Hello, TPU.


Last week, I bought an Acer Aspire 4750G with:

Core i3-2310M
GT 540M Graphics (IDK for the Graphics memory, could you tell?)
2GB DDR3 Memory
500GB HDD
6 Cell Li-ion Battery
DVD-SuperMulti DL Drive
14.0" HD LED LCD

...... so I'm thinking is this the best laptop for $800?
If not, then what would be the best ones? I need atleast 5-6 hours of battery life, and the one I can edit photos and videos with, smoothly. (540M is working very well for this) (and I don't want mini laptops)

So is there a better laptop for me? Thanks :)
