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!!

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 )

That one diff processor-lah & diff RAM..cannot comapre likdat-lah

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..

Tnx alien3d, din know you are comparing acer 4736 earlier..

On blue ray, I probably dl gompalyer..was told it has blue ray codec.. ..Still trying google hard on setting the LCD TV screen monitor...lotsa ppl having similar issue but so far no real good explanation on how to adjust...those guy just say adjust manaully but How? I try going to control panel, adjust projector size but fail...

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

The ATI card in your setup really bring-up the score..Noted that the high RAM probably on the 2GBX2 u having compare to mine (1GB -Acer ori DDR3 ram + 2GB Kingston DDR3) ?....That's a nais hi-end notebook u hv

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...

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...

Yes I hook the converter to the black coloured hole..only the effect & music out...I fput on the pink hole only the conversation out!! Haizz...I will try to tweak the realtek sound controller Tonite..currently on 5.1 surround! hope tweaking to only stereo works..

I was told no effect if upgrade to 4GB...I wanted too but the seller say no point..so just 3GB now..

Should hv download the 64bit win7 earlier instead of 32bit..haizz...what to do I DL & installed from the same CDrom I used for my desktop..dun wan the miserable days of DL win7 b4 completion...

Not only fast super fast..pawned my Home PC running on better processor too (C2D E7200!!)..

Added on June 20, 2009, 9:56 amI found the solution to the weird sound output from blue ray movie..I din install DTS & AC3 filter...Another DTS/AC3 filter installed & now I can play & hear the Dolby stereo 5.1 sound now...yeah..enjoying HD blue ray Transformer y'day...yeah...

Wah just a bit of tweak from T6400 to T6500 and price increase to RM2,399...not worth it!! 2 weeks ago this unit is selling at RM1,999 wth all the freebies...and RM1,899 without freebies..and u trying to get this at RM2399?

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 ..& 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!!

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..

OK-lah not much diff.. but honestly without bluetooth realy suxx...Imagine everytime need to connect using cable to my h.phoen isntead of BT my photos & files..much easier.. .

Where i sthe other 4736..I can't find the one u mentioned? If yes definetly will merged both
Sure or not yours died? Anyway this model is so new & latest...if died also is under warranty no meh?? Mine still kicking strong & super fast start-up (which the main criteria I'm looking for + the long battery life of ~4hrs! )

Done that but search resulot return different topics..the closest is 4730gz..Appreciate you give me the link & I will merge 2..

Nah..I dun buy those supercare thingy neither...I'm haviong problem wth powersaver button tooi as Win7 cannot install,. however wth the Win7 compartable option, it allow me to install it easily. Vista & XP should not hv any problem-leh only Win7

Done topic merged. Reason why I dun buy the supercare thingy bcos, ori already cum wth 1 yr warranty & I dun intend to use more than 1 yr-leh

I'm lagi kiasu..in addition to the power saver & also low power setting, I go and dim till the minimum...yeah at this setting..can get >5hr!!...din really confirm cos..switch on & off during lunch time...will try possibility of touching 6hr...

For sure the battery life much better than my wife Lenovo s9 netbook...which only can last ~2.5hr ..3 cell battery-lah..
