Due to constant and uneccessary anger in the Forum I have decided to put a short list of rules which I hope people can abide by.

BUT first a welcome to all new members who read this..I hope you can find the information you need to maximise your ASUS laptop experiance!
1) This is/should be a open welcoming forum..where new people and old wise guys can come to discuss and ask questions about ASUS notebooks.

2) This means that its quite possible that the same question will be asked more than once (replaceable GPU anyone?) While this maybe annoying its not the end of the world, users you have the choice to NOT reply…if you DO feel the need to reply then:
a) say something nice
b) gently suggest the search feature for more info

3) On the flipside new users please have a read through the FAQs first….and or try a search for the info you want this will often be the quickest way to find info and will help keep the forum more manageable through less repeat posts.

4) Personal attacks or disagreements are not for the forum…nor are expansive personal rants in posts…it clogs the forum which in turn reduces the effectiveness of the search feature. So if you take offense at someones post then contact them directly (im) or report the post to the mods. From now on all personally directed posts will be removed.

5) Take a chill pill. The world doesnt reside inside this forum…if its making you upset maybe thats a good time to switch off the pc and take a walk outside or something.

I think that should just about do it…not quite the 10 commandments =)

Thanks for reading and please play nice

I, like many others have grown tired of answering the same questions over and over (at no fault of those asking), but because the questions are being posed in various off topic threads, others cant easily pick up on them. For that reason Im going to start this thread and include some basic information…. read it, understand it, follow it… get your upgrade! Feel free to drop me a line if you dont understand or they throw back some lanuage you find confusing… If you follow the steps below you should do just fine.

ARE YOU ELIGIBLE:
If you purchased an Asus system which has a full version of XP (Home, Tablet, MCE, Professional) in one form or another (Notebook, Tablet, UMPC), on or after 10/26/2006 you can get this upgrade.

WHERE YOU GO:

https://upgradeweb.moduslink.com/vista/Asustek/

When you get on the page youll be asked what language and country youre from. Then youll click on the big “Windows Vista” button on the bottom. From there youll be asked what version and language OS you currently have. When you make that choice, youll then be given the options below depending on the OS you have.

WHAT ARE YOUR OPTIONS:
When you go through the options, you can pick either 32bit or 64bit. Basically these are the options you have depending on the OS you got with your system:

Windows XP Home Edition:
Upgrade to Vista Home Basic 32bit – $65.00 USD
Upgrade to Vista Home Premium 32bit -$95.00 USD <– If your system can handle it, its totally worth the extra $30.

Windows XP Professional Edition:
Upgrade to Vista Business 32bit – $0.00 USD
Upgrade to Vista Business 64bit – $0.00 USD <– Good idea if you have a 64bit Core 2 Duo CPU but wont update for a while. 64bit drivers will be scarce for a while, so I wouldnt suggest installing this till maybe the fall or later… but will be nice to have for the future..

Windows XP Tablet PC Edition:
Upgrade to Vista Business 32bit – $0.00 USD
Upgrade to Vista Business 64bit – $0.00 USD

Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005:
Upgrade to Vista Home Premium 32bit – $0.00 USD

There is NO Option to upgrade to Vista Ultimate (which I believe will come in 32 and 64bit, and is basically ALL of the added stuff in the business OS plus the media center side of Home Premium)

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:
From there, youll need to pick your model from the drop down list, enter the serial number off the bottom of your computer, enter the Certificate of Authenticity (COA) number (14 digits) off your windows sticker, which is also under the system. Then youll simply put the date thats on the invoice you got with your notebook in as the “date of purchase”. After you complete that order, youll get some form of order number. Youll then need to send them a copy of the invoice you got from your dealer by means of fax or emailed .pdf. Its probably a good idea to mark the order number given at the end of the vista order process on the invoice you send them so that they can easily match up the information. After they confirm your invoice you should see an “Order Confirmed” messasge under order status when you log back into the site. This should occur within a week of you forwarding the invoice.

WHEN WILL YOU RECEIVE VISTA:
Microsofts Vista Fulfillment Center says you will receive your Vista upgrade within 6-8 weeks from your order completion (this is when you get your invoice in to them), after the OS is released in your country and barring any sort of software shortage. So, since itll be released in two (2) weeks from now, its possible you wont receive it until April 1st or later.

COMMON ISSUES:
The paper that is included in your notebook box is simply a form letter explaining the upgrade and how it will work. They were printed before Microsoft got their stuff together. Forget everything youve heard or read to date – and anything that seems confusing on the upgrade site. Take what Ive said above and just go with it… youll be fine.

For good measure, there are three other threads that have these questions have been asked and answered over the last few weeks… you may like to glance over them:

“Digital Home” : These laptops are at the breaking edge of portability and multimedia capabilities. These models are the exceptionally thin and light versions of typical media centers.

Capable Tasks include: Higher level gaming, video and audio playback/editing, and web browsing

Models include: W1, W2 series

“Personal Entertainment Center” : ASUS considers these laptops “Multimedia Stations for Room-to-Room Enjoyment.â€� Similarly to the w series, the A5 is smaller in size than the A7 series.

Capable Tasks include: (Similar to the “Digital Home”) Higher level gaming, video and audio playback/editing, and web browsing.

Models include: A5, A7 series

“Superior Mobility” : This is Asuss line of ultra portables. These laptops are less than 14.1 inches and often weigh far less than 5 pounds.

