My record using battery on 4830TG

1) Reading e-book only - 10 hours 18 minutes.
2) Viewing video only (tested Mentalist Season 1~3, Lie To Me Season 1~3 and Leverage Season 1~3 - Averaging 8 hours.
3) Internet browsing, background downloading and some you tube viewing - 6 hours 53 minutes.

And my laptop still can achieve this result after over 4 months usage.

As for playing game, i always plug in power since i normally play at least 8 hours straight when i do.

a little something to worry about 4830tg owners...so...according to CPU-Z, our motherboards are B2 revision correct?which has been recalled a couple of months ago due to degrading SATA/chipset flaw. now...if ur use Gigabyte SATA check utility, u can see that, ur primary HDD wud be connected to SATA3 port 0 and that SATA3 port 1 would have not accommodated any drive at all and ur optical drive wud be connected to SATA2 port 2. as shown and u can even see that the utility says the motherboard revision is B2. according to Acer (Sandy Bridge Recalls Support), customers can check whether their laptops are affected or not.  Technically, 4830TG's motherboard is affected and shud b replaced. So, i keyed in my SNID and S/N in to the empty box, it states that my unit does not require any service.

so..how? our optical drive is connected to the flawed chipset. it will definitely degrade over time.

cpuz :
[attachmentid=2399916]

Gigabyte sata utility check:
[attachmentid=2399917]

Acer product adivisory:
[attachmentid=2399919]

so...knowing dat ur optical drive's SATA port will degrade over time, does it worry u?

da chipset flaw affects ONLY SATA port 2 and onwards. it does not affect SATA port 0 and port 1 as stated by CNET

and our optical drive is connected to SATA port 2 according to gigabyte utility...

and i quote CNET :

Issue: Affects SATA ports 2 through 5, not ports 0 and 1. Most laptops have two SATA devices, such as a hard disk drive and optical drive that would be using the unaffected ports 0 and 1. That said, Sandy Bridge-based systems with more than a couple of SATA devices could potentially be affected. The data itself is not affected. So, if a consumer had an affected system, data could be accessed by moving the storage device to another system or a working port.

So, it there ways for us to connect the optical drive to SATA3 port1?
