Question

Acer Aspire F 15 or ASUS F555UB-DM035T

Mar 3, 2016 6:32AM PST

Hi, can someone please help me decide between these two laptops? Other suggestions are also welcomed in the same price range. I want a laptop with average GPU - probably Nvidia 940m for some light gaming (Fifa 16, LoL, HS). Skylake generation CPU (because I am not planning on buying next laptop for about 3-5 years, so investment in the future) and 8GB RAM minimum. I have new SSD in my old laptop so I will replace the HDD on a new laptop immediately. I searched for a long time and these two laptops stand out with their specs and low price at the same time. I know Acer has a bad reputation for their low quality laptops with known overheating? Is this still a thing in new/modern Acers, or are they good now? Asus probably makes better laptops, but I am not sure. Laptop will also be used for programming. Region: Czech Republic.

So I can't compare them directly. Both look nice.
