i am getting this 4830tg probably this week at pc fair, but can install windows xp on it and does it come with recovery CDs like any previous acer laptop?

regards
*
sure can install XP on the laptop.but u'll have trouble finding the drivers. currently, there's only offcial drivers for windows 7 64 bit smile.gif best solution wud b for u to install windows xp virtual machine. best of both worlds. u can use both xp n 7. smile.gif my advice is ,to use this setup first until the official XP drivers are avaialble.

Is it adding more ram (beside using ssd) will speed up the booting time? what is the boot's average time on this lappy? sorry..2 many questions..unable to sleep until get this answer..(kena poisoned..)

RAM speeds up ur applications. if u wanna boot faster, tweak ur startup services n applications. smile.gif

YAEAH!!! updated my gaphics driver to nvdia's latest. 275.33 driver. SIGNIFICANT framerate improvement when playing crysis 2 as compared to our stock driver that acer provided.huhu. worth to try!! if any of u play crysis 2, go do ur self a favor n update ur driver!

here's the how-to : http://goo.gl/VPfWY

our stock driver, unable to play crysis 2 smoothly.very jerky. owh yeah, my settings is "Gamer" or "High" . resolution 1280x720. very satisfied!!

update : owh yeah, i dunno y, but nvidia's optimus is working juz fine. biggrin.gif

just ask only,did you all recommend me buy this 4830tg over than Asus N43SL or N53sv.thanks all..

This is why i bought the laptop :
- gaming capability - can run crysis 2, dirt 3 after GPU driver update
- aesthetics - blue color, thin/slim profile, lightweight,can lift w one hand easily,compact,aluminium back
- features - 4 speakers w dolby audio !,USB 3.0 w USB charging, sound definitely one of the best!
- hardware spec - sandy bridge core i5 coupled w nvidia gt540m!
- very2 value for the money smile.gif

quality?  Build quality is very nice especially the looks and the chiclet keyboard factor. This 1 u can experience yourself when u see the real thing.
battery ? Battery life after 1 day charge you set battery to low i managed to reach about 8hrs 20 mins(sorry no screenie too lazy  tongue.gif )
gaming? Gaming with this laptop is very smooth but the graphic card GT540M (same for N5SV) has some problems with the nvidia optimus where some games cannot sense the graphic card.(Easily fixed by updating the drivers)
temperature when load? Temperature can be found here where they test it with a few high end games Review by notebookcheck
any problem? major or minor? No problems so far smile.gif its working so perfectly fine and everytime i just open and look at the laptop i smile for some weird reason.
high recommended than asus n53sv? I had the same dilemma choosing between the 4830TG and the asus n53sv but in the end i chose this because i liked the design better and the weight of it being so light (2.1kg WooT  drool.gif )
weight? Very easy to carry around its very light. Checkout the review above has all the specs including weight and all.

(just in case you didnt see it above)

Do u mind telling step by step to update the driver plzz.. cry.gif

well this is the steps wat i did :

1 - DO NOT UNINSTALL current driver <<--maybe its the reason dat optimus is working after driver update
2 - download lated driver from nvidia.com ---> double click n EXTRACT ,dont isntall YET
3 - go to http://goo.gl/VPfWY n download the INF file <---simply click "INF MODIFIED" -->> "nvwi.inf" is the file
4 - copy the "nvwi.inf" file n paste/replace it into C:\NVIDIA\DisplayDriver\275.33\Vista 64-bit\International\Display.Driver
5 - then install the driver by double clicling SETUP.EXE
6 - enjoy crysis 2, dirt 3 at a much higher framerate smile.gif

What new features? i just installed last night, but haven't update my bios yet.

that one,u have to refer to da release notes at nvidia.com. anyhow, there's an UPDATE feature, it will regularly sca for laatest drivers, 3D vision (not very sure can use or not, but there are laptops w 3D Vision which is using nvidia gt540M for the gpu), optimus logo now changes colour (grey to coloured).

Added on June 9, 2011, 5:35 pmUPDATE : it seems dat u have to have 120hz display in order to use 3d vision. but dunno whether connecting it to a 120hz display via hdmi 1.4a wud work...

Guys, I m considering it..Just one very simple question.

Worth getting? Hardly play games nowadays though...just normal work and surf and movies...
*
been using it since april. satisfaction guaranteed! since u stated dat ur hardy play games, then maybe its a alittle bit over kill to buy this laptop becoz powerful CPU n GPU. can play crysis 2 at 1366x768 VERY HIGH preset, and dirt 3 at 1366x768 HIGH preset, starcraft 2 at 1366x768 HIGH, n etc.

but work-wise, i can last u almost the whole day (atleast 6 hours ,up to 8 hours+) very gud for work,very thin n light.easy to carry. smile.gif

if flashing unofficial BIOS, then yes its dangeerous. but i flashed mine twice alredy. all BIOSes i downloaded directly from acer.com smile.gif da method is too easy. double click only smile.gif
