I'm heading back to university in a month and I need a new laptop because my old one broke. I stumbled across this Acer on newegg but I could not find any reviews on it. I've never owned an Acer and seeing as I'd be ordering online, I'd like one's opinion on it first.
Acer V5-552G-X412
AMD A-Series A10-5757M(2.50GHz)
8GB Memory 500GB HDD
AMD Radeon HD 8750M
Windows 8

I pretty much gave up the idea of solid gaming on the laptop as I plan on building a desktop anyways. Basically what I'm looking for is something durable, quick - and if it can handle even light gaming that'd be great (low settings on games like dota 2, sim city 5, civilization 5, etc would be more than enough on the laptop)
If anyone has any other recommendations close to this price range it would greatly appreciated.
Update: Due to my past experience with klaences with laptops I'm thinking of getting the Accidental Damage Handling plan through new egg, would anyone recommend it or oppose it? I also want to upgrade to a SSD, how would that factor into any of my warranties? I simply don't want to be without laptop in 2 years again and have to buy a new one.
