neeraj Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Go with Acer Swift 3. I had a quick look at the specifications. 1. AMD Ryzen 5 2500U is a good processor with low power consumption and integrated Vega 8 graphics! Vega 8 should easily outperform Radeon 520 graphics despite only sharing from the main memory. 2. Acer has got FHD IPS screen thats way better than your SVA antiglare panel on HP. 3, HP only has wifi b/g/n while Acer supports the ac standard. Google for more info. 4. You get an SSD on Acer. Ofcourse you might want to add another HDD to it but having an OS on SSD will be much faster. 5. While we are on OS, you get Windows OS preinstalled on Acer. HP only got Free DOS 6. I guess you are not a serious gamer so 8 GB RAM should be more than enough for you. Dont worry too much about upgrading it. Metal build on Acer makes it look much more premium. If i were to choose I would go with Acer ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true! Running a HP x360 Spectre, it's bad-ass. On par with the XPS-15. Regarding you purchase, H3ctor, there's a good review for the ACer on notebookcheck.com - alright for the price. I'd be leaning towards that. It really depends what you want it for. Pros - no CD drive (they're bulky). Better build quality. Better ports (USB-C) My personal gripes would be audio and fan noise - but as for the rest, looks alright. If you can stretch the budget, build quality will always be worthwhile - my last laptop lasted 5 years, as did the terrible touchpad, the creaky plastic case, and the tinny speakers it came with. Oh man I just saw the original post is from May ? Hope you got your laptop already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vitorio Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Almost always quality goes with price (Correlation). There is a saying that you have what you paid for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm rarely play games. But love to test different softwares. I read your topic and I know at deep of you (and me) mind you will happy with number 1. Don't buy laptop number 2 because 3 Negative points you have listed will hurt you latterly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASUS Zen that came back under warranty where he works . the customer wanted a brand new unit so I got the one he brought back with new ssd installed ... windows 10 home with none of the bloat that arrives with the factory installation...so no i do not think i over paid or got a crap unit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
