The ACER ASPIRE E1-470G laptop-desktop is suitable for students like me. the 2 GB of RAM is enough for study purpose. The Windows 8 makes it a perfect partner. The 500 GB of of internal storage makes it complete classmate. The 6 cell Li-ion battery runs for about 4 hours continously. The intel processor is outstanding. The DVD drive is also good enough. I recommend it to students for their study and for their refreshment as gaming.
