Need help picking laptop... Lenovo or acer

[bedtimethug]

I am going to start college in august so the laptop is mostly going used for school for assignments . Light gaming and programming but just barely getting into programming so not really hardcore programming. Im on a budget and dont know wether to choose between the acer or lenovo.

The Acer will be faster in games, the Lenovo is likely to be more reliable and has a faster CPU for general use.

I would say that the lenovo edges out slightly as the gpu's are the same for both laptops and the cpu in the lenovo is slightly better than the dell
