I found a acer one that might be good

@all

I found this acer one, is it any good? (well it will be able to play Mass Effect 2!)

http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/acer-aspire-5942g-04287940-pdt.html

Here are the specs

Processor Intel® Core™ i5-520M Processor
- 2.4 GHz
- 2.5 GT/s DMI
- 3 MB Smart Cache
Operating System Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium
RAM - 4 GB
Graphics card ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 5650
Screen type TFT wide screen
Screen resolution - WXGA
- 1366 x 768 pixels
Screen size 15.6"
Hard drive 640 GB SATA
Optical disk drive Combined Blu-ray/dual-layer SuperMulti DVD rewriter

A few posts up I spec'd out the 520M-i5s.  They are definitely good procs.  The combo of i5 + Ati will give you decent battery life.  In the last 4ish years or so, Acer has stepped up their game considerably.  I would never have considered them <5 years ago, but today they are much different.

 

The fact that it is cheaper than the ones I listed above, that extra money could go towards a Solid State Drive.
