Ive been offer RM 2499 with additional RM198 for 2 more years warranty, total of 3 years. A good price or shall I wait for the PC Fair soon? been hearing some feedbacks about battery not being able to be remove and heating of unit is an issue? IMO, better wait for ivy bridge laptops. possibly this coming june. update - news around the web, new ivy bridge is coming this april. its might be sonner than i expected.

AND YET ACER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPAIR FOR ME! After numerous of service, my 4830TG still gets really hot (it can get up to 90 Celcius degrees) after 1 month of game playing. But after changing the motherboard it gets totally fine. And that's why I get to repair after each month or so. And I am not satisfy with the screen, it's a little bit yellowish than my previous 4830TG... Oh forget to tell you guys, I've earned an exchange unit for my previous model of 4830TG, (i5-2410M TO i5-2450M). But the problems seemed to be remain the same as usual..... I offered Acer/Highpoint to change my screen for me as my screen is yellowish than before, but they dont seem to be care for my case and returned my unit back after one week of inspection. WHAT THE f* IS THAT? lol. I WAITED FOR SO LONG AND I DONT GET A SINGLE f* OF THEM, WHAT KIND OF SORCERY IS THIS?! [attachmentid=2749483][attachmentid=2749486][attachmentid=2749490][attachmentid=2749497][attachmentid=2749498][attachmentid=2749507][attachmentid=2749511][attachmentid=2749512][attachmentid=2749513][attachmentid=2749516] sell it off and buy the new timelne ultra. hoho. its a sign i think.haha. but anyways, i prolly one of the luckier ones i guess. aftr almost a year, my battery's at 43% wear, no sound on the left side of my speakers(top and bottom, using earphones works fine), and im gonna send it in for repairs. hopefully they replace my battery with a new one. and im not sure whether one to sell it off to buy the new acer timeline ultra m3.... the aspire v3 looks pretty much the same as 4830tg [attachmentid=2750748] This post has been edited by notroxcity: Mar 22 2012, 12:24 PM

Basically, I do not need laptop for gaming, I won't play the most recent games, I need light and small laptop with long battery life in order it to carry it every day to University and I will mainly use it to browse and sometimes process photos, what can require better performance. But I would like to buy a laptop for 2-3 years and be sure it won't die after one year so that is why I'm asking for an advice from users who have it from a longer time. I'm considering i5-2450m or i7-2620m. Could you please give me the answers to the following questions: 1. The battery life is really great at the beginning but how does it change over the time? What is the battery life after half a year or year of usage? Is it durable? What is your wear level and how long you use it? 2. Do the new versions of BIOS, for example 1.08 fix the problem with throttling or makes it less inconvenient? 3. Are there problems with throttling in the i7 model? Are they bigger or smaller? 4. Where is the battery life longer - on i5 or i7 model? 5. What about the quality of the materials used? How does it look like after some time of using? Does anyone broke something? 6. The reviews show that the screen display is really poor, it has got brightness, contrast and black level. Is it inconvenient? What about using this device in the sunny room? 7. Is it noisy? 8. The reviews show that it can be really hot - even keyboard. How does it look like? Is it possible to lie with this laptop in bed or is it too hot? 9. What is the quality of the speakers? 10. Would you recommend to buy this laptop? If yes - i5 or i7? I went through reviews but it is always better to ask someone who is using this laptop daily. I'm considering also ASUS U36SD (but has worse processor, graphic card and camera) Dell Vostro 3350 and MSI X460DX (is bigger). Thanks very much! well.... acer still pushing the buggy B2 revision chipset motherboard w faulty SATA connectors.i just bought new acer laptop yesterday, w HM65 chipset, which coincidentally is the same chipset as 4830TG and perhaps other timelineX series, i wud strongly advice for u to wait for ivy bridge-based laptops.

Full charge can hardly last more than 3 hours. Bear in mind it's just some normal web browsing work. Now it's 84% and shows 2 hour 20 minute remaining. any ideas what should I do? should i try recovering/reseting to factory defaults? if still bad like this, should i send back to acer? Thanks for all your help! QUOTE(anderyna @ Apr 19 2012, 11:04 AM) I called acer tech support and request for on-site service for my faulty speaker but yesterday they din come. So piss off now, anyway, exceept for onsite service, where still got the service to change the parts on the spot? both of u got the same problem as i do. n i sent my lappy to acer last saturday, n just now, called them , n they say left speaker spare part just arrived. i can expect my laptop to be ready next week. didnt know acer got acer onsite service. owh, for the battery thing, mine too, only lasts under 3hours, n they simply upgraded the Smart Battery System's firmware. sad...was hoping for a new battery This post has been edited by notroxcity: Apr 19 2012, 03:27 PM
