so for Malaysia....
1) there's only the 2 versions i posted?
2) is there any newer or different packages?
3) how do i get them to upgrade ram to 4gb?
4) I have to buy from their resellers?


I saw on first page "battery care or battery bar". what's that? dont the normal generic windows have the battery icon already?

1.) The 4820TG has couple revision, from i5 430M->i5 450M->i5 460M->i5 480M (current), 3820TG only i3 380M
2.) Yours should be the latest..
3.) Buy the ram and slot it in?
4.) Nope..

BatteryCare/BatteryBar display more detailed info for the battery...
*
for RAM, I seen from first few pages that although ram is DDR3, it only runs at 533mhz or something like that?

can explain further? thanks.

Since the Acer only utilizes dual core, it will only support up to 1066MHz RAM, and since its Double Data Rate (DDR), its will actually run at 533MHz x 2 = 1066MHz..

So, if you buy 1333MHz RAM, it will downclock itself and run at 1066MHz, but if the price is same with 1066MHz, better get the 1333MHz...

but by default, the 2gb ram that they give is 1066 or 1333? should I buy back the same to match or diff mhz also can? any disadvantages?

guys.....I see from advertisements, billboards and etc, Acer says that the timeline series can last up to 9 or 10 hours and yada yada. Is it really true that the timeline series has a bigger battery than normal laptops?

so the only thing which makes this timeline series different is 6 cell batt compared to normal 4 cell batt for normal laptops?

but i thought some laptops comes with larger battery which juts out at the back?

recommend to get 3820tg, light and smaller but with same capability with 4820tg. on top of that, it has a dual fan cooling system. i m using one, very pleased.

so 3820tg has 2 fans. one for cpu, one for ATI.

4820tg only one fan which has to cool everything?

how bout the new and upcoming timelineX? also the one without dvd has 2 fans and with dvd 1 fan only?

Yup.
3830TG will have one fan, the other side is occupied by HDD..
*
huh? this is confusing. new models would be 3830tg and 4830tg.

3830 no dvd but 4830 has dvd drive.

3830 2 fan, 4830 1 fan?
