Acer 4520 Gemstone
http://global.acer.com/products/notebook/as4520.htm
Any users of this laptop? I would like to have first hand report about it. It is very cheap compared to the power pack features in it. With AMD I always fee `should I or Should I(Intel)'.My use will be medium,mainly working on internet,photoshop,excel etc.I am not going to move the machine much so no issue about battery but I need Wi-fi & bluetooth.Can you guide me,with which other laptop this can be compared with?I have compaq with me now & I am happy with it but now it is 3 years old & I find it bit slow.Pl. advise soon.

Re: Acer 4520 Gemstone
Yes, the Aspire 4520 is available in India. Comes with Turion X2 TL-56, 1GB DDR2 RAM, WiFi, Bluetooth and the regular notebook jazz. And a 160GB HDD too! All this for 35k. Mumbai dealers bundle other freebies like pendrives, mouse, carry bag in the same price 
But the new Gemstone design of these new Acer notebooks - you will either love it or hate it. Online pics you see don't reveal the true picture. So, make sure you have a look before buying it. The specs are nice, price is too.

Re: Acer 4520 Gemstone
Hi. I just bought this laptop. In first two days i didn't feel any heating issue, even after moderate usage for about 7 to 9 hours. I'll post in this thread after checking with some temperature measuring software.
Thank you..

Re: Acer 4520 Gemstone
Was trying to configure a friends Acer 4520. Great cool lappy and VFM 200%
Could install Win XP and Ubuntu Gusty on it
On Win XP everything got configured. Am having issues with Bluetooth. Though the drivers from the CD got loaded and the bluetooth icons is available in both the control panel and the taskbar, whenever I try to configure it, it says 'bluetooth device not found'.  I thought the lappy had bluetooth device inbuilt?? Was trying to set it up with a bluetooth enabled mobile.
Can anyone throw some light on it??  how to configure the lappy in Win XP to connect to a mobile with the bluetooth.
TIA

Re: Acer 4520 Gemstone
My friend went in for the Acer 4520 as he earlier had an acer lappy for about two years without any issues. As for build quality, the current gemstone design looks great - plus has a sturdy feeling too. And at 30K one cant really ask for better. I have checked out/used Compaq 6608AU (34K) and HP 6602 (43K) - and the Acer 4520 feels better than both. One has to just get used to the off white keyboard in the Acer as one constantly gets the feeling that this may get dirty quicker. Acer has got it right with 4520
