[NeaNicu]

This may be in the wrong board but meh hopefully a mod will move it :X

Well, I'm planing to buy a Laptop and change my old microwave(PC)

Wouldn't go for a laptop but yeah...
Asus all the way. Well respected & reliable brand. You know you could upgrade to an i7 for not too much more?

I know that asus has a very good warranty..and yeah I know I can but I can't really expand my buget

additional notes the lenovo processor is i5 2450M while the Asus processor is i5-2430M even though I don't know the diference between them.

The Lenovo is a bit cheaper also and there is a mouse + laptop bag with it


LE:

lenovo is out of the question, after a bit of googling for reviews I found that this model is not so good here in Romania D:

I saw alot of complaints about it so I don't want to take the risk...(just fyi if the laptop gets broken they are taking it all the way to poland to fix it)

I found an acer, similar specs as the lenovo and even cheaper o.o

I would go with the Acer, and they are all pretty similar with i5 processors and 2GB RAM

Although how much total storage space have they got? O.o

I ordered the Acer, ~10 mins ago...too bad the dicks removed the bag from the gift and only the mouse is a gift now

Friday I will have it:)

The acer has 750GB while the other2 had 500
