Question from Lauren: Asked on 05/07/2008 Does this laptop have a fingerprint reader? As it looks like there is one in the picture, but it is not listed in the specifications.
Question from Daniel: Asked on 02/07/2008 Ok I queried about the graphics card built in with this Laptop[Asus M51SE] a few months ago asking how you change the VRAM or if you could. You replied saying that it should be possible but wern't sure. Over that time I have been trawling the internet looking on how you do it for the specific ATi card as it isn't as convient as my laptop before were you only had to press F10 on start up and change it there. I have read provided help guides but still can't find a way to change it as I am really needing more to play such games as Assasins Creed and make others look better. Now I also ran a test on canyourun.com and it stated that the VRAM could go up to 1Gb and I was hoping that you would be able to find the way to do this as I haven't been able to find it myself. By doing this not only would you be helping me greatly but I would respect you dearly for helping out and consider buying my next laptop from you for the third time as laptopsdirect is an amazing shop!
Thank You very much
