    Hello. Please is here any owner of this Acer notebook? I have some questions. I have in plan to buy this machine and would like to know something about it, because there is no review of 5951G worldwide.

    It's like a 5950G only with an Nvidia GT555M DDR3 instead of an HD5850 DDR3.

    It is however the lower performing 555M with just a 128bit mem bus with DDR3.

    So the 5850M in the 5950g would be faster for games.

    It also has a removable mouse pad that acts as a media remote control.

    Yes, I know specifications and it seems really perfect. But I`m afraid of problems with overheating and shutting down (often problems with Acer notebooks) and given that this notebook own only few peoples I am worry about future support from Acer.
