this one.. the 524g50, i think... cause i read thru the specs and same as my lappy.. why? izit not worth it?

hmmm i juz wanna know only. hehe... as i mentioned juz now i lazy to read previous replies. so i duno whether the spec with the price of the laptop u bought worth enough or not. hehe..... pai seh

so, what do u think of this lappy??

hmmm ur words may have some mistake, i duno which model notebook u listing. is it Acer 5741G or 5745G? if yes, then for me it's quite good, good processor, good graphic, good ram, good wireless card, but not enuff good on warranty. hehe.....
btw, so far ppl buying Acer these few notebooks juz becoz of performance is good enough + cheap compare with others. hmmm the reason some of the ppl disagree u buying Acer juz becoz previously all Acer product S***S, every user have trauma on it (sorry my english is bad). so once they listen u buying ACER, definately they say NO to u. haha..... hmmm i juz joined LYN 1 month ago, and i'm not pro on notebook with i dun have a notebook, wat i said juz i read most of the topics here, get understood it and do my comment. haha.... my comment not really so important becoz i juz follow their view and i juz say Ooooo, okok. wat they said i juz follow. haha..... what to do? noob ma.

High-definition audio support

This two laptop speaker has lots differences?

does ati 5470 has any drivers?

may i ask if Acer Aspire 5740G-524G50 is a discontinued model?
... and replaced by Acer Aspire 5741G ?

what's the upgrade or difference between these 2 models? anyone care to share please

Mainly on design and GPU from ATi HD5470 to Nvidia GT320M

I don't think so,laptop speaker almost the same except if 1 of them using altec lansing and others with etc should be different.

Yes,you can refer to Acer service and support side to download,or go to ATI web for driver.

The upgrade only Change the GPU from ATI HD 5470 512mb to Nvidia GT320M 1GB.
Thats all,nothing slightly different just more memory and faster a bit only.

hello i nid this laptop please contact me KL,SEREMBAN 0102961701 below 3k
fast...

ya yaya...i think acer's past reputation is really bad...i got one bad experience with acer notebook also...not stable at all...

Well,what we we can say there are a lot off different products in the market.
You can hear that Acer is cheap with high spec provide but quality bad~But they did some of the Acer user use it without any complain.
Just like there are people say that ATI GPU is provide with high performance in a low price then Nvidia GPU.
They say that ATI is bad in quality and Nvidia is good.....I think it's depends your luck....nothing can be perfect...
Just get which suitable your choice and your budget. If you want the best then don't complain about the price,pay more and you should get the better

agree agree...mostly depends on luck...and yes...this world is kinda reality...pay more and most of the time, get better

Sharing Experience: After a day of soldering/experimenting/updating....
Should you require a 2hd hdd and not your DVD-ROM with your 5740G get a caddy (pic below) and update to the bios 1.16 and 1.22 (not 1.09 or I presume, 1.10). Any bios other than 1.16 will cause your notebook to hang on start-up.

The bios is not perfect, you cannot (F12) select to boot to the 2nd drive or have it as a primary boot drive, but it works as a secondary drive, in which I hope it can still hot-plug (still needs to test).

I believe Raid is not possible.... a.t.m? (bios or chipset limitation?....)

I have a unit of Acer Aspire 5740G-524G50
won it from a charity event last month...

just wanna seek u guys' advise whether
1) i should keep it or sell it?
2) if sell it, what fair price can it fetch?


Thanks in advance for ur advice bros.

2nd hdd running Win7 in the DVD-burner place.....

FreeDOS version but with 3 years warranty would do nicely.
