Laptop suggestions?

[ebduncan]

Hello all

I am not a mobile expert but I do know what I'd like it to be able to do. Needs to be under 550$.

Role: content creation, gaming, school work.

Must be thin and light.

Anyways I have found this laptop.

It has the A10-5757m (2.5ghz, 3.5ghz turbo quad), 6gb (4gbx2gb)ram, 500gb 5200rpm hard drive, 15.6" led screen, hd webcam, blue tooth.

Haven't seen many reviews as its a newer laptop. Anyways, I figured this suits my needs about 99%, but I am open to suggestions. Can anyone recommend a better or comparable product I may have missed?

I'd consider smaller and even lighter like a Asus Vivobook with i3 or i5.

 

[ebduncan]

the i3 or the i5 computers would need a discrete graphics card, not fitting into the budget.

If you like gaming, and are ok with Acer laptops, then I'd take a look at this :

Fits your budget and has a 2gb dedicated gpu is nice for gaming. As you can see in my sig, I'm a big fan of AMD laptops.

2GB is maybe a little overkill for this level of power but certainly wont hurt, the AMD chips are a little under rated IMO too.

Running a 7770M running at 950mhz core in my backup machine and it does very well.
