    Is there a way to tell what the spec is on this? There seems to be variation on the net from an i3 to i5, and from dedicated Nvidia GeForce GT 520M graphics to ATI Mobility Radeon HD 540v with 512 MB dedicated video memory. There's no details on the site and I've emailed them. If it's i3 and HD540v, that'll be pretty good for the price for basic gaming won't it? It's grade A1 meaning unboxed but never used.

    GRADE A1 - Acer Aspire 5742G Windows 7 Laptop a1/LX.R5202.007 - Laptops Direct

    Also, someone told me acer have poor reliability. Is that true?

    edit: Seems to be the same one as here, product code top right is the same.

    I really think I'll buy this if it's still available.
