Solved! Budget Gaming Laptop - Acer Aspire 7741G-3647?

[fuzzybunny416]

Hello,

I have been looking to spend around $800 for a laptop I could use to play games. I ran across the Acer Aspire 7741G-3647, which looks perfect to me, but I have been unable to find any reviews or other information. Do you think it would work okay?

Basic Specs:
i5 450M / 2.4 GHz
4GB DDR3
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650

Thanks in advance.

It depends on what kind of games you want to play and at what settings. What are your preferences? I would expect it to do alright on medium settings, but anything above that would be pushing it (depending on the game).

Thanks for the reply buwish! I'm hoping to be able to play games like SC2, L4D2, and MW2. I don't expect to be playing on the highest settings. I was mostly just worried since I couldn't find any reviews on the laptop. I'd really hate to buy it and find out later that for whatever reason this just isn't a laptop I can game with.

Your system will achieve 35+ FPS on nearly all new games, and possibly high on some older games.

I can't offer any particular review on the product itself, but from a completely specs vs cost related perspective, it looks great.
