???? made payment to whom? where? lowyat is it? stocks arrived already?? 2.5 years? definitely possible. but for me, if i did buy it, next year, most prob need to replace to a new lappie becoz in the 2012, intel's cpu is at 22nm and AMD Radeon is at 28nm fab process. :'( but maybe not becoz, in 2013, intel wud still be using 22nm for their cpus (tick-tock) and possibliy AMD radeons too due to the maturity of the process.

My Acer's Travel Mate lasts for 7 years. I bought it in early 2004 and it is still working perfectly today.

There. Doesn't it put everybody mind in peace?

I would be happy to get 4 years out of it

Yup. I never had bad experience with my Acer lappy as many others might have experienced. Never had problem with it's hardware and software. Never sent my lappy to SC. Many people don't believe me when I said my 7 years old lappy is still working perfectly. So yeah, I do believe in Acer quality and reliability.

thanks for the reassurance guys! hopefully can get my unit today! excited hehe.

Wait for 7 days first (for 1-1 replacement in case of defects). The ram is DDR3. I think you can find it almost at any IT & computer stores in Malaysia.

thanks mate. I can bring my laptop there to get it done right? or would it be more advisable to go back to acer stores? do they do ram upgrades?

ive been an acer fanboi since 2007 i think. bought the earlier gemstone aspire 4520, then upgraded aspire 4930 ,n now, patiently waiting for 4830TG. i trust acer any time. i also did a lot of recommendation to my university mates. acer simply works. GO GO GO ACER!!

haters gonna hate. that's all haters can do. esp those that have never tried acer lappies, n still bashed on acer lappies.



i think, if u send it to SC, i think,they're gonna charge u a premium. might as well just go to shopss like PC3,czone,thundermatch n such.60+ ringgit for a 2GB stick w FOC installation fee.

sounds good. thanks mate.

btw my friend has 2 more units, ready stock if anyone wants. she works for an IT distributor, handles corporate clients, etc.

PM me if interested and i'll disclose more details (:

Yea!!! My lappy will arrive tomorrow.. Can't wait d!!!^^

The only thing preventing me from buying this laptop is the design. I just hate the blue metal finish, the silver area around the keyboard, the black keys... I just wish they kept everything the same color, like the vaio s.

Everything else is perfect : specs, battery life, size and weight, features, price...

u bought it from whom???


really?? both the design n specs caught my attention. if the design is lame, i might have bought asus' a43sv, same spec and also much cheaper.

Actually, one of the reasons I didn't buy a vaio s is the design. Another is the price...

I really don't want to start a fight here . But from my subjective point of view, I don't like the design because it's too complicated . I like simple designs.

The main reason to buy the vaio s is the design, it looks sharp But the main reason NOT to buy the vaio s is the NOISE, that's why I got a refund
