will you game at all?

Not likely. I have a desktop for that. Just need something fast for 5 years.

the laptop has good specs for the price point but acer laptops build quality are shady so im not sure if I would recommend any of them

I have an Acer at home and it's lasted me for a fairly long time. So I can partially attest to their quality I would pick the first laptop with the included SSD, especially if you want a speedy device.

I decided to get this one with a 120gb ssd:

Just got it today! Looks great. Doesn't feel "cheat" The hinges on it actually look pretty rugged.

Added it's specs to my signature.

Oh wow, didn't realize who I was talking to, lol.



Question that pertains to this since your laptops have the same GPU as this:

Does the GT 840M Support ShadowPlay?

I can't seem to find the option anywhere for it, it says the driver is too old of a version, yet it states it is up to date under GeforeExperience.

 

[iBUYPOWER - Jason]

The 840M should not be able to support ShadowPlay.

ShadowPlay is a feature that's included with GPU's starting with the 850M GTX.
