nice upgrade for a notebook manufacturer trying to keep up with the big boys..
how much effect can you get from a 15" - 17" screen.?

 

[HansVonOhain]

I do not see how a weak 420m will do the 3d vision sufficiently.

The beauty of 3D is better appreciated on huge displays. Laptop screens aren't big enough to feel the dept.
3D should be kept as a feature for big screens...TV's and huge desktop monitors.

With 96 shaders, I think it will handle the 1366x768 resolution just fine for 3D. It's not like we're powering a 1920x1080 monitor here.

Optimus is nice but 3D isn't my interest.

most games today will need a fairly powerful video card, that said 96 shaders is not enough, maybe 480

3D is not the point. It's the 120Hz refresh rate smoothness that I'm interested in. Huge difference in games.

Time to roll out!

I'm just amazed how little notebooks cost now-a-days compared to only a few years ago. I bought a decent gateway laptop, 1920 x 1080 display, with a 9800m GTS with everything else pretty standard besides the HDMI port for $1200 and it was considered a steal. I know it says "starting price" but you can add your own hardware later, as needed, as I would never pay $250 dollars more for ram or a bigger hard drive. Save that for idiotic Mac lovers.

in a couple of months, the news will be Massive recalls on these same models

acer laptop are cap like Dell, sony, gateway, HP

I can't believe most of them last 1 1/2 and then need to change motherboards and/or hard drive (lost data).

The more they pack in, the more it breaks easily. Laptop manufacture need to revolutionise the market for at least that laptops are a bit more reliable.

Government and organism need to make manufacturers more responsible of the quality of the product they sell.
