I am more eager to see 3820TG fitted with Sandy Bridge.

a reliable source told me it'll be on sale from 10 Jan onwards...

Just did some survey at Digital Mall on 11/01/2011
3820TG - Cash price without freebies RM2140 (D-Mobile Computer)

yoongkeen in this forum offering RM2120 No Freebies...
He owned a company named idealtech..in pandan indah..

I might get from him soon..

A shop at Digital Mall offered me 8 freebies - the standard fare: wireless mouse, keyboard cover, etc. Instead of these items, I got him to give me another 2GB ram - not bad, Corsair some more. 

If based on Malaysia's version.. It's quite obvious dude...

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

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..

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...

although i3 is slightly lower on spec  (2.53 vs 2.67) and without turboboost, you probably wont notice any performance at all. ya, i worry about its throttling the most since i3 is only 90C... and i reached 89C before in my extended period of gaming (4 hours or more)... i dont have any overheating issue at all. the 2 fans system work really well for me. imagine having air to flow thru from both left and right. i always think that is much better than any 1 fan system. i have completed all those games without even a cooler! the temp on both CPU and GPU still amaze me.

i'll chose 3820tg over 4820tg anytime. there is no other 13" or lower with such a powerful GPU and dual-fan system. it is unique.

i do wish it come with i5 but... guess acer need to protect 4820tg...

from what i gathered in NBR (which has more than 900 pages of discussion on 3820tg now), most american are using i3 as well, no throttling issue. check it out in notebook review forum. some of them actually swap it with a powerful i5-580 cpu!

i m putting my money where my mouth is... i m going to buy 1 more 3820tg (with i3 cpu) soon for my staff.

LYP many unethical sellers, but their prices are still cheap if u know how to bargain..
