Let's see. You want Intel Core 2 Duo power. You need 2GB of RAM. You wouldn't mind a dedicated graphics card to speed up multimedia, and the occasional games. Of course, card reader and web cam would come in handy, too. You don't want to pay a lot of money for all this. The Acer Aspire 5620 is probably the lowest cost laptop to tick all of those boxes. You can easily buy a Core 2 Duo laptop for around £400 these days, but this is the only model in the Acer range (or any other brand name) to utilise a very respectable Radeon X2400XT graphics card, with 256MB of dedicated memory. The new "Profile Chassis" is rugged and scratch resistant, offering a longer lifespan.Overall, this is a no nonsense offering from Acer that's designed for mid-range performance, at a price that you can afford.
