After struggling nearly 1 week, finally i've chosen 4930G-732G25 in pc fair on the spot with great surprise
Well, what happened yesterday was like this...
My bro, my dad and I went to pc fair in klcc at 10.30. We managed to find the convention centre at 1o.45am. We thought that we were top 100 early birds but.... wow... what we saw was the stair case full with ppl, even the cafeteria which is below the fair spot was so crowded.. quote chinese idioms: "people mountain people sea''.
We waited patiently until the gate opened at 11pm. At the moment the gate open, we saw lots of people mainly guys were rushing towards the booth. We were teasing their funny actions... then.. you know what happen?? I got to know that they are rushing for a FREE external hard disk which cost around RM200. Wow... How come i didn't know that a pc magazine is offering this great promotion. The 1st 100 people will get a free external hard disk with condition of subscribe it for a year... I was told by one of the stuff that first 100 people will got the hard disk for free as well. So what are you waiting for?? Hopefully you all see my thread and got some great stuff.
Ok, back to the point. I was surveying around the pc fair and i found out Acer lappy comes out with Fantastic Features and Affordably Price.... wow... I wanted to buy a 4920G for RM2999 online price but wtf* those f**ker changed strategy. They seling 4920G for RM3099( OR RM3199)??? I told the fella online price is RM2999 how come now more expensive than online price?? He give me a very good explaination with "We dunno", WTF*???? That fella was simon who working in lowyat as a full time job, he is the one under supervisor. He actually dunnno a single thing about lappy, i wonder how come he can work for so long in lowyat as a SUPERVISOR...
Oh yea, sorry for keep on condenming people.. hehe.. The simon guy introduce me a 4930G.. wow.. fantastic... I love it at the first sight. The spec of 4930G:

Intel centrino 2 processor Technology
Intel core 2 duo processor P7350
(2 GHz, 3 MB cache, 1066MHz FSB)
Intel wireless wifi link 5100 network connection(with n)
Mobile intel 45PM express chipset
Genuine windows vistra home premium
250GB sata HDD / 2 GB DDR2 RAM
14.1 WXGA CrystalBrite TFT color& dual display via Acer GridVista supporting 1280x800 16:10 rsolution

*For every purchase of 4930 series will free RCG face recognition technology, canon 1p 1880 printer worth Rm299, sonic gear m2 momento speaker.

Price is RM3399, If you bargain kao kao like me, you will get RM3360 if u pay cash.
Be careful when u wanna upgrade the warrantee to 3 years, coz they will tell you upgrade to 3 years is RM 285 or something... But when u look at the brochure at left bottom, you will see extend to 3 years coverage only 27sen per day. So 0.27x365x2years=RM$197.1only. End up I just pay for RM195 to extend to 3yrs waranty. I bought 3 laptop... hehe... 2 is 4930G and 1 is 4920G(only rm2399 after student rebate, wahahahah).
Please remember to ask for free gift. They got extra headphone, mouse, laptop lock and cooler pad.
Must find supervisor if u want to buy. Ask them to give at least all the freebies that i listed here.


OK, i'm done. Trying my lappy out. Wish you all be a wise consumer like me... hehe...

Got 2930 or not, nice buy, great to hear you extend 3 years warranty,

I don't see this model on the Malaysian Acer site... the global one however does have this model in its list

EDIT: Sorry, it's not listed in the drop down menu but a search does show it exist... looks like they never update their product listings properly

Added on August 3, 2008, 5:59 amFunny, I can't get much information on the P7350 processor...

This post has been edited by SySTeM_eRRoR: Aug 3 2008, 05:59 AM

the P processor is brand new type, i have no idea about it as well. But Asus did promote this type of processor in new coming laptop. Erm... 1 question... 9300M GS means?? lousy gc?? Hehe bmd... another 1 for my sister. the 2920. Nice spec with super low price..
I dun think have blue-ray inside since i din see anyone of that in pc fair..

