I'm looking to get a new gaming laptop. (Yes, it has to be a laptop because of space purposes, so no I don't want to hear about how I need to build a desktop gaming PC - when I have a larger place with a legit office area, I'll do it.)
I have about $1200 to spend on this endeavor, and for a while I had been looking at the Acer Aspire V Nitro series. One in particular was tempting because of its harddrive space and the SSD - those features are useful to processing my photography as well as feeding my habits - but the reviews are iffy on other Nitros.
So I guess what I'm asking is: does anyone have one of the Acer Aspires or experience with one to let me know if the pros and cons are real? For the following issues, some people have issues and some don't:
-Keyboard
-Trackpad (less worried about this - I use a mouse for just about everything)
-Wi-fi performance (this is hard line for me - if I can't download properly, I won't buy)
-screen issues
This is the one I'm thinking of: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6834314703
The reviews are pretty much all positive for that particular model, but after all the crap in the reviews of similar Aspire models...I'm nervous.
My second question: are there others with objectively better specs for that price point (or lower) that anyone knows of/has experience with?
