After using it for a day, the letter 'J' key on the keyboard came off. Putting it back, it comes off over again and again. If you take notice, this laptop has a chiclet floating kinda keyboard. Looks a little weak. I went to Acer Highpoint service center (as the shop where i bought the laptop said it would take them 3-5 days for them to send and get it repaired), and they fixed it in under 30 minutes by replacing the key itself. From then, it is OK so far.
Personally I've encountered many cases similiar to what you are experiencing from various brands and models of laptop, it has nothing to do with the keyboard's design.

I have not tried playing any games, and will try soon. I have a question to other 4740G users out there. Since this laptop comes with Nvidia 310M and the Intel 430M Core i5 has an on-die Intel Graphics, how is it possible to switch from Nvidia to Intel Graphics for maximum battery life? I couldnt find any option to that, and i couldnt find any Intel Graphics Driver installed as well, which suggests that the Intel graphics is never used!

You can't switch between integrated and dedicated GPU on this model, there is no built function for this feature.

There should be a recovery mode.. To restore your system to factory default..

Upon starting your pc i think you press F12 or F10(I forgot) many times.. and the recovery console should show up..

Dont do a clean install..(Which is better..) but since you are quite new to computers.. it might be quite hard for you..

Try the recovery partition 1st.. smile.gif
*
Just press ALT+F10 when you start the system.
