Great Laptop

Acer Laptop Aspire Intel Core i7-2670QM 8GB Memory 1TB HDD NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M 17.3" Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit V3-771G-9697
Acer Laptop Aspire Intel Core i7-2670QM 8GB Memory 1TB HDD NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M 17.3" Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit V3-771G-9697

Pros: -Slick design, very flashy -4 hour battery life running integrated (roughly an hour @ 100% usage) -About an hour or so running on the Nvidia GPU @ 100% usage -Two HDD slots -Supports up to 16GB of RAM -1600x900 resolution as opposed to the 1366x768 resolution on other laptops -Vent on the side rather than in the back -Speakers have excellent sound quality being a laptop

Cons: -Finger print magnet -Both HDD's @5400RPM, quite slow for today's standards -Power button feels flimsy -Touchpad is slightly unresponsive, although I just use my naga so this is no problem to me. -Webcam has very poor quality, microphone is OK -The keyboard has very small arrow keys, although it's not really a big deal.

Overall Review: I'm able to play Skyrim on High 1600x900 with the HD textures Addon at around ~40FPS average. It runs Borderlands 2 maxed (Low PhysX) @ ~45fps I recommend upgrading the hard drives to SSD or higher rpms and purchasing an external mouse. Also, I reformatted to a fresh copy of Windows 7 64bit to save some time removing bloatware, which this thing came with a ton of it. Overall, great price for a laptop.
