Alright, this is the last thread I'll make about laptops for now(I hope). I have narrowed it done to two laptops, but if you can find one that will run better and has a 2-3 yr drop/full complete warranty included in that price, feel free too post it.
Laptop one: Here. I'm really thinking about this one, somewhat for the i5 but also quite a bit for the Optical drive. We definitely need an optical drive and for the sake of convenience I really want it to be built in. What does it mean 8 GB DIMM RAM? Not DDR3? or..
And Laptop two: Here. This one seems like it may run a bit better then the i5 but doesn't come with an optical drive..
Thanks for any opinion/suggestions!
Don't ask me if I could get a desktop cause I can't. This is for my sister, I'm building a desktop in the future. kthx

The Toshiba has a better GPU and slightly worse GPU, while the Acer has a worse CPU and slightly better GPU.
In terms of MC performance, it shouldn't be very different.
Also the Toshiba isn't out yet, and I can't seem to find the release date for it.
If I had to pick though it would be the Acer.
Thanks! As for the release dates and such, TBH if we have to wait a few weeks it wouldn't be too bad. Of course the sooner the better but if it is 1-2 weeks it lets it be a little less stressful money wise.

Well apparently it says the pre-order price will last till June 16th, so for all anyone knows it might be a while.
Also there is absolutely no info on this laptop anywhere, and Toshiba isn't exactly the most reliable laptop maker

Thanks again! I'm leaning more towards the Acer. Although I'm still looking for some more opinions and I heard acer isn't the best either
