  • Summary: Was exactly what I wanted: an inexpensive, complete (keyboard, monitor, webcam, Windows 7, etc) solution for my daughter for X-mas, capable of running games, doing Skype,
  • Pros: Having a real video card in a laptop sold me on it. No problems running games or anything else on it so far. Getting great frame rates.
  • Cons: The single speaker is pathetic, but I knew that going into it. A pair of external speakers or headphones is a must.

Good laptop

16 January 2012
  • Summary: Great computer for low-mid end gaming. Haven't tried it on any newer graphics demanding games though.
  • Pros: Price is definitely good for what you get. I bought it specifically for SWTOR. Can run the game well on low settings. (Can probably go higher just haven't tried.) Maxe...
  • Cons: Overheated on me one time. Optimus doesn't always work how you want it too. The harddrive is kind of small but it is more than enough space for me.
