    looks decent for games, and 2 year warranty is a plus.

    can this play starcraft 2 ?

    • Chris McMahon on 02/02/2011 - 23:11

      If you turn the graphics settings down enough, yes.

      Don't get your hopes up, the graphics card is equivalent to a ~$40 PC graphics card.

    im noob at laptops, but cant you get a decent i5 lappy for that price..?

    • StewBalls on 03/02/2011 - 00:05

      It'll certainly put you in the i3 ballpark, and not a lot more (under $100) gets you well and truly into i5 territory nowadays! ;)

  • Kranbone on 03/02/2011 - 01:17

    It seems very well priced so a definite bargain. I think it can get 6500 score in 3DMark06 which isn't bad for a notebook, especially at this price.

    doesn't seem like that great specs wise, i would be spending a little more and getting an i5 (perhaps the non sandy bridge models which are on clearance at the moment for not much more)

    • ESEMCE on 03/02/2011 - 08:44

      Agreed.. There are i5's with dedicated graphics for not much more at the moment.
      In fact there was an Acer posted just yesterday I reckon for the same price after cashback. Correction, no dedicated graphics on that one, but it's the only thing "missing".

      • leiiv on 03/02/2011 - 10:17

        It is actually not "only". The dedicated graphics can make huge difference on price.

        • skeuu on 03/02/2011 - 10:58

          Read again, the acer has a intel HD graphics card, passmark 326 vs 377 for this one. The graphic cards seem in the same ball park to me.

  • nongming on 03/02/2011 - 10:27

    that's why i thought this was a decent deal for under $500

    because most of the other laptops I see at this price range; the graphics cards are usually always inbuilt

    and graphics cards is the one thing you can't replace in laptops…

  • ozdavo on 03/02/2011 - 11:03

    Cheap, but i would not recommend anyone buying less than i3 atm, this is old gen tech.

    • Jacku on 03/02/2011 - 11:26

      Totally agreed. You should really spend the additional $100 to get an i3.

  • Peleus on 03/02/2011 - 15:11

    Overall I'd say it's a decent laptop at a decent price, but that RRP would be a rip off. Realistically this laptop should RRP for around $699 - $799?

    Not a negative, not a positive.

    IMO go for an i3 or i5 these days.
