ya 400 is enough
dram:fsb ratio - 1:1

but if consider the price, ddr2 667 is much cheaper

If you don't play games, 4736Z may be slightly faster. If you play games, 4530 will be almost 2x faster. All credits go to the Nvidia 9100M chip. I'm sorry but Intel graphics on the 4736 just sucks some serious balls. But as far as battery life goes, 4736 should last quite a bit longer. I think both sets should be just as hot, with 4736 a little cooler. At idle time though, the AMD set should be slightly cooler.

I've tried running 720p video on both notebook, 4530 hanged after 4 hours+, 4736Z still running smoothly on the 8th hour. Turion + 9100M = HEAT

I allready bought it .My old laptop lenovo (keep sometimes restart itself.Don't even have either what happen).Nobody knew about warranty on lenovo brand.I have lot of friend trouble on hp laptop(high end price,medium price and also low end price).For currenty i buy this because of warranty only add 100+.First thinking back sl400 and when i check back warranty price 1k.Wau?So i 'm using the worst brand before .
For statistic
Adobe Software :
1.Adobe Photoshop(No lag).
2.Adobe Dreamweaver CS3,CS4(Fine no quirck)
** i used adobe premium (legal).I before used pirated software.A bit quirk on software dough.Sometimes slow and eat lot of ram.
Audio
1.Dobly sound Speaker.Only good when you high volume and and have to click and the icon.Per default is not click
Games :
1.I just play dota.
** For advance gaming, buy a pc lor.Even if you buy high end laptop just diffrent was graphic card with the same specfication.Don't waste the money.1k add on can buy you 1 pc good for game .(Before see 900 ringgit acer pc).

did u try usb boot? does it work before entering windows? If yes then it's the OS problem, if no then you can try adjust the bios if it is disabled. worst to worst then need to bring back to service centre.

Centrino is a platform laid down by Intel for maximum compatibility and efficiency among the kry hardware of a laptop...

Core 2 Duo is a CPU manufacturered by Intel...

put it simply:
Centrino = Core 2 Duo + Intel mobo chipset + Intel WiFi adapter

I just got this exact model last Saturday (T6400)..using it and pretty happy owning this...Start-up using Windows7 evaluation copy pretty fast..infact boot-up abit faster than my house desktop running on IntelE7200....

I suspect the speed is due to the DDR3 compare wth my desktop DDR2 PC...Vista score suprisingly high except the Windows aero score of 3.7 ...The Intel X4500 GC is not so good but better than the older X3100..Nevertheless the battery lif is a shock to me!! Under power saver & low screen reso, it can last 4.5 hours!! shocking.gif thumbup.gif

Here is my score (BTW, my package inc free upgrade to 3GB...not really free-lah when u get it at RM2099 instead of RM1999 in LYN cry.gif )

Yeah the DDR3 probably the answer why the boot up & start-up time super fast. Check again y'day & confirmed startup faster than Home desktop PC (E7200-2.53Ghz C2D)..haizz.. now thinking of how to make my home PC faster booting than my notebook!

BTW, any idea where can I get Acer Arcade Deluxe because this model is freedos, thus, they dun bundle wth Acer arcade deluxe capable of blue-ray playback?? I try download from http://komku.blogspot.com/2008/05/download...or-windows.html
but all the downloads failed...

Another thing....how to increrase the LCD screen reso once hook-up via HDMI to LCD TV?..really cacat...LCD screen 1/2 of the usual reso!!...I will try to google while waiting for some expert here..

Blue Ray Play Back
1.4736 don't have blue ray player.They just supply with dvd player.You might try download torrent blue ray to test it out but quite large.5 to 8gb one story.The playback suppose come from intel GMA4500mhd .MHD mean movie high definition playback(asume).

Acer Arcade Deluxe.
1.I try to search in the cd also unfounded.By the way.This software is uselesss.just download codec and used microsoft media player to play movie.

HDMI to lcd tv
1.Sorry,i don't have lcd tv.When i hooked up vga to my lcd screen.Seem fine for dual screen setup.Original 4736 was 1366 * 786.Wide screen consept.I used of 1280 * 1024.A bit weird come to this 786 height.You might to identified using intel application to resize the lcd tv.Try to set 1280 * 1024 or 1280 * 800.

