Acer Aspire V3-571G-6622 15.6-Inch Laptop (Midnight Black) Review

Customer Ratings:

I've had this computer for about 3 months and so far its been able to do everything I want it to. Runs my main game Aion between 30-40 fps on max settings (around 50-60ish on medium), has a decent battery life (4 hours) and isn't too expensive. I've also played GW2, Tera, CIV V & Anno 2070 without any problems. As the title says I have been looking for a computer for a year that is between $500-$600, has a dedicated gfx card and is 15'.

Windows gives it a base score of 4.6

Processor: 7.1

Ram: 5.9

Gfx: 4.6

Gaming gfx: 6.5

HD: 5.9

A few gripes:

1. Fingerprint magnet

2. I usually carry my laptop in the space that's between the top of the keyboard and the edge of the screen for stability, the power button is too close to the edge of the laptop and I've accidently turned it off a few times.

3. I appreciate the minimalist design, but there's nothing to indicate when caps lock/ num lock is on.

Overall, I would recommend this comp to anyone who doesn't want to break the bank while still getting decent performance.

this computer arrived the 22nd of this month...took outta the box.......added another 4g of memory and this thing is fast. Have been a little worried as I know this version has not been out to long but i am completely satisfied. No problems once you figure windows 8 out. As a mid-range gamer I would have to give this 6 stars. At this time I have only played one game and that is WoW...runs anywhere from 60-100fps in starting zones. Have not tried dungeons or raiding with it at this time but will let you know. I run the autoselect for the video. It switches back and forth from the integrated graphics and the dedicated graphics when needed. For the price I will be buying another one in the near future. And I would also like to say Amazon customer service was excellent when I contacted them about the long wait to ship this computer. Talked with them Wednesday online and had the laptop here by 2 p.m. Friday. Thank you Randee!!!!

This laptop just blew me away. I love the sleek elegant look to it. It's not too heavy so I can take it with me on the go.

The downside is that it only comes with 4BG RAM and a 5200rpm hard drive. However with the 8GB RAM upgrade it is super snappy and fast, even with the 5200RPM hard drive. Also Windows 8 has fast boot times, even with this slow hard drive.

Windows 8 is really not bad at all once you "de-suck it" with one of the various programs available that let you bring back and customize the start menu and also lets you boot up to the desktop. I personally went with "startisback". It cost 3 bucks and gives you 2 licenses to use on 2 PCs.

Graphically this laptop is awesome! I can run Resident Evil 6 at max settings at 60fps as well as Deus Ex human revolution on high at 60fps. For the price you pay, it's a steal!

The battery life is decent when you set it to power saver, about 3 hours, when you're using wifi, longer without it. But if you want longer battery life get a 12-cell battery. But for me it's not an issue since I'm usually connected to the wall.

All in all, if you're looking for power, performance and decent gaming at a cheap price. This is it! you can't go wrong at this price. :)

Honest reviews on Acer Aspire V3-571G-6622 15.6-Inch Laptop (Midnight Black)

This is by far the best laptop for the dollar that I could find. Very sleek looking machine. It is also very thin. Not Ultrabook thin but thin for a laptop with an I5 and a dedicated GPU. The Laptop seems to be well built, pretty sturdy. No Flex. I also added another 4 gigs of memory to the Laptop. Overall the machine is pretty fast. I was surprised how well it ran Sim City and Mass Effect 3. The only thing that I don't really care for is the track pad. It works but it seems a little sensitive to clicks. I also don't like the fact that its not in the center. But that's just me. Highly recommend this machine to anyone looking for something with a little kick but dont want to spend an arm and a leg on a good performing machine.

To get the maximum out of this laptop you will need some expertise. Apart from a slow disk, this is a two-GPU machine which uses NVIDIA Optimus technology to switch between uses. You have relatively low control over what get used where, and often things cause errors. Updating drivers can also be painful. If you'd like to go with it anyway, here are some things to note:

1. Do not set Chrome to use NVIDIA GPU but use chrome:flags to enable using the GPU. Otherwise it will either be too slow or work with errors.

2. The disk is slow; consider upgrading to SSD.

3. The screen resolution is low and you will notice that. I don't care much for it, but I know many people who do.

4. Battery life is good / satisfactory.

This is my main computer and I will be happy to answer any specific questions on this thread.
