$1000 Aus Laptop

Hello Everyone,

 

My cousin's laptop recently died. It was slow when it was new, and she had it for a few years. She will be going to university next year or the year after, and she definitely wants a laptop as opposed to a desktop because of this. She also wants one with decent battery life because she is aware of the lack of available power points at universities, etc. She will be using this for moderate - heavy gaming and so wants dedicated graphics, and more than 4GB RAM. Finally, she has $1000 to spend but will be buying here in Australia.

 

With that said, we are looking at getting an Acer M5-581TG. On Mwave.com.au it is $789 which leaves her with some extra cash for games, a new carry bag, all those kinds of things. Can anyone suggest anything better?
