    This is the laptop I finnaly bought. What do you think?


    I think its a POS and you wasted your money and did not take to consideration what anyone here was saying. Dont ask for advice if you arent going to take any of it to mind.

    CPU: Intel i5 2500K@3.7GHz OC /CoolerMaster 212 EVO | GPU: Gigabyte GTX 560ti | HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB | MOBO: Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3P | RAM: Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz | CASE: NZXT Phantom | PSU: Corsair TX750M

    i got it for $400.. i thought it was an alright deal. I'll test it out and if it doesnt satisfy me I can easily return it and buy the acer.

    So I hav had it for a day, and heres my impressions..
    I can play Crysis on medium/high. trine on high, and Just cause 2 on the highest settings. No lag at all. its a great laptop save for the integrated graphics card and processor. But You CANT beat this deal

    yeah, i agree,My laptop was $700, and it plays games just fine at 720p. My desktop is much better of course, but Intel integrated graphics chips have come a very long way...

    Really don't understand how it can max JC2 on integrated... My GTX 275 struggles with JC2 max at 1080p. Are you playing at like 800x600 with no AA or something?

    Nope. 1280x720

    And i have no idea what antialiasing is. I hit optimal and it put everything at very high and the game runs smooth all the time.

    720p is quite a low res and you're probably not using AA, but that's still pretty good for integrated.

    Never heard of 1200x900 res before, do you mean 1600x900? 1280x720? 1280x1024? And 12x AA is not common, normally 2,4,8,16.
