Hello.
I'm deciding on which laptop to buy and I could use some professional opinion. I already searched a bunch of websites, of course in my country, so the selection was limited. The final two laptops from which I'm deciding to buy (from 141341 viewed :)) are:
Specifications of Acer VN7-791G-74K6:
Processor: Intel ® Core ™ i7-471HQ (2.5 GHz up to 3.5 GHz, 6 MB Cache)
Memory: 2x4GB DDR3
Hard drive: 128GB SSD + 1000 GB 2.5-inch 5400rpm
Display: 17.3 "(43.9 cm) LED FHD (1920 x 1080, 16: 9), anti-glare, IPS
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M; 2GB DDR5 VRAM
Battery: 3-cell Li-ion battery
Weight 3.0 kg

Specifications of Asus N750JK-T4052D:
Processor: Intel Core i7 2.4GHz 4700HQ (up to 3,4GHz)
Memory: 12 GB
Hard drive: 24 GB SSD + 1 TB HDD
Display: 17.3 "(43.9 cm) LED FHD (1920 x 1080, 16: 9), anti-glare, TFT
Graphics Card: nVIDIA GeForce GTX850M 4GB
Battery: 6-cell Li-ion battery
Weight: 3.3 kg

I'm looking for the best laptop for college, software development, little gaming, movies...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would choose the first one if it wasn´t for the battery. The GPU and CPU are better, memory is upgradeable so 4GB difference is okay, 128GB SSD. I guess if you could find a better review with battery tests (it could have less cells but each one could hold more charge) it would be great

Acer, MSI, Sager, HP (sometimes), Asus (sometimes) and lenovo are usually among the best price/perfomance and quality. What sites can you buy from (link them to me)? do you need thin and light solutions?

i would recommend the Asus N750JK-T4052D because my friend has that laptop and he does hardcore gaming, java coding and school on it and he has had no issues, so highly recommend it

I wouldn't want it to be heavier than 3,5kg (2.2 pounds).

I think the best Acer is still the one I started this thread with. I somehow didn't find this Lenovo. I'll take a closer look at it now. Thanks man.
Edit: Ok, I remembered. Lenovo has glare display (Acer's has non-glare IPS), also no SSD. I'll just stay with Acer.

Hello,
Here is some information not regarding particular case, but rather in overall which company is better Acer or Asus.
I can tell you if you have option to choose between Acer or Asus, take Acer.
Why ?
I had 6 year Acer computer, (it worked perfect GW2 and WOW worked without problem) I thought to change it and recently bought new Asus X550L (02.10.2014).
Review of Asus computers.
1. Terrible.
2. My colleague have Asus that was bought 3 years ago and he admits its as was bad choice.
3. My another friend bought best Asus in shop (27.09.2014.)with aluminium case and I need admit it is as well is not perfect.
3. Small but important features that makes me annoying is sensitive mouse that you cannot compare to Acer, which is much better.
4. The screen of my computer gets scratches every time if there is smallest things on keyboard.
5. I bought plastic surface with grey color. The surface gets already visually bad.
5. Overall I need that Acer is better in terms of visual things and use. I cannot say nothing about hardware.
