Any reviews of the Acer Aspire AS5560G-SB485 besides Newegg's & About.com?

Just bought this (2, actually: 1 for me, 1 for my daughter) from Newegg based on the specs (AMD A8, 4GB RAM, 500GB HD -- plus 1GB dedicated graphics RAM, which I hadn't seen on any other AMD A-series-based laptops). Only reviews I've seen are at the 2 sites mentioned in the title, though. Would like to find more (at least to reassure myself that I haven't just spent $500 x 2 on pieces of junk). Anyone else have an opinion on this particular laptop -- or does this mean I'm called to write/record my own reviews (perhaps on Newegg.com & YouTube) for the guidance of future would-be buyers?

To me it looks like you got yourself a very sweet deal. I looked up the PC's processor: http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_lookup.php?cpu=AMD+A8-3500M+APU+with+Radeon+HD+Graphics it ranks fairly high on the list of processors ("high end"). Can't complain about the 500gb HD or the RAM. Likewise, the 1gb of dedicated video, if that's correct, would make your laptop perfect for video/gaming.

However, I wasn't able to find any more reviews on the product that what you mentioned. Hope that helps.

I found a few hits on YouTube for the "Acer Aspire 5560G" series of laptops, although nothing for this particular model. 2 people had posted gameplay video recorded on a similar model in the series (with just an A6, but the RAM maxed out to 8GB -- something I plan to do within the next few months myself). The hard drive size is a little small by desktop standards today; however, since this laptop won't be shared with other family members, it should still be plenty roomy enough for the stuff I want. (Heck, the desktop I use at work has only half the HD space of this laptop -- so I really can't complain!)

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
