is faster when compare..

although it doesn affect anything, but just wondering why when i do the recovery, it no need to wait, but then after restart it need to wait...
it suppose to b the same right?

and it should b like a 4 Gb ram performance isnt it?

or this scene is normal to all asus laptop??

thanks for reply...appreciate smile.gif

the "SLOW 4gb ram" asus laptop was bought from Just PC
any comment to that shop?


for me iwould give 0/10 to that kind of shop
asus punya ram memang macam ini << f**king bullshit
maybe they holding some pc with problems, and sell them to customers who dont really have knowledge about computer
sucks

when customer calls, just point to imbi plaza

the hell i will go imbi plaza, tomolo i will just go to the shop and shoot 9 the sales assistant. if he doesnt have the knowledge, then dont try to bullshit "memang macam ini asus punya ram"

slow 4gb ram for notebook should b using 2x2gb...either they r mixxing 2 different type of brands and speed which might result in the slowness of the system :/.. btw i don't blame asus for the ram sweat.gif heck, asus don't even make rams tongue.gif

i have something i would like to ask. Lately, i noticed that the right side of my lappy screen seems dimmer then the rest of the screen. Even if i jack up the lighting to the max, the right side ( about 3cm from the right edge of the screen ) seems dimmer, i don't know whether it existed since i bought it or just recent though.

Anyone had similar experience?

btw, i am using F8vr

Hi, if your surrounding with air conditioner, then no problem, you can on it for 3 days straight without using cooler pad.
Otherwise, it would be recommend to use cooler pad.

Yes, for most of the laptop nowadays, when it exceed the max temperature it can takes, the laptop will auto shut off or restart.
So far never heard of any issue on overheating on Asus lappy.

The small panel at the bottom shows that my bluetooth is not turned on because the green LED did not light up.

Click FN key together with F2 button to ON / OFF your wireless and bluetooth.

Nope you cant.
Some laptop you can managed to change the GPU but it depands on your board as well.
For sure, it would be costly. Might be as well you buy another laptop which comes together with graphic. smile.gif

Hi everyone.. I just got this laptop recently, Asus X59SL series. I feel that my laptop very hot at the left side of the keyboard. My laptop temp can go up to 64 'C even with cooler pad below.

Temperatures
CPU 60 °C (140 °F)
CPU #1 / Core #1 72 °C (162 °F)
CPU #1 / Core #2 71 °C (160 °F)
GPU Diode 54 °C (129 °F)
Seagate ST9250827AS 50 °C (122 °F)

Cooling Fans
CPU 3500 RPM

Voltage Values
CPU Core 1.00 V

The heat makes me feel so uncomfortable. Anyone else using this lap top as me, do u encounter the same problem? Is it normal for a laptop to be so hot? This my first laptop. So i've know nothing bout laptop. Please help me. Thanks in advance.

perfect-stranger, wanna ask you something,  i notice you keep pushing F8vr and M51vr. what about x50sr? i'm a bit confused coz x50sr spec seems ok and cheaper tongue.gif and the graphic card is 512 compare to m51vr 256??

Hi, it is X59SR.
Yeap, it is a good model.
Im pushing F8vr and M51vr because both also Centrino 2 Laptop.
Depands on customer demands. If you want better graphic, yes, X59SR can give 512 mb dedicated memory for graphic.

Hi guys, i am using asus x50gl series. I jus upgrade my ram to 4gb for my gaming purpose. My Nvidia 8200 can shared up to 1.5gb with 4gb of ram. Btw, it still cant support the medium settings of many games especially RA3. I heard from frens that i need to do manual settings on the shared graphics to fully boost it up to 1.5gb. how to do it ?

Yea, Asus Website always that slow as it was hosted in Taiwan, not Malaysia.
So if you Msian browse to Msia website, it wil be very fast, but not applicable on foreign website.

Any comment of F6V?

Planning to get one b4 i go to UK, maybe check out PC Fair to see if there's any good deal.

Any pros and cons for this model that i should be aware of?Recommendation on other lappie within this budget that i should consider?

Since in UK i'll be walking alot so weight will be an issue here and i try to focus more on 13" rather than anything bigger.