Battery
1.Seem the icon left size keyboard on.When i used lenovo,it had special software to manage the battery.For this acer i don't find one.Itry to download other series acer software for power management.Can be installed to 4736 but the information is useless.What really i wanted to know is how much left battery cycle left(Mac have).

Startup
1.My Old server using Pentium D 3ghz + 2gb corsair ram.4736 boot up faster.My 4736 using windows 7 and server using windows xp.do no 6ghz was slow?Intel should stop making weird processor while performance very bad.If Quad Core ?2ghz * 4=8ghz.What suppose a speed must?

I try going to control panel, adjust projector size but fail... rclxub.gif

Or probably the earlier VGA driver that I install not working?..haizzz sad.gif

1.Intel website haved automatic update for their gma card.Only available for xp and vista.For windows 7 please use windows update.

2.If GMA MHD is right as told.You didn't required codec to playback the blue ray file.

3.Projector?Click left at your desktop.You see graphic properties.There you can change the setting of lcd monitor.Either you can set extend or dual mode.If extends.Your screen more larger.If dual mode.both are equal.To me set as extends.Drag your media player to the lcd monitor.Resize the lcd to your best lcd monitor setting.May i know how much inch your lcd screen.My second lcd monitor was 17 inchi samsung.I used 1280 * 1024.Not a problem to said.

use Vista driver for Win7... they'll work without any problems...

yes, GMA X4500MHD has the codec to play BD, but u still need a player that can takes advantage of the codec, then u'll ve hardware acceleration... iirc not many players support GMA like in GeForce and Radeon...

DDR3 won't give u a significant performance boost... as can see from the WEI score, my laptop has a higher RAM score than urs, and i am using DDR2 800MHz with T9550 (1066MHz FSB)... the bottleneck is at the FSB it self... if it's not raised, even if ur RAM runs at 100GHz, it's still limited by the FSB...

Yes,it more slower then your 's laptop.4736 only 800 mhz fsb.It's just enough to do high work load.Can you post your everest ultimark ram benchmark to see the diffirences.

RAM wise, i doubt dual channel plays a major role here since for ur setup, u still ve 2GB at dual channel mode...

i will contribute the difference in RAM speed to be the FSB...

Just to inform that I hv succesfully enabled Blue-ray playback using k-lite codec, & also managed to tweak the screen reso of my LCD TV... rclxm9.gif

The only problem now is playing certain blue-ray & even DVDrip movies, the right channel speaker (the speech) having very low sound & thus inbalances..meaning hearing all the effect & music on one side & on another side no or minimal sound on conversation...haizz...still tweaking... sad.gif

it's the OS problem... 32-bit OS theoratically can read 4GB RAM max, but some space is reserved as resources for I/O, thus max u can get is abt 3.25GB only...

switching to 64-bit OS will solve the problem...

Don't lor.most software doesn't support for 64.Use 32 bit instead.My client had weird problem on 64 bit red hat(itanium proc).I rather do testing in 32 bit enviroment rathe then use 64 bit os.core 2 duo just have instruction 64 not real 64 bit proc.Real proc is itanium 64 bit.Xeon also 64 bit instruction.

erm... Itanium is not a x86 CPU... sweat.gif u can't compare liddat...

i ve been using Vista x64 for close to 2yrs, and no, it works flawlessly, even more stable than Vista x86... all the games an apps run withlout any hiccups at all... MS did a good job in virtualizing 32-bit environment in Vista x64...


Added on June 19, 2009, 12:31 pmand all the while AMD only say it's x86-64 extension makes x86 CPU to be 64-bit compatible.... the architecture is still x86...

The RM1999 is without Windows O/S, anyway Vista is super slow..just buy freedos & install super fast WIN7 RC version

The RM1999 stall is in front of Maxis ctr on ground floor..I got mine from upstair store at RM2099 cry.gif ..& i tradde all the freebies wth one additional 2GB DDR3 RAm. much better than all the freebies they offered..such as Optical mouse, headset & mouse pad & etc. The laptop bag is a standard gift..& not a gift! If u dun want mouse & headset, they give u RM100 discount.

The vista rating on intel graphic on aero is pretty low at 3.7 but on gaming pretty high at 4.9..so not bad for gaming..startup time is super fast for this machine...much faster than my Desktop running on intel E7200!

BTW, for graphic card, there is another rare version 4736g...but I think it will affect your battery life wth GC. Mine currently on low reso & low speed, battery can last for 4hr ++ tested..last week..8:30am till 12:30pm!!

