just got my 3820tg + 2gb ram + extended warranty = 2.5k
i just read about this, there's an option to buy onsite warranty for 98RM

man after reformatting, you'll need to download the AMD driver from Acer site T_T

walao... hd6550 and i5-480m...

im using it and id recommend it to u as well. the common problem is that if u do a clean windows install by urself (manual install), then u will run into 2 possibilities

1. while in switchable mode, playing certain game will gives u artifact rendering
2. no artifacts generated without using the driver sweeper

i recommend only remove those crapwares to reduce the troubles of using driver sweeper

thats why so tempted to get one.. but i wonder.. with the i5-480 n hd6550.. will be battery life n lasting be affected a lot or not, and the temperature spike that most ppl are worried..

yeah, im worried about the switchable mode

Aspire 5750G is also very tempting with an i7-2630QM and Nvidia 540M

well... switchable enables u to switch ur gpu on the fly and automatically switch to intel when runs on battery to save more power. cpu at 40c is natural when running on power and around 35c on battery, 28c when enters a critical battery state

u always can change into discrete in the bios though. but if u not a mobile person, just stick to discrete... lol

make sure if u do format the lappie,
download the AMD display driver from acer site.
coz the one from amd site doesn't get detected

The 5750G also feature switchable, which don't introduce blank screen/need to close apps during switching

IE9 will be released in 37 minutes from now...

Update: It's available now!

Using IE9 64-bit (default GPU acceleration option), running on Intel graphic, view a couple HTML5 video, surprise.... no crash...

1. go to www.youtube.com/html5
2. Join html5 beta

May be problem only occurs if using Flash? Sorry, but i'd never allow Flash on my IE...

Catalyst 11.3 releasing this week.... will improve performance for Dragon Age 2, which I am now playing at DX11!

IE9 automatically uses Software Rendering because of my out-dated Intel driver

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ieinternals/archiv...ering-mode.aspx

Tried updating Intel driver by disabling AMD in BIOS; Got it working in Intel only mode, IE9 can use Hardware rendering, but cant no longer switchable... then, I reinstall Catalyst 11.2, somehow, Intel revert back to old driver...

Never mind then. May be I ll wait for Catalyst 11.3 and test this again.

i hate intel drivers... crashes everytime

so, on power savings mode , i cant use windows live stuff..

anyway, thats the only flaw , besides the weird viewing angle i get when the screen is lit black ( looks like its oversaturated, but maybe its the LED backlit thing, cause i never really seen an LED monitor up close ) . but when the pictures are out, its perfect.

whats there not to love about the laptop besides the drivers

even the fan on the 4820tg is quiet . ( may not be as good as the 3820tg dual cooling, but heck, its doing its job well!)

noob Q, what is this software/apps?
