Considering the Acer E1-572G

[Chesnoiu Daniel]

Hello, guys ! As I'm starting college in about 2 weeks, I find myself in need of a laptop and I kind of want it to run w/e I'll think of throwing at it.

Just scroll down a bit till you hit the specs.

The price for it is 1949 RON, which = 573-ish.

What do you guys say?

A friend of mine is a huge BF4 fan and has been bugging me about it for a while. I'm not going to play it(I'm more of a MMORPG type of person) but, because of him, I've started using BF4 as a quality bar in PC specs. Would this lappy play it in low? maybe medium? If yes, with what FPS? What's a "decent" FPS for a shooter/BF4?

As a last question, what's the deal with "don't get an intel cpu and AMD gpu"?

Thank you for your time.

AMD Radeon R7 M265 Will be able to play BF 4 at low settings (high details OFF) at 1366 x 768 res.
But the Processor might be a downside for your laptop.It is a ULV Undervolt processor.Which is a 'weak' for BF4.
You will surely loose some fps because of it.Try to get a laptop which is ending with a M in the end.
Anything above 30 Fps will be playable for BF 4.

So on this laptop, with everything on low, BF4 will run with under 30 FPS?

 

[aakarshan]

It will be able to run it under around 35+ fps.It should be playable.

Alright, thank you ! What can you tell me about the price, is 573 a decent price for such a laptop? Also, if possible, I'd like to know ~how much is its life expectancy? Never owned a laptop before so I've no clew about stuff like this. And what about mobility, how long should i expect to be able to use it like, in classes and whatnot?

Yeah, 573 is a nice price for this laptop.
Keep it safe from heat.Keep it secure from high temps (>50C).Well it uses 22nm manufacturing process,then it uses less voltages.
Regulary check the laptop for Dust and Apply Thermal paste.Buy a good cooler with the laptop.
Always game with a cooling pad.
