Model:

Acer has always been proud of their Aspire series products. In the third quarter of 2012, Acer has launched a few Aspire series laptops, and one of them is a sophisticated laptop called Acer Aspire V3-771G-73618G1.5TMAII. With the range of capabilities of this laptop, Acer promises the experience of using a computer with the best performance and reliability. Equipped with a 17 inch full-HD display and a native resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 Pixels, it is a proper desktop replacement. The high resolution presented by this laptop means that it has great multimedia capabilities which makes it so great to be used as a gaming device as well as a multimedia device. Powered by the Intel Core i7 processor, this laptop is a device that can be counted on to perform well in multitasking, multimedia consumption and web surfing. In addition, it has intense graphics capabilities for gaming needs with the high performance ­Nvidia GeForce graphic card.

However, as a 17-inch desktop replacement, this laptop is quite bulky and heavy at 3.2 kg. Although its weight is comparable to a 15-inch laptop, it still doesn’t offer great portability. This laptop also has a short battery life but it isn’t really a surprise considering the screen size. Being a desktop replacement, it consumes more power to keep performing well. In terms of design, it is really disappointing because Acer has gone with a plain glossy finish. It shows scratches and fingerprints easily and hence it isn’t going to be easy to take care of its body. Overall, this laptop is still a great desktop replacement with gaming and multimedia capabilities. Thus, if you’re looking for a desktop replacement, this laptop is a good option.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.  

3610QM:

An Ivy Bridge-based quad-core processor clocked at 2.3 GHz with Turbo Boost support up to 3.3 GHz. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 4000 GPU running at 650-1100 MHz on a dual channel DDR3 memory controller.

17.30": This display size is a standard format for desktop replacements (DTR). The DTR laptops are heavier to carry, need more power, but texts are easy to read and high resolutions are no problem. DTR are mainly intended for stationary desk use, where weight and energy hunger don't matter. In return, you enjoy the advantages of high resolutions (more details, better legibility).» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.

3.2 kg:

A laptop with this weight is comparatively heavy and less designed for mobility than for use at the desk. Therefore, the devices tend to shine less with battery life than with a large screen and higher performance.

Acer: In 1976, the company was founded in Taiwan under the name Multitech and was renamed Acer or Acer Group in 1987. The product range includes, for example, laptops, tablets, smartphones, desktops, monitors, TVs and computer peripherals. Since 2007, the group has merged with Gateway Inc. and Packard Bell, which also market their own laptop product lines.

Acer computers are designed for a variety of purposes, including ultrabooks for mobile use, gaming laptops for gamers, affordable options for everyday tasks, and 2-in-1 convertible laptops for versatility. Acer's product portfolio also includes tablets that offer portable computing and multimedia capabilities.

80%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
