I'm going to be starting college within the next month. I will be in dorms and will have my main rig there with me, but I think having a laptop to move around with will be nice. I can never bring myself to purchase a laptop without a dedicated GPU, shame on me. I was looking for a laptop that can moderately play games and also be used for mobility. I am heavily swayed by battery life and by heat, meaning some netflix not at a desk would be great. I hated the fact that my last laptop couldn't be used at anything but a desk. (i7 3630QM and a 650M... I wonder how that happened XD) Therefore I am not really looking to spend on a 1050 due to its increased wattage on both the 1050 and the quad cores that come with it.
I found the new Acer laptop with the MX150 and the I5 7200U, I know both of those are very low wattage and seem to tick every box for me. Just wanted to get some second opinions on the build quality and the cooling. As well, I have heard some odd things about acer in the long run, anyone know anything about this? Thanks!
tl;dr looking for a laptop with good cooling and good quality but somewhat powerful.
