Adequate scope of interfaces; Generous keyboard; Fan partly inactive in idle; Very good battery life; Low power consumption operation; Very good gaming performance in 13.3 inches

CPU throttling down to 1.2 GHz; Port positioning; High-gloss screen; Poor display rates; Permanently built-in 6 cell battery

The CPU throttling isn't eliminated, but has rather been reissued. Thus, customers buy an expensive i7 version of the Aspire 3830TG, but still don't have i7 performance.

Snazzy Ice-Blue Design; Decent Variety of Ports; Generous Chiclet Keyboard; Fans Usually Silent in Idle Mode; Adequate Battery Life; Low Power Consumption in Idle Mode

CPU gets Throttled Quickly, Even during Everyday Use (Gaming); Placement of Ports; High-Gloss Screen; Mediocre Display; Hot under Heavy Use; Poor-Quality Speakers; Non-Removable Battery

13.3" subnotebooks with up-to-date hardware and other positive qualities. For example, the entry-level Acer Aspire 3750, the Asus U30SD-XA1, the Sony VAIO VPC-SB1Z9EB or the premium-grade Samsung 900X3A.

700. Small. Can play games. Fast. Awesome battery life ; It's awesome for the price when you compare it to what else is out there. It's one of the more high end mobile gaming cards and it plays everything I want. Great boot times and crazy light...

Nothing I did not expect from a 13 inch laptop. The keyboard flex I read about is not even noticeable for me

Graphics - Can run all current titles with adequate graphics settings; will be able to run future titles on low/med settings. Runs Starcraft 2 @ 1080p on my external monitor with med/high settings ; Very Portable - For a laptop that can run games and...
