Acer Aspire V3-551G-X419 15.6-Inch Laptop (Midnight Black)

Acer Aspire V3-551G-X419 15.6-Inch Laptop
  • AMD A-Series Quad-Core A10-4600M 2.3 GHz (4 MB Cache)
  • 6 GB DDR3 RAM
  • 750 GB 5400 rpm Hard Drive
  • 15.6-Inch Screen, AMD Radeon? HD 7660G + 7670M Dual Graphics
  • Windows 8, 5-hour battery life

Pros:

Powerful machine that can run most modern games on medium to high settings.

Runs a majority of programs effortlessly.

AMD Dual Graphics settings allow you to set how much power you want running to certain programs [Adobe, video games, converters, you name it] or which programs you want to run in power saving settings. A great way to avoid future hassles with programs you use all the time.

Video quality is superb in combination with the monitor and the dual graphics card.

Sound quality is beautiful, the speakers are flawless.

Cons:

After arriving late, opened up the package and began uninstalling Windows 8.

[you must totally format the hard drive and leave it unallocated in order to install Windows 7]

Took a few hours to get all the drivers back on it, and after some searching, managed to get the graphics card fully functioning.

[Install AMD Catalyst 12.8, restart, 12.9 embedded, restart, and AMD CAP 3, restart, followed by 13.1 to avoid BSOD]

Should you choose to keep Windows 8, that would cut out some work. But that's up to you.

Runs hot, look into a good cooling pad.
