Performance-wise, the Acer TimelineX 3830Tg would be the best (by a huge margin summore)...But there are heat and throttling issues associated with this model... summore the battery is integrated..  |

The others are similar in terms of performance because of the same AMD Zacate APU my current lappy also got heat issue and I'm sick with it already. Beside Acer TimelineX, what's your second best pick bro? Dell M102z has a slight upperhand because of the faster HDD rotation speed... other than that, its all down to personal preference  |

6630m is comparable to 540m...
525m is a few steps below. i would guess around 10 percent difference????  maybe..6630 in notebookcheck is weaker than 540m.... BUT.. it can overclock more.. haha.. so it will beat 540m... haha.. it is 2.8k... i7 quad+gt550m..... 550m is a few steps above 540m.... .... i cant comment on quality.... but i can comment on the ease of maintenance.... the laptop bottom plate.. unscrew.. u can see the fan, hdd, and ram adi.. dang easy to clean!!! unlike so many others that is a pain the @$$ to open and clean....  |
