I bought my laptop when it was on sale, an Acer Aspire 5750G for 495€, when the actual price was 700+
Features include 15.6 inch screen, Intel Core i5 (dual core, 2.4GHz, boost up to 3.0), Nvidia Geforce GT 540M with up to 4Gb memory, 6GB DDR3 memory, 500GB HDD, Bluray-DVD player, which I enjoyed immensely with Das Boot Directors cut.
