Source: Laptop Mag
For $499, the Acer Aspire V3-551-8458 offers Windows 8 notebook shoppers who are on a budget a vivid display and surprisingly strong graphics performance, plus a comfortable keyboard. The touchpad buttons are on the mushy side, and the speakers don't wow, but overall the V3 is one of the better laptops you'll find for less than $500.

AMD Radeon HD 7640G: Processor graphics card that is built into the Trinity A8 series APUs from AMD. Based on the VLIW4 architecture of the Radeon HD 6900 desktop series.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

2.6 kg: This notebook is lighter than the average of all notebooks. It is too heavy for sub-notebooks. 14 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.
