please help. i feel like i want the Acer laptop. the model number is E5-475G-50ST. does anybody know if the unit's battery is removable or built in?

The ASUS is likely to be the more reliable and has an OK video card for low settings in games or non-demanding games. The trade off is the lower resolution screen than the Acer. So up to you here, better reliability reputation or slightly better specs.

I will rather recommend Lenovo. As I have been using it since a year and I am quite satisfied with its specs. but my
Cpu : AMD A6
Graphics: AMD Radeon A6 DDR3 2Gb.

the 4 cell battery lasts around 5 hours max without charging..


See if this might help you with anything
