    Overheating? Not as far as I know. The 6920G and its brethren tend to throttle, but the 5738G's not in the same family.

    Generally, Acer's more recent models have great build quality, this one included.
    The specs for this model look great for the price, actually.
    How big of a gamer are you? The Radeon HD 4570 is a low-mid-range card at best, and may struggle to play more demanding games at full resolution and detail.

    Thats ok, I wont be playing too demanding games, im thinking more Black & White 2 and some older GTAs maybe.
    I think this laptop would suit me well, unless there are problems which im not aware off.
