(i think she's mainly on the intel card) there should be no flicker during booting up. but after you login, sometimes there is. the flicker is caused by switching graphic card.why sometimes? becoz you may be using Intel and shutdown. so, when PC starts, it boot with Intel, but after you login, PowerSmart detected using AC, so, it switch it automatically and vice versa. |

QUOTE(gome @ Oct 24 2010, 09:23 AM) To those who feel the OS is too sluggish for your liking, I'd recommend doing a clean install of Windows 7. Simplified to the 3 steps below: Super useful post. My Win7 seems very sluggish and unresponsive. Sometimes can't even shutdown properly (stuck at the "Logging Off" page)...1. Use the Acer eRecovery to create: -The recovery DVD (3 DVDs): these DVDs will help you restore your system to factory default state, in case you screw up anything. -The Application/Driver DVD (1 DVD): this DVD will contain all the drivers and applications from Acer (including bloatwares like games) -This whole process will take about 1 hour+ 2. Use ABR (Activation Backup and Restore) -This will backup your Windows 7 key (different from the sticker below the laptop) and the Activation Cert -Save these files to a flashdrive and you will need to 'apply' it to activate your freshly installed Windows 7 later 3. Perform a fresh install of Windows 7 -If you have a Windows 7 64 bit DVD, then it is easy - just boot from the DVD and install Windows the usual way -If you don't have a Windows 7 64 bit DVD, then there are ways to get it. -This whole process will take about 30-45 minutes Note: I am not responsible for any damages to your system that may result from following this guide Anyone else has such similar experience? I'm gonna reinstall a fresh Win7. Fingers crossed the issues above will be sorted then. |

Hi guys, just got my Acer 4820TG at Digitmall earlier today and this is my very first laptop I've owned.
Here's a newbie question I'd like to ask.. if I plug for AC power with the battery inside, would it damage the battery life or is it fine to just leave it like that? Thanks |

Apparently this new model of 4820TG has improved a lot from older models.
Because my friend has bad experience with her acer laptops. The specs are great for the price. But will it give problems? cos she's going overseas to study. it'll be bad if laptop break down |

If you use the recovery disc, it won't be clean install, as its an image of the factory default state...
