hi i'm looking at two laptops, one has a superior CPU, the other a superior GPU - which would you prefer? both are manufacturer refurbished and both come with 6 month manufacturer warranties.
1) £570 Asus N550JK-CM604H : i7-4720HQ, GTX 850 (2gb), 8gb ddr3, 1 tb Hdd, 1920/1080 FHD IPS Touchscreen (gloss)
2) £600 Acer Aspire V Nitro VN7-592G: i5-6300HQ, GTX 960M (2gb), 8gb ddr3, 1tb Hdd, 1920/1080 FHD IPS (matte)
i've never had a gloss laptop screen before - in practice how big an issue will glare be?
i doubt i'll ever use the touch screen, what actual purpose does it have?! (other than show, obviously)
lesser points -
asus has an aliminium upper and nicer styling,
acer has backlit keyboard (i work in the dim/dark a lot so fairly big deal for me - is retrofitting one to the asus at a later date viable)
asus is reported to have an issue with screen - mobo cable, although this can be fixed
neither mentions m.2 ports or esata so i assume they don't have them
i'll play fallout 4, and do some video editing on premiere pro if these applications make a difference to cpu vs gpu decision?
thanks for the input!
