    That laptop uses old gen hardware, that is a 1 and a half year old cpu and a 1 and a half year old gaphics card.

    Get something like the gt 640m which is twice as fast as a 540m and takes around 10w less to run and fits in ultrabookbook form factors. Acer m3 or v3 is good.

    610m may be low end but I don't have any idea why you are claiming it is a year and a half old.

    Launch Date
    Q4'11
    Processor Number
    i3-2350M

    610m: Date of Announcement 06.12.2011


    My point was though even if they were newer then 1 and a half year old its basically a rebrand or basically based on sandy bridge that came out just over a year ago and the gpu is basically a rebrand 520m which was released 5th of january 2011.


    Now theres new tech like ivy bridge 22nm cpu and gpu and 28nm discrete graphics vs your 32nm cpu and gpu and 40nm discrete graphics. Big difference. 32nm and 40nm have been readily available since the start of 2010 in january so getting that type of technology when the first new technology come out in end of april 2012 come out it seems pointless really to get old gen. The hd 4000 graphics is more powerful as well.

    Rebadged stuff is different than buying a computer that is physically a year old.

    okay, I am on about him buying old gen components, he is like buying the current ps3 slim and lets say a new ps3 slim with new gen comes out lets say today hypothetically then he will be getting a ps3 that has been out for a couple of years or so.
