How does this machine compare to this one please?

I may be able to get this for less than £450 via a friend.

The Acer model on sales at Staples has integrated graphics. Not that good for gaming. The 945GM should perform to the level of a Geforce2MX. For the rest, the Core Duo Processor should outperform the one in the original OP, easily. I believe the rest is thoroughly similar since they use the same chassis

Thanks. Do you know if the graphics card can be upgraded later on the Staples one?

No it cant, I dont think you can upgrade the graphics card on any laptop as far as I`m aware

I recently bought an acer aspire 5672 which in my opinion is great specs as follows:

Intel Centrino Duo 1.67ghz
120GB hard drive
2GB of RAM
512MB ATI1400 mobile graphics card
wireless network
bluetooth
5 in 1 card reader
DVD writer
etc etc......

£800 delivered from Comet. Which is a little pricier than original suggestion of £523 but just a suggestion if you wanted the extras. There's not much that comes close spec wise for the same money.

Delivery times are a little slow unless you want to pay extra!

This laptop runs a little warm (physically under the laptop) but nothing that bothers me and there are plenty of gadgets to help prevent this.

forgot to add it's comet.com, instore price is £999
