your battery won't be overcharge la...you think got 120% mehz?
but i guess it will automatically use the adaptor's power...HOWEVER...it is advisable to remove the battery if you using it for long hours after charging..because the battery can and will lose its battery life if you "overcharge" it...
i took at look at the 3280 model...here's wat it says...
"With Acer ePowerManagement, the TravelMate 3280 utilize the most efficient power mode for the job at hand, conserving battery life and extending productivity."
thats the power management you have i guess...
for your second question..you must understand your comp has its limitations...if you wanna play battlefield 2...better start praying that it does not shut down by itself and produce a burning...my fren's acer laptop played dota and it shut down and had this burning smell coming out...imagine battlefield 2...
if u wanna play simple games..like those less demanding in graphics..i suppose its not a problem...but try to get it cool...a external fan or a air-con room will help...5 hours is not a problem la...
your laptop is different from those on the market as it has been specifically designed to be economical and for student usage...plus the schools don't want you to be spending time playing games...so you have to understand the limitations... -
just pray hard that ur batch is good...

As far as I know, Acer laptops doesn't have this feature whereby they will auto cut off the power when it is fully charged.Originally posted by redarmyland:hi all i have recently ordered this acer travelmate 3282wxmi laptop frm my poly school....wish to know if i leave the A/c charger plug into that laptop with the battery in it...will there be a possibility where the battery will be overcharged?

If you are using the laptop and charging it, you can safely leave the charger on, though not recommended because prolong charging can shorten the battery's lifespan. If you are not using the laptop, but charging it, be careful. Some Acer laptops have been damaged this way when the battery has been fully charged yet the owner doesn't know. It overheats and damaged the motherboard.
For your 2nd question, you can use the laptop for very long hours, but you better keep it in a cool room, because it will heat up significantly in room temperature after a few hours. A cool room will be able to keep the temperature down for a few more hours if you intent to play for long. -
Thanks guys for ur answer.....well i guess there are still PROs and CONs on this acer laptop too.....looks like i will use external fan to cool it down lol....
But i heard ppl saying that this laptop if on for long time will be very hot and will bring discomfort if place ur plam on the keyboard...is it true? -
well...its bearable la..depends on where the parts of your laptop is located...for example...if below your keyboard is the processor/harddisk...it is likely to be heated up more easily...Originally posted by redarmyland:Thanks guys for ur answer.....well i guess there are still PROs and CONs on this acer laptop too.....looks like i will use external fan to cool it down lol....

The areas beside the touchpad will heat up within a few hours, but not to the extent of it burning so no worries. Use it in a well-ventilated room and it should run nicely. Used my laptop for hardcore 140mb photoshop editing before and it still runs well after several hours
