Is it much different having Sandy Bridge with good graphics like HD6550 comparing to normal core i series with the same dedicated GPU?

For what purposes do u mean?
Gaming would have few 5-7 fps differences I guess

3820tg
spec
i3 380m
ati radeon hd6550
2gb ram
worth buying?
price rm2100

Definitely by all means! It's the best 13 inch for gaming out there.. Rm2.1k for hd6550 is still unheard off other than this lol

of course 4820TG better, RM300 more expensive and using i5-480m...

But 3820TG is 200-300g lighter n slimmer(i think)....

ah... dilemma now... 3820TG vs 4820TG... which to choose? Can list down the differences between them?
*
If based on Malaysia's version.. It's quite obvious dude...

Acer 3820TG @Rm21xx.. Acer 4820TG @Rm24xx

3820TG is weaker CPU with i3-380M while 4820TG with i5-480m

3820TG dun have DVD-Rom drive but it's 200-300g lighter and smaller

3820TG have 2 fans = better heat ventilation while 4820TG only have 1...

It's considered very good for a small laptop with such strong GPU's cause of the 2 fans inside.. Refer to first few pages for cowwithgun's temperatures when gaming..

thanks for the info...
I did read the previous posts... If for you, which will you choose?

What bothers me is the i3 and i5... I tend to think i5 is better... Can someone tell me what's the differences? what's their usage? I'm totally blur in processor..
*
It's a very subjective question depending on ur needs.. If you need maximum performance, of course 4820TG is the way to go..

3820TG is for portability u can bring it out easily but it doens't have a DVDRom drive...

During normal usage, both of those processors really dun have much differences... Recently, I often bring out my laptop to Uni for work and I was wishing very much that my laptop was lighter... And I seldom use the DVD-Rom drive also..

I guess you would only come to see the differences in performance during heavy work or gaming..

For me I guess I would go for 3820TG, it's a value buy also for RM21xx... I can live with the slight drop in performance.. Besides, few years ago laptops are much slower anyways, we were using them just fine also..

hmm.. u're generalising things lol... Overheating depends on what model u have...
4820TG is not in anyway of having overheating issues based on the last 56 pages of user feedback.... Gaming maximum also 80++ only even without cooler, never heard it's over 90-100...

guys..im thinking of buying laptop n timeline really bcome my interest since my bro bought 4 himself.i got brochure on 4820TG n 3820TG.from what cowithgun said,if i3 could take down many games as he played,i'd rather go for 3820TG. the only difference from his spec n what i got from d brochure is TS got ATI Radeon graphic while this brochure from shop got AMD Radeon HD6550.my question is cud it do the same game performance like TS? What is the difference,or advantage if any of these ATI n AMD?
Since evrybody are talking about 3820 reputation,i might want to reconsider between 3820 n 4820.

Added on January 29, 2011, 6:29 pmforgot to state,here at sabah they sell 4820 at rm2599 while 3820 at rm2200. Thats a big difference in price range tongue.gif
*
I thought 4820TG is RRP Rm2499 only 3820tG is RRP rm2199..
I think u can ask for more discount..
Which shop u go to? Try going to karamunsing to survey, should have the cheapest options there like Micron TM..

quite tempted to get asus with the same price because  of it  i7  but with only HD4200..so i have to go with 4820TG...

u should be able to get it cheaper....

RRP Rm2499 + warranty RM198 = RM2697.. Should be able to get 2.5k-2.6k..

Extended warranty is 3 years and it turns to international warranty as well..

It is possible to get cheaper maybe around rm60-70 off but I never knew more than rm100 off was possible...

Laptop definitely can get less than rm2370 if u have checked out garage sale prices...
