Hi user of 3820 and 4820, i am interested to buy one of these laptop, which one is best choice?

any heat at palm rest area and underneth surface where we place on lap?

any complaint on any of above?
*
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.

there is a little heat on the palm rest during heavy load for an extended period of time. but it is just slightly warm, wont be uncomfortable at all. it is a little hot if you put the laptop on your lap thought, especially during heavy load such as gaming. it will be uncomfortable without a thick jeans or something... read more about the temperature here:

http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Acer-A...50.38666.0.html

at its current price, 3820tg is simply the best for its value, cant complain...

oh yea....the malaysia version comes with 2GB of ram right?

normally laptops have 2 slots so the 2gb would be 2*1gb or 1*2gb?
*
should be 1x2GB...

Is there any software I can view my CPU / GPU temperature?
Is there any software I can see the FPS of my games?

P/S : Currently super satisfied with the heat management. The fan is as silent as a grave. Sui~~

As for the sound system, it's consider quite loud for me. It's still acceptable when it's turn to max.

As for the gaming, I will give it 10/10 for a lappy that's 13.3! The GPU is superb! Maybe because I seldom play high specs game~~~  However, I kinda towards performance, not quality, so jagged edge might be seen.

As for the battery life, I don't know if I look wrong, I saw 11hr 16mins at 98% battery. That's my best time ba!

This is a short review from me ba~ [3820TG user]

Nice review. I am sure this will help loyaney to chose his notebook... smile.gif

Most likely need to go to Catalyst Control Center and reduce the scaling to 0% when connecting to the monitor...

What the heck?! We are in low performance! laugh.gif I OC to max, 774/1113, only getting 2203... still just "Slightly Low Performance"!!! Unfortunately, the temperature also crazy already:

Max CPU: 85
Max GPU: 87

At this temp, dont think I'll ever use this OC for gaming... doh.gif

Here's a short post about the GPU/CPU temp while gaming.

I was playing NFS : Hot Pursuit for 15 mins inside an air-con room of 24 degree C while having the lappy raise up by inches.

Setting was as below :
1366x768
High Resolution Texture On
Motion Blur On
Shadow Level High (Highest)
Anisotropic On

Here's the temperature :
Attached Image

Here's a screenshot of the gameplay~
Attached Image

Average FPS : 40-50 ( quite smooth overall, although sometimes will drop to 30++, rarely though)

Hope there will be more games for me to test~ thumbup.gif
