Managed to submit a blank topic! Brilliant... 

Anyway, what I wanted to post is about the upcoming Acer ultrabook that packs a Geforce GT640m (Kepler) descrete graphics card. Apparently this will run BF3 at 1366x768 in 'Ultra' quality. Pretty impressive for a 2cm thick ultrabook.

Who here would want to get a gaming ultrabook?

I would, had two acers just over a year, and a half now

Used to have the same attitude gjm had, but that changed with the build quality/materials on the new Timeline series

pretty much as reliable as the next brand. In saying that, I wouldn't touch Dell anymore. Mostly due to seeing how many fail at my old work!




I have moved across the ditch.  Now residing in Melbourne as a VOIP/Video Technical Trainer/Engineer.

yeah, thats the problem if you let your brand slip. Even if you get better you still have to convince everyone that you are no longer crap
