Acer’s Aspire 5551G: AMD’s Budget Gaming Laptop

When someone talks about budget gaming on a laptop, a lot of things might go through your head. Are they talking about ten year old games on netbooks? Maybe by “budget” they mean 00? Or perhaps they’re referring to a pathetically slow IGP that can barely run modern games at 768p (but does reasonably well [...]

ASUS EeePC 1215N: Bringing NG-ION to the 1201
