Review Acer Aspire 3830TG (i7/SSD) Subnotebook

Throttling reloaded. If the Core i5 already moaned as a consequence of heat issues, what will a Core i7 do? Acer isn't afraid of taking risks and sets up a (potential) dream of mobility with an SSD, strong graphics and a swift processor and 8 GB of...

Adequate scope of interfaces; Generous keyboard; Fan partly inactive in idle; Very good battery life; Low power consumption operation; Very good gaming performance in 13.3 inches

CPU throttling down to 1.2 GHz; Port positioning; High-gloss screen; Poor display rates; Permanently built-in 6 cell battery

The low power consumption in idle and the good battery life. The case's slim looks are appealing

Review Acer Aspire 3830TG Subnotebook

Small Flaw, Big Effect. Acer has come out the with the new generation of Aspire TimelineX notebooks and the series wouldn't be complete without a 13.3" subnotebook. Speedy hardware, a classy design and a long battery life all sound pretty good. But how...

Snazzy Ice-Blue Design ; Decent Variety of Ports ; Generous Chiclet Keyboard ; Fans Usually Silent in Idle Mode ; Adequate Battery Life ; Low Power Consumption in Idle Mode

CPU gets Throttled Quickly, Even during Everyday Use (Gaming) ; Placement of Ports ; High-Gloss Screen ; Mediocre Display ; Hot under Heavy Use ; Poor-Quality Speakers ; Non-Removable Battery

A quick and easy fix to the CPU throttling issue that at times lowers the laptop's performance to below that of comparable subnotebooks

Does not boot up after 6 months

Bought this a little over 6 months. I used it at most 10 times due to the fact that I travel for work and have a work laptop. Therefore I keep this laptop at home in case I want to go on vacation. Recently I tried to turn on the laptop, and it just...

Laptop looks great and almost works great.

The laptop is lightweight and looks great. The problem I have with this laptop is the build quality. The first time I opened it I noticed that the top left corner of the laptop is slightly loose (but not too much). On day 3 I found out that the USB on...

Great Laptop

This laptop looks great, runs quickly, and has never had any problems. Also, this was far underplayed in the overview but the speakers are very loud and crisp.
