actually the warranty void sticker just for show only, they still repair for u(if the part comes are the one installed initially) unless the inside are dented

The only thing they told me not to remove is the heatsink of the system. RAM and HDD no problem..

Mean I can upgrde my HDD to SSD la?

Not really, it's quite solid.


From the time I press the on button, it will be more than that. Around 40+ seconds, maybe haven't clear out most of the unwanted applications.


Last time when I use my friend's one, I also don't like it. But now after using it for a while, it's okay for me.


Yeah, around that time.


I don't know how high is high or how low is low.
But from power saving mode to balanced and then high performance temperature are as below.







PS: The laptop is under the ceiling fan directly this time.

hi guys.

just bought this model just now at Digital Mall.

want to ask, why when I re-run Performance Index,
it tells me that my GC is Intel® HD Graphics Family?
Shouldn't it be Nvidia Geforce GT 540M?

In Device Manager, both GC is listed.
How can I use the Nvidia GC?
Because when I watch HD vids on youtube, its quite terrible
compared to my Aspire 4745g (gc ATI 5470).

Anyhow should I config my 5750g?

Thanks.

Actually, I'm also using the Optimus Technology for the first time. Don't know how to precisely switch graphics card between the Intel and the nvidia's one.

Any sifus please come and recommend us a solution.

it changes automatically.About the W7 Perf Index,iinm the data processed by the GT540M is passed through the GMA HD,that's why it's listed as such

Have you tried installing the latest Flash plugin?
You can't change on your own iinm,it's done automatically.Plus outside of gaming i don't see the need for the GT540,the HD3000 is more than fast enough for everything else. [it should be HD5470 fast]

you got cheated thats why ur stuck on intel graphics
joke

try this:

going to get mine soon!

Intel HD 3000 is good enough for any other tasks other than gaming IMO.... This is to save battery and keep your temperature lower at times.... If you want something to run on the GT540M, right-click and click NVidia Control Panel, choose the program u desire and click run with High-performance Nvidia processor... Hence ur program would run with GT540M...

so any usb3.0 port? so how much the temp for the gpu when gaming? seems like 80+ c load for sandy bridge mobile are normal (similar with asus N53SV), the new Radeon HD 6550M are max 77c (on furmark), dont check with furmark, nvidia throttle the gpu when furmark is running

the warranty void sticker is for the first 7days ... when u brought your Acer lappy, 1 to 1 exchange is available from the date of purchase for 7days if the lappy got problem. The sticker is for that, if within 7days the sticker is broken, then cant claim 1 to 1 instead can send in repair as usual onli.

@[G]ooD_DaY, Racerx, djzen
you guys are correct.
thanks for the advices. today I adjusted the graphic settings,
and revert it back to default. then I reinstall flash player.
now it gives me the real good quality.
no more problem when I watch HD video on youtube.
also I tried with Google o3d.
superb, i feel so happy.

-
another question, are the USB ports on this laptop all 3.0? or is it just one port 3.0 while another two is 2.0?

Yup only 1 is USB 3.0.. The Blue colour one..

owh i c, thanks!

= = I thought it's switchable graphics


Go get it!

Yeap, idle means opening less programmes right?
This laptop is super fast compare my old 1.
Put it at high performance under the fan will be very good if want to do heavy task.

Now my keyboard got problem.
Or maybe I just realised it only, the "~" and "*" button can be pressed but will not show when not pressing another button.
Meaning, ~=SHIFT + `
But have to press another key then only it will show, very small problem to me but wonder if it happens to other users too.
Should I bring it for exchange?

For me not a problem the keyboard.

You can force certain apps to run with the GT40 turned on using the Nvidia control panel,but for what it's worth the switch between IGP and dGPU is done automatically.

Nvidia Optimus is different from ATI switchable because it's switches automatically for you when doing intensive work while ATI's u can switch manually...

Idle means opening no programs and leaving the computer there..
