At this point in time I would pay someone to buy one from Malaysia and ship it to the US. The wait is killing me.

You are probably better off trying to find a store in Singapore to ship it to you. Before I bought my first 3820TG from Computeruniverse in Germany, I was talking to Firdouse in Singapore and they were willing to ship a 3820TG to me in the US. I would also expect that PCHome will have these units soon as well. A number of US owners bought theirs from PCHome.

Use Chrome, it translates enough for you to order a unit. Here is list of Singapore Stores from the Asus Club. ASUS Singapore Official Fan Club | Facebook The third one on the list is the store I was dealing with last year. My experience is that they are easier to deal with on the phone. They are not really good about email. Or, you could just wait until Canada gets the new units.

Thanks for the information. Do these places have a web presence? I am googling now and cannot find a website for Firdouse. Just directions to the store.

Man, these laptops would be sweet if they didn't have some ugly blue and poor screens..

Are there any reviews on the temperatures? Revamperz, can you run a few tests and game to see how high the temperatures reaches? i want to see if the cooling on the newer timelinex model is any better compared to the previous models.

Hi I'm new and from Spain, so sorry about my english.
Here and in some pages, say that the screens are bad. I have a TravelMate 4230 since 4 years, I don't know the quality of the screen, but it can't be better than the used on the new TimelineX, right?
I want a timelinex since the last year (then was the 3820 my objective) and now it's the 3830 what I want; so I think in my case, the screen don't have to be a negative point.
With the battery built-in, the capacity of this it's 6 cells, this can give more than 6 hours?

Welcome. Your english is better than my spanish.

Under minimal use you should get close to the advertised 8 hrs. I think people get around 5 to 6 hrs.

can the acer be compared to the sony sa ? i guess the only differences are the screen resolution and quality?
