Hello and welcome to the forums
I would go for the first one because it has a faster CPU and VGA.
As for the slower HDD,you can upgrade it yourself

i've heard some stuff about asus making better computers than acer and i don't want to get something that will break in a year or 2

OK then,how much do you want to spend on a notebook? there may be better options

 

[jwycko]

$900 or less

Hi there,

The best laptop really depends on what you will be using it for. I noticed that both laptops you linked to have graphics cards. Are you a big gamer?

I play WoW, mass effect, and some of the total war games. It's always nice to have a good computer anyways. I currently have a inspiron 1520 P.O.S. so most anything is an upgrade. I'm most likely going to buy one of these two, i know they're both pretty powerful for laptops , but i don't to get screwed in a year or two because of the quality of the hardware.

This is a fantastic deal

Hi there,

I would go with the Acer because the processor is much more powerful. Plus, the larger screen would be better for gaming. It seems like the better value overall.

Jwycko, go to BB's site and search on the ID number 9736955 and I believe you will see what Maziar touted: (Please correct me if I am wrong) and yes this is a great deal for that price point!
Model: G60JX-RBBX05 | SKU: 9736955
Intel® Core™ i5-430M processor; 4GB DDR3 memory; 6-cell lithium-ion battery; DL DVD±RW/CD-RW drive; 16" widescreen; 500GB hard drive; built-in webcam; facial recognition; Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

That's right ^ it seems bestbuy links never work lol

 

[jwycko]

I ended up buying that one from bestbuy yesterday, but it was buggy and kept crashing. I returned it earlier and got a new one. This one seems to be working fine, although i haven't played any games on it yet.

 

[Maziar]

I hope it works fine for you
