my 3820tg has no warranty in Malaysia... i took the risk, so far, i have no regret 

paid in S$, about RM3.4k. i also paid a few hundred for 'shipment'.

not sure how many uses 3820tg (think not many), but i'd say it's generally very similar to 4820TG. to avoid warranty hassle, i reckon people to get 4820TG.

i insisted on 3820tg becoz:

1. i m a sucker for small thingy. i like small things, small is beautiful
2. i travel a lot, 1.8kg vs 2.2kg ...
3. 3820tg has 2 fans...

apparently, the fan controls and heat management in 3820tg is really good. some review even call it perfect.

for me heat is #1 issue that causes notebook problem. i'd like my notebook running cool even without cooler (again, coz i travel a lot, does not make sense to bring cooler along)

U r rite... i choose this because it has 2 fans, and i think the heat management better than 4820T.

Saw this model at Mid Valley, price RM 2599, add 2g RAM = RM 150, 2 years warranty = RM 298.

good for u! make sure u do detail checking on the notebook before u bring it back.

but, arent u gonna wait for 6550? 

Latest one from SG is 460M, old one is 450M...

and you want to pay higher price just for cpu upgrade ?

May I ask which laptop cooler will be better for the 4820tg , Cooler Master U2 or Cooler Master Infinite ?

No, its not marketing gimmick, it will show improvement in cpu-intensive task, but whether its cost can be justified or not, depends on you...

U2 should works fine, since its fan can be arranged...

normal user ? fb - chatting - watch movie , ? any dual core will be fine.

@lee . that too bad then.

Not just intense gaming but other jobs like photoshops, video encoding, 3d rendering, etc...

Nope...
SSD would give better experience

ATI 6550, 6570, Geforce GT 540 3D mark Score.

Try right click ThreathFire and suspend it,
then try read the ISO again...

Yup...

In China, the price of 3820 new spec is RMB300 extra (RM150) compare to old spec. I think the estimated price should me around RM2799~RM2999.
But i am not sure when malaysia will release 3820 series.

Heard that 3820TZG is going to release. 3820TZG different is processor P6100 (current) P6200 (New spec), ATI 5650 (current) ATI 6550 (New spec) and the battery is 9 cells battery. The price is cheaper it is around on RM1800-RM2000, u can choose this if u have price concern.
