bigger bandwidth...

DO we need to charge it 8 hours before starting it up?
Or can charge and directly open it(start Windows)?

Just charge until the battery is full.

hw abt the quality of 4820tg?my previoous acer have overheating problem

i recommend you to get 3820tg instead of 4820tg now that it is available in Malaysia. it comes with 2 fans; 1 for CPU and 1 for GPU. it should have better heat management than 4820tg... it is also cheaper!

Lol . btw 3820tg now got SB a not ?

No DVD drive, no i5 version in Malaysia either...

Of course not, 3820TG just launched in Malaysia, where got so fast refresh new model....

Besides, it's unlikely that they put Quad cores into 13 inchers, Dual core SB's only coming out in March, expect to have more 13 inch'ers with SB by then...

word

WHat are the softwares that I should install and remove(bloatware) once I start my Windows?

Anyone managed to register the 3820TG at registration.acer.com? The product registration page doesn't want to accept my serial number. How do you guys register for warranty?

Is it much different having Sandy Bridge with good graphics like HD6550 comparing to normal core i series with the same dedicated GPU?

For what purposes do u mean?
Gaming would have few 5-7 fps differences I guess

yeah~ for gaming.. other than that shud hv not much difference rite?

erm i need somehelp..why everytime i open my lappy at startup show this..

Really depends what kind of programs u use in ur computer wor.. If normal web browsing dun think u can see any difference... Maybe programs like photoshop got difference lar..

i dont recommend to remove anything if you are not familiar with... having said that, the only program you should not remove is the Launch Manager...

Added on January 19, 2011, 3:39 pmthat is good estimation. i m suspecting that it will probably less than 5 FPS... reason?

fact:

my default 3dmark06 = 7.6k, FPS ~ 20 (in a very heavy game at highest setting)
OC 3dmark06 = 9.7k, FPS ~ 25 (in same game)

estimation:

so, another 2k of 3dmark06 only give me only 5 FPS...
the current sandy bridge with i7-2630 (quad core) + nVidia540m 3dmark06 = 9k
so, if a SB+6550 can achieve 9k, you should expect 5 FPS or less in real gaming improvement...

whatever it is, i recommend for you to disable that from your startup, click Start button, type "msconfig", enter.

in the startup, look for the rundll or anything fishy and uncheck it... good luck!

Anyone using Ubuntu 10.10?

I've quite a few problems running it.
Battery value not showing, ACPI related.

Thanks cow with gun!

But I thought that new laptop's always come with bloatwares.
Never had a brand new laptop so I have no idea.
From there it's been sitting in the box for a week now

So it means Sandy Bridge is good bcoz it can use embedded but powerful enough graphics card while using battery or power-saving setting but if use AC with high graphics like HD6550 the performance is bout the same?
