    You may also pray for bluetooth transferring files from laptop to cellphone, and pray for not getting ghosting screen...

    Lots people don't know the blue tooth issue because they havn't tested it. Try it and you will see. The ghosting screen is a current issue which the tech has no idea. :asus:

    Congrats :)

    Depending on who you bought it from, some resellers check your laptop for dead pixels a few time before shipping it to you. Have fun waiting ;)

    I bought mine from Gwen at ISTNC. Do you think I can ask him to check for dead pixels and the BT ghosting issue. Thanks!

    I'm pretty sure Gwen is female - unless you got her and Rick mixed up(he's at ISTNC too).

    Also, if they shipped it already, then theres nothing you can do, but ask anyways just in case!

    If you ask the reseller to check first that could be the way to go.
    I asked my reseller Agearnotebook, Frank there checked for me or so he said i received it with o pixel issue so i believe.

    regarding the ghosting it doesnt matter weather you have bt or not read other posts mostly the ones posted by Eddie from gead2play. BTW all resellers are aware by now of the ghosting issue, and more that probably have newer displays.


    enjoy your ne notebook excellent tech.
