My main computer use is playing online videogames, so that's what's most important to me. I was wondering which one is better for that. I know they're both not that great, but they're what I can afford with the budget I have and I'd like to order from somewhere I know is safe.
Here are the laptops:

I don't have much of a financial choice, and my outlets don't support PCs well either (100 year old house.) I'm just wondering which one would be Better.
 
For gaming, the acer would be the best value. The A10-4600M has much better graphics capability than the Intel's integrated graphics solution.

EDIT: This would be a good desktop solution, you'd still need a keyboard and mouse...

That's a $523 desktop PC with Windows and a Monitor that would be a better gaming machine than those laptops you're looking at.
 


I agree with 8350rocks, As much as I love Intel processors AMD does have better graphics in there APU's
