thanks a bunch...gonna check that one out...my sis has the 8gb ram one and it's a couple hundred more than this one...i really need one that's going to allow me to upgrade in the near future also...is this one able to do so?...
1. I'm no computer nerd but all I can tell you is that this asus i3 is a second generation i3. Regarding upgrade, I do not think this one max out at 6gb. It is your job as a potential buyer to figure it out yourself.
Regarding computer and upgrades and whatnot, I see it like buying a car. You can buy a cheap honda and load it up with upgrades for way more money but a stock mustang can still smoke it or at least hang with it at the stock level.
All depending on what kind of screen you want and how you work your laptop. 14 incher? 15 or 17?
If you have the extra money, you can go with this one here. It is an I5 processor and I think it is a gamer lappie so I am not too sure either.
Acer Aspire TimelineX AS4830TG i5-2450M Geforce GT 540M 9 Hours Battery 14" Laptop for $629.99 on amazon which means non tax if bought from amazon supplier and free shipping. So it is like selling price at $580 plus tax and free ship. With an i5 processor, expect lappie in the 500 range. If you wait awhile, there might be an i5 for you at the $450 or even at the $400 level.
use code acer2012 to knock that pricing down.