For the FreeDos version 4736z is more worth it, because the performance difference between T6500 and T4200 is very minimal (you won't know the difference unless you use benchmark apps)
For the Windows version, i recommend 4736 for the free Windows 7 upgrade.

Beware ho..4736z model is WITHOUT Bluetooth....& T4200 is pretty old compare to T6400 or now T6500.

If 4736 wth freedos & retailing at ~RM2K..grab it as Vista is pretty slow compare to XP & Win7..Sumore I think Vista home basic has no free upgrade package from Windows...So u will get pretty old O/S very soon..

T4200 is also 45nm la... but the 1MB L2 is really a big turn off...

performance gain from 1MB L2 to 2MB is actually quite a big leap... considering Vista and Win7 is "heavy" (compared to XP), more cache is still beneficial...

all i can say there's quite a lot of anomalies in the list...

cache doesn't seem to be part of the tests...

CPU with higher FSB actually loses out to those with lower FSB, while other factors (clock, cache) being constant...

worse case is, a higher spec CPU gets beaten by a lower spec one... (look at C2D E7600 ranked 96 and 3 ranks above it, PDC E5400...)

yes, the CPU (especially the desktop ones) could ve been overclocked, but there's no mention of it in the list... i can't call this accurate ranking...

for normal people ,bluetooth,express card,hdmi,esata are not nessary.Some technologies to fast upgrade and change to new spec.
Transfer Picture.
Just pull out memory card to memory reader.more faster then bluetooh suppose.
Clock Speed
There are diffirences wi th core 2 duo and dual core.
Dual Core 1.7Ghz
Total speed :1.7
Core 2 dua 1.7
Total Speed : 3.4 ghz
I do large calculation and i need speed.The most lagging now are hardisk itself not ram or clock speed.7 are the most worst on input output hardisk.

dual core does not mean twice the speed of a sigle core...

it juz means 2 cores each running at 1.7GHz... if the app is not optimized for dual core, it will run on only 1 of the avaliable core at 1.7GHz... if it's optimized, then theoratically u can get twice the performance, running 2 threads at 1.7GHz at the same time...

but do take note that in real world, max performance gai of dual core compared to single core is at most 70% only...

Ya average for buy pc or laptop are 2/3 years.Laptop are same price as desktop on those days.It's pretty cheap to buy new laptop nows.
The problem only now the software price is to high markup.

I know this sounds stupid but since i'm also a 4736 t6500 xp owner, how does the power save work?
When you press the button, does anything happen?

The purpose it just dim down lcd to save battery and check if the battery was 100%,it wouldn't charged more(thinkpad series stick with 90% then of recharge).Windows also have power saving mode.Example below are energy saving using windows 7.

By the way, if you don't want the N and slightly smaller capacity hard disk, consider 4535 in a same chasis, HDMI, Dolby Home Theater

HT only good for software optimize, I don't have the hard number, but it is not like real core 80% scaling.

Many thanks.

err, PC Fair coming in 2.5 weeks times

try to shop at Lowyat, 2nd Floor, Co...-z... , I got pretty good offer there, my opinion, add on 2GB Ram (total 3GB ram), Supercare 1 = 2068myr with CC, last week. (No other free gift)

If you on budget, you may opt for Acer 4535, same chassis, less disk space (250gb), 802.11g only, with Bluetooth different 200myr

try to bargain, usually they can bundle Supercare 1 as well

AMD Turion CPU has roughly the same TDP as Intel C2D T series CPU... but i ve to admit, Intel is better in power consumption when comes to the chipset...

now if u throw in C2D P series or SU series, u ve even more battery time...

Guys, want to ask. Does your 4736, when switch on and off the screen change to white for less than 1sec?? Something like when u switch off TV. I wonder my lappy got problem sad.gif .

So far i seldom use this lappy yet. Because i saw my friend's 4936 is in black screen all the while.

Awesome - 3 years warranty.

Only Rm2299

I bought one Acer 4736G today for my brother and im charging it for 8 hours, just to be on the safe side. I initially was targeting Asus K40I but it was priced at RM2599 with no OS in it and as you all know its spec is very close to 4736G (90% similar spec almost same weight) and has 2 or 3 year warranty if im not mistaken and it runs on 4gig ddr3 RAM's.