No problem.
My shop, cash and credit card ( Visa Master ) one lump sum payment, no extra charges.
For installment, yes, there is 3-4% processing fees.
Total amount x 3% = New amount divided by 12 months.

Well, if you are using it jz for normal use, can consider N10JC or eee series as you are worying about the weight itself.
If for abit hardcore usage, then F6v wil be the only choice if you want to get 13inches for urself.

I did had a thin about the N10J but i don't know if i can hang on to the screen for long, alot of work will be done so i think anything with screen smaller than 13" is out.

I did went to Asus shop in MV and maybe i got used to my LCD even i felt the 13" of F6V is small blush.gif

Hi, for your information, NO stock for M50VM and M50VN in the market.
Want to order from supplier also cannot smile.gif
Basically there is nothing much difference between M50VM and M50VN.
From the spec you stated above, it is M50Vn. smile.gif
Too bad, no stock in the market.
I try to ask see whether any company keeping stock for this model.
Remind me incase i forgot to tell you about it .

Well, this is about hardware issue. Not software issue.
Basically is the manufacturer faulty.
Since it's under warranty, whenever you are free, jz drop by at assus service centre will do for peace of mind. smile.gif

Yes, PC fair on coming April.
Well, actually the price is almost similar as the cost price for each unit remain the same.
It just that maybe you can able to get more freebies.
But take note, maybe the one who serves you might be a part timers.
So, in this case, no after sales service for you.

Yes, LCD bracket is the screen bracket.
It used to hold your LCD and the panel itself.
Well, how come you send it to the shop, not to the Asus service centre ?
Don't tell me you send it to 3rd party to service your laptop.
How come will service until LCD part ?
Take note, changing on hardware will automatically void the warranty that ccomes together.

I just check asus website

Does the F8Vr really come with WiMax? At the website they list it as having Intel® WiMAX/WiFi Link 5100.

Another thing, for M51Vr model, they list this - TV remote controller, receiver, and antenna(optional)

Does the M51Vr sold in lowyat store come with this "optional" stuff. If not, how can I get it.
I notice the laptop will have a port for antenna as shown in their enlargement picture if it have this "option".

I want watch TV with M51Vr laptop, can?

Hi, no worries, connecting your F6V via HDMI to your HD LCD screen, the picture quality wont be downgraded or so on.
I'm curious why you want to use VGA and DVI since HDMI output can transmit out Audio and Video signal. Unless you want to connect your laptop with old projector.

HDMI aka High definition Multimedia interface, enable you to have 1080P image ( Full High definition ) image on your LCD screen.
ATI HD 3470 + 4GB RAM, it's enough for you to run Autocad software.

For more info, learn more about Centrino 2, then you know what is all this about.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrino

Intel® WiMAX/WiFi Link 5100 -- > New thing in Centrino 2 platform

M51VR doesn't comes together with TV remote, receiver and antenna.
Well, you can still purchase a TV tuner in order to watch TV through your M51VR.

hi all.. i just got my laptop back from the service center.. but now im facing 2 more severe prob.. the 1st being the network icon not displaying the actual status
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=948077&hl=

well, i post it up in the link above and i ignore it.. then windows automatically download update and request me to restart my pc to install the update.. as im still doing some thing, i postpone it for a while... after that, around 2 minutes later i click shutdown from the menu and my laptop didnt install any update.. curious as to what happen, i restarted my laptop but it just wont start.. i have posted a thread in tech support
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=948120&hl=

but no one seems to know what happen.. hope i can find help here.. Asus service center business time is damn inconvenient for working ppl


Added on February 26, 2009, 11:42 pm**more update**
i can run the express gate with no problem, other than it cant connect to the internet but that probably due to i did not have LAN cable.. i normally connect to internet using wifi

i tried to run checkdisk for my hdd.. i inserted the recovery dvd, restart the PC and it's still stuck at the same page.. (i do this around 15 minutes ago)

so now im kinda stuck here


Added on February 26, 2009, 11:45 pm**more update**
this is what i have tried
1) inserting the RAM again.. the laptop can detect my 4g RAM
2) change BIOS to factory default
3) unplug all peripheral connected to my laptop

i mean i see u're running ur notebook without the battery..power gear usually saves power and to reduce power consumption, it turns off wifi or lan port if not mistaken..i think most likely u nv install the window update properly and resulting in the corruption...

