Let me start this off by first saying...

I'm a teenager and I go to my friends houses to play video games with them. That is on PC, however my laptop is starting to lack luster against demanding games like the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Grand Theft Auto V, and the upcoming Arkham Knight: which I doubt my laptop will be able to run. So I have decided to upgrade to a newer and better gaming laptop. However I can't decide which laptop to pick.

So far I have found two laptops for ~1000 (my budget). So here they are.

Acer Aspire V15 Nitro Black Edition VN7-591G-70RT 15.6 Inch Full HD

or

ASUS N550JX-DS71T 15.6"

I have found more but these are the ones I have liked the most. If you don't think these are good laptops, just say so and recommend another. Thanks for your help.

Yes, i think it should be able to
These are both alright gaming laptops, they are both somewhat similar, but personally, i would go with the ACER ASPIRE, and maybe spend the money you save on a monitor / games etc.
 


Do you think the Acer will run GTA and Arkham Knight (Judging from the recommended requirements) with decent fps on medium settings?
