Cheers 😃

I uninstalled both the Realtek and my THX thingy. Booted. Downed The realteak from Asus site, and the THX. Reinstalled both, and booted. And now it works.

There are TWO things i miss from my Toshiba Qoosimo ..
Harman and Kardon speakers (frickin insane laptop built in speakers) and the keyboard.
Thinking about gooing and getting the Logitech z305 laptop speakers tomorow, as a mate have'em - and they are pretty damn good!


Other than that, im gonna go ASUS for live if they keep this awsomeness up, performance wise! My Qoosimo was good, but got hot as ass! 😃

The Kal.

Well....I'm sure Asus would be happy to hear how pleased you are! But honestly, I've seen a lot more people who have problems and complaints about their Asus laptops, and people who've sworn off Asus forever.

I'm kind of in between. I think the basic design of Asus laptops varies a lot....some seem very solid, some seem kinda cheap. But overall, I think their quality control is suspect, and far too many people get brand new machines with issues out-of-box.

I do know what you mean about Toshiba speakers....far superior to anything I've ever heard in another laptop. (The G74 speakers are simply awful....there's no way to sugarcoat that.) But to be fair, Toshiba put a subwoofer in most of their multimedia laptops....the Qosmio included, right?....and that makes an enormous difference in what a laptop can do. It's kind of frustrating what an afterthought the sound is in the G74, because I think there's room in there that would have accommodated a much better design....including a bottom-firing sub.

I think its impossible to cater everyone.

What i love about my asus, is the increadible power and cooling. Im playing with it on my lap, and there is no heat on my legs. Im playing Rift atm, at max settings at good fps, and loving it.
Like I said, the only thin this latpop misses, is a better keyboard (Toshiba satelite / Qoosimo is waay better on that) and better built inn speakers (Again, Toshiba with Harman and Kardon speakers OWN this laptop.)

But still, im bloody well happy!
