I myself have an acer 5349 b800 that I am doing a whole project on.
It had 2gb of ram that I upgraded to 6gb and and im going to put the max amount 8gb at the end of the week.
I also purchased my i7 2720qm today and delivery wil happen between august and 2 September so I cant wait ! The g2 i7 cpus are very cheap now and I got mine for $70.
I have also purchased an pcie mini to pcie x16 adapter to try and add an external gpu. I will probably come here for the help in setting up. I don't know if it is possible to ad an egpu ta the acer 5349 but I see it has been done on the acer 5750 with an i5 2540m which is one of the first cpu s I waa looking to add but decided on the I7 2720qm because the price was almost the same. Both have sandy bridge and work on the same chipset and bios as far as I know. So hopefully it will work.
Has anyone else tried this yet ?
The laptop is way out of date but even so an i7 2720qm with 8gb of ram and an external gpu shoul be very competitive even in modern standards.
Any help would be appreciated !
