I've landed on a Acer Aspire V3-772G-5413 17.3-Inch Laptop after days of searching.

I'm looking for mostly a gaming laptop, with light office-work use. So I'm glad to get an i5 with graphics rather a i7 with onboard graphics.

Is there a better laptop for the money, and use? or is the best deal?

You could probably find a better refurbished laptop, but those can have loose keys, broken parts etc. This is probably as good as it's gonna get.

Thats a good deal in my opinion and should definitely get it assuming your not a serious gamer.

I meant if he searched hard enough he could find a cheap refurbished one, but it wouldn't be easy.
