I believe this model (Aspire 4740-431G32L) caters to budget conscious individuals who aren't planning to do any gaming.  The price is cheaper because of the following reasons:

* It doesn't come with a copy of Windows. So you needn't pay for one.
* It doesn't have a discrete/seperate graphic card; uses the hardware that comes bundled with the processor.
* Has a smaller HDD .. 320GB vs 500GB
* Has only 1GB RAM. This is actually a money saving feature as you can save some money buying additional RAM from 3rd party retailers rather than getting the original one from Acer.

Any person who says 64 bit is Beta is seriously confused; pure utter rubbish. Windows 7 - 64 bit is as stable as they come. Since Vista, I have been using 64 bit of versions Windows and that's for more than a year. I can tell you that it's rock solid and is very much less prone to getting severely infected by malware. Then again, one does not need 64 bit unless they have a real need for 4 or more GB of RAM. Still .. since this is a laptop we're talking about, the more RAM you have, the better.

Anyway, I just bought my 4740-431G32L today. Had the fella top up the RAM to 4GB and paid RM2300 for it. I didn't bargain with him. So, I believe you guys should be able get a better price than I did.

QFT...

Yes, supposed to be this kind of price...i guess the salesperson just dumb rclxub.gif...its not even a legit Win 7 to be at that price shakehead.gif..

Like sUBs did, not even bargaining can get RM2300 (which i guess is Linux OS smile.gif)..so i guess VGirl should have paid a bit more lower than this nod.gif

Where's your area? And what type of free gifts can one expect apart from skin protectors, usb hubs and some cheapo mouse? IMHO, it's wiser to discard such gifts in favor of buying from sellers who are reliable.

haissshhhh...ya ya i got it now..mine is 4740 not 4740G, understood

damnnn nice! no wonder i was so confused that time..if only ive found this thread before..ive done research on what laptop we shud get from this forum, and we narrowed it down to dell or acer (aimed for core i version) when we reached lowyat plaza that day..all like wasted nie. its been years since my last bought laptop/pc..am catching up now

ive tried to call my fren (da shop owner) but too bad he's now out for a vacation in bandung..again so sweeetttt!!!

cant really tell how guilty i am now for my dear fren..i hope he wont found out about this atm haha (coz he know nuthing when it comes to it gadget). errmm...is the intel graphic card nice enough for light gamers? can the graphic card be upgraded later, how much is da nVidia? i believe it will even exceed da original offered price here huh?i was meaning to get da 4740G actually coz i can get discount approx less rm200..instead i paid more for a lower spec!! sigh sigh sigh vmad.gif


now im thinking for a deal with da owner once he came back. i dont think its possible for me to swap my 4740 with new unsealed 4740G rclxub.gif da laptop hasnt been registered online yet. or he might being too generous to return some money back, or perhaps he can top up for extended warraty for me? am i being too ridiculous..or demanding? any advice.. icon_question.gif

Talk to your fren (the owner)...maybe can swap with 4740G...Intel is NOT games friendly, usually just normal games or maybe some graphical games can be played with Intel GMA smile.gif

@D_Ace
Can you list down the spec...issit 4740G or 4740?? Be differentiate both as one comes with dedicated card while the other with Intel nod.gif

If you're getting the pendrive and 2 years (1+1) warranty, RM 2484 sounds reasonable

Are you sure the 4740 is Intel Core i5??
Here in JB, we got 2 models

1. 4740-331G32Mn - Core i3 330 2.16Ghz, 1GB RAM, 320GB HDD, Intel 4500M - RM 1999
2. 4740G-432G50Mn - Core i5 430M 2.26Ghz, 2GB RAM, 500GB HDD, Nvidia 310M and Windows Home Premium x64 - RM 2499

There is no Core i5 without Windows and Graphics Card. I bought model 2. In my opinion, For extra RM 500, u get original Windows, More Ram by 2GB, more hard disk by 140GB, Faster processor by 100 Mhz, Dedicated Graphics Card, and A processor which supports turbo-boost (Core i5), Core i3 doesnt. So, all out there, if you got the money, 4740G is the better Deal!!


Added on February 2, 2010, 2:18 amSorry, my mistake. I didnt realize that the model you are discussing is Aspire 4740-431G32L. tongue.gif

Hi guys,

Please be reminded acer has created a recovery partition on the harddisk (for all preinstalled ACER OEM windows) thus if you need to reinstall your windows, you can access the recovery partition via ALT+F10 from startup or acer erecovery management from windows.

At the same time, it is adviceable for all users to burn out their own recovery cds via erecovery management. In the circumstances that the HDD needs to be changed or fully corrupted causing the recovery partition to malfunction, you can always use the recovery disc you burnt to reload back your windows and default software including the drivers.

If you have got further enquiry, please do message me and i shall get back to you at the soonest.

Thank you for your attention.
