I like everything but the blue.

Here's to hoping there will be a more neutral color available.

Come on IMO neutral color is BORING.
We already have tons of laptops with neutral colour.
Blue is interesting it always is.
And your avatar is blue...

I was referring to the 3830t that we saw... sorry for the misunderstanding

Huh?

You're right...

I love that color ... my 1410T was that color blue.

Still not tempted to get rid of my 3820TG. I'll keep my dual fans and the island keyboard. I rarely push the GPU to its limits and I don't OC it very often. My CPU is more than enough for the tasks I perform. Nice to see how well the performance of this model is holding up.

I am also not a fan of the chicklet keyboards, like on the Sony. They are hard to type on at speed. I can really fly on the Acer KB.

I have my doubts about the keyboard too but then again Sony-style keyboards are widely praised- there's probably some getting-used-to involved but still...

To give the best sense of battery life, I copied these from that ??? ?? IT - ITC.UA Russian language (Ukrainian) review for the 4830T and an older review:

To summarize:

Battery Eater (load/max life)
4830T.: 2:07/9:32
3820TG: 1:28/6:07
1830T.: 2:13/5:17
1810T.: 4:10/9:44

So, if this is true (and it is hard to believe it is)...

Under low load the new 4820T gets battery life as good as the super slow 1st generation 1810T (CULV.) And 50% better battery life than the 3820TG.

Under load it is about as good as the 1830T (ULV i7.) Can't really compage under load to the 3820TG, since I don't think the 4830T included dedicated graphics.

Still amazing battery life- as good as some ULV predecessors but with a full voltage SandyBrdge I5.

To get a sense of how much more powerfull the CPU is, and yet gets comparable battery life:

PCMark05 CPU:
4830T.: 8263
3820TG: 6579
1830T.: 3163
1810T.: 2437

Thanks for info although it's Ukrainian review not a Russian one- it's not the same country you know...

Sorry, all I know is that Google has it translated from Russian.

My Great Grandparents were from Odessa, so I am aware of the difference

That is why I am done with ulv's.
