just to update bout d price.. I nego with them just to get best price.rm2399 with ext warranty rm118 n 2gb rm79 makes it total rm2596. Marcus offered me rm2600 with 4gb ram not sure its ready 4gb or after upgraded. I think he is at LYP while im in sabah now.unlucky me

RM2119+ ACER EXTENDED WARRANTY (SUPERCARE 1) RM140+ RM75  for 3820TG. = 2334. Is this worth? or can be cheaper?

hmmm, should I go for PJ digital mall for one round? Or any specific shop to go? I heard lowyat nowadays are not reliable anymore..

LYP any recommended seller? or shop? Planning to get one after CNY.

HD6650 has extra 80SP compared to HD6550, so it should be similar jump like HD4650 to HD5650...

erm.. the 6650 still abit better than 6550 right?

Hi everyone, I have also been looking at prices for 4820TG .. got quotation for RM 2.7k for 8GB ram before CNY .. waiting to see if price will drop further

Thanks for the info.
But is it ok to charge it all night long?
WOnt it spoil the battery?
How about for the first time?
Need to charge it first or charge and straight away install?

It's already 2am.
I dont think I have time to set-up and charge.
Haih. I guess I just have to sit and wait tmw.

Oh no no. Im not a boss or what.
It's for my friend.

Grrr... finally... a worthy successor for TimelineX... improvement that make me tingling:

1. Sandy bridge dual-core!
- I still think quad-core eats battery and generate more heat (I hope I am wrong  )
2. USB 3.0
3. New keyboard!
4. HD6650... this is the real successor for 5650... welcome Whistler...

Damn. It will only available on April 2011? I hope it wont take 9 months to bring this model to Malaysia (like what happened to 3820tg)... if so, Malaysia will only have 3830tg by 2012?  Will it be too much if I request for Acer Malaysia to bring not only the lowest end model to Malaysia, something like this would be nice:

- 3830tg with i7-2620M CPU & HD6650

Not sure if it'll make much difference, but if Acer Malaysia bring this model in for April, they already secured 1 sale (i m buying for sure). 

my WEI's aero graphic when using intel GPU used to be 4.4

after installed Win7 Service Pack 1, now it's 4.3 !!!

not that WEI matter, just duno why it goes down! hmm.. i also mess around with 11.2 quite a lot recently (tried to get MLAA option, but fail)...

my boot time is slower too! now 25 sec, instead of my best time 22 sec... well, 5 months of usage, with tons of games and applications installed... cant expect too much...

New 3830, and 4820, NO.

3830 and 4830, Yes.

Something more fishy... the logo does not look like Sandy Bridge logo...

Added on February 24, 2011, 12:36 amfrom the size of the notebook, in relation with the key... it looks more like a 14" notebook...

3820 M'sia dun have right? if got also icore3 only right? i can't find i5 at m'sia..

Got it for RM2499 , but with a lot of free stuff, laptop backpack, usb hub, mouse, lcd cleaner , etc, which is probably worth around 50, including the discount they have me for the 2g ddr3 ram I extended, RM 80 for ram
