so, since it has a built in battery, does the acer supercare extended warranty covers the battery? i noe for a fact dat, for the 1st year, adapater n battery are always covered by acer. since 4830tg has a built in one, n is no replaceable, kinda worried about dat. battery degrades rather quickly due to limited charging cycles.

have to call acer to double confirm.but if wat ur saying is true, that that's a major downside for me. my 4930's battery losses its charge retention capability after 1 year of usage, may probably due to improper charging/discharging.

im hoping dat 4930tg's charging circuits is smart enuff so as to not damage the battery while using the laptop.juz need the battery to be usable after 2.5 years and gud enuff to 2nd-hand buyers.

if im going to buy this lappy, i seriously need to use batterycarebatterycare.net

anyhow, if for no apparent reason, the battery blows up,permanently damaging the laptop, by right, Acer shud replace w a new one w equal value rite?

only for the 1st year?wutabout subsequent years?u know after warranty extension via supercare..

sure hopes so.if let's say, the battery heavily degraded after the 1st year, i'd like to replace it w a new one.


same question, replaceable only for the 1st year or the subsequent years too. (acer supercare warratny)

4830, is it SATA 3? 6Gb/s or the older SATA 2 3Gb/s?

AMD Llano VS i7 Sandy Bridge

u shud definitely check the link above.watch its youtube videos. a8-3510MX, is overall better than an i7 sandy bridge. however, if stricly computational power perspective, i7 wins.

owh yeah, an AMD Llano A8-3510MX is fitted w a HD6620 GPU, from the model number, it shud b better than HD6550 ( HD 5650 ). juz imagine, an AMD cpu + GPU notebook, it most probably much cheaper than an Intel cpu + AMD gpu notebook. owh yeah, AMD llano can do hybrid crossfire, with a discrete gpu. how cool is dat.

i7 sandy bridge(32nm) = 35W, AMD APU LLANO (32nm) = 45W, great TDP!

hey guys, last day of pcfair, 17th, the salesperson said, new stocks are coming in about 2 weeks, already got the money, but VERY DOUBTFUL and WORRIED about Nvidia's OPTIMUS. is it any good?i have heard mixed reviews on the said technology dat it heavily depends on gaming profiles or some sort.do giv feedback .

???? made payment to whom? where? lowyat is it? stocks arrived already?? 2.5 years? definitely possible. but for me, if i did buy it, next year, most prob need to replace to a new lappie becoz in the 2012, intel's cpu is at 22nm and AMD Radeon is at 28nm fab process. :'( but maybe not becoz, in 2013, intel wud still be using 22nm for their cpus (tick-tock) and possibliy AMD radeons too due to the maturity of the process.

ive been an acer fanboi since 2007 i think. bought the earlier gemstone aspire 4520, then upgraded aspire 4930 ,n now, patiently waiting for 4830TG. i trust acer any time. i also did a lot of recommendation to my university mates. acer simply works. GO GO GO ACER!!

haters gonna hate. that's all haters can do. esp those that have never tried acer lappies, n still bashed on acer lappies.



i think, if u send it to SC, i think,they're gonna charge u a premium. might as well just go to shopss like PC3,czone,thundermatch n such.60+ ringgit for a 2GB stick w FOC installation fee.

u bought it from whom???


really?? both the design n specs caught my attention. if the design is lame, i might have bought asus' a43sv, same spec and also much cheaper.

no no, not labeling u as a hater. generalizing acer haters in general.

yup. exactly.

any1's going to lowyat plaza today or tomorow? can check stock availability? busy w work...planning to go this saturday.but dont want to go back home empty handed...

which seller? is there by any chance, that the selle's shop is at lowyat plaza?


digital mall eh...hurm...name of the shop? do they have a branch at lowyat plaza?PJ so far away.

i think, it's safe to say dat, stocks have come n i can simply walk into lowyat plaza n buy the blue devil wo worrying dat stocks is in limited supply,seeing as stocks is piling up over at digital mall.

seriously? if that is indeed true, that's definitely a very good news! i already planned to go to lowyat tomorow to pickup one. but planning to do some cash rebate/no free gift plus haggling on the warranty extension. i seem to recall dat the RM198 supercare, was sold to me for under RM100 when i bought a laptop at the end of 2008 n also another laptop which i bought earlier this year....hurm...

bought mine at lowyat plaza today.around 8pm. i think i got a prett good deal, but im sure some of u had better deals. got mine wo any free gifts,asked for cash rebate,n warranty extension total RM2530 (RM2430+100). i hope its ok. kinda restless knowing dat u guys had better deal than me.

EDIT : cycom is charging RM2599 for the lappie.juz heads up for potential buyers out there. there are a couple of sellers selling at RRP price RM2499.
