What're your thoughts about this laptop?

Hey yall, I found this really nice laptop, which is to be said one of the best values on the market, and I just want to know your thought on this one. Thanks!

(It's the $779 one, aka the cheapest one)

Semms to have a decent GPU (750M, i take it it's the equivalent of GT 750) and an overkill CPU for a laptop, seems to be decent for med-settings gaming, especially at that low res, seems to be pretty decent for that price considering it's a laptop, needless to say that for that price a desktop would give you double performance compared to this

I believe the cheapest one listed there has the Wi-Fi card that a lot of people were having connectivity issues with. Furthermore, it's only 1366x768. You'd get a lot more bang for your buck with the Acer Aspire V7-482PG with:

Intel i5-4200U
8GB RAM
500GB HDD + 24GB SSD Cache
Beautiful 14" 1920x1080 IPS touch display
Nvidia GT 750M graphics
Weighs 4.4lbs
Up to 8 hours battery life

It's slightly more expensive, but actually gets good battery life, weighs a lot less, has a significantly better display, has a better Wi-Fi card, and has the same graphics card in it (the GT 755M is just an overclocked 750M).

But will it play games relatively fast with that resolution?

Edit: Comparing Lenovo to the Acer I mean. Don't you think the Lenovo will run games faster?

Yes it will play games at 1920x1080. If you want to play some games with significantly higher requirements, you always have the option of turning the resolution down on the Acer. On the Lenovo, you're stuck at 1366x768.

Thanks for the feedback, but I think ill go with the next cheapest model, 4th Generation Intel Core i7-4700MQ Processor (2.40GHz 1600MHz 6MB)
