hello.. i have a question. i bought this laptop about a 3-4 weeks ago.. worry fine.. getting about 4-5 hours on normal usage.. web(tons of tabs).. songs(wmp).. excel.. words.. downloading... wifi on(and most probably working at full speed as im downloading a 1.4GB movie) and amd off.. bring to college everyday but its doesn't feel heavy at all. i want to know one thing.. wat the the little hole below the specs on the right?.. is it the mic hole?.. coz i cant find the mic hole.. lol
Best laptop for the price. I bought mine 699$ CAN (roughly 750 $US). What's great too is that you can output to two monitors at the same time. I have just posted a video on that. :)
I got the same machine except I have the i5 430 2.26ghz. I love it. Does a great job of both video editing and gaming. The battery doesn't get the advertised time but will go for an easy 5 hours.
I'm about to get one, and am curious about the battery. Apparently, the one I'm getting comes with a 6-cell 66Wh one, but it is fully embeded into the 'silhouette' of the laptop. The one I see you inserting into the laptop has that extra bit protruding downwards - is that an extra option? Or is it simply an older battery model? Also, I see some 3820TG's that are made mostly out of plastic, while some have at least the lid made of aluminium. Which one do you have? (Exact model number please...)
@Th3LightCloud On my laptop I have 9-cell battery, that's why it's bigger. Battery was original part of this model, the exact model number is 3820TG-5454G50n.
@TheHulluu I wish I could get one in my country. The 6-cell is quite enough, but I prefer as much as possible... Do you have the model number for that 9-cell battery? Google can't seem to find anything about it...
@Superfrankee Well while playing games in high settings temperature is around 65-78 celsius, but not over that on my laptop. I use high display settings except anti-aliasing is off. Noise isn't problem, fans are pretty silent considering how powerful this laptop is. If used in silent room or at night then it makes some noise, but even then it's not very much.
@Shine860530 Sry, you're wrong. Mac's are just PC's with fancy white plastic around them. They have older parts and they cost so damn much. The OS migh be better or worse, but the machine itself is total ripoff.
Some people say that the display bends and feels cheap, but I have used many laptops and I've been fixing many and many of them at work and I know that this display doesn't bend if you use it properly. If you don't care at all and just use laptops as paperweight then it is your own fault when something breaks.
Only bad thing in this laptop at the moment is keyboards design, the keys might get little wobbly after long time use, but it takes lot of writing and misuse. Okay there is another thing but its not about the laptop, its the Acer's support, that stinks.
@NDogg15 There were also 4820TG model which has 14" screen and dvd-drive, but I chose this model because in 4820TG there is only one cooler so it gets ridiculously hot. 3820TG is about 15-20 degrees of celcius colder.
