chweitan : wherever u go, remember dont go 2 viewnet in low yat at 3rd floor. the price i got ther is much higher den other shops. i bought it 2 early, din knw d market price, so the took advantage on me.

Since some are asking for 3D Mark scores. Here i wiill provide you all. Reviews by me. Hehe.. 
1st test. Default Settings

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.

i bought it today.rm2480 with free gift.i went to ask at pc zone they give me the price rm2440 without free gift but when i decided to take it they only tell me out of stock.so i bought at 3rd floor opposite the viewnet stall!! so far so good.btw i dunnu how to set up wireless router,anybody can teach me?

@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?

Well, all know that 1066Mhz FSB just a level bar...even a 667Mhz is more than enough lor...1 model cannot start with Win XP, did he do the installation right in front of you?? Or he just showed one with XP that cannot boot-up ...what error??

Agree with the post above me stated that, the seller want to clear all 4736G before start selling 4740G

@chweitan
I bought my 4740G with 2gb free upgrade at Boulevard IT kuching. But i think there should have some places that have the promotion. Mine came with some freebies too. The laptop was on promotion. The items i got was

2. Laptop skin
3. Keyboard guard
4. 10pcs DVD-R
5. Bag

8. RM20 Shell voucher (for minyak and that day my minyak was nearly empty)
9. +4 usb hub
10. Screen protector

thx for ur reply,mostly will go lyp this friday, hope to hv a good deal thr..

Hi there, i had a problem with my Acer 4740G. I was not using the computer for a while, and then computer screen suddenly turned dark. I thought the computer went to sleep. However it does not respond to clicks, and key presses. The only solution is to force shutdown the machine using the power button. It happened 3 times, yesterday. I thought it might be some issue with Acer hardware going overheating etc.

However, today there is a new update for Windows 7. (27 Jan 2010) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/977074

Reliability update. One of the fixes is;


Also, for those who likes to put a blank desktop (solid color) - like me, the logon will take 30 seconds due to a bug in Windows 7. There is an update for that too,
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/977346



This is however a hotfix and not distributed using Windows Update. You need to download is manually.
Since i experienced both the above problems, i everyone update their laptop after purchasing, immediately

Cheers

Hi. i m posting this comment with the acer aspire 4740g itself, the RM2499 model.

to b honest, the performance is so so only, especially with the given hardware specs
1) response time is slow, example there is minor freeze opening programs, u cant see instant click and appear situation
2) i5 means 4 cores? but burning the recovery disc make me almost impossible to surf nets with applets and java templates........, like youtube etc
3) too many junks program like the built in games and useless utilities actualy slow down the performance, while alot of the programs are trial only, it takes up unnesscary space too
4) hardware spec may seems tempting, like multitouch pointer, 720p webcam, dual layer dvd ram etc but it takes me almost 1hours ++ to fnish burning the 4 recovery discs.. the webcam resolution is just 640x320, while the pointer is not responsive like in macbook..
5) for gaming i think it is a big NO since it takes so long just to startup simpleprograms like browsers, even microsoft office

will write more when i get to use and explore more with it
