    Have looked at the acer timelines, looks good but a bit out of my price range! Is this Lenovo g550 a good buy - it's a bit heavy but has 5 hr battery life - it's £357.

    £50 cashback? Either way, not sure I trust them. It was just for illustration. :) Price comparison?

    Yes, I mean all Acer's. Up to you whether you want to take the gamble. They are cheap for a reason (same as Dell machines). Doesn't take a genius to work out why.
