    Funny, my first laptop ever was an Acer and it's what brought me to NBR a many years ago. Had a bad experience with it and vowed never to get another Acer. Here I am years later with another Acer. haha. Anyways...

    Spec:
    Acer Aspire AS5755G-6823 15.6" Black Notebook Intel Dual-core i5 2430M (2.40GHz), 4GB Memory DDR3, 500GB HDD, DVD Super Multi, NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M 1GB VRAM [HDMI,VGA]

    I just ordered this laptop this past Saturday and I was wondering if any of you have it and use it for some gaming. This past weekend, I was just looking up new laptops to play games on since my MacBook is quite limited. Came across this puppy and after doing some searching, I watched a youtuber review this same exact laptop and was able to play SC2, Skyrim, BF3 and soem other games on high settings, getting very playable FPS. I just want to use it for SWTOR (i know the game's going through some hard times with all the bugs and stuff, but I'm going to continue hoping they'll fix it within the month or so) and maybe even go back to WoW.

    Wanted to see what you ACER NBR-ers had to say. Thanks.

    I pondered on getting it when it was $550 on Newegg, there are plenty of good reviews there:
    Newegg.com - Acer Aspire AS5755G-6823 Notebook Intel Core i5 2430M(2.40GHz) 15.6" 4GB Memory DDR3 1066 500GB HDD 5400rpm DVD Super Multi NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M Switchable Graphics

    I ended up getting a 4830TG instead because I wanted a smaller form factor, but I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with it. I saw the one you got at Micro Center and liked the keyboard design.

    FWIW, I'm coming from a very similar (older-generation) laptop:
    Newegg.com - Acer Aspire AS5745G-7671 NoteBook Intel Core i3 370M(2.40GHz) 15.6" 4GB Memory 500GB HDD 5400rpm DVD Super Multi NVIDIA GeForce GT 420M
    and I think the re-design you got has an even better quality.

    Sweet! Thanks Vacaloca! I forgot to even check newegg for reviews! Found one that mentioned they were able to run SWTOR at max settings (granted he did put in 8gig of ram...might do the same).

    Thanks again!
