Acer Aspire V3-771G-9665 Notebook Intel Core i7 2670QM(2.20GHz) 17.3" 8GB Memory 750GB HDD 5400rpm DVD Super Multi NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M

Pros: Great Laptop.
Screen Quality - 5/5 - 1080 makes this thing extremely crisp
Speed- 5/5 - i7 CPU is amazingly fast and at this price, you can't go wrong.
GPU- 5/5 - 640m GPU is really good. Played BF3 at high quality with at ~60fps.

Quality- 5/5 - this laptop is built well and the keyboard feels good w/o any indication of keys becoming loose or broken.

Cons: The mouse pad is a little too close to my left hand for me. ONce in a while when typing i will scroll somewhere and mess up my typing. This can get a bit annoying.

Other Thoughts: Great laptop specs for the price. Can't beat it.

Pros: Really fast, great video, plays games great (WoW and Diablo III)

Cons: After about a week of use, both shift keys simultaneously started getting buggy, stopped working and started again, and eventually stopped working altogether.

Other Thoughts: Really liked the computer overall, but the shift key issue is a big problem. In contact with Acer at the moment to have it taken care of.

Pros: Very fast, nice graphics plays most games. big screen. great price. True Quad core I7. Be careful guys....some mobile i7's are not quad core! Upgradeable to ivy bridge and WILL take 32gb cas 9 ram....if you can find it. Smooth transition between on board and nvidia graphics when you start a game. m-sata port next to memory slots. 4 memory slots and 2 hard drive bays!

Cons: Not an ivy bridge. screen has bad viewing angles and is not full hd!(1600x900 not 1920x1080) not as bright as some screens i've seen. Fan can get loudish but not unbearable. Screen is kind of bendy...care must be taken when opening to avoid screen/hinge damage. "piano black" finish attracts fingerprints/dust like mad...after 5 minutes out of the box it looked dirty. no blue-ray. Does not come with Hard drive bracket for second bay, but easily acquired for under $25 at acerparts.ca

Other Thoughts: Had it for 3 weeks now and running great. Upgraded to a vertex 4 and 32gb ram. relegated the 5400rpm spinner to the other bay for storage. this machine is great desktop replacement that plays games great at a great price!

Pros: A great screen and quite zippy fast. Love the computer. If you're looking for a computer that can run CS6 nicely and all the programs that go along with that, this is it.

Cons: Well, we needed to return the first one we had due to the yellow streak across the monitor. This happened about three weeks into our ownership. Heard this is caused by some rare hardware issue. Not to sure. Sent in an RMA which has been processed fast. (More a pro than a con.) So I have to knock off an egg for this reason.

Other Thoughts: Other than the screen's yellow streak, this computer is awesome. Just don't be cheap and not get the warranty with it. I'll update again once I get in my new one.

Pros: As always, Acer combined with Newegg spells quality products for great prices. You probably won't find laptops from other manufacturers at this price range with the same specs.

Cons: A broken plastic socket along with the screw inside was discovered when I opened my CD drive for the first time. I don't really use CDs anymore so that shouldn't be a big deal, hopefully that won't bite me in the rear in the future.

Other Thoughts: I'm very happy with Acer and Newegg as I get the most for my money. Big props to both companies and I hope to see the same each time I return to shop.

Pros: -Very well priced relative to its high specs
-USB 3.0
-17 inch screen
-Larger and slightly more comfortable keyboard than an average laptop

Cons: -Low resolution for such a large screen size
-Practically unusable mousepad, stiff and hard to use without having it absorb your skin oils first
-The left and right mouse buttons are gigantic and the buttons can only be pressed from the outside, making it even more uncomfortable to use
-Keyboard is garbage, as are all laptop keyboards
-Comes filled with bloatware although it is manageable and not as invasive as Dell's or Lenovo's in my experience
-You get some of the worst technical and customer support in computing history

Other Thoughts: So far the laptop is promising and is very well priced for it's specifications, a deal unprecedented in any other store. Hopefully it isn't too good to be true.

Pros: The hardware you get for the price is incredible. BF3 and Guild Wars 2 play very well. It also has 4 slots for Ram and only two are in use and the extra hard drive bay is nice.

Cons: Black glossy finish shows fingerprints! Small price to pay for the hardware specs at this price point though. Hard drive is slow (5400rpm). I would recommend a SSD in the free slot (doesn't come with caddy).

Other Thoughts: BF3 64 player multiplayer on High (20-30FPS) Medium (30-40FPS) Low(45+FPS)

This thing does warm up during gaming the i7 can approach 90C and the GPU can approach 70C. So i would recommend a cooler if you plan to use it for extended heavy gaming.

Pros: This is a great gaming machine for people who can't afford those thousand dollar gaming rigs. The i7 paired with the 640m along with 8gb of ram, you can max out Mw3 and get HIGH settings on Bf3.

Cons: I don't like the size, it's a little big. Also you WILL get fingerprints on it, but that is a small price to pay.

Other Thoughts: Couple hundred bucks short for an Alienware? Get this.

Pros: Same as the last guy with a little research i could not find a better deal anywhere. Big 17 inch screen, GReat gpu, 16gig max memory, and two hdd slots. Once upgraded using previous guys instructions on how to install the ssd. it zooms..

Cons: none that i can think of

Other Thoughts: I have tried MSI gaming laptops and even alienware. I would put this laptop up against them all. it screams through wow and bf. League of legends while streaming is a breeze everything while going at 70+ fps with full graphics

Pros: I bought this after reading the reviews on several of the Acer V3 laptops so I knew to order the HDD bracket and SSD hard drive at the same time. I also added an additional 8GB RAM. Everything arrived on the same day as planned. Installation of the additional memory and SSD drive was a breeze. adding the SSD (128GB) and 8GB of ram only added 130 to the cost. so 879 for this powerhouse is unbeatable go ahead and try! This machine screams! Office apps simply blink into action! no load time at all. Boots up, ready to go in under 10 seconds! And dont even get me started on gaming. BF3, WOW, everything plays at max resolution with zero lag. I am happy. Now a few notes for those of you following my footsteps. First make a system backup image. The ACER includes a utility to create restore disks. Then you can remove the existing hard drive and install the SSD. Do NOT install the original HDD in the second bay yet! Boot from your restore disks that you just made and follow the restoration process. Once you have completed this THEN install the original drive into the secondary drive bay. the reason is if you install it before you restore your system on the SSD drive it will boot up from the original drive even though it is in the secondary bay. Now you could probably go into the bios and mess with the boot sequence but this is easier and foolproof! You can add the additional ram whenever you like I actually added it when I installed the SSD. I played BF3 for 9hrs straight without a hiccup, no stability issues at all. Like I said all in all this is an unbeatable deal. I would not hesitate to put this up against an Alienware that costs 3X the price!

Cons: Are you kidding! ok, the piano black finish shows fingerprints easily. Buy a cool skin off fleabay and problem solved. Oh and bag selection is severly limited for laptops of this size!

Other Thoughts: I am a very wary purchaser and spent many, many hours researching laptops before aquiring this one and I am pleased to say it paid off! Get it while the getting is good is all I can tell you!
