No real need to play games, but I'd like the option if it were something light/casual, like Torchlight.

I'm fine with 320GB

I usually buy from Newegg.

3-5 years
11. What kind of Optical drive do you need? DVD ROM/Writer,Bluray ROM/Writer,Etc ?
DVD is fine.
12. Please tell us about the brands that you prefer to buy from them and the brands that you don't like and explain the reasons.
I'm on the fence about Acer, would love to hear thoughts on their quality.
13. What country do you live in?
USA
14. Please tell us any additional information if needed.
I've been looking into this for the past few days and, based on my reqs I've found a few that I like, but need some opinions first.
Here's a link to the few I've narrowed down: https://secure.newegg.com/WishList/MySavedWishDetail.aspx?ID=25323268
My 1st choice is the Acer Aspire AS5742G-6426, but I have never purchased a product by Acer before and I'm worried about reports of cheap quality and/or bad customer service. I'd be interested in knowing if there is a comparable Asus model to suit my needs.
Thanks for any help!
