Has anyone tested the hard-drive latencies and data transfer rates before and after the new drivers? Is there a performance hit anywhere? Sounds like there is, at the expense of curing the brrrr?

Duplicated thread. I posted here:

The issue would probably be more to do with heat. Computer components don't like heat (none more so than laptops, where the circuitry is so densely packed into such a small space), and people often say the hotter things run the shorter they'll last. So it goes without saying, keep your laptop as coo...

I have very significant problems with the speakers on the laptop. For some reason they're becoming increasingly distorted, like they've been trashed, and are now relatively unplayable. Admittedly they are little speakers which would naturally be prone to being distorted if overdriven and thrashed to...

The interference sounds akin to a constant stream of high pitched radio-tuning or PCM modem type noises in the background when I listen to music from the headphone-out socket but, very strangely, it's only there when the laptop is in full speed mode (2GHz). When you hit the "silent" button...

Last weekend i have swapped the two samsung hds for two hitachi 7k100 7200rpm sata hds. (apm set at 254/disabled using hitachi tools) I have been using the laptop all week now..... I have played big .mp3 files / captured dv material / watched movies and i can confirm... no more lags! Not a single o...

Zahoor, that reply missed the goal mouth by some several football pitches. Completely irrelevant garbage.<P>Alextote, there is nothing wrong with your laptop, and there is no need for additional programs.<P>Go to Start > Settings > ControlPanel > PowerOptions, then select "Always On". Then...

Hi, I remember reading that a TV card would be released for the Amilo M3438/M4438 by Fujitsu in the third quarter of this year (2005).<P>Can I ask if this has been released yet, please? If so, what is the product name/number, and where can it be bought from (UK)?<P>Thanks!

I wondered if ever there will be an unlocked BIOS for the Amilo M3438G? I'm used to being able to tweak things to optimise computers for strict, specific duties alone.<P>The laptop itself is being used for high-performance music production, in this case.<P>Thankyou

I would also very much like to know!<P>Thanks

Hi Cobra.<P>I'm sure I read somewhere that a 12-cell battery was an option for the M3438G?<P>I hoped to keep it all together. The "Akkupad" looks like it is taking a hammer to ***** a nut. We shouldn't have to resort to these measures to have a decent run time (say, 3 hours).<P>I am having...

Where can I get one from, and how expensive is it?<P>I'm based in the UK<P>Thanks.

Anyone?!

Which laptop model?

Thanks, I'm after the 17" screen of the M3438G if possible, though.
