Notebook Check did a review on the Acer 3830TG Review Acer Aspire 3830TG Subnotebook - Notebookcheck.net Reviews They mentioned the throttling issues in various Acer models and mentioned ThrottleStop 3.00 from Tech | Inferno but never did any proper testing to see how or if ThrottleStop could help out with this problem. Translation: We couldn't find our asshole with both hands and our review was mostly done so we didn't bother to put any effort into figuring out what ThrottleStop was all about. We're lazy so we'll wait for Acer to figure something out. ThrottleStop has turned many throttling Acer laptops into something that was a lot more usable and didn't run like a slug. If you end up with one of these, give ThrottleStop a shot and it might be able to continue the tradition of fixing things when the manufacturer decides to ship a half ass product that doesn't live up to the specifications.

Usually i mod my Alienware's to make them unique but in the case of the M18X is not much i can do because i love the Gunmetal" color so the only thing i tough would be good and protect the machine was this carbon fiber vinyl over the palmrest I didn't realize how good it feels and look until i install it makes the palmrest a lot better than the stock because is not sticky and there is no more fingerprints all over the place also protect the finish what i think is really important for a lot of people

I know this is primarily a laptop forum, who can pass up a "minor" update to a nice desktop though? EDIT: Didn't even see custom worklog forum, mod please feel free to move.

Basically, make a list of all the ports that you and your family use. Find everything. Then, block everything else and unblock as needed. AVG link scanner will be useful. Personally, I don't actually use an antivirus any more. I know the actions an antivirus will take to remove a virus, and can do it manually just as good (and take up no system resources doing it). I dont go to porn sites or warez sites and run fanboi's list in adblock and dont open EXE's/etc in emails. Simply doing that has meant I have not had a virus in the last 6+ years. -Ash
