Intel® CoreTM i3-3110M

1000gb.



I want to use it for gaming. Like warface, cod on lowest settings and watching youtube videos in 1080p thanks
 
Solution
Lenovo has the faster CPU, Acer has higher res screen, up to you which one you like better.
Neither of them is really any good for gaming but for non-demanding games, the Lenovo will be faster.


Question (I'm trying to learn): Isn't 1366x768 on a 15.6 inch screen effectively the same pixel density as 1600x900 on a 17.3" screen?

 


Pixel density or pitch between the pixels won't help you when it comes to how much it can display on the screen or how many pixels the system has to push on the screen to view it. What you get with those screens is a similar sharpness, not how much you can fit on it.
 


Thanks! :D
