Comment on Acer Aspire TimelineX AS5830TG-6614 15.6-Inch Aluminum Laptop (Cobalt Blue) by OGKNav.
Just a couple steps below a gaming laptop.,
Being an avid gamer and artist, I needed an all-around laptop that
-has a good battery life
-could run programs & games fairly well (when I wanna take a break)
-didn’t look like a George Forman grill like most laptops
-not over $900-1000.
At first I thought I was in over my head expecting such a laptop to exist.
But with the new i5 and GT 540m, this thing is a couple steps below a gaming laptop. It can run Skyrim on high (although drop shadows to med for a smooth framerate). And a few other games as well, but I won’t get into that. It’s very slim and lightweight. Realistically, the laptop can last about 6-7 hours, around 3 while gaming. I’m sure the LED screen has a great helping hand in this.
FL Studio runs well, but I have to max out the buffer to prevent any sound popping. And Flash and Photoshop runs surprisingly well.
Has a built in webcam and mic, which work very well.
If I had any complaint, it’d be the lack of color choices. I remember seeing a red one somewhere else.
Other than that, it’s the absolute perfect balance between budget, performance, and battery life.
