Which of these laptops should I get?

[irontrooper]

I have found 4 laptops at my budget limit and would like to ask your opinion on which one would be the best, or if there is some within that budget that might even be better. The laptop is meant for everything and to last for years to come.

The links are the following, you might have to right-click and translate to english if you don't understand some of the words, I tested it and it translated to english correctly. Also I have listed the local price in USD if it helps!

Acer Aspire E1-771G (653USD)

Asus X75VB-TY095 (639USD)

Lenovo G710 (631USD)

Asus X75VB-TY096 (639USD)

Thank you!

Because they all have similar specs and graphics in particular, I would go with the Acer Aspire simply because it has the i3.

Also, I'd look into upgrading the memory to 8gb.

The Asus X75VB-TY095 (639USD). It's identical to the Asus X75VB-TY096 (639USD), but it has a larger HDD and the color is different.

The other two have significantly weaker GPUs so they would be really bad for gaming.

Similar graphics?

The Acer he linked shows 710 with 2GB.

That really means nothing @ 1600x900. More VRAM doesn't add more performance; It adds the capability to use higher resolutions.

Thanks for the quick replies. One more question, do you think there are any other laptops in Asus X75VB-TY095 (639USD) budget range that outperform it? Thank you

So, then what makes it much better?

I couldn't find anything better than that on the same site.

So, then what makes it much better?

2x wider memory bus = 2x higher memory bandwidth
Around 5% higher clock speed
More than 2x better floating-point performance
More than 2x higher texture rate
More than 2x higher pixel rate
Twice as many render output processors
288 more shading units
Twice as many texture mapping units

All copied straight from the site I linked.

Fair enough. I didn't scroll down that far. Still, is the i3 not worth considering due to its hyperthreading?

 

[Eduello]

Yes, it would be worth considering if it wouldn't be used for gaming.

For gaming it's better to have an OK GPU and CPU, than a goodish CPU and a bad GPU. Also, upgrading the CPU of a laptop is easier than upgrading the GPU 99% of the time.

Any of these perhaps?

Any of these perhaps? I ran price filter and screen size, along with minimum 4GB RAM filter.

Nope, the Asus X75VB-TY095 still has the best GPU out of those laptops.
