So as my asus c90s was dead and warranty said that will not repair it I had to choose something in very short time. And bought this toy – acer 7738g. My demands were very simple – Core 2 duo of course at least t6400, Geforce GT 130m as a must, 4Gb preferably ddr3, high resolution – width starting with 1400px – screen size does not matter as I will not be bringing this machine with me very often – I have small HP mini 2133. Must be Vista.
What is good with this laptop is that is supports two hard drives. And you can put one more hdd not instead of dvd-writter but in addition to it 
So in standart I have 320Gb and probably will buy 500gb 7200rpm secondary hard drive. Btw standart one is 320gb and is 5400rpm. Comparing to c90s asus this one has very high quality display. Also I should mention very good speaker quality. It says it has small subwoofer – I don’t know if it is true but sound is good.
First things I tried – installed several games that had problems on c90s – Overlord 2 and Vin Diesel Wheelman – they work perfectly. Though the processor is weaker than on my previous c90s – I had 2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo Extreme desktop processor, but in overall performance this machine is much much better. I am planning to try videi editing in some time – I will leave some comments
