I just recently upgraded my laptop from an old Turion X2 after it literally blew smoke.
So I was caught between the Acer Aspire V3-571G-9686 and a newer Acer with a touchscreen and backlit keyboard with an aluminum chassis. Either one would be upgraded with 8GB of ram and a SSHD
For comparison
The one I got: http/
Core i7 3632QM
Geforce 640M
No Touch
No Backlit keyboard.
$630 was what I paid for the display system. Originally $800-$900
The other one(or similar): http/www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=8182687&CatId=4935
Core i5 3337U
Intel HD 4000
Touchscreen
Backlit keyboard
Aluminum chassis
No DVD drive.
$600 new
I'm not TOO heavy of a gamer, but I do game. I'm an engineering student. My main concern was with FL studio, and its advantages with a touch screen, as well as windows 8's advantages. I went ahead and downgraded to 7 for my current laptop, leaving windows 8 on the original drive.
I just wonder if the extra performance is worth missing features.
