Acer Aspire TimelineX 4820TG Owners Lounge

[Handa]

Hello again, never seen the 5820 version, which has a bigger screen. What you guys think about it? Is it same as 4820 but only with a bigger display?

I don't think it is sold in the US and most of the members are from there and not worth importing, but there is a review;

how did some ppl get the 5650 temps to show in HWMonitor?

also, has anybody had success in burning the factory default discs? i've gone through two verbatim dvd-r's.. they both got stuck during the verification stage (46% and 38%).. i was able to burn the drivers and apps disc with no problem though

also, does anybody have a guide on how to dual boot this with windows xp or even vista32?

finally, what is the "System Reserved" partition for?

the display model at microcenter wouldn't show 5650 temps, tested with hwmonitor and everest, but the one I bought did. Beats me, because they're both supposed to have default windows install...unless microcenter messed something up. If yours isn't showing, I'd try reinstalling drivers.

I saw that Jay. had a dual HDD setup with this laptop, sent him a PM to check what he bought but haven't gotten an answer. Does anyone know what caddy you need for it and where it can be ordered?

so


do you guys think the cooling in this 4820tg is just as effecient as the 3820tg?


one up that the 4820tg has over the 3820tg is that it seems it uses the full 16x pci lane

hey guys

i cant seem to update to the ati 10.7 drivers. here's what i did:

1. ati drivers installed from acer driver CD.
2. reboot into discrete mode
3. install 10.7 in discrete mode.

however i dont think it worked, because it didn't ask me to reboot at the end of the installation, and gpuz still shows the old driver version from the acer cd 8.713.3.3000
