Looking for advice on new laptop

[jonjsilves]

Here are my choices:

Acer Aspire V5-527G: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834314178

Acer Aspire V5-571P: http://www.amazon.com/Acer-Aspire-V5-571P-6642-15-6-Inch-Screen/dp/B009CQNPYQ/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1385680989&sr=1-3

First is not a touch-pad, second one is. Don't really want/need a touch pad. Will be using for following:

-VERY light gaming
-Google Research
-Microsoft Office tasks
-Portability
-Writing

Am willing to listen to any better deals that may exist.

Thanks!

The Acer from new egg is better for games because of the GT 720m. Since it does not have a touchscreen itis also lighter. A touchscreen adds weight.

Yeah I'm leaning towards the newegg one-overall it looks pretty superior, and the money saved can be put to a 4gb ram stick.

In terms of budget, I'd like to go max 650-700, minimum 500, before taxes and shipping. Ideally, I'd like to be in the 600 neighborhood.