On top of that i had another candidate which i helped my fren buy last 2 weeks plus ago is the Dell Studio 15 and yea its whooping RM2699 but it comes with 15"~ monitor and the winner that makes it fat in price is the ATI 4570 512Mb gpu, and vista home basic plus 2 year warranty so its too far from my budget but still i can afford it.

But when i went back today to check the Dell price its now worth Rm2799 then i like WTF shocking.gif i ask y increment extra they sales guy mentioned its the new stock... doh.gif LOLx.

Truthfully i am very skeptical hmm.gif with acer and will not buy acer laptop as we all know the white screen display and hardware issues because i do troubleshoot and PC repair however today i bought one. Y u ask its because it has the best spec + performance with HOT CAKE price drool.gif on top of that I received strong recommendation of its quality thumbup.gif .

So yeah i will let u guys know how is it doing in the meanwhile pls let me know is my decision to buy this laptop is ok or bad. All review is welcomed. Thx notworthy.gif

u could ve considered Asus K40Ab if u prefer to play games... Athlon x2 with HD4570 for lowest i see, rm1899 with freedos...

but i guess, most ppl will prefer to stick with Intel...

ya some oversea version using DDR3 ram module ;( .
But with a different type of processor higher actually

Malaysia have only DDR2 ram module for the 4736G.
which I think appropriate with the T6500 fsb .
This lappy is lower end model for the 4736G.

All 4736Z is using DDR3 RAM, use CPU-Z to check your RAM type.
DDR2 SO DIMMs have 200 pins, DDR3 SO DIMMs have 204 pins.

Perfomance wise, DDR2 and DDR3 no difference, but with DDR3 RAM, you can get extra battery life out of your laptop.
Acer always change/alter specs for their laptop lineup, hard to catch up. sweat.gif

With that price, for sure its worth your money...just use *ahem* windows lor or for now the famously Win 7 RC (or maybe the *ahem* version as well)...

*another way is to make a backup of your system before first use...if any problem should occur, just revert back to the original ones, that should do it..thumbup.gif

Why acer come out with such UN-USER FRIENDLY model. No acer empowering technology(lots of shortcut access), network and volume is disable from system tray(i have to go network property to find wireless router etc), LCD over bright, the minumum is 0 unlike my 4930 series can negative brightness(uncopmfortable brightness and color, cheapo LCD?). My 4930 look more confortable for long term usage and more user friendly interm shortcut access.
I have no complain on the performance.

Btw, i just bought this 4736G. Anyone have idea or suggestion?

LCD brightness is fine for me at lower level, maybe the uncomfortable just for you biggrin.gif

So far the laptop can handle l4d and sims3 with not much problem, just lower down the effect and you can play.

Maybe i used to the 4930 LCD. It is more comfortable compare this harsh one. Acer empowering is a good utility but it is not there especially they disable the network and volume from system tray make me un-easy. Performance i have no complain.

any software you guys used to monitor the temperature, i've tried speedfan, coretemp, and realtemp; but all of them will not update the temperature, it just stuck there and never change.

Some said that the crappy toolbar slowing down their boot. Network and volume disabled from systray..? thats strange. None of the previous models had that done on them.

wat's ur CPU-Z version???

both T8100 and T6500 are 2.1GHz, 800MHz FSB, 45nm... difference is the cache... T8100 has 3MB L2, while T6500 has 2MB L2...

iirc the latest CPU-Z is 1.52...

is it calculated that way? coz there is a 667mhz ram on the market also.
so if i buy those 667 ones then multiply x 2 = 1334mhz ??? hmm.gif

I juz check my processor, it's T6570. using CPU-Z ver 1.52 smile.gif
bro, i think they sell u the wrong model with a higher end processor. Lol rclxms.gif

667MHz DDR (wat u see on the pacakge) = 333MHz (wat u see on CPU-Z)

it's Double Data Rate RAM, so watever speed u see on packages, they ve been multiplied by 2... cuz DDR works in a way that 2 pieces of data are transmitted in 1 clock cycle... so in reality, the RAM works at 333MHz, but since 2 pieces of data are transmitted, it's working as if at 667MHz...

bad news guys,

i juz encountered a dead pixel in my 4736G. so since i bot it less than a week i called up the dealer, but dealer asked me to call acer.

