Asus or acer

Would I be able to play some games with 1.7ghz
with 2.7ghz boost? Intel HD graphics 4400?

Of course, you just have to be realistic, new high demanding games may not play well on max settings. The Hd 4400 is a good graphics solution for all-in-one CPU/GPUs. The game Amnesia which is pretty graphics intense plays almost as well on my Intel HD 4000 as it does on my Nvidia 730m.

So will the 1.7ghz just boost upto 2.5ghz because I know 1.7ghz isn't the best for gaming.

I don't feel like this is a good buy for $500 if your intentions are gaming. There are just too many unknown variables at this point. What games are we talking about? What settings are you talking about?

Light gaming, minecraft, football manager 2014 (UK game) photoshop and microsoft word, Netflix and YouTube. That's what I'll be using it mostly for.

The acer laptop has just went down to £350, that's decent for an i5 IMO

the videos are fine, even minecraft probably on medium settings is fine.

So around $450-475? I'd say go for it...you are getting to the a boundary line where it's going to be hard to get an i5 for a cheaper price while at same time you need to get it before it's sold out.

I was trying to make sure you are expecting the performance it can supply.

You have been a great help my friend. Very excited to get windows 8.

That's the specs there for anyone who's interested.

I would recommend the Asus laptop. They are really tough and provide solid performance. I have an Asus laptop which is 7 years old and never had a problem with it. This is my experience with Asus and I strongly recommend it but after all it is your choice!

and I know people who still have 7 year old Acers

when it come to basic entry level of these 2 makers I think ,pick the best looking one like adafm already said

Had the acer laptop a day now and I'm loving it. Very quick and battery life is brilliant. Managed to get 6.5hrs out of yet yesterday. Very impressed
