The "3" and "4" prefix refers to the size of the laptop (3= 13"); (4= 14")..
The successor for the 3820 and 4820 = 3830Tg and 4830Tg nod.gif

Thanks.

I went to the Acer website but they dont have any new Timeline X.
Why is that?
I thought having an 8 hour battery was their main selling point.
Or did they have a new name?

1. Preferred Brand : Any brand
2. Budget : depends,maybe 2 or 3k or maybe higher but if got cheap
3. Usage : music,video,gaming a bit like dota,sims3,fifa12
4. Preferred Laptop/Screen Size : 14,15 or bigger

+ Battery longer lasting . at least 6-8 hours per charge, comfortable keyboad design , less heat, less lag, light ,i dun like heavy ..i also want built in bluetooth and can change speaker volume using buttons(not touch buttons -unless its responsive then ok . ++ if possible want 3d..i mean can watch 3d[must use specs or not??]

im currently using toshiba portege(small one,thin) the price is around 2k in feb 2011 ..i buy this bcause its light,
its like netbook size but laptop performance[intel pentium],at 1st it was ok but now its kinda laggy doing photoshop,open google chrome browser a lot of tabs,firefox looks unstable.and its not for gaming, cannot play sims3,fifa heavy graphics.

btw i also hve other laptops like acer(04,07,08 models) all got problems with battery,and 07,08 got screen prob, so fast heat . but i heard acer has improve since then ??

second time asking actually, still don't buy yet. change some preferences. really need help, coz pening dy cry.gif

1. Preferred Brand: Any good brand, but not Dell, Sony or Asus. Maybe HP, Toshiba etc. I'm open to any brand suggestion

2. Budget: RM2000 - RM3200

3. Usage: Work(AutoCAD, various engineering software; most is heavy one), softwares like photo editing, subtitles-making, movie editing, web making software, video conversion etc; as for games, playing games like Plant vs Zombies, Red Alert etc, and of course movies (HD) and musics; internet (heavy usage)

4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 13" or 14"

previous experience: i have a Dell laptop (inspiron i think) got overheating problem, then the mousepad also cannot be use anymore. so don't want to experience this anymore. i oso want a longer battery life hours. less than 2kg weight

design: of course la, if possible nice2 one, but this doesn't really matter, but need a smooth finishing surface, easy to wipe and clean

OS: Windows 7 Professional



so suggestions anyone?

With 3k budget to buy a gaming laptop, why not opt for Asus N45SL(14 inches) or HP Dv6(15.6 inches)tongue.gif

QUOTE(badboy_lun @ May 3 2012, 02:39 PM)
Which brand is better? ASUS or Lenovo?
I heard from a seller from lowyat, he said that he never get a bad feed back from Lenovo user, and he told me Asus now starting to have prob.
Am going to get an ASUS but heard this, ughh ==

Definitely ASUS. My friend had bad experience with lenovo tho.

Try to look for these, they're EOLed already iinm, so the price will surely be cheaper :
U46Sv-WX023v, i5-2410M + Nvidia GT540M@RM2499[2.14kg]; USB3.0, Asus optical mouse
U46Sv-WX053v, i5-2430M + Nvidia GT540M@RM2599[2.14kg]; USB3.0, Asus optical mouse

Otherwise, this:
Lenovo Z470, i5-2450M + Nvidia GT540M@RM2149, 4GB, 500GB colors: Black/Pink

EOL = End of Life/Line... meaning their no longer being produced, but you might still be able to find remaining stocks (at lower prices, of course~) icon_rolleyes.gif