ok, so i called acer this morning. guess what, they told me i need at least 4 dead pixel to claim warranty! what the 'ell, somemore they told me the 'ISO' standard for LCD screen can have up to 7 dead pixel..Wow..ok, so i told them that i bot the lappy less than 7 days with a faulty screen, and u want me to wait until it appear 3 more D.P. only u will change? by the time it got 3 more D.P. my warranty will probably ended -.-

so after hearing my ranting, they passed the case to their manager and promised to call back... let u guys know the result later...

the proper procedure is to deal with the shop, not Acer... since it's less than 7 days... chances are, Acer will reject ur request to repair since they ve stated in their own warranty TnC it's 4 or more...

consider Acer good in the sense that they take in with 4 pixels... most others need 5 before they accept for repair...

go to the shop kpkb with them... they ask u call Acer as they dun want to exchange with u so easily...

nope.Either it was connection or dvd rom issue.There are two type of dvd i found,the pirate one are lighter weight cd while the original dvd quite heavy one.The pirate one easily unreadable/broken after a few times used.I hardly fine good one dvd one or cd for backup purpose.I rarely used dvd anymore.

A Few weeks ago , i go to one event showing the national army doing things at kuala terengganu...Snipering,bomb from mobile transport,shooting.To compare actual sound blasting and CINEMA audio(G.I Joe Cobra( is very uncompareable.If acer wanted to build a woofer inside just to hear head shot of first shooting game.I think the pricy is very dam heavy.Sometimes stereo better then woofer but it still depend on the situation.What i want from all laptop maker was is more watt to speaker laptop,i canot even here what the actor said(dolby or no dolby).

mine also unti 29th july 2012.
Have you try to get from the website or call Acer? Website there showing add RM98 to add on-site service. Subject to area within 50km radius. Addition charge RM1 per km. link

By the way do we still need to show receipt next time if we claim warranty? or they just track with the serial enough?

Original windows preloaded wif acer nb, will always have ms license sticker. if its not there, its a non-windows version. more importantly, look for sirim sticker at the back to make sure its not a parrallel import.

Acer 4736G
Very good spec with good price with 3 years warranty.
Performance quite good for me, very cool and quiet
GC highest temp only at 53c after 2 hours playing Dota. (without cooler)
Build quality, consider solid for a plastic casing.
Battery consider good min 3hours for wifi + surfing
Screen at HD format, but i personally prefer 1280x800 type.
Connectivity, almost all you need can be found at this laptop. HDMI, BT, Draft N

Overall i give 9/10 for this laptop. Can say most value worth laptop in market now smile.gif

i asked them but they cannot reply. Lol
they do update bios. btw, my machine came with 1.06 bios. but i accidentally flash it with 1.05.
the acer website doesnt have 1.06 to download..so send it back + adjust my webcam
*
So it's not acer fault.To me acer shouldn't warranty for it.Please read term before applying the bios update.It's good that acer can help you.Normal mother board can consider bye bye.You try to overclock the laptop turion?Unfaster for basic graphic card.

What's mean by non-windows version? The model is free dos version?
But the box there stated 4736G and can verify the windows at microsoft website oh.


Added on September 1, 2009, 11:01 pm

Acer 4736G
Very good spec with good price with 3 years warranty.
Performance quite good for me, very cool and quiet
GC highest temp only at 53c after 2 hours playing Dota. (without cooler)
Build quality, consider solid for a plastic casing.
Battery consider good min 3hours for wifi + surfing
Screen at HD format, but i personally prefer 1280x800 type.
Connectivity, almost all you need can be found at this laptop. HDMI, BT, Draft N

Overall i give 9/10 for this laptop. Can say most value worth laptop in market now smile.gif

From Acer its either Windows Vista blable or linux. Depends on what dealer ordered from them, its either one.

Vista from Acer will have sticker at the bottom saying, "windo vita blabla...Acer Incorporated"..kinda thing

Does your 4736 ship with Windows Vista Home Premium? If yes, depends on your buy date, you may eligible for Windows 7 upgrade.

Hey, just bought a 4736G recently.

Loving it so far, haven't tried anything major (gonna get Windows 7 soon).

Quick question... how do I make sure my ram speed is correct? Looking on CPU-Z / HwInFo I see 333 Mhz Samsung. This is really not what I was told!
I was told 800 / 667 Mhz. Also, unfortunately the BIOS doesn't show the clock speed.

