So, you installed the HDD caddy ?

not yet. da 1 i bought da other day was 12.7mm. i bought a 9.5mm version yesterday.waiting for it to arrive fortunately, for 4830tg, it is soooo easy to remove the optical drive. no need to cut open da lappy

Just one screw on the bottom, right ?

yes. i didnt know dat until yesterday.

Hey PPL,,

I'm the Old Pain in the Head

Sorry for Bugging you, But I may Go Buy The LapTop Tonight,,

When I went 2 the Shop Yesterday, I found out that 3830TG is 4 the same price, same specs, Lighter Weight , Higher Battery Life

Higher Temp. Rising,, No Optical Drive

(Source : NoteBookCheck)

I'm Study Computer Engineering,,
Can do Little Gaming Though ^^

Do you recommend 3830TG 4 me?
(My Main Reasons for dumping my current laptop were (BatteryLife & WEIGHT) it weighs about 3KG )

Please Advice

The 3830TG has lower CPU, Core i3...

The most problem with current TimelineX is their throttling problem and the battery wear level..
If you can deal with it, then proceed..

3830tg heats even worse than 4830tg

There's a version here c i5 ,, EXACTLY same specs

Like that 1, but 500 GB HD not 750

My Question is : For a Computer Engineering Student (Me ^^ ) do u recommend 3830 TG ,,

and wat about Battery Wear Level!??!?!?!?!!??!!
I thought It was their BIGGEST advantage (Battery Life)

@notrox :
Aside from that, would u recommend it 4 me?

Well, which country you are getting 3830TG at ?
Malaysia only have Core i3 version..

The battery wear level seems to jumping up and down..

I'm From Egypt, Buyin' it 4m Egypt Also
Nice country

Here They Say that Warranty is for 3 years <3

Which 1 Shall I go 4 ? , (Computer Engineer who wouldn't mind Gaming )

Can you still found Acer 3820TG there ?

nope,, never saw that 1

well..i'd personally recommend 4830tg bbecoz of da heat issue thing. 3830 is much more cramped. and also, u can do wat im planning to do w my 4830tg, im going to isntall a HDD caddy so dat, i can use an SSD and HDD at the same time. two drives

@notrox : I think I'm gonna go 4 the 4830TG

I'm Still Sad though Cause the 3830 lasts >12hr Idle and >7:30 hrs Working

the other is 7 Idle 6:30 Working ,, But maybe 3830TG's Battery Wears off faster bcoz of Heat Thing

U're so Helpful Guyz , BIG Thanks

Don't fully trust the review battery life test..

Hmm, Im the user of 4830TG. To be honest, i like the battery cause it really last long. However it is internal battery~~ your choice bro..

lee,,, srsly u're gonna make me cry :'(

I'm Buying this laptop for Its Battery, and I saw Positive Reviews from Owners here,, Have u heard Something Bad bout the battery?

The 'Acer' Guy told me the Service Center Can Change it If it Goes off,

For Reasonable Amount of money (If Out of Warranty)

I don't Fully Trust him though ,, we're in Egypt ,, we don't have the "Customer Service" Culture yet

The thing is 3830TG and 4830TG has the same battery and their spec is almost the same except an optical drive and 0.7'' extra screen, the battery life difference won't be that huge...

It is a good laptop indeed.. So far there is no problem for me. For me as a student, i feel comfortable carrying this lappy around to school everyday due to it is light and good looking... hehe..

So from the Absolute Perspective have u heard complaints about 4830TG Battery?

Forget the Comparison btn 3830TG n 4830TG,, I'm talkin Absolute
