How long do you think an acer will last?

[XxHAMADEHxX]

I wanted a light gaming laptop for indie games, programming in python, blender, and rts

So I came up with 2 solutions

Buy this

Or buy this and change it to an a10 in the future

My parents will freak out if I buy an gaming laptop for 1k and I already have a ps3 =D

Thanks

The ASUS one should be OK for ya. If u want programming better get a i3/i5-3xxxM laptop, Inter's laptop has stronger CPU performance. (Your game is light enough, nearly every entry-level laptop can run it smoothly)

My experience with Acer has been that they last anywhere from 5 to 10 days after the warranty expires. YMMV.

I would go wit hthe ASUS.

Thanks guys

I did consider intel computers within my price range but the amd's had better graphics and it seemed like they could be changed if I wanted to.

Intel and NVidia cards can sometimes be changed in certain laptops too. It just depends on the socket of the CPU and the OEM.

All the Intels Ive seens have those Intel hd cards and the Nivida's are too expensive.

Thanks thou
