Currently I only use with my Acer Gemstone (1st edition, white inner plastic)
Using VGA port to be connected to LCD. yes I do wanna run it through HDMI.

I assume you know .ts (transport stream) which tv are broadcasted in. Most of my sources are from Korean HD 1080i channels. They do play nicely on the lappy since not much is compressed and is also a native codec (Mpeg)
Picture quality is top notch. Just that this lappy plays the video in 29.97fps. I've tried Aspire 4737 with AMD turion/Ati GC (not sure). Surprisingly it's way smoother (like 60fps)

Video playback is a priority but also light gaming is too. laugh.gif
Not to mention Video encoding. nod.gif

So I guess the cpu & gpu is more than enough. tongue.gif

2. Laptop skin
3. Keyboard guard
4. 10pcs DVD-R
5. Bag
6. HP mouse
7. Boulevard IT shopping bag
8. RM20 Shell voucher (for minyak and that day my minyak was nearly empty)
9. +4 usb hub
10. Screen protector

The specs are great.

Can confirm my next model is 4745G now.

They say the hang issue is rectified now.

But what makes the RM200 difference between this model and 4740G?
Don't ask me to see the specs..sleep.gif

4745G has better GPU and switchable GPU, so can have better battery life....

So it's the switchable GPU then. Ati seems to be core compatible with Acer. Not sure why.
Thanks. laugh.gif


I wonder when will the stock come. hmm.gif
