I was in search for my desktop computer upgrade, but I changed my decision about desktop upgrade after I found interesting laptop Acer Aspire V3-571G. On paper that laptop fits all my reqirments for usage that I need:
- i7 quad core processor (6MB cache, 4 cores)
- Nvidia GeForce GT 640M 2GB (with CUDA support - very important feature for Adobe programs)
- ddr3 @ 1,600MHz
Problem is that I found some discussions about Acer as very risky brand in laptop world. I want to know what are your thoughts about this laptop and is there any alternative that is similarly priced as this Acer that I found.
