Thanks for sharing

Will probably go to lowyat plaza this weekend... anything you guys need checking out?
I hope I'll be able to see the Iconia W500, Portege R830 and definitely this

Its sad that still alot of people are being skeptical on Acer TimelineX
Glad to hear that yours is still going strong
Well, you can't really compare a tablet and a laptop?

Wow, thanks for sharing
The blue palm rest doesn't look as appealing as it is in the brochure haha

Had the chance to touch and feel the new TimelineX 4830TG at lowyat plaza today
Man the laptop really looks good~
Below are some of the photos I took (again, sorry for poor photo quality):


As shown in the brochure, I'm pleased to say that the laptop really looks splendid in reality~


Keyboard & Palmrest. The keyboard buttons are really good, a very big improvement from the previous styling. Typing feel is good and accurate, love the slightly tight keyboard feedback
I wonder why the "\" and "Enter" buttons are fused together, it sorts of ruin the whole design. Similar to most of Acer's keyboards, the Arrow keys are abit too small for my taste, people with larger fingers may have problems during gaming LOL Very slight to almost non-existent flexes on the keyboard But the center portion of the palm rest (around the touchpad) creaks loudly when pressure is applied, which is rather unwelcomed


Placement of ports. Heat vent's on the left side. On idle mode its not hot at all but I din't have the chance to test how hot it can become. The VGA port and the ethernet port would be better if they're placed at the back of the laptop, or at least placed at the back portions of the sides...


Managed to test the speakers of both the TimelineX 4830TG and Asus A43Sv... at 100% volume, the sound is average only. And I'm not sure whether its me but the sound seems to be louder on the right speaker Manage to test a Toshiba NB520 netbook as well, the harman/kardon speakers are louder and clearer than both the 4830TG and A43Sv, I've to admit I'm a bit surprised


Front part of the laptop. Looks like a SD card reader. No idea about the others and you can probably see that the touchpad buttons seemed unsymmetrical

Slightly better
And there's 2 jacks for the mic and earphones now

Added on April 3, 2011, 10:07 amYea, the A43Sv looks nice
But the keyboard buttons, even though chiclet-styled, are not very good (at least not as good as the TimelineX 4830TG) when typing... the keys are abit too "shallow"- they only have a rather short distance to "sink" if you know what I mean
Oh ya, there's an Asus NX90 as well on the top floor

Yo guys, just wondering how does the Nvidia 's GT540M stacks up against AMD's HD6630?
As the Dell Vostro3450 (i5-2410M + AMD HD6630@RM2617) seemed like a formidable competitor
Comes with 6-cell battery, not sure whether its integrated or not

Wow, 1st buyer in LYN

Yea, love the design as well... looks very un-Acer-rish
The only setback would be the built-in battery and the creaky palm rest

LOL, drive safely la bro

Wah, pro
I don't see anything LOL

Wow, very nice photographs
Love the setting~

Any creaking on the center of the palm rest? Or was it just the display unit
Grats on your purchase~
Really poisoned by the design, specs & price

---

Added on April 7, 2011, 10:01 amYeah, the price's abit steeeeeeeeeeeeeep
I'm loving the 3830T though, a normal laptop like that, doesn't really matter whether the battery's built in or not

That sticker is usually sticked on the monitor and can be removed. Its different from the one on the palm rest

That's very reassuring
I'm sure it'll serve you well~

Yeah its soft

This look so /k-styled
