Is the Acer Aspire AS7750-6423 a good laptop?

Jacob

I'm looking to buy a new laptop soon, and found this one in the black Friday ad at Walmart. Is this laptop good for playing games such as Minecraft? I have done research on the Intel HD 3000 graphics chip, but will the ram and processor make up for that?
EDIT: My budget is around $500.

Answer
Dont trust reviews from people who have heard about acer laptop
The same laptop is on sale at walmart now. One version lower is on sale at newegg.com (for the same price $498).

Im a acer laptop user (14") acer aspire 4925G. Bought this in singapore 3 years back.
Touchwood.. Not even once i had issue with the system. The warranty seal is still on and not tampered even once.

Im in the same case as you are. I wanted to upgrade to i5 (with turbo boost tech) + 17.3" screen.
Check the source link for the item on sale (lowest in the market now. You can even check the price on acer USA website)

I just ordered 2 laptops of AS7750-6423 (since the graphic cards on 480M is also an entry level)
I prefer walmart than newegg for security / safety reasons.
One for myself and the other for my In law in Sydney.

Only diff with the graphic card is ATI Radeon is switchable and intel is not.
Switchable is when u can switch to low graphic resolution and shutdown the graphic controller to save power. You cannot do this on the Inter HD GPU.

With Tax + free shipping (delivery between Nov 27 to Dec 2) = i paid total about around 548 bucks.

Dead cheap as of now in the market.. These are the only 2 17.3" i5 laptop for <$600 in the market.

For all comparison and detailed review check the source links

Have fun.. Happy buy and happy thanksgiving

What is the best gaming laptop and where in Singapore can i buy it?

denver

Answer
You're looking for an affordable, not so big, yet best in performance gaming laptop?
LOOK NO FURTHER.
Like me, get the MSI GT680R 15.6"-full HD GAMING NOTEBOOK which comes with the 2nd Generation Core i7 Processor 2630QM, 8GB DDR3 RAM, 1TB Hard Disk Drive (2 x 500GB 7200rpm SATA HDD) & a powerful Class 1, 1.5GB NVIDIA GTX460M DDR5 dedicated graphics card that can handle DirectX 11 enhancing the 3D detail effects from FRYS.com (SKU#: 6547393).
I was free for the day so I hung around the store and got to use the laptop first hand.
I came back to check out the laptop every hour for 6 hrs and found out that the air from the vent of the laptop remained cool compared to any other laptops on display there, meaning this laptop has proper heat management, that means this laptop can handle long hours of gruelling play. Now, I'm all stewed up saving to buy this b4 Blizzard releases Diablo 3.
The MSI GT680R 15.6" Gaming Notebook w/ the Intel® Core⢠i-7 retails for $1,499.99 (+ tax & other sur-charges). I chose to pay more to have the newest technology so that I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT GETTING OUTDATED WITHIN THE NEXT 11 YRS.
click here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152239
Are you a game enthusiasts playing for long hours? Get a COOLER MASTER U2 Notebook Cooler w/c has dual purposes. Cool thing about it is that you can position the fans on the right spot for better ventialation. When travelling, detach the easily detacheable dual fan, & you can use the aluminum frame as a protection for your laptop's LCD screen when inside the bag. I got mine from MicroCenter.com for 48% cheaper than the regular $24.99 tag (FRYS.com SKU#: 6344931).
click here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834997730

If you're a lil' bit low on budget, get the next best thing. The msi GE620-021 15.6" Gaming Notebook also features a 2nd Generation Intel Core i7 Processor 2630QM & 8GB DDR3 RAM, just 640GB HDD, but only a Class 2, 1GB NVIDIA GT540M dedicated graphics card that can also handle DirectX 11 effects from FRYS.com (SKU#: 6539123).
The ASUS N53SV-XR1 for $949.99 sounds 150dollars cheaper, but comes with only 4GB of memory.
click here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152258

Core i-3, better than Core 2 Duo
Core i-5, better than Core i-3
Core i-7, better than Core i-5

Just remember these: The 1st thing you should look for on the computer surface is A LOGO STICKER for NVIDIA or ATI MOBILITY RADEON just below the keyboard. This SHOWS that the laptop has A DEDICATED GRAPHICS CARD (for AutoCAD & Adobe Photoshop). Diablo III, the game I would love most to play runs on 3D graphics & is rumored to need at least 1GB GRAPHICS MEMORY (lower graphics memory = CHEAPER laptop price),
so always check the system requirement specs on the game's box (ex. SIMS 3; see if your laptop meets all the requirements).
Gamers, make sure the GRAPHICS CARD on the laptop IS ONLY from the HIGH END or MIDRANGE.

