SG one is only 5400RPM....

my HD is 750GB 5400rpm hardisk. it is the standard config offer in SG as advertised, even till now...

and my CPU is 460M 

if you read some pages back, i did. heck, i even mentioned to you about my key flying out. so yes, i claimed warranty.

You don't really need to re-apply thermal paste for TimelineX series notebook.
This is because both GPU and CPU are using thermal paste instead of thermal pad.
The original paste is decent. 

Nevertheless, I applied mine with Tuniq TX3, slight improvement by 3c.

the no.1 included becoz people ask me to check that, apparently, there are unfortunately acer user has crack like this:



it should be obvious if there is crack.

no7, download batterycare, monitor for discharge rate and total capacity, u should get something like 64Whr for the 6 cell. and, i reckon to try using the battery a few hours to see if anything abnormal (like suddenly drop to 5%, shutdown, etc)

good idea about checking bad sector and ramtest...

to check for bad sector:

1. click Start button, type "cmd" DONT press Enter
2. right click on the "cmd" icon top of the menu
3. run as Admin
4. click Yes
5. in the Black cmd box, type "chkdsk /r"

it will ask u to reschedule and scan during next reboot... reboot the pc and let it scan, it's gonna take a looooong time  i didnt do this myself 

to test RAM, as reckon by sifu lee: http://www.memtest.org/#downiso  pai she... i also didnt do this...

1. check physical status of notebook; any part broke (check area between battery and notebook), gaps between screen and notebook, between panel, etc

since i got so bored @ work, and bluetooth with my phone is so easy, here is the photo of the back of my notebook with battery removed



and if u zoom in, u see that the 'finishing' and gap between panel is not as nice as other outer part of the notebook (which is fine and no  / very small gap between panel)



ps: i hope my notebook will forgive me for showing her naked like that...

hi bros,

I just purchased a 4820TG... I found that both cpu core temp load varies by 9c to 10c.. is this normal? Core temp should be pretty much consistant with a plus minus of 1~3c in diffrence am i right ?

tq tq

My personal review.

Stuff i hate.
a) Poor build quality, there's no solidness on this laptop. LCD lid built quality is totally hopeless, I had a bad feeling that I might wreck the panel in the future. It's just way to fragile for outdoor use lol.

b) The keyboard is a failure. It feels numb and dead just like those 10 year old jamed keyboard. 

c) Poor wifi signal reception and max speed of 65Mbps for N ? yawann

d) Poor cooling system, perhaps a fan which could churn out more cfm then the current one might help.

Why the hell i bought this ...
a) Because it's cheap, 2600 with 3 year warranty.
b) The 8 hours hype.
