I was burgled yesterday and had my laptop stolen, amongst other things. I've been looking around for a similar replacement to play games on.
My laptop was an Acer 5745DG with an i3 around 2.4GHz, 4GB RAM, 320GB hard drive, and an Nvidia 425m GPU. It had a 3D screen but that wasn't a selling point for me.
What is the 6490m like and how does it compare to the 425m? I could happily play most of my games on medium or slightly lower settings at 1366x768 with the 425m.
THIS is the laptop I was looking at. It works out around £540, which doesn't seem too bad given that electronics in New Zealand are very expensive.
