Acer Aspire V5-571G 15.6" Display - Intel Core I5 3337U, 8GB RAM, 750GB HDD, nVidia GT620M, Win 8

specs as below. It is pretty last generation, but it's going for about 500 auzzie dollars ( and i can claim australia gst back when i fly back, so the price about 450 aud = 550 Sgd dollars). Furthermore, the shop offer $9 extended warranty of 1 year.

I read online from notebookcheck that this model LCD panel is quite dim ( ~170 lux). Anyone can advise? Can i buy a similarly priced model in singapore? Even thinking of taking out of the 4 gig ram module to sell it off since 8 gig seemed kinda overkill for me.
Mainly watch movies, maybe dota 2, that's all.

Ha, you are also here:)

Can't comment about the specs/quality but I was looking at the model below just last weekend. Was selling at $799. So the price you are getting over there is much better.
