Acer laptops have gained a well deserved reputation in today's crowded laptop computer market with a satisfaction for valur for money. Acer is know for its high end prices, making not a single point of disagrreatio in terms of quality, performance and product durability. Today, I'm gonna review Acer V3-551G gaming notebook. Priced at Rs.34,600, I bet anyone is not going to get a high-end gaming machine in this budget. Firstly, lets see the specifications...

Now, lets see the Highs n Lows...

Highs - 

• Low Cost Gaming Laptop
• Good n Responsive Keypad
• Nice Build Quality
• Charges Fast
• Good Processor
• Excellent Graphic Card ( At This Price )

Lows - 

• Bulky In Size 
• Little Heavy
• Fingerprint magnet, Because Of It's Shiny Surface!
• Screen doesn't delivers what is expected 
• During gaming, the left size of the laptop gets too hot, especially where the keyboard is.

Conclusion :
Overall a good gaming laptop. It delivers what is expected from it in this budget. If you are capable of shelling out up to Rs.40000 I would be defiantly recommending Lenovo Ideapad Z580 because it has a Ivy Bridge Processor and has a Nvidia 630M graphic card and has comparatively better battery life Acer. Acer's one of the advantage is that Graphic Cards are Crossfire enabled. Since it comes with Windows 7 Home Basic, I would recommend to upgrade it to Ultimate or Professional to make it much faster !!! Hence, Acer is a good gaming laptop at such a low price.
