This review is from: Acer Laptop Aspire AMD A8-4500M 4GB Memory 500GB HDD AMD Radeon HD 7670M 15.6" Windows 8 V3-551G-8454
Pros:
A total of $495 with ram and free two day shipping. Easy upgrade to 8gb of ram from the start. Snappy boot time of <10 seconds. The A8 is performing way better than expected at a constant 2.5+ghz. Thus far I've played Far Cry 3 and Skyrim, both of which easily run high graphics without any lag. I've heard lots of people complain about this laptop's heat, but my $30 fan seems to be doing the trick. The dual graphics are awesome. I also expected the speakers to be A LOT worse based on other reviews. I mean they are laptop speakers, but they aren't terrible. Definitely loving it thus far.
Cons:
Learning to use Windows 8 is really the only con I have, and I actually kind of like it. Says a lot.
Overall Review:
Definitely pickup the extra ram. It's cheap and especially so with the incredible performance boost. I'd recommend this laptop to anyone with a budget along with the ram upgrade before any other laptop that I have found below $700.
