=.= brand don't matter dude!....

ODM and OEM's are behind it.. dont worry.. Brand stands for their service/support for my opinion.. and so does most notebookreview members.. biggrin.gif

both i suppose.

Parts are OEM Intel, Nvidia, ATI, Quanta, Samsung, Kingston, Hynix, Foxconn, WD, Seagate and too amny more.. dont bother..

build and design? well thats where the brand comes in .. For me i'd be worry on how to take care of it..

Most cases i see ppl blame the brand even when the ram, cpu, gpu, ram, hdd fails.. its not the fault of the brand.. because those are OEM parts..

i still find it hard to believe that it's RM3k, if it comes to that i have to question how are they able to release it so cheap

Market Share bro.. how come the Alienware M11x is coming out around RM2.7kto RM3.3k?
I bet ur gonna doubt that even more.. with an Nvidia GeForce GT335M 1GB GDDR3 scoring 5.7k 3dmark06 biggrin.gif

HD5650 would be around HD4650 - HD4670 LoL in a benchmark.. I think it would be over 4670 though..

the weird thing is i have a friend who dropped his 6935g and i forgot what didnt work.. Highpoint Service exchanged the parts and back to normal LoL.. I wonder what is that? Do they include accidental damage? He did told the manager he dropped it by accident.. In 3 days its back new even replaced the damaged case..

Im guessing the manager just tried to please him.. as i recall acer extended warranty doesnt have accidental damage covered.. But they did state Parts and Labour warranty.. So maybe the service centre claimed it as "normal damage" lol..

Glossy laptops definitely scratches easily.. I've seen an acer 4736 which has suffered heavy scratches on its glossy shell .. =.= i wonder what did my friend do to it.. His backpack is just a normal backpack.. he told me he just dumped it in.. LoL..

Now i see it available on www.acer.com.tw

Acer 5740G
Core i5-520M 2.4GHz(Turbo 2.93GHz)
Intel HM55 Chipset
DDR31066MHz
ATi mobility Radeon HD5650 1GB DDR3

The HD5650 would be better than the HD5470 LoL