Next important aspect is the RAM (memory). If you're in designing & you need to run applications like AutoCAD or softwares for editing photos & videos, just make sure that the laptop has AT LEAST 2GB DDR2 RAM modules in it (HIGHER IS BETTER; DDR3 & DDR5 are faster & newer types of memory modules that came out).
But what makes a computer really run fast? It is it's processor! So if you really want your processor to have computing prowess & you're able to run different applications simultaneously, make sure it's AS EFFICIENT AS an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor (Centrino 2 is a Core 2 Duo featuring power saving capabilities; Quad Core is for gaming fanatics). A Core 2 Duo is like having 2 motors running the computer each independent of the other w/c means for a Quad Core, it's like 4 motors are running the machine (that means it will run faster & more efficient even if its frequency is lower to that of a Core 2 Duo). Intel: Core 2 Duo, Centrino 2, Quad Core, Core i-3, Core i-5 & Core i-7 are all very much faster & better than an Intel: DUAL CORE, PENTIUM, CELERON, ATOM & their more affordable AMD counterparts. Just make sure you have AT LEAST 2GHz of speed on your processor.
The HDD (Hard Disc Drive) should be at least 320GB.
The average laptop LCD screen size is 15.4". If you want something smaller than that w/ these facts I just shed some light on, expect the price to go higher (ex. for 13.3" & 14.1" LCD screens).

FYI: I always tell my customers, a laptop's battery is similar to a cell phone's. You charge it when it's depleted & you unplug the adapter when it is already fully charge (this will prevent the battery from getting overcharged & extend the life of the battery). So for less hassle, I always advice my customers to just remove the battery if they plan to use the computer for long hours straight (more than 1 hour) and just run it on AC power alone so as not to overcharge it & shorten the battery life.

Will adapters for using USA electronics in foreign countries still hurt your electronics?

best gaming laptops singapore image

Sketch7

I know the electric outlets in other countries are different from ours and can harm our electronics / laptops / game systems. Someone told me to get an adapter, but my friend's computer still got fried with an adapter. Are adapter's safe? Is there a way to charge your computer / electronics with something portable so you don't have to plug your stuff into a wall?

Answer
Yes, it might because the power voltage could be different than our own. When I visited Singapore I brought hair clippers and used the adapter they provided, and it shorted out. So just be careful and check to make sure whatever you are plugging in is compatible. I wouldn't think a laptop or game system would be harmed, but smaller electronics are more vulnerable.

going to singapore, airplane ride and charging my electronics?

Q. the trip from where I am at to singapore is 25hrs. I have a psp and a IPOD. I doubt either will last that long.

Do the planes have charging ports or places to charge the equipment? I am flying Singapore Air.

Or do you have any recommendations on how I can manage the battery life?

Answer
charging the ipod can be done if u have laptop. the laptop can be plug into a inseat power supply for laptop. there is no charging points for any device due to safety reason. there are power outlets but only can be use when the plane is on ground for ground crew use only. as for psp i dont think u require it after your psp run out off battery. every aircraft SIA owns has a entertainment system in every seat. u can watch movie on demand. anytime u want to watch a movie u can watch it from the begining. there are also computer games u can play with this entertaiment system. u can also listen to music if u want. there is also a booklet in every seat to guide u on how to use this service. best of all no extra charge. if still unsure the cabin crew are more than happy to help u out.

What can I do during my flight to Hong Kong?

best gaming laptops singapore image

I am going to travel to Hong Kong on July 1. This will be my first international flight, and I'm kind of nervous about getting bored during the 14 hour flight. What are some things I can bring along (or do) to keep me from being bored? I want to bring my laptop, but I'm not sure if I can charge it on the plane. Any ideas?
I am flying with Cathay Pacific Airlines.

Answer
You don't mention the airline you're flying on, but on airlines such as Cathay Pacific and Singapore Airlines and many others, you will have your own personal entertainment center, with as many as 10-12 movies, dozens of tv shows, over 20 audio channels, and games as well, enough to keep you occupied for the entire flight. Almost all airlines have power ports in business and 1st class, not too many in economy, you'll have to check with your airline. But nothing passes the time away better than sleep, I've flown that route dozens of times and I learned to try and be as tired as possible when I boarded the flight, and was able to sleep 8-10 hrs. every time, it makes the flight go by very quickly, plus you'll feel a whole lot better when you get there. There's nothing like waking up for the meal they serve just before you land after a long sleep. Have fun.
PS. Since you are flying Cathay, if your plane has the "new" economy seats, you will have a power port.

how do i survive a 24 hours plane ride without slitting my wrists?

singapore to newyork.

