(I've heard bad things about Acer's quality... so i'm extremely skeptical about em)

Obviously, these are just finds I saw... I personally would rather have the opinions of ppl that know better, i'm by no means a laptop person, this is my first venture at buying one, hence why I really would love the opinions :)

I dont mean to be rude, but I did state I cannot buy from Sager simply because of a Credit deal I have from Newegg. Apologize if I wasn't clear, if I had all the money in my hands, i'd go sager in a heartbeat, but I cant.

I've narrowed my choices down to five options, hoping to get some feedback if possible? These are honestly the the best "Bang for buck" deals I see atm that can keep cost down and still give me maybe what i'm looking for. Any feedback, please, would be very much appreciated :)
