Hi.. i got mine 2 days ago. There are some problems i found out. While i was installing those pirated games, some hang, some just missing file. But when i install original games or what, it works. I dont know if the rest of you expirienced it. Well, since people were asking about games, i can run left for dead at 1366x768 with 4xMSAA and 2XAA and the rest are att enabled and high... i get a reading FPS of 30~40FPS. But i set high performance throught the nvidia control pannel. f i run on Quality i get 15~25FPS only. Will update later once i complete install my CODMW2

Since all of you are intrested in the gaming field of this laptop performance. Let me give u a personal glimpse of what im playing with Ultra high on trees, physx and grass. The rest are on High. Heres a glimpse of Avatar the game with FRAPS icon_idea.gif on to check the benchmark. Check it out. rclxms.gif
FYI this laptop model dosent come with a blue-ray ROM. If it did, i dont think the price will be at RM2499. Thats too good to be true. And also no lightscribe. Its just a DVD-Super Multi DL drive.

Min=5FPS Avg=14FPS Max=22FPS

Pros:
Best bang for the buck.
PhysX helps alot in gaming.
Included CUDA architecture
Comfortable keyboard
Additional shortcut buttons
Runs cool
Has a HDMI output

Cons:
Only got 3 USB ports
Battery dosent tend to last when gaming (max it lasted on mine was 1hours++ MAX)
Should come with a 4GB DDR3 ram

Rate:
From my personal view i give it a 4/5.

These above was just from my personal point of view.

@Eugene91
It supports physX. Dont worry. Why would i waste my time giving reviews to you all if there is no PhysX. That s the feature that helped alot in most part of the game. Imagine if it dosent have PhysX. Sure the games wont be smooth when things blow up or whatsoeva. If you want me to make you more confident. Here i give you a screenshot of the PhysX option that is available in GeFore 310M.

I did upgrade mine to 4GB and it was for free. Since it was on promotion. Buy today and upgrade to 4GB of ram for free. Well, for USB3.0 i dont think its that usefull nowadays. ANd sure that USB3.0 will be expensive. So, i personally dont think that USB3.0 will be added in the 4740G since it that damn cheap with alot of cool feature in the system. What more can we bargain for at a RM2499?

Anyone tried installing some games on 4740G? Im having problems nao. Avatar game was succesfully installed, guitar heroes succesfuly. Some games works on my desktop but hangs on my laptop during installation. Its not moving. First i thought it could be something due to my hardware. So i remove the extra 2GB of ram but it was uncessfull. Still takes a long time to load autoplay. So i put back the ram. And i did a scandisk for error. But there were no bad sectors. So i did a system check. Also no error. Has this gotta to do with SLIC? Cuz the other games were pirated. And i also wanted to change it to Win 7 Ultimate but it hang during copying files at 46%. 2 ~ 3 hours, it still stays there. So i called upon acer just now and they ask me to send my laptop there to check my hard disk. I told them that my hard disk is working perfectly. Scan for bad sectors and corrupted blah blah but its working fine. There is a BIOS upgrade which is 1.04. But i dont think thats the problem.

But when i use scandisk, no errors were found, no bad sectors. Ive done 6 recovery. All worked perfect. Why pirated software and games unable to install. Even when i try to burn some ISO files. Like the games that im trying to install, it fails.
