If it's any consolation my P34G arrived in flawless condition. I saw flawless I had to use a cloth and some glass cleaner to get all the damned sticker residue off. I'd pay a few quid for a stickerless laptop option. Cheapens it all.

Haha okay. It should be fine

Seeing the other one just put doubt in my mind.

Anyone know if you can set the backlight to stay a 100% all the time? :O Would be nice I think haha.

Yes you can override things using Fn key and Spacebar. It'll stay as set till reboot.

Hi all,

I'm looking at the P25W, can someone please confirm a few things

1. is it really a 7,200rpm HDD?
2. BluRay ROM or RW?
3. IPS or TN screen?

Thanks!

I'm interested to see who else has the P35K. The fans seem to change a lot on it. As in suddenly they will speed up.

If you check the temp sensor graph via the intel extreme tuning tool you'll see if it gets hot it'll dump heat quickly and the temp rises, because the heatsinks are relatively small it just gets hot and dumps via the fans quickly. It's noiser but it goes back to normal temp much quicker, after BF3 it goes down to idle temp in about 15 seconds which is amazing.

Shambles from Overclockers.
I put my order in yesterday and paid, rang up today to check it had been shipped and was told by the agent "this is a pre-order item only, we won't have any till November"

I pointed out that they had arrived and people had been receiving them but the agent wouldn't have it.

As a result I was forced to cancel my order and will be looking elsewhere for the product, shame ocuk you've lost a sale there.
If you want to contact me I am still willing to buy

Which one did you order. Some models are in stock but others say pre order for 8/11/13

They did arrive but very quickly sold out, can only assume you must have just missed out.

Apologies to how you were treated on the phone though, please drop me an email to my personal account [email protected] and I shall forward it onto our sales manager to get in touch with you.

Mine arrived this morning (P35K), thanks for the fast delivery and sweets

Laptop is fantastic. Slimmer and lighter than my MBP whilst being exceptionally faster with a somewhat similar battery time of around 5.5-6 hours. Materials and build quality are good, feels like a proper premium laptop and looks the part. No issues with keyboard, feels and looks like an apple one.

Screen is DECENT. Maybe I'm spoilt by my monitor but it isn't the greatest IPS I've seen colour wise but still pleasing to look at and with solid viewing angles.

To put into perspective how well valued this is as a light powerful notebook, go configure a MBP, realise its over 2500 :rolleyes:

and still not as well specced as this laptop. Its a bargain.

Would reccomend!

Could you guys comment on the P35k noise under load?

Wakinglimb · 11 Oct 2013 at 13:07

Can anyone say design fault?

After 2 non-delivery attempts from DPD, collected it myself... now OcUK have none in stock

glenimp617 · 11 Oct 2013 at 13:50

I can't help but think the Asus G750 is a far better value machine

BlkKnight · 11 Oct 2013 at 14:47

Mine had the exact crease lines (one either side of the ODD).

Does strike me as a design fault.

If this can happen in transport, what's it going to be in real life?

The way it was packed - there was no support in the middle section - just the two outers.

The damage seen is consistent with it being dropped - and then the inertia & impact forcing the bottom of the laptop to bow at the weak points highlighted.

spicypixel · 11 Oct 2013 at 15:11

This is making me very happy to have opted for the P34G, sorry to see that fault happening guys

OK, it's faster, but my god is it a beast. 7lb? and Massive!

XRobbieX27 · 11 Oct 2013 at 16:14

Must only be a few that have been damaged. Mine looks fine. I guess we will just to be careful with them. At the end of the day they are very thin.
