But I guess you want to game so for this round the 950M barely gets a nod. Gamers tend to get upset over anything less than the 960M. Today you want them on the 1050 GPU.
Trying to decide between these 2 laptops:
ASUS 15.6” Anti-Glare FHD Premium Laptop, Quad Core Intel i5-6300HQ, 8 GB DDR4, 1TB HDD 128GB SSD Hybrid, NVIDIA GeForce 940MX 2GB Dedicated Graphics, HDMI, WIFI, Bluetooth, Windows 10
Latest 2017 Acer 15.6" 1080P Gaming and Performance Laptop / 16GB DDR4 RAM / Intel i5-7200U (3.10GHz Turbo) / Nvidia 950M Graphics / 256 GB SSD + 1TB Drive with HC branded Protective Sleeve
I like the Asus because of the brand and reliability that Asus is supposed to have but the Acer has the 7 gen processor which would give a lot more battery life which I like and the bigger ssd drive. I'm not a gamer, i do pretty basic tasks but need lots of memory and like the idea of an ssd with a hdd and these are both in my price range...is the Asus brand that much better than Acer or should I just go with the Acer???
