My last Q before trying to buy a laptop tomorrow..... Acer 4750G (i5-2410 GT520M) or Dell 15R (i5-2410 HD6630) or waiting for 4830TG.... which one is value for money. Games: Mod Warfare2/Angry Bird/CS. Work: SPSS/Office/Pic editing. BUdget <2.5k... the less the better. Which one is enough for the task. 4750G got YES 4G doggle/AV/3yrs warranty, dell on-site warranty.. difficult to choose with so many SB i5 nowadays. Or any other suitable alternative? Extra money will be saved for investment
and i need USB3.0... have an external USB3.0 HDD... (damn fast)

My vote goes to Asus A43Sv@RM2499 (already available, 2 years international warranty), then Acer 4830TG@RM2499 (Upcoming, integrated battery)

Asus got USB3.0?

Nope
Heat is the battery's biggest enemy, unless you game in air-conditioned room or you don't game at all, the battery will probably spoil after 1-2 years like you said...

Basically my needs are SB cpu and USB 3.0 plus the above. Thanks

Acer Timelinex 4830TG then

hopefully 4830TG appeared soon (in stock)... if not... need to get something else..

usb 3.0 really faster than 2.0 a lot??
usb 2.0 fastest can up to how much MB/sec
how about 3.0??

Dell is much better option than Acer 4750G, at least the hD6630 is much better than 520M

i have USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 external HDD... USB 3.0 performs much faster in transfering files such as MKV and HD movies. in theory... 5gbps vs 480mbps... what i got about 100MB/s++ vs 40MB/s.

Then it would only run at USB 2.0 speed even if you use USB 3.0 devices...

that seagate hdd using usb 2.0 only, my sister didn't upgrade it to usb 3.0
but i thought it will be quite fast, at least till 50mb/s or so...
but when i borrow it to use, quite disappointed with the speed

when u have a usb3.0 stuff...and it is surely faster... might as well u use it rite? so need to have a laptop with usb3.0.... fyi, i just returned my 5750g for full refund... now searching for a cheaper and smaller one.

No, theoretically USB 2.0 can achieve max 60MB/s, but most of the time just 20MB/s++

i see mine seagate speed, 15mb/s also very hard to get...
sometime only 10mb/s...
only those normal rmvb movie
related to other factors as well for this speed??

Must be something wrong there, my 4.5 year old 2.5'' IDE HDD can achieve 27MB/s

could it be laptop slow??
will try it again when she borrow me again
