Just got myself this baby today.

Really happy with the performance, and the screen color is just nice, some kind of light blue-ish, looks fresh.

What I like about this laptop is the numpad on the keyboard. If I'm not mistaken, seldom laptop come with numpad together with the keyboard.

which make us hard to buy a keypad protector haha

That's why, but I won't put keyboard protector on my own laptop. I will just go and buy a kind of sticky product that comes from Apple, it can helps you to clean out the dust inside the keyboard.

Hmm... I'm thinking of buying this laptop... seem to be fairly cheap for the specs.. though it might take a while... budget might be off since i hit a treler with my kancil... i_i

How about heat? does this thing heat up easily? O.o

edit: hmm... don't want to make another post so.. does the laptop only comes in Blue? or is there any other colour

Depend, if u are a gamer.. then it will get warm

so based on what other people has already posted this won't be so good for those who game a lot? in that cases in terms of gaming would the dell studio 15 be better?

Only blue.

Its not like that, for any performance notebook ,you should expect some heat from it,
in term of gaming performance, the dell studio 15 would have similar performance since the ATi HD5470 is just a rebranded from ATi HD4570...

Its not a mere rebadge; HD5470 support DX11 (although it doesn't matter much because its entry level) and have higher core clock, 750MHz vs 680MHz on HD4570. The memory clock so far is the same, which is 800MHz DDR3 although it could support GDDR5 memory but I doubt any manufacturer will used it to save costs

rm2999 included genuine windows and microsoft office ma? and if acer laptop got problem who should we refer to?

sorry if i'm asking stupid questions.. i'm new

Only windows
Office need to buy separate.
Refer to Highpoint

how about its after sales service? bcoz i'm going to buy a laptop.. this laptop seems not bad, but many ppl giving bad feedback about acer.. well u know...

Well, I can't comment much as I had never send my Acer to a service center before...

There are open source alternatives to MS Office. Try Open Office for starters. Free and pretty darn useful

U got GPU sensor?

you can use hwmonitor(if support) or gpu-z or everest to check the gpu temp...

my 5740 dun have GPU sensor.. cant detect or wat
