hmm then how to cool down laptops? Laptops can be used for torrents and some gaming right? i assume the laptop will be hot.

QUOTE(astria @ May 4 2009, 12:26 PM)
ya, u can use for that... when gaming the laptop will be hot definetely, since that's a lot of work for it to do, but wouldn't be to the pt of overheat and shut down unless u fiddled with the clock...
*
surely can use for torrenting & gaming...it will generate a lot of heat when play games..so better be sure that your laptop have good venting space & not in a too hot room..should be fine...use a table fan instead of notebook cooler..

while you playing games, can cook egg on the gpu unit laugh.gif ..gaming & cooking in the same time..just joking laugh.gif tongue.gif

yup..med-setting is good enough...

just like astria said, not even G50 can play crysis in high-setting...btw, finding a laptop that can play crysis in high-setting without any lag surely gonna cost you a BOMB rolleyes.gif

Actually Compaq's quality same like Hp ? Most of my friends told me that Hp quality is way better than Compaq , is it true ? But both of the are from same company wor ?
*
Not the same, maybe compaq quality is a bit lower than HP..HP surely better quality than compaq (an established company, known by consumers for years)

HP is the parent company of compaq...

I would definitely would love to buy from US especially if can DIY the specs and since they are much cheaper than in Malaysia.My friend's dv7 with 9600GT costs only US1.2k(around <RM4k) but in MY it costs 8-9k?

Complications would be the warranty and servicing...Some websites in US do provide 'DIY-ing' specs like HP.What about other websites?Asus?Sager?
*
Sager can, Asus i don't think so...yup, importing the lappy is cheaper, just like you said dv7 cost almost 9k here in malaysia but importing it online only cost less than 5k..maybe can get global warranty (hp), so can service it a service center in malaysia lor..

*lol, just read astria post, forgot about xoticpc.com... rclxub.gif ..can modified models there too thumbup.gif

1 thing i like about xoticpc is they actually give us a real battery life span lor...so can just see how long actually the laptop can last with battery...some site(official one) always bluffing about battery life..haiz~~
