Well.
If a laptop can play games, it sure as hell can do everything else.
However that laptop has a Geforce GT 730M which is equivalent to a Desktop Geforce GT 630, aka. - Horribly slow and a re-branded Geforce GT 440.

I suggest this: http://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-59345759-Z585-15-6-Inch-Laptop/dp/B009AEPS4K/ref=sr_1_6?m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1368017372&sr=1-6

Much better build quality than the Acer, faster GPU, slightly slower CPU (2.3ghz base clock, turbos to a max of 3.2ghz on 1 core.), longer battery life.
And still got a horrible 1366x768 screen which is less than what I had 15 years ago on my Desktop, but in that price range you probably can't do much better screen-wise.

Also, Photoshop/Indesign can leverage the GPU for some tasks too, making the CPU that little bit less important.

Buy an SSD, drop in some faster Ram (APU's love fast Ram, AMD Trinity supports 1866mhz modules, oems usually throw in 1333mhz modules.) and enjoy.

Oh and it's a little cheaper which is also a plus in my opinion. :)

Are you for real?

GT730M is in a way "rebranded" GT640M (with a bit higher clocks than the latter) and since both cards are based on NEW Keplar architecture, they have absolutely nothing in common with GT440.

I would definitely go with Acer out of the two. Much better CPU, and much better VGA than what's integrated into the APU.

Don't worry about the resolution since you'll get better fps on lower one :P
