So I recently (2 days ago) purchased a Gigabyte R3 laptop.
Got it at a good price, and was excited because on paper its everything I wanted.
13.8", HD+, dedicated GPU, 8GB ram (in 1 stick too), i7 ULV, and I added an SSD to boot!
Now I realize my useless vision can't see the screen.
Its my first gift to myself in 8 years, after about $60k on eye surgery, and re-convincing myself I'm worth buying something for; and it turns out to be a thousand dollar paper weight.
Great.
Phoned my surgeon and booked some more surgery (bloody 8 grand later!), but I doubt it'll help enough to use this thing comfortably.
So, Now i'm in the market for what I thought I wasn't.
i5 or 7.
768p screen (IPS if possible)
Dedicated GPU (or M series CPU for HD4600)
15.6"
Goals: office and internet tasks, with DOTA2 @ medium settings, native resolution.
Anyone know anything? Anything at all?
If not IPS; I dont care about black reproduction just image stability at angles.
fml.
Closest I can find, is
Aspire V5-573G-54204G50AII

Just don't know… is the 720M will be enough grunt, even at 768p.
Also dont know the screen quality.
Acer seem to have amazing screens though. Its what we use exclusively at work (not that model though)
