How much should i weigh the brand ?

[philippeb90]

i am looking for a new laptop.
Mostly i will only use it for playing a little Guildwars2, but i like having a laptop that dosent need to go all out to play my game.
Besides that, i need somthing stable since i am using it A LOT for my engineering study.

I was looking at the

Aspire V 15 Nitro VN7-591G-770E
Intel Core i7-4720HQ (4 x 2.60 GHz)
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M
8 GB DDR3 Memory
500 GB HDD + 8G SSHD

But then i read a lot of places that acer is shit and unstable as f*ck.

So i went and had a look at the

Spec:
Asus Zenbook Pro UX501JW
4k Screen
Intel i7 4750HQ
12 GB RAM
256GB SSD
1TB HDD
Nvidia Geforce GTX 960M

And at last to compare a little i had a look at the

Lenovo y50-70
Intel Core i7-4710HQ
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M
8 GB DDR3 Memory
1000 GB HDD + 8G SSHD

They all are so similar, but i read a lot of stuff about each brand.
Lenovo seems good enough though, but it is allmost 20% more expensive.

are the difference really that big in performance from these manufactors ?

And should i really stay away from the acer ?
The acer i can get pretty cheap, but they say the brand is shit
The Asus only gets complaints about GPU getting a little hot in the small case
The Lenovo dosent get much bad reports, but it is expensive.

Please lend me your wisdom guys

All are terrible value and outdated.
Acer isn't bad at all, that comment's incorrect.
Budget?

i think my budget would be 500 gbp/euro at total ?

please just bear in mind, there is no need for me to get the 1060 ect gpu since i dont really play a lot.
The most important part for me is the hdd space, ram and cpu since i need some power for when im in school.

When i get home i have my stationary to work on, but i need this when i travel forth and back from school evry day (5h total) and in school.

You can get all those for 500 pounds?
Get the second one, that's a bargain.
The 4k screen will help too.

ok thx.
Yea, thats why i decided to get one of them.
I know ofc. that i could do well with some better, but for 500 i thought they would be okay.
