Hi to All
This is my first post and first which should i get Q!!

This is my first laptop purchase and know nothing about their fabctionality and reliability.
Notice that i am an average gamer and i'm looking into something cheap and fast for this "needs" as well.
The above two are just two choices some friends suggested and are around my price range.
Both are the 2.5Ghz versions of their line.

the Acer is an all over better machine for the money. double the RAM, bigger screen with true 1080P resolution, better video card. I'd go for the acer over the LG in this case

I agree. The 8600mGS and 9500mGS are almost identical. If you game, you'll have to turn the res way down on the acer, but it's got more bang inside.

You mean the LG.
Acer has the 9*** series.

No, I mean the Acer. The acer has a much higher screen resolution, and nearly the same gpu as the LG. In order for them to perform similarly, the screen res on the acer will have to be turned down. Whichever notebook has the 9 series doesn't matter.
