In my opinion, I'd love to see the V3-572PG-56CY or the E5-771G-54N6 - there isn't nearly enough info out there about the low end Nvidia GPUs and their real world uses, while there is far too much coverage on the big "gaming focused" laptops and their beefy dedicated GPUs.

Could you review this one ? 

http://ASIN.cc/wBgTpf

Its the Acer Aspire V7-482PG-5842 ... for $799 in the US 

 

Core i5 4200 ... (4th Gen ? )

14" Full HD screen + touch

8 gb ram, 500 gb hdd + (reportedly) 24 gb ssd for boot

nvidia gt750m

 

seems a nice one for the price ... there might be a newer version of this model ... but this seems to be selling a lot.

V 15 Series V3-572PG-56CY seems interesting, seems like a good deal for college freshmen who also gaming on the go. Which I always go, game at college with friends instead of focusing on assignment. :P

E 17 Series

 

In my opinion you should review it, because it has a high resolution, a dedicated graphics card and the most important has a decent price. Also I don’t like very small laptops, because of the screen and keyboard size and overheating problems. I also would love to see how much more power a GTX840M gives you compared to Intel’s HD graphics.

V15 or one of the S7 ultra books. The v15 is the best well rounded one IMO so it would be one of those reviews similar to the 230T-budget but great.

The S7 is useful because I shall be going to university in a years time I hope, so reviewing something that I may potentially get over a MacBook if it's good enough would be nice.

S7 maybe?

I am looking for a laptop that does not exist.

15 inch, very high def, touch, i7, SSD and minimum 8GB RAM.

I insist on being able to upgrade the SSD and RAM.

I do not care about being thin and light.

Top Intel graphics is OK but dedicated card a +.

We can now stream games with Steam and it works fine.

eSata SSD would be nice. Speed speed speed ;-)

 

It has to be priced reasonably.

Under 2,000$ would be nice.

 

At least 3-4 USB ports, decent video out ports, memory cards reader a+.

Doeos not need a DVD but will accept one if present :-)

Battery life is not that important but a removable one would be nice.

 

I want to keep that a longggg time.

Any idea someone?

i'd love to see the V11 Fanless baytrail one and the Core i7 S7,  i know they're both ends of the spectrum, but i dont feel the V(and E)11 are getting the attention they deserve
