i would not recommand any nvidia card in a laptop thier desktop card are great but thier laptop cards have a life expectancy of 2 years on normal condition let alone heavy gaming this issue began with the 8800 mobility and has been continuing untill now Dell/alienware ditched nvidia on thier m17x-R2 because of it and we are now begining to ear issue about the 260/280 in the m17x-R1
asus is also know as "reversed MXM" or "driver issue du to unsuported modification done to the graphic card original desing" (faling cooling is also used sometime)
also yeah a non quad and non CFX/SLi setup can cost under 1800 how ever i sugest investigate a long time befor making a purchase such as a gaming lappy
i have no experience with acer how ever so the choise is your's
