juz wanna know..
some1 told me, it is not good use the batt while the lappy is plugged in..
and i dunno is it true or not...

generally yes... heat from other hardware parts can kill off the battery cells slowly...

but then i heard ppl say aluminum is much hotter??i dun think weight is a problem cuz i seldom travel with laptop
*
look at MacBook Pro/Air, and u'll get an idea...

u can use the whole chasis as a giant heatsink, which saves space inside, at the expense of hot surface...

that's wat Apple has been using since Mactel (i think)...

it basically allows for more charge cycles than Li-ion, but is more costly as well...

makes sense to use it on a laptop with integrated battery...

i hav no comment bout the built in batt...but u do have to giv thumbs up for the price with these kinds of specs..

well, nothing surprising, imho... the spec was already leaked at least 1 week back...

it's sort of expected anyway... can't be worse than 4820TG rit?

Actually Acer's profit margin is actually lower compared to Dell or HP. Their notebooks are all came from China, so not much difference on costing lah. Just Acer is more aggressive on pricing...See Dell Inspiron 15R Quad core can be cheaper than Acer 5750G as well

tell me which popular OEM dun make their laptops in China?

even Alienware are also made in China now...

Sony - 90% China except VAIO Z
Toshiba - 80% China except Portege R830 or R840/R850
Fujitsu - 40% China except expensive model
*
more like made in China, assembled in Japan (less the solid capacitators on the mobos perhaps)...

if they re really 100% made in Japan, they will cost rm8k, not rm4k...