Answer
Suggestions for a long flight:

Join the frequent flier program for the airline, unless you already belong to a "partner" program. Joining is free and you can do it online.

Check www.seatguru.com for seat suggestions. I usually try to get a window seat on really long flights and gather some extra pillows & blankets to make a "bed" to lean against. Call the airline and request a seat as early as allowed. Also ask if the aircraft has power ports that you can use for i-Pod, etc.

Consider buying membership, a one-day pass or multi-day pass to the airline's lounges (if offered). An example is Delta's SkyClub: http://www.delta.com/traveling_checkin/airport_information/delta_sky_club/index.jsp Priority Pass also gives access to airline lounges all over the world: http://www.prioritypass.com/

Airlines try to provide good on-board entertainment on long flights, and seat-back video is now almost standard on long flights. Airlines also try to provide decent meals on long flights. Check with the airline to find out what will be available on your flight. For example:

http://www.delta.com/traveling_checkin/inflight_services/index.jsp

Consider getting a sleep mask (ex. www.mindfold.com) and some earplugs, which may help you sleep (they work for me). Luggage stores and airport shops also sell sleep masks but they are not as good as the Mindfold type. Try to sleep â even if it isnât very good sleep.

I-Pods and portable game devices are great on planes, but the batteries won't last more than a few hours. Pack one or more books that you have started, or that are from an author you know. It's really annoying to realize - too late - the book you brought for the flight isn't a good read. Other options are crossword puzzles and similar. A laptop is practical IF the aircraft is equipped with power ports (which can also re-charge an i-Pod or game device).

Pack a complete change of clothes and basic toiletries in your carryon bag. Check the security requirements at: www.tsa.gov

Dress in comfortable clothes and shoes that are not too tight (or overly casual). Your feet will swell during a long flight and tight clothes can make it harder to sleep.

I try to shower just before leaving to go to the airport. It reduces the grungy feeling you get by the end of a long flight.

Tag all of your bags (inside and outside) with your name, e-mail address (but not your home address) and a complete phone number someone will answer. The free tags from the check-in counter are fine.

Make sure you have your passport or ID and other documents on you before leaving home.

Get to the airport 2 full hours before departure unless the airline recommends arriving earlier.

You can take something to help you sleep, but try it first. Many meds can leave you groggy long after you need to be awake. I just use aspirin.

Chewing gum can help with relieving the pressure in your ears.

Drink lots of water and juice: The air in the cabin is very dry and causes dehydration. Avoid too many drinks with caffeine (including colas) or alcohol as they can increase the dehydration.

Get up and stretch every few hours.

Try to awaken about an hour before the flight crew serves the arrival meal/snack and use the bathroom to wash up. Also maybe change clothes. You will feel a lot better.

The time change can be a problem, and a long flight will produce a lot of "jet-lag". At your destination, try very hard to eat meals at local times and stay awake until local bedtime. If you MUST take a nap, then sleep for no more than 3 hours. Falling asleep at 3:00pm may result in you waking up at Midnight - wide awake and unable to go back to sleep.

I hope you have a great trip!

Which Dell Inspiron Laptop should I choose? They seem to have different model codes for different countries.?

Touch Of P

1) I am in university, so I don't need the enhanced gaming screen. I just need the one most suitable for a university student..

2) I am planning to either buy it from Australia or Singapore, do you know which country sells it cheaper?

3) Thanks so much!

Answer
you should just buy one from your country. otherwise they might charge you extra shipping or tax. i'm not really sure... never tried.

anyways, if you are a student, then i'd recommend inspiron 1420/1520 or vostro 1400/1500. vostro is basically a copy and paste of the inspiron blueprint. it's designed for business so it's all black and somewhat tougher with metal frame and shock protected harddrive. you should get a mid end intel core 2 duo (high end chips are way more expensive) like 1.6 GHz. definitely 2 GB of RAM. vista eats a lot of RAM. but 3 GB becomes somewhat too expensive. intel GMA video card, which can perform common tasks but unable to play any games. and if you are not picky on screen res then you can get the default 1280x800 res monitor, otherwise if you are a programming who don't want to scroll so often when reading codes then you might want to consider get the higher res monitor.
