hmm.. i dont like the keyboard. i like my XPS1330 keyboard better as it is much sturdy and firm.

however, typing with 3820's keyboard is fine, in fact, it could be even more effortlessly... i mean it's light to press with...

it is gaming with this keyboard i dont like... especially the puny directional key...

Did anyone over here bought 4820TG or 3820TG from Evernew in PJ Digital Mall? They say warranty's price can't be deduct, it's fix. Is it true?

may i know known problem of Acer 4820tg? like build quality and so on..is it reliable coz some say that Acer laptop is not reliable compare ot other brands.

list of reported problem (out of 69 pages of posts):

1. key fall out (Gome)
2. Cant boot up (KahVII)
3. Dead pixel (fixgd)
4. Poor build quality, poor keyboard, poor wifi, poor cooling (nicotine)
About (4), you also should read further clarification here

Overall, i'd think there are very little problem with 4820tg. Bare in mind that most of us just use it for less than a year...

For someone who has been monitoring this thread since the begining, I'd say 4820tg is a great machine. (and 3820tg is even greater... may be i am bias )

Hi everyone, I have also been looking at prices for 4820TG .. got quotation for RM 2.7k for 8GB ram before CNY .. waiting to see if price will drop further

How much does it cost? the cover?
I was looking for one at the Mines just now but couldn't find any.
They only had for Vaio's.

That price is robbery LOL

Haha^^ Mine 1 just cheap cheap rm5 stuff only... just to prevent dirt or dust...

I had just get my 4820tg yesterday and I was shocked to see 80+ background processes(after cleaning all those junk program).What the..??

This is my first personal laptop,so i don't know whether it's normal for a laptop or not,since my desktop have only 40~50 processes at most!!

Its normal for the pre-installed OS notebook...
Though you can make it 40-50 processes as well..

Duh...I tried my best to discard all junks and yet to vain.Too many processes unknown to me are running

You need to keep Launch Manager, its for the shortcut keys....

List of the unknown processes ?

As you see,I only run firefox,and my RAM is already 50+% ate up.And the rest are processes which I don't recognize.

Well, you haven't uninstalled the Acer apps, burn the recovery disc first before uninstall the acer apps to backup...
There's also Intel Rapid Storage, can just uninstall it
The Realtek control panel, can just disable it from startup..
Then go to control panel, java, disable the auto check for update or just disable it from startup..

Sorry,bad connection,have just edited my previous post

50% ram is normal, Win 7 will try to cache and use the ram as much as possible...
Mine currently is 45%, and that's only with 51 processes...

Another one is, go to Google Chrome, open the options, "under the hood", untick the automatically send usage statistics..

51processes??@.@..so nice~In my case, is it harmful to the laptop?for running so many processes all the time..
Having hard time to cut down-.-

Not really harmful, just more resources being used, that's all..

i bought my 4820 from them, they offer me rm168 for 3years warranty by them or rm198 for 3 years warranty by acer..even if the warranty's price is fix, u can always nego. from total price...

thanks for the info~~ Think of purchasing thru credit card or thru cash..
