they both have the same specs the only difference being that the acer has a broadwell cpu when the asus one has a haswell cpu

a friend is buying one of them today and he doesn't know which one

here are the product pages

scroll down and you'll see the specs

(i'm personally inclined towards the asus one, just because.. it's asus :D )

but personally I would go with the Acer because of the core i3-5005U but I wouldn't do either of them as I'm a longtime Toshiba user and would recommend a satellite series pc

Look for a Lenovo B50 or G50 with an A8 ot A10 - much better option

They have about the same specs, if I were you I would not do two of the following:

 

  1. Make a quick decision
  2. Buy either of the laptops

If I had to pick it would probably be the one with the Haswell, but the 4 GB of RAM is the real deal breaker.

Got an Android, never going back to apple again (notice I spelled apple with a lowercase and Android with an uppercase)
