Acer Aspire 5738DZG 3D Laptop

Grampus8

Bought this laptop for the missus a year ago, genuinely didn't know it was 3D (display model) £250.

I've had a play and apart from the 3D gimmick, it seems a pretty good spec.

The graphics card is a ATI Radeon HD4570 512mb dedicated card.

Any good for games and general stuff?

You should be able to play some games OK on low details and older games on medium details, pretty smoothly. At least its a dedicated GPU and not an integrated one. It's certanly good value all round lappy for £250!
I'll refer you to this info about that gfx card:
http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-ATI-Mobility-Radeon-HD-4570.13885.0.html
"The gaming performance of the ATI Mobility Radeon HD4570 should be very similar to the desktop HD 4550 which features similar specifications. Modern and demanding games of 2009 like COD MW 2 or Risen only run in low details and resolutions fluently. Some may not even run fluently at all (e.g. Crysis and NFS Shift depending on the CPU). Older or less demanding games like Left 4 Dead should even run in high detail settings. More information can be found in the gaming benchmark section below."

I have a Toshiba laptop with an i3 processor and a ATI HD5650 1GB GFX card. I can play modern games at medium detail, native res 1366x768, (even Crysis 2 ) .

If anyone else is interested in getting a "value gaming" laptop featuring a ATI 5650 and i3 processor the new Dell 15R is £488 from Ebuyer and I reckon it's an absolute bargain! It's bang upto date and even has USB 3.0. I bought my Tosh about 11 months ago, which has similar performance and it cost just under £600.