Added on August 3, 2008, 10:31 pmhow to do benchmark? is it like 4930g club??
What's that for?? Just for those who using the same lappy can help each other...

Added on August 3, 2008, 10:32 pmerm... i renewed my post ady.. last time was incomplete, i wrote there "to-be-continue right? hope you all read again ya...

This post has been edited by Chuanmok: Aug 3 2008, 10:32 PM

yes, 9300M GS is a class 3 notebook gc
if gaming is not really important to you
9300M GS should be sufficient for now

i play dota wor... i thought the higher digit the better?? like Geforce 9300 is better than 8100?
Class 3 notebook gc means what??

although it is class 3 but still ok lar.. its just like 8400 mah..
if u want to think bout 9500 and 8600 then sure need higher budget.
class 3 still can do a lot of gaming. dota sure can.. of coz COD4 and Crysis will big problem lar...

to ur question.. higher digit does not mean better...
high end 8 series is much much better than low end 9 series.
so like 8600 and 8800 are much better than 9100 and 9300..
9500 is almost like 8600...

oic.... ermm i dunno what makes my lappy slow, i think maybe i installed use firewall. erm.. bmd.. could u plz tell me some useful software for my beloved lappy?? like antivirus.. it comes with mcAfee, but i think kaspersky 7 is better since it stable and rated 2nd top antivirus award. and i would like to install pc tools spyware doctor. Of couse i looking for Cra*k 1. You can pm me if here is sensitive place to talk to..... thx...

ur laptop slow already?? so fast?? how much ram is in it?? how much available memory left (check in task manager under performance)...
ya.. antivirus eat resources... hmm... i dont get why can be slow... try to define slow... like what happen and what u were using..

erm... it ask for upgrade windows so often, and everytime i start up my lappy prompt control panel.. haiz.. and t show what setting wizard and all that... Erm.. maybe i never use vista before.. ram is 2gb.. it comes with mc afee but ppl said mcAfee occupied alot of space in pc system.. i prefer kaspersky

Hmm..the minimum ram required to use Vista is 2gb ram..u got it..so i dont think it's the primary cause.Kaspesky does consume some ram..but u got 2gb ram over there..dont think antivirus programme can affect ur pc that much..u may try using Nod32 antivirus program..i am using it now..it consume MINIMAL ram usage..very good...

Another reason ur lappie slow down mayb coz ur lappie is infected?Try running a manual scan.

Or type /msconfig in the "RUN" column.Close those unneccessary application and mayb ur lappie will be smooth again.

nod32 is useless it cant scan a virus...
anyway.. thx for ur info =)

like Duckies said.. disable unnecessary application from msconfig.
about antivirus , i suggest avira. uninstalled any av software before attempting to installed another to avoid conflict..

to add, try check on this software too: ccleaner.com

cool. are they any cheaper n do they offer freebies as well or they're very rigid n formal regarding the prices?

on a sidenote, do you know any reference for parallel-imported models that are not supported by HP malaysia?

you can try nego the price abit
but i think also cannot cut much, all fixed for all PC FAIRs around msia
you will get a canon p1880 printer, a Sonic Gear M2 Speaker, and a dunno wat original software cd
the freebies are fixed for all 4930series purchase

hmmm okay.. what bout the warranty then? for the additional 2 years. it's rm298 but i heard we could get it at a lot cheaper right?

If ur lucky enough,mayb u will get freebies like cooling pad,mouse and headset..the price doesnt actually shows much difference..mayb around 10-50 bucks discount

a grab extra laptop safety lock, cooler pad, headphone, mouse.. etc
hehe...

btw the win vista home premium is 32bit or 64bit

what is Hybrid??

so expensive!

my dell vostro, 45nm technology processor, 1920x1200lcd, slot in type dvd rw, 4GB ram, graphic card not as good as u.

If i am not mistaken,win vista home premium is 32 bit..correct me if i am wrong.



