1366 x 768 display resolution automatically gets a no from me (both laptops). Not for $764.
Look into a Lenovo E485 perhaps? https://www.ozbargain.com.au/product/lenovo-thinkpad-e485
How is i5 compared to amd ryzen 5?
Better graphics built in.
It's very worth it, use cashback to get 10% back later so it's about $80+ saving as well.
Edit: someone did point out that the Intel version, which is the E480 has better battery life.
+1 on this. For less than $200 extra you are getting so much more. 16GB ram. SSD which will make a world of difference. 1920 x 1080. 45WH battery and it comes with a USB - C charger.
1366 x 768 display
What is this 2009
The keyboard is far superior on the Lenovo as well.
After having used a colleagues Acer, I was very relieved to go back to my e570.
It infuriates me how laptops are still being shipped with mechanical drives. I recently got my wife a Dell from the ebay sale and it had a HDD. First thing I did was pull the drive out and replace it with an SSD.
I am happy if it comes with a HDD as long as it acts as a storage drive not a boot drive (SSD)
Get one of those $1000 1050ti / 6700hq / 1080p / 8-16gb ram laptops
They will give you a much better time.. like scrimshaw said 1366 x 768 should honestly be banned / illegal now.. it is so bad (source used to watch youtube and game on a 1366 x 768 laptop.. ship was not cash)
The one one the left.
Ew, 768p screens
Have you looked into the e line of thinkpads? They've been having great sales recently.
They have a line with the ryzen processors as well,cwhich has vastly better iGPUs.
Recently bought one myself for $755. Think they go for something in the $800s right now though.
Edit: If you go for that, just get the SSD and add your own HDD. Their prices are pretty bad for HDDs
So they both have identical processors and 1TB mechanical drives. The bluetooth version is newer on the HP. The HP has 8gb of RAM where as the ACER only has 4 with "16GB intel optane" not sure how the performance of that goes so maybe someone can offer insight into that.
