As far as I can tell, this Acer Aspire 5 is the same price as the one in the $600-699 category but has the newer i5-10210 instead of the i5-8265. Not seeing any other differences in specs :) Any reason to favor the i5-8265 model?
Hi, the Acer Aspire 5 is probably your best bet. It has an MX250 graphics card, perfect for light gaming.
Hey, I'm going to update my request. I posted earlier in the week and had time to think this weekend.
Reflections:
General Usage Habits:
Budget: Initially; $400-600; but concern with build quality pushes me towards < $1000
Country: USA ~Getting to a Microcenter, BestBuy or Walmart isn't a problem.
Screen size: 13-14'' -- 1080p; prefer SSD & 8GB of RAM.
Screen resolution: Prefer 1080p with solid brightness & good viewing angles.
Heat:
Sound: I'll likely bring my soundbar/headphones, but sound isn't unimportant.
Touch screen: Depends; I think it's almost mandatory for Chromebooks & less so for laptops.
Battery Life: I want something that's fairly powerful but can last a full school day (5-10 hours).
Weight**: Less than 5 lbs; considering various Chromebooks & Ultrabooks; the lighter the better.
Tl;DR - Laptops & Chromebooks that I'm considering:
Laptops:
https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/ideapad/ideapad-flex-series/Lenovo-IdeaPad-FLEX-15IWL/p/88IP8FX1272 (Lenovo Holiday sales ~ 10th Gen Intel = nice integrated graphics (for me anyway..)
I know that I could get better "value" - with a 10th gen i5 & an MX250 w/ the Acer Aspire Slim 5. The hardware is better, but I find the build quality concerning because this is a machine that'll go pretty much everywhere with me. The Vivobook, while less expensive loses a lot of battery life compared to the UX333FA; which I'm considering picking up used or possibly on Ebay because I love the aesthetic and getting it for ~ $700 is a much more competitive deal for me.
Edit (adding some Microcenter deals) UX333FA-DH51 is @ $800 & HP Spectre x360 is at $850/800 too.
This is probably the next step down. Plastic build so compromise there. Similiar CPU much slower GPU. $650 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XJRGKKD
The next step down is the Thinkpad E495. Its a better built metal frame 14" laptop that isnt too bulky. Its got a Ryzen 5 3500U which is slightly weaker than the other CPUs. But this CPU has pretty strong integrated graphics. Obviously nothing compared to dedicated GPU though. $500 https://www.newegg.com/p/2WC-000J-008F8
this is the better option it comes with double the ram and newer CPU which is why it is 150 more :)
Yeah here is the link she sent me A515-54G-53H6
I'm not really spec literate so I just see numbers and buzzwords lol.
