Answer #1
Number 4 gets my vote.
Answer #2
Number 4 gets my vote.
Reason? Is it the 4GB Graphic card? I often just use laptops for movies and games like Fifa, FM. Would 2GB itself be sufficient?
What about Fujitsu (1), faster CPU? What about Acer (3), faster and better graphic card? But is the power (135W) an issue to consider???
Answer #3
Also there was a study done on laptop reliability and Asus and Toshiba came out on top.
So specs are important, but so is the brand.
BTW Acer is one I would not go anywhere near like Dell…
Answer #4
ASUS, as it is very nicely balanced, and while the Acer does have a much more powerful GPU, it’s CPU is not up to par to justify it’s price
Other things to consider when purchasing laptops:
Weight
Build material Battery life
and note that resolution of the screen does not necessarily translate to a better screen
Answer #5
i would go for asus but if you want that will last long, i would say you can consider toshiba brands (my 2008 toshiba is still kicking).
i love my new asus, nice ergonomic designs, loads apps in seconds.
but im guessing your after of gaming device that has a performance life of 2-3 years, you should go for asus
Answer #6
I would seriously look into adding an SSD to the laptop you choose. You can remove the 1TB HDD and get an enclosure for nothing off of Amazon and use it as your external. I download all day and have yet to buy an external that didn’t come from my laptop, due to “room” issues, besides externals are cheap, but performance is way more rewarding. I bought my Toshiba Portege, took out the HDD, added the SSD, and over four years later I recently timed my boot time and it ended up being faster than when I first installed it. Crazy? Maybe? I bought a Crucial 128GB SSD and it rocks (Too small now, buy a 256 or higher for less transferring). I sold IT products to large hospitals and clinics, and I would always convince the old IT guys this was the way to go and to buy Crucial, even though my margins on Intel and Kingston were somewhat higher. Good luck–pick a winner.
