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

true. the left side palm rest gets really hot if you play some demanding game (if discrete GPU is on). I felt it cause i use WASD key combos. But thats the only part to heat up so using arrow keys will fix it but that may spoil gaming fun. keyboard never felt warm irrespective of game or not.

hmm..
one of my friend countered it via USB keyboard
but I may not go that far....will play for 1 hr periods

no use. as soon as the discrete GPU kicks in, temperature shoots up. But using arrow keys or some other keys at the middle fixed it. When gaming on APU, laptop remains within manageable temperature but that also means you can't max out on any modern game.

use GParted software
burn it on a CD
boot it via GParted disk

manage your partitions via easy GUI

yea
plus HP is also providing that cooler master cooling pad
the only let down is 3hr battery backup

on the other hand
Samsung --> 5 hrs
Acer--> 6 hrs

iam getting more than 4hrs..in normal brightness....

if you run in power saver mode + reduce brightness to the minimum+ disable dual graphics will give you much better backup( wireless on ) ths will be usefull in criical situation it will be above 5 hr definitly check ths and post back

it shows 7.Xhr remaining if you turn off wifi, lowest brightness, dual GPU off, proccy underclocked at 89-92% battery. Maybe actual backup will be around 6hrs only but still thats more than enough.

yes and i doubt the cooler will nothing but a cheap 200 bucks zebronics pad that doesn't do any cooling.

you'll have to use 3rd party tools to do the partition. read piyush post above.

can't we use the normal version of AMD Catalyst suite? maybe this explains the weird colour that occurred after updating friends laptop.

The AMD Catalyst Software suit didnt work for me...that was one of the many unsuccessful versions i tried...but my computer didnt crash...AMD vision control center stopped running...
if you visit the release notes page of AMD catalyst software suite 12.8,12.6 it is mentioned that

The following notebooks are not compatible with this release:

Any notebook launched after this driver release.
Switchable Graphics enabled notebooks.

while in 12.6 version its also mentioned
AMD Catalyst 12.6 does not support any Mobile APU. Support will be added in AMD Catalyst 12.8.
somehow i got lucky to install 12.6 version...maybe this means 12.8 will install without problems for all..

^^ yes i read that. looks like double trouble for me. downloading the pc version and then the mobility version, though my laptop is still a month away.

Hey i am really irritated by the dual graphics...pls tell me the way how to totally disable 7640g! i never will want 2 use it...i m willing to do any hacking/cracking/tweaking in any way but i only want to use 7670m...i m not a beginner so u cn suggest little tough ways also...
Should I disable 7640g in device manager under control panel? will that help? becuz i dont think amd vison software is any helpful...
cheers,
aakash
