Help Deciding

[Pike1977]

Hello I was wondering out of these 2 laptops which was the better choice. I am currently seeking a laptop to assist me in my Graphic Design and digital multimedia courses. I know a little about computers but decided i would like an outside opinion. Out of the 2 choices i generally tend to stay away from acer products due to many of their reviews but the specs seemed on par with my first choice. Any insight will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hello Pike1977;

The quad core Sandy Bridge Core i7 2630QM CPU in the Aspire AS5750G is a much more powerful, and newer CPU than the Core i5 480M dual core CPU in the Lenovo.

Here is a match in spec with the Acer in the Lenovo lineup.
lenovo IdeaPad Y560p (43972AU) $900
Core i7 2630QM CPU 4GB RAM 500GB HDD 15.6" 1366x768 LCD w/ Radeon HD 6570M

Since you're looking for support in the digital multimedia I think the features of the Lenovo Y560P might be exactly what you're looking for:
