re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

hi all trinity members , also bought ths little black beauty for 32700rs, first impression awesome, i have seen a brown version in a shop, it has more sparkling effect on the body i guess. as most of the issues have already been asked and addressed, nothing more to ask

brown?

Then howcome some other users are able to install it?

no idea

Everything seems to be running fine now..do i need to do a restore or back to factory settings?

if everything works normally then no need to restore again.

just wanted to ask if anyone is experiencing change in brightness after switching between different tabs or applications..

yup. There is a setting in AMD CCC about auto brightness adjust. try ticking it off. also this change in brightness arises when the brightness is set at 50% or higher.

Guys am planning to buy a laptop but am confused if I should wait for asus k series A10 models or buy Hp g6 ?

if you can wait, A10 should cost 35-36k or maybe more at launch.

But I've got a one very big concern regarding the temperature of this laptop.Everyone has confirmed that temperature raises to 90 degree while gaming. This seems very high though. Won't this high temperature reduce the life of this laptop drastically? I'm going to buy my first laptop and this is the biggest doubt in my mind.

if you game on any laptop, temperatures will touch 90 or even 100. you can't do anything about it other than getting yourself a cooling pad. But at least in this laptop even after heavy gaming, only left side heats up a badly with rest everything running exceptionally cool.

^^ yup sam, first time went for inquiry i saw a brown one. it was kept for display. but i said i need the black one. iam also concerned with the temp (after reading your review) , anybody put some light about crossfire performance in dx11 games , right now dont have games to test.

does gaming performance have a effect from win7 hb and win7 ultimate, it may be noob question but i saw many posts saying win7hb was not good so installed win7ultimate.

and finally those who bought from flipkart which model coolermaster cooler did they provided

I dont think win7hb and ultimate will make any difference in gaming..i personally dont like Win7hb coz its missing the aero theme (transparency) and bout the cooling pad..
this was the reply from Flipkart to my query.. Cooler Master Notepal D-Lite Cooling Pad | Cooling Pad | Flipkart.com

congrats. BTW laminated the lid or the screen? post a few pics want to check the lamination.

Graphics driver is there and usually HDMI audio works so maybe audio driver will work too. but bluetooth, wifi, wtc mayn't work. And finding the exact driver is not easy. Though all drivers are given so you may try installing them.

i tried crysis2 , had some compatibility issues.xp compatibility mode is not for windows home basic . or shud i install windows 7 ultimate ?

yup paid for the W7 license also (part of the whole deal). so better stick to whats given rather than installing ultimate.

Use the 15$ upgrade to Windows 8 Professional offer when Windows 8 launches. It'll have XP Compatibility mode most probably.

seems a lil complicated so will sail with home basic only till the windows 8 comes as said by MetalheadGautham.

i used it with lamination only so can't say.. but i got no complaints., except the windows 7 home basic if it would have been free dos with even 1k less would be a superstar for me. downloading nfs run ,hope it works .

don't. crap game. absolutely boring and way to short.

and i cant think of leaving tf2 XD

available locally for 32k but without cooling pad or extra warranty. moreover FK won't ship to my place

so is 90c fine?

most laptop heats up even more. and i guess 90 is processor temperature so its on the higher side but fine.

Bought this laptop for Rs. 35154 (in EMI installment).. In fact I'll get it tomorrow (with speaker, keyguard, cleansing agent, bag, tata photon +, a reebok shoe)
I'll move to delhi in 24hours (new sem of college).. I need to create a recovery disk and partition the drives. Since this is my very first lappy, any guidance regarding this will be helpful. Also any tips of what settings and changes I should do after receiving it.
I wont get a cooler & will be gaming a lot, so need to buy it. Noob question: whats the difference between a Rs.200 cooler and a Rs.900 one?
