To start off i already have a desktop for higher graphical quality. I need something for when i go to a friends or other places and i can obtain mid to high settings at a decent framerate my only issue with the acer is that it is a 17.3" and is 17" really that much of a size sifference? also will the i7 actually make a difference in games like, shogun 2, bf3, arma 2, and red orchestra 2?
