Attracted by its SSD, I travel alot, hit and bump everywhere, one year and I had to replace HDD, just 2 issues:
1. How does this machine (with the GT640M LE) fare in Diablo 3? I couldnt find detailed review anywhere...
2. What if the built in battery go bust? I am a very heavy user.

Thanks.

1. The GT640M should be able to handle Diablo 3 smoothly, no problems there thumbup.gif
2. If the built in battery dies, then you're going to have to replace with a new one... batteries are rather susceptible to heat, which is going to be a problem here for the Acer M5 hmm.gif

Thanks for reply.
1. Just to confirm, GT640M LE is a notch lower than GT640M, so both should run smoothly? On medium setting I guess?
2. Ah, still ok if can replace. From experience I have to replace battery about one year too..when the warranty.just expired sad.gif
Is it possible to check how much it will cost me for replacement? RM250-300?

Based on the gaming benchmarks here: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Computer-Game...ds.13849.0.html
Both GPU would be able to handle Diablo 3 at maxed settings (presumably at 1366x768)

Batteries are usually around RM200-300? Its hard to say, you might wanna check with Acer for better feedbacks nod.gif

Well, Fifa 12 is not exactly very demanding hmm.gif
Can consider all these:
14"
Acer V3-471G-53212G50k/g/s, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT630M@RM1999, 2GB, 500GB black,gold,silver, Olympic

Dell Inspiron 14R (Special Edition), i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M(28nm Kepler)@RM2199[2.38kg], 4GB, 500GB(7200rpm); backlit keyboard optional
Dell Inspiron 14R, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT630M@RM1999[2.38kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm)

HP Pavilion G4-2026TX/2027TX, i3-2350M + AMD HD7670M@RM1999, 4GB, 640GB(5400rpm), W7HP; colors: black/red

Lenovo Z470, i5-2450M + Nvidia GT630M@RM2299, 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm)

Toshiba Satellite L745-1204XB/XR/XW, i5-2450M + Nvidia GT525M@RM2099, color: brown/red/white, 2nd & 3rd year local limited warranty

Try to go for the 14R SE if budget permits since it has the best performance for the price~

Wow, what a nice site! It surprising that LE version has better FPS at Ultra setting.
Further read up caught myself another question, there's Fermi version and Kepler version of the GT640M LE, even the Acer site itself doesnt state it has GT640M LE. Should I be concerned about it?
Thanks again, you are very helpful. rclxms.gif

Sifu, i need laptop for a degree software engineering student, i want it to be lightweight and currently i have 2 ultrabook that i have in my mind:

1) Lenovo Ideapad U310 (RM1999 version)
2) HP Envy 4 (RM1999 version)

That's basically more or less my budget, not looking for higher than RM2000. Which is better? Or any other recommendation? I want it to be portable and light so that easier to carry and have good quality as well (not easily overheat). smile.gif Thanks! smile.gif

you can ask them, last month I ask few sellers there... they said that the stock will arrive soon, + they've showed me the demo units
when I checked, it is true Y480 i7-3610QM + Nvidia GT650 ,

but they quote the price @ RM 2599 for student price that time, plus they give you original Win 7 HP
