Acer Laptop Aspire Intel Core i7 2nd Gen 2670QM (2.20GHz) 6GB Memory 750GB HDD AMD Radeon HD 6650M 17.3" Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit AS7750G-9411

Pros: Wonderful machine! Out-performs many friends gaming desktops, while staying cool and quiet. I keep it on a laptop cooling mat just for some extra protection, because I think one of the biggest life-shorteners for laptops is heat. Keyboard has a great feel to it, and the speakers are pretty good(my last laptop was a toshiba with the Harmon/Kardon speakers in it, which were amazing) but all in all, it delivers great sound for what its got. It can play all of my games on mid/high settings, I just got Skyrim a few weeks back and it can run it on high settings with absolutely no lagging! Amazing machine!

Cons: I don't like the "one big button" for the mouse on the trackpad, but I use a wireless mouse 99% of the time anyways so that is a tiny tiny thing. I would have liked 4 usb inputs, but 3 will do me Battery doesn't last too long, but hey its a beast of a computer, I wasn't expecting it to

Overall Review: Newegg shipping is amazing! I literally got this in one day, and didn't even pay for the overnight express shipping. I love the texture of the laptop, its like a non-slip grip kinda surface, and even the back of the screen is textured that way. I love it because my last computer had the glossy finish on the keyboard and everything else, so it was fingerprint city haha Overall I give this computer 5 out of 5, I;d give it more if it meant anything

Pros: This is my third laptop in the last 6 years and I have to say it's my favorite by far. Solid material. Keys are nicely raised and easy to press. The keyboard layout is extremely comfortable. The overall quality of the laptop feels extremely well-made. Speakers are great for a laptop. Sound is clear and full. Bloatware was a cinch to remove. It was extremely obvious what the necessary programs(like touchpad drivers) vs unnecessary ones were. It has a modern i7 and a dedicated graphics card for games. It's an extremely good value if you like to occasionally play games on the road. But I wouldn't make it my main gaming system. That said, the graphics card can handle low-intense games like LoL and WoW on high settings, and it even plays Skyrim on medium settings with no hiccups or extreme heat while still looking beautiful.

Cons: The touch pad is slightly too big. Sometimes when typing my palm will stroke it and click my mouse, moving my cursor away from my text box. But I think this is just going to train me to keep my hands raised off the laptop and will eventually be a good thing.

Overall Review: I looked as hard as I could and couldn't find a better value laptop than this. If you do plan to play games with it, I'd shell out an extra $20 and get a nice laptop cooling pad.

Pros: -Solid design and build, this thing feels pretty durable. While certainly not a rock like some other laptops I've looked at, as long as you're reasonably careful with it, it should not disappoint -17.3" LED HD screen is very bright and vibrant -Boots fast despite initial bloatware, runs Win7 Home Premium Well -Good feel to keyboard, track pad sufficient -Speakers are not bad given that it is a laptop, but hard to evaluate since its all about user's individual needs. I'd say for a laptop, decent enough though. -USB 3 and HDMI ports are very nice to have -Ready out of the box -Quiet, functional, everything "works" as it should -Great for gaming

Cons: -Actual HD space is 732 GB (682 actual usable) from an advertised 750 GB. -Video Card seems like it might only have 1 GB of VRAM from Advertised 2. Will have to look into this -Acer Bloatware doesn't get into the way too much, but still there -Battery life 3 hours, good or bad depending on your individual use

Overall Review: With laptops, or any tech device, its all about expectations. For this price, I feel this is a solid buy. This laptop can function as a work AND a gaming machine with ease. If you want a cutting edge system, spend 2 or 3 times more and get a cutting edge graphics laptop. But given the price and specs, I think this is a great balance of cost and performance.

Pros: I actually got the 7750G-9657, which is the same except for the i7 2630QM @ 2.0 Ghz. It's done everything I needed, as fast as I needed (not as fast as I'd like... but that's impossible :D)

Cons: Although it comes with the Radeon 6650, it'll never show up as such when you run benchmark programs. It DOES get used, but doesn't acknowledge itself. (The i7 graphics can't do DirectX11). I just wish Acer would have put a more powerful graphics card in it. The 6650 is nothing to brag about. You'll probably get over 40fps on anything you play, which is tolerable, but I didn't buy an i7 system to get "tolerable" results.

Overall Review: For anything other than games, this system is quite good. For a laptop, it's a good gaming system... but you'll probably want to stick with your desktop for them.

Pros: It's quite fast, I haven't had any real complaints yet. As a programmer, I absolutely love the keyboard. Very responsive. Bloatware is very easy to remove. I haven't played any high-res games yet, but it runs the original Half Life like a dream... so there's that. There *might* be a space for a second hard drive. I'll take mine apart again soon, and update this post with my findings.

Cons: None so far, but I'll update this post if it breaks down.

Overall Review: The resolution does have a 1600x900 max (just in case anyone is hoping it's larger, somehow). For some reason, whenever I plug in or unplug the power source, the laptop beeps (if the sound is on)

Pros: I agree with most all the other evaluations without any serious objections. I replaced the existing 6GB of RAM immediately and maxed out the unit with 4, 4gb units totaling 16GB. To my knowledge, this is a "killer price" for this unit that cannot be equaled or beat by any other brand presently on the market with the same qualities.

Cons: My boss (wife) was upset that I didn't get it in the color pink.

Overall Review: Short of purchasing a specialized, desk-top unit with nitrogen cooled, 97 Core CPU, and a video-card that will suck out your brain through your eye sockets when playing the latest, 20 gazillion zigabyte, 3D games, you can't get a lap-top much better than this one presently.

Pros: This laptop has enough power and storage to last me several years. The screen is large, the keyboard is quieter than others I've used and has a great feel to it. A dedicated video card handles games nicely. Skyrim detection suggested I use Ultra settings on this machine, however it would get a little choppy in parts, so I recommend high. The textures are a nice touch, and a usb3 port set it apart from other laptops in the price range

Cons: Battery life could be better.. fully charged it lasts about 3 hours and 20 minutes. Hard drive is realistically 682 gigs. No included operating system... it prompts you to burn backup discs. (4 required)

Overall Review: I got this laptop to do photo and video editing for work, as well wanting enough power to play somewhat current games. This meets all my needs and the pros outweigh any cons. As a photographer I need the monitor color to be calibrated correctly. Initially the screen is shifted to be rather blue. Easily fixable though. I was also concerned about the video card memory being advertised incorrectly, but it does detect at 2 gigs in the display settings.

Pros: I spent a few weeks looking into what kinds of hardware I needed for a laptop. This matched in every level and fulfilled my every expectation.

Cons: Mine specifically had an issue with the software on initial boot, which was quickly solved with a call to Acer. No other issues as of thus far.

Overall Review: Plan on using this for years to come, such a beautiful machine.
