There's no CD for windows..

Use recovery partition to restore the pc to factory settings..

Dont expect shops to give you pirated softwares lol..

huh? x cd, means i have 2 restore d windows myself aft d laptop being formatted lo? no wonder microsoft earns big money, dey earn in dis way 2...
'Use recovery partition to restore the pc to factory settings..', how i knw wat u mean ar? i x understand comp language 1. i will find a translator ltr... =)
i can find pirated softwares my own but i hate trial version la, if dey x support pirated, jz say lo, x install trial 1 cz i rather use 2 pirated 1 den d trial 1.
but is d price reasonable? rm2550? i wonder how dey can offer as low as rm2499.

Aiya dont format it la.... Go to the recovery settings and click restore to factory default(thats the format).....

any idea when will it arrive????the core i5 version for acer...pleasee..need news!!!

any pic? benchmark or anything? reviews pls..!!!

Still new.. expect a review in another 1 or 2 month lol..

i saw it today at the time sQAURE DIGITAL MALL THERE... sommore got i3 d version too..

Still not available in lowyat?

As far as I know, Acer doesn't generally provide recovery DVDs with their products. But other companies, such as Dell, provide DVDs for everything from the OS to drivers to the bloatware.

I guess acer saves money Anyways upon booting my system a year back it did ask me to make recovery DVD just in case the Recovery partition on the HDD goes corrupt.. Anyway.. If got problem just use the recovery settings and restore it to factory default

eugene91: if got virus n need 2 format d laptop leh? how? oic...ok...thanks...
the100308: it is ad in lowyat by now, i got it yesterday..
Loki[D.d.G]: oic...ok...tq~ but y acer x provide recovery cd while other companies provide ar? u knw y?
if any of u got dat laptop 4 d price cheaper den rm2550, plz let me knw sp dat i wun go 2 d same place again 2 buy comp things.tq~

2.5k wow thats cheap

Formatting from the recovery partition generally restores your laptop to factory settings. I.e. It'll be brand new again, at least from the software point of view.

Perhaps that is the reason Acer sells its laptops cheaper than other competitors? Cause they do save a buck or two by not providing said recovery DVDs.

Oh Ok thx.. How was the performance?

there's already 3dmark 06 benchmark for 4740G
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=31304264

Low benching score. Wonder about its gaming performance.

I was wondering why with better processor and GPU and ram ( refering 5740), its just a bit better than studio 15 in term of benching score?

Because 3DMark is heavily GPU reliant and the HD5470 is merely a HD4570 that has undergone a die shrink and a moderate OC. RAM speed rarely makes a difference in terms of performance; Thus taking all that into account, the benchmark score does seem to concur pretty nicely. But perhaps with better drivers in the future, you can expect to see a small performance boost, gaming wise.

Don't expect too much though

noobfc : ya...x bad la d price...
Loki[D.d.G] : ooo...i heard dat if format d laptop 2 often, it will spoil d laptop slowly, is it true? another thing, my fren said, if wana get back d windows aft being formatted, v can search it on9, key in d license num n dl d windows in2 a cd n den install it bek 2 d laptop, so x nid 2 buy another ori windows, izzit?
the100308 : welcum~ so far, ok la but when i tried 2 install my streamyx setting (i put in d cd), it said d laptop x have ethernet card. i x ask my frens abt it yet, il ask dem tmr. n oso, d messenger cant sign in 1, my fren told me 2 uninstall d old 1 n den reinstall a new 1, messenger for windows 7. im x good in comp, so its kinda slow 4 me 2 get used 2 it. i x dare 2 touch it much bcz it will piss me off.