Should I go back to the retailer and get the 800 Mhz RAM?

Thanks in advance!

Quite sure it is written 4736g in all over the casing (but in system only written 4736)..as i understand the code name g is to shown the lappy got dedicated graphic card...i have checked in the dxdiag (direct x diagnostic Tool) it written


on system tab
system model: acer aspire 4736 (no 'g') can you check yours laugh.gif
memory: 2046mb ram (as shown in my computer properties)
page file: 1206mb used, 3121mb available (is it the limitation on window vista max is 3.25gb)

on display tab
Approx. total memory 1268mb

on the task manager/performance
add up total is about 3121mb

i had read though if you upgrade the vista to service pack 1 it will shown in the my computer properties you have 4gb but only utilities 3.25gb of ram ( http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-23993-m...m-on-a-32bit-os ) unless you using 64 system and not 32 system you can address all the 4gb ram.

the only thing is it because my memory had boost the GPU from 512mb to additional 1268mb? (the g 105m can support until 1791mb) hence it shown 2gb in my computer properties and why not 3.25gb....i need some one to confirm this rclxub.gif rclxub.gif

Go to Acer Malaysia's website then go to the Check warranty section, type in your 22-digit serial no, it will display the model

Your computer properties should display 4GB RAM hmm.gif
Download CPUZ and double check to be sure.

System show 4GB,
Task manager physical memory (MB),Total 3069

I suggest you take back to the place you brought the laptop. Maybe one of the ram is not fit in nicely so it's not detected. Or the worse, the shop cheated you with less 2GB ram.

Actually no way, when microsoft activation. it calculate based on your hardware.When change hardware the coa cannot be used twice.So call microsoft get new key.Change hardware limit 3.That's the quirck of microsoft itself.Adobe easy on activation and also microsoft office.

then get acer lo..not bad the spec also with 4gb ram yrs waranty, hdmi port and win 7 upgrade..kinda attractive liao... unless u heavy gamers... but i really worry the heat produce by asus.. eventhough they say its normal and cpu no problem can stand the high temperature till 100, but for long term, hardware failure may occur also like motherboard...for safe side still go for acer better at least 3 yrs waranty mah..after 3 yrs maybe u also can change new notebook due to the spec not good enuff for daily use already.. rclxms.gif

how long time you use ur both acer? why u like its design o? i dun like the old acer design..so thich and so weird look..but nowadays acer improve a lot especially timeline.. tongue.gif

They cant even tell you what's the problem. sweat.gif
I assume the statement is come from a sales person. Maybe they wanna sell you another higher spec or more expensive laptop. So tell you so.
You may read through 22 pages of comment about 4736 here. As i remember i cant find any major problem people complain about their 4736.

I'm one of the happy 4736 user here:)

I suggest you take back to the place you brought the laptop. Maybe one of the ram is not fit in nicely so it's not detected. Or the worse, the shop cheated you with less 2GB ram.

yep they change the ram to 1+1 gb that why it show 2gig, the acer warranty sticker for the ram has been tampered...but they change it to 4gb ram straight away after i complain (after almost 1 month of purchase)...they do ask about the tempered sticker but i rise my voice and argue a little bit... so i won't disclose the shop name here...

so anybody has benchmarking their 4736g? laugh.gif

You sure it's 4736G??? I thought only specific spec using specific model name only? Like different spec for 4736, 4736Z, 4736G? How come your friend's 4736G with P8800? I thought all 4736G is T6500 with G105M? blink.gif
By the way how much he brought it?

4736G cpu intel T6500 doesnt support Intel® Virtualization Technology therefore cannot use windows 7's windows xp mode.

Your 4736G when you bought? If after June 26 you are entitled to 'free' Windows 7 upgrade.

Have you try to install with 'ah em' vista home premium but use the register key that you have under your 4736G windows sticker? You can find the sticker at the bottom.
But some of you might have no windows sticker just like my friend's 4736G. I also wonder why no sticker on it.

I follow my friend when he buy the unit. I asked the shop but they just say it come with no sticker zzz. We buy it at Low Yat Plaza.
How can they sell the sticker with my friend's vista key on it? Mean others ppl who brought the sticker might using the same key also?

Does your friend's unit comes with Acer e-recovery function? The seller might install 'a-hem' version of Windows for your friend and sell the OEM license. This is a possibility.
