My friend is choosing a new laptop <.<

Mr. Psychologist · April 16, 2015, 07:07:22 PM

So I've already managed to convince him that buying a 2000+ Euro Macbook would be an utter waste of money for what he wants to do, so now I'm helping him pick out a decent PC/laptop instead <.<

He's found this acer aspire and I've given it the once over and it looks pretty decent for the pricing, but I'm wondering if any of you can critique it.

Don't bother with hurr get a desktop because I'll ban you. #Modabuse.
But yeah, the page is in dutch but the specifications are so anglicised you can probably read them all easily enough but a summary below anyway

Quote

GPU - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M with 4GB dedicated memory
CPU - Intel Core i7 2.6 GHz boost to 3.6 GHz
HDD - 1250GB HDD 250 SSD
RAM - 16GB DDR3
Bluray Player etc

Well it's better than my "Gaming Laptop" (hehe) that can run GTA V on medium/low at 1080p so I think he's good >.>

Ye, should be able to play pretty much anything with those specs. Be a while before he's in need of an upgrade.

Decent price for specs but it is an ACER and from personal experience my ACER laptop which was like $600 is shit and has shit hardware issues.

Ooooh, very nice.

Can't say much about the price though, I only know decent desktop prices (or when there's a deal on laptops).

I would check reviews from other websites about it though, usually there's one or two things that are minor but niggling annoyances.

Really? <.<

I've had two Acers and they have both been excellent <.<

Both a $500ish one and a $900 ish one >.>

Psy, unless he needs it portable, getting a laptop is the silliest move he can make.