Capable Tasks: Low functionality gaming, video and audio playback, and web browsing.

Models include: M5, S2, S3, S5, U5, W5, W6 series

Business� : This laptop series is Asuss mainstream (15.4�) portable line. These laptops are large enough to be used as a primary machine or small enough to carry to classes / office meetings. Asuss power4gear technology allows for longer battery life unplugged.

Capable tasks include: Audio and Video playback/editing, moderate gaming, and web-browsing.

Models include: A3, A6, L4, M6 series

Performance� : These laptops are meant for stationary use and occasional travel. They are equipped with either intels power hogging: Pentium 4 or AMDs powerful athlon 64 processor. These computers also utilize atis older AGP mobility radeon series. Because of increased performance and battery life, these power hogs are soon to be obsolete.

Capible Tasks: Gaming (with higher performance), video and audio playback, and web browsing. Short battery life.

Models include: A2, A4, L5 series

Portability� : Asuss version of the thin and light notebook (14.1-15�) weight is also a determining factor of this category. These computers vary in power and battery life, and can be larger rival of the ultra portable series, or a smaller version of the mainstream line.

Capable Tasks: Mid-Upper level Gaming, video and audio playback/editing and web browsing

Models include: A8, M2, M3, M9, V6, W3 series

The First Letter: W

The W in this model number is the chassis style. There are many versions of notebook chassis such as: the “W” series, the “V” series the “A” series and the “M” series.

Each chassis has specific benefits and features. Examples include: thinness, construction of carbon fiber, etc.

Although this is an over simplification, it is a good starting point. You will see that there is a lot more to the first letter than simply a chasis type or style. In fact, this is the most confusing part of the model number system. You will see what I mean when I break it down into the Asus categories.

Now, heres where the exceptions come in:

Although two models may have the same starting number, Asus has still taken the liberty to separate them into different categories. Now this may seem odd, but it makes quite a bit of sense.

To clarify: Concentrating on the popular “W” series, lets take a look at the W2J and the W3J. Although they share similar builds, they are not placed in the same categories due to size differences. The W2J is a 17″ multimedia machine while the W3J is a thin and light laptop. It is not a good idea to classify them in the same group.NOTE: A fourth additional letter can be found in specific models. A prime example is the A7 series from the portable entertainment center category. Rather than create a customizable version of each series, ASUS created lower, middle and higher end models of each. This changes the model number from the A7J (which is a model in itself) to a A7Jb or A7Jc. Often these differing models may offer a better video card or another upgrade such as a larger hard drive as well.

Breakdown of an Example Unit, the ASUS W3j

The First Letter: W

The W in this model number is the chassis style. There are many versions of notebook chassis such as: the “W” series, the “V” series the “A” series and the “M” series.

Each chassis has specific benefits and features. Examples include: thinness, construction of carbon fiber, etc.

Although this is an over simplification, it is a good starting point. You will see that there is a lot more to the first letter than simply a chasis type or style. In fact, this is the most confusing part of the model number system. Because there is so many different types of areas a laptop can specialize in, there is no single model base that a laptop belongs in. To make it even more complicated, ASUS North America tends to rename the unit.

Though, there are exceptions:

Although two models may have the same starting number, Asus has still taken the liberty to separate them into different categories. Now this may seem odd, but it makes quite a bit of sense.

To clarify: Concentrating on the popular “W” series, lets take a look at the W2J and the W3J. Although they share similar builds, they are not placed in the same categories due to size differences. The W2J is a 17″ multimedia machine while the W3J is a thin and light laptop. It is not a good idea to classify them in the same group.

The Second Digit of the W3J: 3

This number differentiates between other various models of the same chassis type. The 3 in W3J separates it from the W2j and the W1J. Generally these numbers have to do with differing screen size.

This is where it gets weird. The W2J is the largest (17″) “W” while the W3J is the smallest (14″), and the W1J (15.4″) will be in-between. WHY IS THAT? You would think the W1J would be the smallest, while the W3J would be the largest. Why is the largest one in the middle?

Now, I am guessing that when ASUS created their first ensemble models in the “W” series, the first model made was the 15.4″ version, the second was the 17″ version and the third was the 14.1″ version. Thus the order of W1, W2 and W3. (Please correct me if I am wrong, just an assumption). The size of the number does not correlate with the screen size in this case.

3rd digit (letter): J

This my friends is the easiest to explain. This is the chipset type. A good example again is the difference between the W3V and the W3J. The W3V is the Pentium-M chipset while the W3J is the Core Duo chipset. Another popular example: V6J versus the V6V.

The most commonly used suffixes are:

Pentium M(Centrino) generation:
–v : dedicated graphics
–a : Intergrated graphics

Core Duo Generation:
–j : dedicated graphics
–f : intergrated graphics

The rest of the suffixes are shown below:

J—- : Core Duo/Core 2 Duo with dedicated graphics[/i]
P—-: Performance(?) Dedicated graphics
F—- : Core Duo/Core 2 Duo
R—- : Celeron M
V—- : Pentium M 700[/i]
G—- : Pentium M 700 ( ? )
L—- : Pentium M 715-765
E—- : Pentium M 740
N—- : Pentium M 855
D—- : AMD Turion 64
K—- : AMD Turion 64 ( ? ) (Could this be the low watt version ?)
U—- : AMD Turion 64 (another wattage difference?)
