I wonder why this model is not listed in HP website even though in Malaysia some shops are selling it already. Not much info in the website. Seen it myself in PC Depot (Ipoh).

Difference in this model:
1. DESIGN 90% Same as G4 but quality of the plastic is different. Not as sturdy as G4 (what you pay is what you get)
2. Free DOS
3. optical drive without lightscribe

Seriously good for budget(system builder) hunters, same spec as HP G4-1006. Just that the build and the OS difference.

Added on May 12, 2011, 11:34 amI can say 430 ALC is something like economical model but getting a decent spec model. (similar to inspiron 14 which is cheaper than 14r)

THanks for the heads up, will update the pricelist when it goes official

Looks like a worthy competitor to the A43E.

Its official but no reason why its not in website.

Just bought this baby (1025TX) yesterday. Quite an upgrade from my old V3218TU

The 3years warranty, is it free or need to add some amount of money? Coz from the shop i bought yesterday, the seller said warranty is 1 yr only. Pay rm188 to get 2 yrs extra. Anyone can clarify this for me plz? Tq

^ grats on your purchase
The additional warranties was during promotion time, not sure whether its still valid or not

oh. i guess i miss the promotion already. yup. new G4 user reporting in i'm using sonoma red btw and it looks very stunning!

me poor, not i5 but i3 only

Well, the i5 model is not worth it really. It's quite pricey for the specs you get. Better buy a dell or an asus. I bought the i5 model because I love the looks and design (Sonoma red) and could afford it.

My point is : it's hard to recommend buying the i5 model, when there are as good/better alternatives in the same price range.

However, I think that the i3 model has the best bang for the buck for under 2000rm.

Just seen the HP430 just now, you're right, it sure does look like a cheaper version of the G4

Err..... still no temperature tests for the G4?
