Does this look like a decent setup for the money? My main priority is Lightroom 4 maybe some light gaming but not essential.
Is it possible to upgrade this laptop to a SSD at a later date? Could a BR drive be added?

Cheers

Great deal, graphics card is good for a laptop that price so gaming is no problem and the CPU is one of the new ivy bridge models. For £440 it is a bargain. You can change the HDD for an SSD or the DVD for a Blu-ray, later on if you want.

Thanks LJx

Thats great then, so I could pop in an SSD for extra performance no problem. I sold my PS3 due to never using it and never replaced with a Bluray player but as this laptop had HDMI out it would serve my needs if I get round to fitting a drive. This Acer laptop looks perfect, payday tomorrow and I'm going to get it

Cheers
