This is why this laptop has higher battery life than the normal laptop.

remox> change from IE quick! Hahahahaha. Welcome on board!

Why do you still use IE? IE is laggy try to use Google Chrome, and I'm sure you will in love with it.

I just got this lappy la bro... havent install anything on this laptop yet.. yea!! im downloading google chrome now.

I got one question to all the sifu. Do i need to chrage my battery for 8 hours for my new battery?

I am not sure. I am charging for 30 minutes now and the battery had gone up 24%

typing this post from my 4830 (:

getting all the startup applications. gonna look into some simple customization next hehe.

I just got my 4830tg today too. There are plenty of bloatwares to remove. Took me around 30minutes. I guess we could probably make a list of what should be removed and what shouldn't, because they are plenty of Acer tools are bloatware too(in my opinion).
Does it have a power management tool? I'm not seeing any.. (maybe I removed it XD)
I'm using power saver mode of window default battery management. I'm only seeing 5hours of usage (with wifi-on and min brightness).... T_T

Anyone help!

What's so impressive ? I don't get it !!

just went to lowyat around 6pm today.. all shops are out of stock.. next stocks will arrive by next week

just want to get an opinion from u guys.. is it worth it to get extended warranty to 3 years with additional rm198? i have good experience with 3 acer laptop and desktops.. none of them are problematic even after 3 years.. but this time im quite worried since the battery is built in

For me I would definitely go for the three years extension, it's really worth it if your laptop is having any issue in the future which would definitely cost you a bomb. But if you're concern more on the battery side, what I can tell you is the 3 years warranty doesn't cover the battery, only the default 1 year cover the battery.

5.9w is the power usage.. The lower the better since you get longer battery life.. If it remains 5.9 all the while u'd be able to get around 10hours battery life..

In SG, 3 years extended warranty cost $199. That's nearly RM500 for same period of warranty. On site repair and international warranty requires more. So RM198 definitely worth it.

There's 2 prices for Malaysia's one though.. Under rm2.5k it's rm198, above rm2.5k it's rm298.. But still cheaper than SG la haha

What should be removed?

really? it is acceptable if 1 year warranty for a removable battery.. but for built in battery i think the risk is higher

That's why nothing is built to be perfect.
