I can't do this anymore, I can't figure it out. My Acer Aspire V5-552G-X852 came with Windows 8, which I downgraded to Windows 7. However, now I need the drivers but the official Acer page - http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers (search for V5-552G) - only has Windows 8(.1) drivers, no...

Hi. I just ordered Acer Aspire V5-552G-X852 that comes with Windows 8. I've never tried them, so of course I'll give it a shot, but based on what I've read about the OS, and knowing myself, I would most likely want to get rid of it - I hate the modern "app-focused" and Apple inspired designs on...

Sure, if it looks like a safe and valuable option.

Hi, I don't expect the laptop to run any new games, or run older games on ultra. I just need something to occasionally play something like Black Ops 2, BF3 or similar on minimum-medium settings, as long as it's playable. Anybody has any suggestions for around $600? Thanks!

Got it. Thanks a lot.

Hi, I have an old Sony Vaio PCG-3H1M with Radeon 4650 graphics card. Can I upgrade the graphics card without changing the motherboard, or do all Vaio's come with integrated GPU? Also, I need just a VERY slight upgrade to play Black Ops (first one), at the moment it's playable but not perfect...

Thanks! WEI didn't change after this procedure. Should I be concerned?

I see then. How about the fact that ATI Mobility Radeon 4650 2GB is shown as way more powerful than GeForce GT 650M 1GB - is that normal?

Hey, My first laptop has GT 650M 1GB in it with Intel HD Graphics 4000 chip, and the other one has got ATI Mobility Radeon 4650 2GB. I was wondering, is it normal that Radeon has a better Windows Index (5.9) than the GeForce (4.6)? When buying that I thought it would've been more powerful even...

By the way, the speakers just have a regular headphones jack that is coming out of a subwoofer.

Hey, I was wondering if anyone can help me out here and let me know what adapter(s) do I need to get so that I can hook up my PS3 with my PC 2.1 speakers? PS3 comes with composite cable. Just exact names of adapters would be great so I can look them up and buy online. Thanks guys!

Oh, and I paid £1100 for it.

Hey! Not sure if I'm posting in the right section... anybody has any ideas how much can I ask for this laptop and where/what is the best way to try and sell it? I bought it this August from PC Specialist co uk Shop, but I'm now buying a powerful PC and I got a second laptop too, so I don't...

When the fan is cold, the sound is like it is hitting a little piece of paper when it spins.

Hi, New laptop, and I think there's something wrong with the fan. When the laptop is cold, and the fan is working in a normal state, very silent, there's an additional noise of the fan. The noise is exactly as if the fan is working, you can hear 100% it's the fan. Is that normal? Should I do...
