Temperature after 2+hours on balance mode.




Maybe something is wrong with the HWMonitor?
= =
I shut down after the 1st attempt and let it cool for 3-4 minutes under fan and boot back. The temperature are going almost the max even after cooling down. Confused now.

The left side of the laptop is the hottest part. When the temperature risen, it will automatically increase the fan speed. Although it will sound louder and u can hear the sound of the fan, it is almost inaudible if u don't listen to it. The part that shocked me will be the bottom part of the laptop. Compare my old Toshiba, the bottom part of this Acer is cool(serious ) Besides, to add on that the speaker is very nice also(okay to me), it's loud enough to watch video and playing music if u don't like to carry portable speakers. Haven't tried the battery life yet as I'm using at home and no time due to working later on. I will try my best to answer potential buyer() the best I could, but only after 10pm(work, ).
Good night and I hope I didn't do it badly.

I wonder why I can't open the Performance Monitor, anyone know how to solve it, the printscreen is at the btm.

Woohoo...waiting for all the test ^^
Congratz on your buy ^^

Thanks,

great job!
do more test tomoro after work

Wow it's quite cool for a Quad!

Can you try OC the system? I want to see the temp.

I try ba,

Go get one!

= =
I will if I know how to OC, seems complicated.

OC GPU not complicated.. Just takes a long time and patience...

Nice lappie bro...

currently enjoying the laptop as well. 10x faster than my turion x2 m520 laptop.

wow nice lappy there man! nice simple "review"

Grats on your purchase
The battery looks weird LOL!
Can't wait for gaming benchmarks hehe~

Me 2 bro..

I guess most of the 1st SB batch laptops will come with GT540 (for Nvidia ones) as well, so TS's scores will give us a rough picture of how the GPU fares
Anyway, TS, does the monitor wobble when shaken?

As for me, I wnt 2 get lappie wif 1.5Gb GDDR5 GPU..

waiting for 10pm for your review

i think i read somewhere the boot up time is less than 20 sec???

how about the keyboard, it is comfortable? the last time i check the chocolate like keyboard are not comfortable even compared to acer curved keyboard(check travelmate 4000)

This post has been edited by zerorating: Jan 12 2011, 02:48 PM

Current Acer keyboards are flat. Very flat.

It will take some time to get used to it (if you're used to those curved keyboard).
No issue once you get used to it.

impressive spec again from acer.

yeah same with the others, waiting for some benchmarks from TS.

maybe IF it comes with SSD

Just been through the Lowyat 4th floor Acer service center for the Keyboard.
My 5750G keys "Up Key" not sensitive.

They are willing to change for me the whole set of keyboard, yet no stock, then need to wait their call maybe 3-4 working days for me to go back again.

They also say replace work need take half an hour.

for information and sharing ..:I

Juz buy SSD than replace it wif HDD..Acer warranty allow self upgrade x?

yea this was from the 5750G thread... but it's 20seconds to windows logon screen only... another 10-15 seconds to load everything..

example, if we upgrade ram during purchase, it'll broke the seal. Ask the shop not to re-seal the warranty sticker on it.

from there, you can strip off hdd and install ssd

Huh? still didnt understand la bro..

Upgrade HDD won't void warranty lar... Just need to put the HDD back when u send it back to warranty...

acer laptop got warranty seal on hdd/ram cover below the laptop

Meaning warranty will avoid la?

i saw some 5750G user said that temp is quite high.
too bad...
><"

once got tear on seal, it'll void the warranty. but if you upgrade during purchase, the warranty is still there since the shop helped you upgrade on the spot.

83 when playing games is not high at all... It's quite normal and considered good for quad without a cooler.... The idle temp is quite impressive only around 50 degrees for a quad core without a cooler...

true, 83 is not consider as high. i saw my fren HP DV2 with 8400m, the temp up to 99++...Zzz

Haha that's exceptional... the 99++ probably the GPU and not the CPU because 8000 series have overheating issues anyways...

anyway, getting this Acer tml...hope that it can last several years.

No breaking the seal will not void the warranty. My own lappy has been sent to service to change hdd once i already open one.. they never questioned me

@Eugene91
your acer laptop adi how old?

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:
http://vnboards.ign.com/pc_generalhardware...7/113543502/p1/

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

Added on January 13, 2011, 8:24 amIdle? That's fine

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..

so fast got problem?
but not understand ur problem too!

how much is this set purchased for?..is it in the range of the RM3699?

rm2769

RRP RM2899

oic..ok.. thanx for ur prompt response.

Maybe Good Day can put the price he bought it for in the first post..

welcome! xD

Okay understand now, switch automatically and can force if wanted too.
Thanks.

Hey, Whats the battery life on the 5750G? Could you please test it? really want to know how good it is.

hey guys which one i should buy,,acer 5750g or dell xps 15?
should i wait asus N53SN?
i want use it for high end gaming...
thx

What High end gaming do u mean? Full HD reso with 8x AA??
If just HD resolution + 2xAA, 540M can play most recent games smoothly.. No need wait for N53SN since won't be much better also for the steep price difference..

XPS15 is out of the topic unless u wait till they refresh to SB during March

Added on January 14, 2011, 1:34 amApparently a forummer posted it could last 4hours on light web-browsing... Which is awesome for a quad-core..

= = The resolution of the laptop and in game resolution also. If both can't then I don't know bro, haven't have the time to play on my laptop(work sigh~)

Sorry bro, busy atm will test it after this week.
Anyway, u can still refer to other user's feedback

Nice 1 , you got there. haha, I believe it's value for the money.

on the day when i m about to bring my notebook to highpoint for ram upgrading (got warranty seal on the screw), the highpoint personnel told me just open it and dun bother about the seal as the seal is to ensure there is no tampering/parts switching by resellers, dun know how true is that but that is what they told me (dun hv black & white tho' )

When Dell puts the new SB processors in their XPS 15 line, how much would the price jump up from where its at now? Would it be above 4k?

what is the idle temp while leaving computer on? for example bt download?

I can vouch for this also. Sent a lot of Acer's in for warranty after both RAM and Hard Disk upgraded, without much problems.

The tampering/parts switching is a problem especially if you source your laptops from certain places in Lowyat. Their spec would never be the same as what's stated in the box, and sometimes you get conned by getting old parts instead of new when you buy certain upgrades.

They especially like acer because of the very low entry price.

this would be the hot model for a few months before other company release their own SB model

google "warcraft 3 widescreen"

dear all 5750g honor owners, may i know how capable is gt540m? as i play pes2011 & nba2k11 a lot, can gt540m handle them at 60fps at medium resolution? thks!

dont play that game... so dont know. try see notebookcheck.net

PES2011 is a low requirements game, can handle Full HD 8xAA without any prob lol..

not sure about NBA though

u meant run at 1366 x 768? that is a good news

Added on January 14, 2011, 10:53 pmthks 4 the link, found this:

"The performance of the 540M lies between the Radeon HD 5650 and 5730 in our first benchmarks. Therefore, the 540M is about 10% faster than the GT435M using DDR3 graphics memory. Using GDDR5 it may be as fast as the HD 5750 / 5770.

Paired with a fast CPU, demanding games of 2010 should run fluently in medium to high details and SXGA resolution. In our tests for example Call of Duty: Black Ops and StarCraft 2 ran fluently in high details and 1360x768. More gaming benchmarks can be found in the lower section of this page."

hey the Acer 5750g graphics is GDDR3 or GDDR5

DDR3