Okay, you can always perform recovery by, restart your computer first, after you see Asus thingy pop up, press F9.
There is a recovery partition in it.

Well, Asus normally uses Seagate HDD.
If you want to change your current HD, i would recommend you to keep the current HD to claim for laptop warranty in the future.
Yes, N10J ori harddisk is 2.5''.

i just get my F8vr for ngam ngam 1 week (get it at last saturday)

quite satisfy it except the glare screen and the under-power 3470 graphics.


here, i would like to ask:

1. if i change the HDD (plan to get a 64G SSD to replace the default HDD), can the windows Vista remain use on new HDD? Can i install the windows with my own disc with the key at the bottom of my lappy?

2. Still cannot believe that the Ati 3470 just get 3.5 on Vista score..... it just only 8% performance of my desktop's ATI3870....
is it the fact? or limited by driver? it show more worst than NV9200m or NV9300m series...

Hello, it's me again!! smile.gif I finally got my M50Vn laptop last Thursday. It's working fine so far although I haven't run anything heavy yet like when I draw large files on Photoshop or running games. Had been busy with work. (first thing I did with the laptop was to do work that I bought home, sad right?) I bought it in Sunway Pyramid, there's 3 shops (under the same company) there selling ASUS laptops.

I'll provide a better review when I get accustom to and actually use this baby for heavier stuff!

One question though, how do I turn off the security setting that launches everytime I turn on the laptop? It keeps asking me to select a security type (fingerprint, password, smartcard etc) although I did already.

I never try changing the HDD to SSD coz im wondering whether the plug inside would be the same, or maybe you need to do some modification.
But if you chose to do so, you must bear the risk in which it might affect the warranty that comes with it.
As far as i am concerned, The product key for vista is OEM in which it was saved in your mobo.
Just put in the OEM recovery disc, then it will do like normal reformating.

Graphic wise im not expert. have you try with the latest driver or try to roll back to the previous driver.

So ,please think bout it before you buy Acer ...

Well, Asus normally uses Seagate HDD.
If you want to change your current HD, i would recommend you to keep the current HD to claim for laptop warranty in the future.
Yes, N10J ori harddisk is 2.5''.   
Haha, well, eee can play online game, but not red alert 3.
Can play dota as i oways use it for Dota purposes.
No problem, Vaio CS is cute, but from spec wise, F8v is better ^^

Perfect Stranger, May i know which model oof EEE pc can play dota??
And how much it will cost?

ello guys.... i had been surveying around for a lappy for quite a long long time ady(i'm not that kind who rushes things when its bout buying sumthing with a few K of my hard earn money T_T) since like... b4 the cny. and was about to get macbook, but then the deal is off due to some complications with the seller.

till now still surveying around. but currently, my heart seems to be sticking at asus f8vr or f6vr. or x59sr or M51vr.
though... x59 n m51 seems to be out of my league(size preference) since its 15.4". but their price vs spec factor is indeed very attractive.

so seems its on f8 or f6 tongue.gif
ermm... hehe.... can give some opinion on both from the current users here??
n of course i noe the difference is js the size n weight. n a bit on the design.
i was wondering if the swivel webcam on f8 durable. i have no use on the swivel function. but it looks like trouble.

Although when battery is fully charged, the AC power will automatically cut off... But it is recommend that you remove your battery while using the AC power....
Not so sure bout whether this will help to prolong the battery life....

Well, not only Asus, for those brand like Acer, Compaq and Toshiba. Especially those brand which run/sell huge quantity daily/ monthly.
This will not apply on Fujitsu brand.
One major reason would be the cost for pc component getting higher as most of the factory in China shuting down recently.

for me, the Asus provide the best built quality laptop which made by Taiwan company. Quite solid the built.

Anyone has the same problem like me?

The ExpressGate not functional well. when i press the ExpressGate button when Off mode, it run until colorful Asus logo, then prompt " the ExpreeGate is not well installed or not installed......

uninstall it, restart my lappy, then install back. then solve "temporary"

after afew time i use the ExpressGate, this problem come back again...

The EGate quite useful for me because i just surf net + MSN at the night time.....
