![]() ![]() If it weren't for the lid's and wrist rest's glossy surfaces, the term "conservative design" could apply to the device. The silver keyboard bezel perks up the otherwise completely black device. Acer has not done enough to disguise the cheap plastic that is used to build the chassis before putting it on sale.Īt least the laptop looks nice out of the box. In the last few months it almost seemed that this kind of surface paint job was finally going out of fashion. It only takes a few hours of use until fingerprints and dust particles begin to gather. The display lid, screen bezel and the wrist rest gleam at the user – at least, for a while just after taking it out of its packaging. The Piano paint finish is a throwback to the past which shows scratches and fingerprints very easily. Since the 17 inch case has enough room inside, Acer has provided two 2.5 inch drive slots which are occupied by a 120 GB SSD as the boot drive and a 1 TB data HDD for data storage in our test configuration.Īcer has gone in for a plain glossy finish to the laptop. The i7-3610QM chip is virtually the entry into Intel’s lineup of mobile quad-core CPUs. The GPU is backed by a processor from the latest Intel Ivy Bridge generation. They were members of the gaming upper range just a year ago. Its performance can be compared with the older GTX 460M or the GTX 560M. It is a chip based on Nvidia's brand new Kepler architecture (28 nm), which is positioned in the upper midrange. To be specific, the Nvidia's GeForce GT 650M GPU provides the graphic processing power for the notebook. What does the Aspire V3-771G have inside? Well, as the "G" in the model number already hints at- a good portion of graphics power. It could, at best, be compared with the multimedia notebook Aspire 7750G, equipped with AMD's potent 6850G graphics. However the V3-771G featuring a 17.3 inch screen is a new entry with no predecessor. The V3 range will be a member of Acer's premium performance range.Īcer has built a couple of 15 inch models in the Ethos range ( Aspire 5951G) and one 18 inch behemoth ( Aspire 8951G) in the past. Until now, Acer did not have any full-blown gaming machines in its range. Now seriously, Acer aims the V3 at customers focused on performance and hesitantly tries to even bring its mobile products closer to gaming enthusiasts. Well, if that is not a masterpiece of engineering then what is? On Acer's product page, phrases like "excellent multitasking", "online media consumption" and "intense graphic gaming" are used in the same breath. Acer promises timeless elegance and extraordinary computing power with its new Aspire V3 range. ![]()
