hrmm....considering buying these.....but is Acer's after sale service good? in term of warranty, is it hard to claim?

no.. maybe takes some working days. but this lappy really worth. i recommended it to every of my friend hehe buy it without hesitate...!

1. how many USB on this laptop
2. does the "ACER" word on the lid got light when turn on?
3. the speaker ok? does it have cracking sound when turn to max?

i wondering if the combination of pentium dual-core + ati radeon 3470 should be a perfect match for gaming performance, especially the high demanding ones e.g. call of duty 4, call of duty 5, devil may cry 4, command & conquer red alert 3, left 4 dead, dead space, prince of persia and other kinds of games available in market. i'm also wondering if the new acer aspire 4730gz should able to handle this high demanding games in market. is anyone trying this laptop before, please comment and share, who knows i would like to bought it one soon (hey hey hey...)

Today I actually brought RM2200 to Low Yat Plaza and hoping the sales personals there can convince me that 4730ZG is the laptop to buy right now. Some of those sales people didn't even know 4730ZG existed and some still pricing them at RM2399/RM2299 saying 'promo price'. I have to educate them somemore about 4730ZG. I have no confidence buying from those guys at all or even listen to their recommendation, they are suppose to know more about laptops than me.

Saw one sales person promoting Aspire 4530 (i think) at RM1999. AMD Turion 2.2, 3G RAM, 3 years warranty. It was listed RM2099 with 1GB and 1 year warranty. Afraid that I'll be taken a ride by those half cooked sales staff, I went home instead and do my own research.

There's a few shops that offer below the RSP of RM2199 and some throw in freebies, so I'll be heading back to Low Yat this weekend, bringing along an IT friend.

one additional question:
is pentium dual-core similar to amd turion 64 x2???

Last Remnant won't run well with this machine sad to say.

Medium settings all with Shadows to Low = 20fps
Low settings with Shadows turned off = 17fps.

Either the CPU is bottlenecked to hell or the infamous Ati performance on this game is that bad.

Acer logo on the lid will not light up.

quite

if i have extra cash , i will buy this for my brother

more worth than buying a 4530

Bro, do you get the frame rate correct? Low settings with shadows turned off should perform better.

I'm thinking to take this model to sell to LYN members? Is anyone interested?

Yep, this is in-battle performance. around 3 fps boost would either mean its severely CPU bottlenecked or the game really runs terribly on Ati cards.

I have a desktop with a 4850 and with shadows turned high would give 12fps in battles and shadows turned to low would give 75 fps or so. But this doesn't show on the notebook so I would lean towards the CPU bottle neck part.

Oh and it was running on native fullscreen which was 1280x800 IIRC.

I brought money to Low Yat Plaza today, but haven't bought yet. You still have chance. I'll be going back to LYP this weekend.

Added on March 26, 2009, 6:31 pmThat means the fps reads like this:
Medium settings all with Shadows to Low = 17fps
Low settings with Shadows turned off = 20fps.

Since the thoery now is CPU bottlenecking, do you/anyone have a software than can measure the CPU performance independent of the GPU?

You mean SuperPI or Vantage?

Ashburn, you got my PM.

You can use PC Mark Vantage, Super Pi and WPrime95 to determine the performance of the CPU.

wow so fast someone stocking this model ady ^^
if i got fren buying , i will recommend to you ya ^^

Thanks ya. Just doing LYN members a favor so that you guys can just wait for the notebook at doorstep.

Yoohoo~ Selling 4730ZG~ http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=977657

Superpi 1M - 30 seconds.

Last Remnant - All low with shadows turned off @ 800x480 Windowed.

looks great

what about the temperature and battery life???
im considering buying this during pc fair...

I think it's about 2.5-3 hours as usual. Do expect that the HD3470 may draw more power than integrated graphic card.

so all and all...
izzit worth buying it?? for that price range??
