Hey, I've been deliberating on this forum on what laptop to purchase for a budget of around £500. I ended up yesterday deciding on this ASUS, and was going to order it tonight, but I've just seen an ACER for £50 more, but some of the specs seem better. I'm wondering whether the specs are worth the extra £50, or whether ASUS is a better brand than ACER in general so I should stick with my original choice!

ASUS: https://www.amazon.co.uk/ASUS-X555UJ-15-6-Inch-Laptop-Notebook/dp/B015OG3MMW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1461948185&sr=8-1&keywords=asus+x555uj

ACER: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Acer-Aspire-V3-574G-15-6-Inch-Notebook/dp/B016B9134U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1461948204&sr=8-1&keywords=acer+v3+574g

Thanks for any replies! Any suggestions are welcome as well! I'm going to mainly use the laptop for web browsing/social media/entertainment/video streaming, not for gaming except the occasional online game! Thanks again!
 
The ASUS does have better specs, and I find ASUS to have less problems. but in the end it's your own personal preference and what you want to spend.
