QUOTE(gome @ Nov 14 2010, 05:39 PM) good battery life with similar specs - afaik none at the moment  . but good battery life with lower specs, probably Asus U45JC (8 cell battery). but no one's stopping you from buying the 4820tg. if you like the battery life + price + looks, then consider the 'overkill' specs as an investment for future light games  . go test it out at the store, because it will answer most of your questions (build quality, heat, lcd glare, keyboard flex, etc.). but im a newbie... girl sumore, all the shopkeeper always neglect me n cant understand tech stuff.. how am i goin to test laptop more than 1hour to test the heat  n i cant reli differentiate build quality, listen to pro n user in lyn forum onli... |

wear the bunny ears in you avatar and no hot-blooded salesman will neglect you... hmm, if you can find a shop that has the 4820tg on display (may not be possible now since many places out of stock), then you can try it out. the display model have been switched on for at least a few hours, so it can give you a general feel of it's heat (idle temperature, in an air-conditioned room). if you're daring enough, bring along a movie for a "test drive"....it should raise the temperature within minutes |

@k-bkeat: if temperature and the spec seem overkill, try using ONLY intel GC. should meet your exact requirement for light gaming and surfing.

@k-bkeat Manual switching is better in my opinion  @CloudEx But when you don't game you'll switch to Intel HD Graphics rite? It's okay if you do.. |

@CloudyEx: i m getting around that temperature too, so, i guess it's normal
@k-bkeat: when not gaming, and using Intel GC only, i got like 40-48. others with 4820TG also reports about the same.
