Acer TimelineX 3830/4830/5830 T/G

I will simply say that there is a lack of basic physics. I dont want to extend this anymore.

Just a reminder, the current pass through a material due to the excitation of the electrons.

Now to finish the OT

So the russian forum got any pics yet, or is there another place? And the ethos line hos is their build quality?

He said he would post pictures of the 4830 he has on hand - but has not done so thus far.

The spec seems right. The Turks based 6650 should be very interesting combined with the natural boost in performance / clock that comes from SB.

I am less sure about the Ethos design. IMO it would look great.

Indeed if the AMD cpu took its toll its going to be a great gpu.

Since I own one notebook with poor build quality, and i would have to trash it in 2 years instead of the always goal of 3, then I want something with good build quality.

I agree with the ethos design looks great, too bad the models released weight a ton.

I don't know if I can stand this crappy LCD much longer.

lol, I just ordered the acer 4820TG, thinking that it wont be until May that they release the 4830TG, performance boost will be minimal, and the starting price might be around $1,000. Is the screen really that bad? I'm coming off of a 4 year old Asus F9S.

To those worried about power consumption/battery life:

Consumption can go as low as 8-12W at idle.

Basicaly the ULV parts now are just regular chips with lower caps on MHz and voltage, the regular chips when the power is not needed can enter the same envelope of the ULV chips.

Well, it's certainly shaved a few watts off of power draw. The i5s are winning at right around 10W average over time, current i7 gens show about 15W, and the next gen one is down to 12W. If they can shave 2 or 3 idle or mostly idle Watts off the draw of the i5 next gen that would be the CPU to wait for.

Well may be the new one has the same lcd i don/t see any thing about the lcd in the specification

Thank you! Finally someone answered my question! The current 3820TG comes with a 66Wh battery, would the extra 5Wh in the review unit have made any noticeable difference (30mins or more)? And if so, how much?

5Whr * 5.86 Minutes/Whr = 29.3 Minutes less if based on that graph..
