Hey all,
I'm in the market for a new laptop, and have narrowed my search to two products:
A. Dell from Best Buy

B. Acer from Newegg (https/m.newegg.com/products/N82E16834316435)
The perks of the Acer is the larger screen. However, I would have to purchase a HDD, which the Dell includes already and as a whole is at a lower price.
In order to provide everyone with some more details on my preferences and use of this, here is some more information:
1. My budget is between $1000-1200
2. Laptop size does not matter too much, but I prrefer a screen size between 15 and 17 inches
3. I am fine with 1080p resolution.
4. This laptop will mostly be portable and not a desktop replacement.
5. Several hours of battery life is preferable but I understand I will likely lose much of this when gaming.
6. I intend to use this laptop to play games such as Total War series, other strategy games, and management simulators (i.e., planet coaster, jurassic world evolution, etc.). I would like to play these at the highest settings possible.
7. I would also like to use this machine to use MATLAB from time to time.
8. 1 TB if HDD space for games and files, and an SSD to hold my OS and other programs like Word.
9. Best Buy and Newegg are the sites where I found the best deals so far. Links are at the top of this post.
10. I'd like to keep this laptop for the next 5 years at least. My last laptop is still running fro. 2011 and the only reason I am really upgrading is to play games on the side and have a bit of a faster machine.
11. Optical drive would be nice, but I don't need one.
12. I'm not familiar as to which brands have better reliability or product manufacturing.
13. I live in the US.
14. Really I just want a laptop that I can use to primarily play games, do some work with word, and some MATLAB processing. I should note that the Dell has an additional $100 bringing it to ~$1000.
Any assistance in helping me determine which of these machines is superior is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
