The 2 laptops are sold with the following specs where i live:

Lenovo: Intel Core i7 4710HQ 2.5GHz / 3.5GHz 16GB 1TB + 8GB SSHD 15.6" 860M 4GB

Acer: Intel Core i7 4710HQ 2.5GHz / 3.5GHz 16GB 1TB 17.3" 860M 2GB

Now Lenovo's pros are;
4GB VRAM
8GB SSD cache.

Acer's;
Bigger and IPS screen!

Everything else is virtually the same, and i'm perplexed as i can't decide which is the best deal here. I love IPS screen, and it's bigger. But on the other hand Lenovo's got 2GB more VRAM and even very small, a SSD. I saw GTA V use around 2.5-3GB on laptops with high 1080p, which are the settings i'd like to play. I can't afford adding a SSD seperately, as they cost too much here. So what are your thoughts?

Btw, i've never used either of these brands before, so if you have, other thoughts from personal experiences regarding quality etc. are also welcome.

I'm not an expert in the fields of mobile graphics cards however i do know that the extra 2 GB of VRAM will be virtually non noticeable with that resolution on a PC.

I would personally go with Acer's because once you go IPS, you never go back xD
It's sad because i personally don't own a IPS monitor... :'(

Ikr? IPS offers such stunning and vivid visuals, i don't really care about the response times, since you simply can not tell the difference at all. Thx for your input anyways, look to save up for your next monitor:p