How much u bought urs?When did u bought it?

can i ask for supercare warranty and a 360 controller as freebies? xD

or maybe a 8GB pendrive too..

i wanna get a mx518, qck mini, razer m250 n notepal infinite.

do you think they're gonna offer it?

LOL!U think leh?XD

fine, i'll buy those by myself..

i brought 1 of this acer 4930 at pcfair also....but it come wit buildin gc HD4500 something like tat....1gb ram and Linux/DOS others all the same as TS spec. i got it for Rm2870 + those freebies. and the supprise freebies i got is preloaded Vista Home Premium. Ori OEM vista..... some more the HDD got 2 partition as EISA drive got all those windows recovery thing.... notice at my lappy back cover there....the vista license sticker has been tear off by some1..cause got some those sticky tape stain attach on it

is the buildin gc of my model good? can play game also? i upgrade my ram to 4gb ady for RM230

for normal use? no problem

demand so high?someone make a review lar.....polish acer name =.=''

9300M GS should remain use 175.61 driver

waddya mean?

btw 'm really curious why urs shows 9400 instead of 9300..

I saw Digital Mall got alot of stock for this model...

i test run on both 175.61 and 177.79/177.37 driver
still 175.61 driver perform better in 3dmark05

i order from acer already 1 week+.. still not getting it yet
the demand so high that it always out of stock.

new model mah

design also beautiful

the ACER logo on the cover lid got light 1
i think all blue gemstone the same
just the keyboard layout there slightly different

lol so unique got light 1 -.-'' i thought normal logo nia

hmmm.. maybe someone should make this thread an official thread for 4930g or create a new one so that we can discuss more bout it..

1 week plus still not getting it? aiyo.. where did u buy from?

well, 4530 dsnt have it.. just the logo without backlight..

you ask chuanmok edit the first page and title lo

my GOD!!!!! I extend 3 years waranty for RM195 even im a student. And i told them i dun want freebies(the canon printer) but they said cannot, it comes with the printer wor. What the... So mine is RM3399+195(3years waranty). But i grab headphone, laptop lock, mouse, speaker(very nice, the supervisor said she gave me the wrong 1, this is the expensive 1 cost RM90 something, whole black color, got a bit red inside, can plug in hp and play music directly, small and easy to carry.. i like it), cooler pad and of course comes with casing. Should i open a 4930G club??
Erm.. I already bought it and paid for 3 years waranty for RM195, They din tell me student got free waranty even they know i am a student as i told them, that's y i bought 4920G at student price. So now can i claim back the money?
Erm.. Heartbreak.
There are still many application i havent start using.. all like rubbish le, coz mostly trial version. I wanna get some free 1

there are already 4930G club..

you bought it during pc fair right?

well, i'm not sure if you could go back and argue wit em.. i mean, bargain.. well just give it a try laaa..

and also you might wanna consider re-installing windows vista as i'm told it's usually bloated when you buy any laptop that comes wit vista installed.

yea maybe chuanmok should close this thread already..

My god.. Since when got a 4930G club? I just wanna discuss here.. not making a club.. And here seems to be a nice place to talk about 4930G
Oh ya, so u re-installed your vista? Erm... i dun think they will pay back la. If can i wanna sell the printer back to them. haha... sounds impossible.
About the waranty, i havent apply it online since they gave a green card inside got instruction to apply waranty online. Erm... so troublesome ler....
aND 4930g COMES WITH alot of rubbish software

Added on August 14, 2008, 11:29 amHow do u hax?? Can u share ur experience? what effect to ur lappy after u hax??
Is it better to hax? any risk regarding to this???
By default 1gb ram?? i thought all comes with 2gbram?? Still not enuf meh?? Is it advisible to upgrade to 4gb ram? Shinasuka, u said 2gbram cost rm115, meaning now i upgrade to 4gb only need to pay rm115 coz it comes with 2gb original ram..
