my new laptop ASUS A45VD - ivy bridge

hi all.
today i went to The Mines and purchased one laptop there.
the model is ASUSA45VD,
--pictures taken using my phone. not really high quality. but good enuf i guess :P





CPU : intel i5-32150m 2.3ghz (ivy bridge 3rd generation)
LCD : 14.0' wxga HD led
RAM : 2gb(orginal then got free upgrade)
HDD : 500gb sata 5400rpm
OPTICAL : 8x dvd/rw drive
GRAPHICS : 2gb nvidia GEFORCE GT610
warranty : 2 years

PRICE : RM 2199. 


i got free gift(backpack,wireless mouse,4 gb ram upgrade), and extend my warranty using third-party (1care-plus another rm150).

for time being i m gonna give some review on it.

LOVE
-touchpad.
@it has multi-touch functions make me feel a bit like using MAC book. hahaha
@it can use up to 3 finger inputs.
@functions like open window,close window, see all running applications, rotate picture, zoom in and  zoom out, in/decrease volume level,  three-finger switch gesture manipulation and so on (ive not explored all yet)
Cons : sometimes too sensitive.

-screen
@nice for me HD LED

-speaker
@loud enough for me.love it.

 -keypad
@chiplet style.
 Cons : no backlight, i just realized how important the backlight when trying to type in dark.. huhuh.. easy to get dirty LOL :p

-spec
@Above listed specs are good enough for me ..not heavy gamer.

-design
@nice enough for me. I like simple design.. before buying this laptop, i was looking on Fujitsu Lifebook LH532, design was superb but it not available yet..T_T so take peek on Toshiba satellite P745-1018x .. design was ok but too complicated for me..the feeling seeing below picture is not the same when i see it with my own eyes.  thus i not interested. Last due to performance, budget and warranty i chose to buy Asus.

-booting
@quite fast. ermm i not sure why. is it because of the processor or else? 

  TOSHIBA : another reason y i dont choose toshiba..because i want to try
new 3rd generation of intel processor....



                        FUJITSU : this is SO YUMMY with red Colour T_T oh my why are you not in malaysia yet!


HATE :
 -battery
i guess average battery for nowadays laptop is 2 hours. Maximum i can go with this model is 3 hours(MAXIMUM), i test on watching videos,   internet surfing and heavy downloading..hvent try playing high graphic games. only use battery save mode to get this 3 hours.

-heat
 can feel some very less. 

-camera
0.3 megapixel.very lowwwwwwwwwww for me. not satisfied ~ huhuh..


i dont know. haha thats all for now i guess .. :P

so ll update and give review on it 5 months later :).InsyaAllah(if God willing).

  1. Great choice for a new laptop! This is one of my favorite brands. I love it for the simplicity and elegance of its design and also for its clear and crisp graphics. It also has outstanding audio/speakers and does indeed boot quite fast. It’s a popular brand, so it won’t be hard to find parts for repairs in case that happens. However, this brand is known for being very durable, so I don’t think you need to worry about repairs for a few years.

C# Serialization Tutorial Part 1 : Serialize object in file stream

Hello Peeps. Came across this topic while doing our game saving data feature. this post only cover basic serialization. basically serialization help us to convert our object into stream of bytes so that our object can be stored or transmit over in memory/file/database. before we can proceed with the serialization tutorial, we need to set the user permission to our target folder path. 1. Set the folder path to be accessible and can be override. This step is to avoid our program/apps from throwing unauthorizedaccessexception.    - for my scenario, im choosing the path of D:\SelfLearning\c#\Serialization to store my data file. Right click the target folder, select on Security tab Select on Users and give full control or modify permission to the user. 2. Now we are going to write our code. First we need to setup our folder path. 3. We going to create our file.  In this tutorial we are using FileStream type, other then FileStream, we can make use of MemoryStream i
