I am willing to wait n wait, cos 4830TG is currently best bang for the buck, but the wait is too long, why Acer do this to me?

is the graphic card of this lappie any good for gaming?

Yes. I think I should start save up $$$ for this lappy, or hopefully got other better models coming from Acer or other manufacturers.

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

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

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

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

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  laugh.gif
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  laugh.gif  Very slight to almost non-existent flexes on the keyboard  thumbup.gif But the center portion of the palm rest (around the touchpad) creaks loudly when pressure is applied, which is rather unwelcomed  sweat.gif

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  laugh.gif 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  laugh.gif

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

Wow, really nice pics. thumbup.gif Have you tried how long it takes to charge to 100%? Roughly 1% need how many mins?

QUOTE(Kimakima @ Apr 7 2011, 10:30 AM)
Hello,

I found this thread looking for info about the 4830TG, thanks for all the info and pictures.

I've got an important question to ask, how come it's such a good price in Malaysia?!

I'm in the UK and we always get shafted for price, but I was wondering are laptops usually cheaper in Malaysia than other countries?
According to XE, 2,499.00 MYR = 505.964 GBP, that's still Ā£60 or so cheaper than a used/returned 1st generation 4820TG with worse specs all around on amazon.co.uk.  rclxub.gif

I think a poster above posted an advert for Singapore but the prices seem to be much higher there as well...

Thing is I'm probably going to visit a friend in Indonesia in a few months and was thinking of stopping off in Singapore to look for a laptop. If I can get a 4830TG for 2399RM or thereabouts I think I'll be stopping off in KL instead, the flights usually cost about the same.

Do you guys thing this price is going to last? Is this price normal in Malaysia?

Thanks!

Harlow and welcome smile.gif The price is RRP by Acer so is normal. thumbup.gif
