is that for real? that's crazy rm3k for those specs? =O

but then again it's acer...im worried for the brand itself
*
i am (still) a owner for Acer over 4 years...
one thing i REGRET til today..is...
in 4 years....
NOTHING happened no matter how long i open it to download bt/botting online game...
NEVER entered service center for FOUR years...
i regret i wasted 298 for the 3 years warranty...

but then...seriously...brand only mattered when ur preference...is important to have a laptop that you love~

most acers utilize AMD, so overgaming causes heat problems. i only game less than 3 hours a day, and i dont ven use a cooler. IMO, it's how you interpret "laptop gaming" as viable

on t2600 ati x1400
running granado espada ~20 hrs for 5 days, about 3 months...
no problem ever happened...

3 months is quite short to test the hypothesis. plus is depends on the laptop as being work oriented or media oriented. most importantly, is it acer?

yes it is

Technically, people do tend to "buy" the warranty too, so to speak.

For instance, if the Acer being discussed here were to be sold for RM2500 albeit with no warranty, would you make the purchase?
*
while acer warranty is standard, and when we buy acer's we wont expect much more from their warranty then their awesome spec...
Dell is different as one purchase the item, would expect exceptional support and service.
Support as being the point for buying a Dell, for Acer its warranty is all about insurance for the hardware, dont you agree?

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..
*
used for 4 year b4 i got my new s42..never claim warranty..so dunno...
but accidental damage should be reviewed case by case basis...
i trust if the damage is fixable then the service center would be too hard on customer la...
