Hi guys,

 

Acer Apsire VN7-591G-72QC VS Asus ROG G551JM-CN120H

 

------------------------------------------------------

Acer:

15inch - Full HD - ISP 

GTX 960m with 4gb vram

i7 - 4720HQ @ 2600 Mhz

8 Gb Ram

HDD Cache SSD  1-TB (cache ssd 8gb)

 

weighs 2,4kg for 1300 Euro

 

Asus:

15inch - Full HD - ISP 

GTX 860m with 2gb vram

i7 - 4710HQ  @ 2500 Mhz

8 Gb Ram

Ssd 256 Gb

 

Weighs 2,7kg for 1230 Euro

---------------------------------------------------------

 

So basicly the Acer is better if I look at the hardware and slimness. But I never used a Hdd cachce SSD before. Is that any good? Could you pls tell me info about it. And which one would you suggest? Strangely I cant find any review about the Acer. The Acer would be perfect if it had only a SSD instead. I dont mind using a 256Gb one. I am really afraid of heat issues and fan noise because I will use it alot on my lap. 

 

I searched the web like crazy while looking at these standpoints for max 1300ish euro's.

 

1-) Must have Full HD

2-) Must have IPS ~5ms

3-) Must have SSD

4-) Must have HDMI port

5-) Must have a good GTX card

6-) Must have a good i7

7-) Must have 8gb or more

8-) MUST be slim and NOT heavy (cant be the thinnest I know)

9-) NO optical drive

10-) NO heat issues or fan noise problems because I will use the laptop alot on a daily basis.

The Acer is better on specs

Don't bother with that Caching crap. I've currently got it going on my Asus Vivobook and it's made no perceivable difference in performance compared to a regular laptop drive at all.

Check eurocomp. You can select the exact parts you want in your laptop

I have a 32gb ssd for caching only on my dell laptop and the difference is night and day

So its the same as a regular HDD

I cant find anything google about the "Acer Aspire VN7" laptop strangely.

Or even on youtube.

Pretty much mate

Actually it does offer a pretty good advantage, Pudget has an article on it.

 

Basically this.

 

 

They used an 80GB drive rather than an 8GB drive, but suffice to say, there is a difference.

Definitely go with the Acer.

But if you read just about any other review it only benefits tasks that are often repeated. Like boot up and all that jazz. If you have any diversification at all in your workload then it doesn't make the greatest difference.

Acer it is I think.

 

I am only worried about heat and fan noise issue besides that it looks all promising for its price. Specially the graphics card.

I mean, it's cache, kind of in the name. Only the most recent and consistently used programs are saved. You aren't going to see too terribly many benefits with 8GB but it's fully possible to upgrade it to something worth it.

Yeah I get that. But even with a 60GB cache (which is the max cache that Intel recommends before you get performance drop off's) you still only have enough room for some of the OS and a few programs, maybe part of a game.

 

I get why people like using SSD cache's and what not. But personally I don't think the benefits are really all that worth it at all. You get more control and much faster speed by simply picking what you want on the SSD manually and then leaving it be.
