I'm interested in an Acer laptop. Could you help me figure out which one to get? Maybe a Switch 11

I really like the look and versatility that the Switch 11 is advertising, and it seems that it would suit my needs for drafting art ideas, but I might also want to use it for gaming if at all possible. I don't know anything about system specs or whether or not the Switch 11 can be upgraded to meet the requirements of the game I want to play if a standard model doesn't meet the requirements. The game producers reccomend these specs....

 

Minimum specifications:
OS: Windows 8.1 64 Bit, Windows 8 64 Bit, Windows 7 64 Bit Service Pack 1, Windows Vista 64 Bit Service Pack 2* (*NVIDIA video card recommended if running Vista OS)
Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz (4 CPUs) / AMD Phenom 9850 Quad-Core Processor (4 CPUs) @ 2.5GHz
Memory: 4GB
Video Card: NVIDIA 9800 GT 1GB / AMD HD 4870 1GB (DX 10, 10.1, 11)
Sound Card: 100% DirectX 10 compatible
HDD Space: 65GB
DVD Drive 

 

Recommended specifications:
OS: Windows 8.1 64 Bit, Windows 8 64 Bit, Windows 7 64 Bit Service Pack 1
Processor: Intel Core i5 3470 @ 3.2GHZ (4 CPUs) / AMD X8 FX-8350 @ 4GHZ (8 CPUs)
Memory: 8GB
Video Card: NVIDIA GTX 660 2GB / AMD HD7870 2GB
Sound Card: 100% DirectX 10 compatible
HDD Space: 65GB
DVD Drive 

 

Its not necessary for me to play this game (of course). I care more about using it for my artwork, but it would be nice to have both... the same as how you can have both a laptop and a tablet with the Switch 11.
