Had it showing in LY today. Put in pre-order since they have no stock but price is RM2499. Cant wait anyway, need a laptop asap

Feels solid, especially the main body although the hinges for the screen seem a bit weak almost wobbly - i gave the notebook a shake while open when nobody was looking. I can only hope they're stronger than they look given how thin the lid is.

I've only had experience with a chiclet keyboard on a cheap msi notebook and my G73jh - the latter being quite a bit better - however in reviews some had said that the G73's keyboard has some flex and yet i haven't experienced any so i suppose i'm a light typer. In this regard the acer's keys seemed slightly less "jumpy" compared to the G73 (the responsiveness of the G73's keyboard really makes it a pleasure to type on) but that could just be my imagination or some asus bias forcing that perception in my subconscious. The smaller direction keys dont bother me since i game with the WASD buttons anyway although i had wished they weren't offset

Didn't really get to run anything on it so i cant talk about heat issues etc. It's really compact though so i expect heat to be it's achilles heal. Just as long as the heat doesn't annoy my hands while typing and doesn't affect the battery negatively it should be ok but if it does either of those i will be rather unsatisfied. The built in battery is neither here nor there to me but removable would have been better

I know this is the 3830 but look at what he does to it

So i've received "Murphy", as i've dubbed it for very apparent aesthetic reasons, and will hopefully be posting a brief review soon. Just been rather busy with university giving me the run around and assembling my necessary course material.

Please dont expect one of those fancy reviews usually posted on forums the world-over. Thanks

Murphy because the colour-scheme of steel, blue-steel and black along with it's sharp-ish edges remind me of Robocop. As yet i've only been able to test NFS Shift 2 on it. With everything set to high except aliasing on normal and shadows on medium and at 720P Resolution the FPS tends to hover around 26-30. Keyboard is exactly as it felt on the demo model. Good enough but not as smooth as the one on my G73. When doing anything that doesnt tax the CPU or GPU the computer is completely silent and the air coming from the side-vent even feels cool. Play games though and you've got your own personal heater although it doesnt blow too loudly at least. Barely audible in actual fact or i might just be deaf. Not one much for benchmarking software - prefer actual in game performance figures - so i'll be testing out more games and report back when i can.

Apparently i was the first one to get this PC in central KL. The shipment only had 40 in the container. I'm suitably chuffed if true

Affordability can only be factored in once the product has proven its reliability. Mine has run without a hitch thus far but it is as yet, early days

So far i've only tested Shift 2 and Crysis 2 and i've had to do manual settings for both so i doubt it's the games but rather the drivers



4830 and Robocop, separated at birth?

Turn the notebook off and then press the button

Price?
And where to purchase

I was one of the first to purchase the notebook, at least the first around here to receive one so unless i'm mistaken - and the cooler costs RM2499 - you're not understanding what i'm asking

Ok, Wakarimashta - as they say in japanese

What is the price of the X-800 notebook cooler and where might one purchase one?


Suppose it's one that keeps not only your notebook but your room cool too

I didnt get a free cooler with my purchase. I've been had

Suppose i got a decent discount on a monitor at least so i wont complain

I know but it's more for the look and piece of mind. A little extra ground-clearance never did any harm

The only thing i got free that is usefull is a cheap acer mouse. I'm not a malaysian citizen so i'll have to apply for an extended warranty back in SA.

Now you're just making me feel bad

All i got was

Laptop bag
Years worth of Trend Micro anti-virus
4-Port USB Hub
Cheap wired Acer mouse
Universal power adaptor
Kensington Lock
