Thanks Mr.LKM for your reply. Ya I know how to change the focus by turning the physical lens. I'm dissapointed because the image quality is just so-so compared to my cap ayam 1.3MP webcam. Moreover, the focus is ONLY equally good as my cap ayam webcam when I use the Philips SPC900NC webcam with the Vlounge software. Other webcam softwares like Cyberlink Power Director, webcammax, K3CCD and VH Multicam Studio, the quality of the image captured by Philips SPC900NC is blurred and bad and this rules out the possibilty of using the Philips SPC900NC webcam for a picture in picture video shooting with other webcams. There is no such problem with the laptop's built-in Acer Crystal Eye webcam and also my Cap Ayam 1.3MP webcam which I bought for RM50+ in 2006. I think the problem lies with the Vista Driver.

For a webcam that is touted to be the World's Best when I bought it at lelong.com for a clearance price of RM153, it is dissapointing.

But hey, Mr.LKM is selling ler....check it out http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=ST&f...0#entry24653507

Edit: my mistaken.

According to the Window Experience Index, the CPU scores 5.0 [mistaken it at 4.0] while ATI Radeon HD3470 scored 4.0 [mistaken at 3.0]. There's also a big lag difference between 1028x768 with 800x600 resolution while playing Last Remnant. I would say the bottleneck is at ATI HD 3470. This is my observation but I'm too lazy to install benchmarking tools.

You sure the score is only 3.0? Is Last Remnant fully playable at this reso with ati 3470? BTW For those who ask whether Processor is the bottleneck to the gpu, i think they might have over-estimated the strength of ati 3470.

Thanks for spreading the words.

Hmm... You may be right about the driver problem. By the way, I haven't opened mine from the box which is still mint in condition. Did you adjust the resolution to the highest?

Of course I did. You bought one too? Please try it on a Vista OS to confirm.

before this also aim this model , but compaq design more beautiful ..

at last go for 401ax
btw nice spec

800x600 windowed for Last Remnant playing is no problem at all. I am playing LR on my desktop on 16*0 x 14*0 resolution windowed at max settings without lag so I can subjectively judge the lag difference. Anyways, nothing beats the results of objective benchmarking.

I went to get a USB hub today at Low Yat and asked the price for 4730ZG. You can still find RM2199 with some freebies but there's significantly lesser 4730GZ display units on the laptops booths as compared to a week before PC Fair. I think Acer is phrasing this model out.

I installed Devil May Cry 4 in this laptop, and the performance awed me (at least me). By playing the performance testing mode for Direct-X 9.0, the lappy would get 16-25fps while Direct-X 10 around 12-20fps. I'm all smiles!

thats nice..im running fine on this laotop

Is it? Really smooth?

Smooth..... just slight noticeable lag when there're too many monsters around (8-9)

Just recommended another friend on budget to get this lappy..
Called me few hours after purchase saying that he is totally satisfied with the lappy's performance.

acer aspire 4730zg still available yet in Malaysia?

yesh..u can find it at lowyat or anywhere..not everywhere la..most places..i think(correct me if im wrong) but prices are slightly..maybe..need nego?
Mr LKM got supply?=D

lol..good to hear all are doing great with the lappy le .. means the quality for Acer improved for this model.

my friend who just bought this lappy broke his lcd screen . changed the whole lcd for rm700.. wonder my friend got con.

Where did your friend change?
Acer center at Times Square?

doesn't this lappy come with 3 years warranty? what makes ur friend's LCD broke?

If you broke it by yourself I don't think it will be covered by warranty.

Well, how was 'broke it by yourself' defined? What happened to your friend LCD?
