Walmart special on an Acer as5251-1513
Walmart is offering an Acer AS5251-1513 for $298 this Sunday...anyone
familiar with that model? Is it really a good buy? With the ATI Radeon HD 4250 graphics card, would it be good for gaming? Thanks Larry |

Thanks Larry I'm actually going to pick up one of these laptops tomorrow, and I'll therefore be able to give you firsthand experience. Otherwise, it's said to be okay for games: http://ca.answers.yahoo.com/question...4233647AAUQs1a and hehttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index? qid=20100718182540AAQ4VR3 |

I actually got hands one with one at Walmart. On the outside, seems like good looking and solid. Keyboard is solid. However, sad that it has a 64bit os but only 2 gigs of ram. However, going to 4 gigs would increase the total price to at least $200. I suppose if you use it as is, it might be a good buy. Larry |

I'm installing a fairly intensive game as I type (Aika Online), so once it finishes, we'll see how it performs. Oh, and the max memory this comp can support is 8 gb, by the way, if that's a factor. As memory prices drop further, this computer won't lose its extendability. |
