hi. i would like a question,dont know if this a correct place to do so..

this laptop equip with 64 bit windows.is it ok..,i mean, compare to 32 bit,is there any weakness/shortcoming? or 64 bit windows work just like 32 bit one?
*
i don't know any shortcoming yet for the 64bit version yet. I know that only 64bit version can access more than 4gb of memory. I can install 32bit version of windows software into the 64bit version without problem. (there might me some software out there that can cause issues, but i haven't encounter it yet)

meaning,with 64 bit windows we can put more than 4gb ram,but with 32 bit windows,we stuck with only 4gb ram?wow..then that means 64 bit better than 32 bit la? smile.gif

Yes, that is one of the advantageous of 64bit.
You can goto (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/32-bit-and-64-bit-Windows-frequently-asked-questions) for some faqs.

Hi 4830TG owners,
Currently I am in US and not bringing my 4830TG with me. I discovered acer.com.my has a link to the Intel Sandy Bridge chipset issue. You may key in your 4830TG to verify your unit is affected or not.
Acer - Intel Sandry Bridge

Please verify and reply here whether our units are among the affected one or not  sweat.gif

xps 15

well, it says here,
- core i7
- 3D capable gpu (eh..wait...gt540m too)
- JBL speakers
- the BRAND
- warranty stuff (one of da best IMO)
anyhow, da design's ugly.LOL

i sure hope the 3299 price tag, is for the highest variant. the core i7 one. cannot find da price for core i5 tho...
*
Here the link for the core i5 here

The major difference that i can see is
1. Dell is a 15"
2. Hard disk is rpm is 7200
3. Backlit keyboard

It didn't comes with DVDs, you need to create your own. 5 dvds altogether ( 4 for recovery, 1 for the driver and application)

thanks for the information. i think i will find the drivers one by one, xp virtual machine i scare some of my softwares cant support.
possible if doing dual boot? cos acer not giving any win7 discs, if dual boot must install win xp 1st right?
thanks for the information. so i need 5 dvds and is there any software i need to install or its preloaded?

regards
*
There is already an acer software installed. You used that software to make the discs.
If you search in this forum, i think i already posted the software name and location. (Don't have my acer laptop with me now to look for the software name)

no lar. it means if my windows have problems, or drivers have problems, i bring back their shop to format or other services is foc in that warranty year.

actually i plan to upgrade the ram oso, but the guy told me if the lappy is running on 4gb[the most], upgrade to 6-8gb oso no use wor.
cos can detect until 4gb only.

anyone to clarify this?
*
I upgraded mine to 8gb and it can detect 8gb. That shop is BS you already.
This acer is running a 64bit version of windows 7, so it can see more that 4gb.

If it is using a 32bit OS, then yes it can only see max 4gb (3.2gb to be exact i think)

4830TG is EOL product, not so easy to find.

By following your logic, why don't I pay xtra RM400 more to get 5750G or A43S/A53S Core i7? instead of RM2499 for i5.

Wow so fast eol, just launch 1 or 2 month ago in Malaysia, or are you speaking of a different model?

Ya if in battery mode, need to disable the power saving function. Press the blue "P" if lighted on the top right corner to disable the power saving mode.
