Main use is for school, perhaps some light gaming CS/Lol. Leaning on Acer currently since the integrated GPU is way better on the ryzen than intel, but any personal experiences with either brands would be nice. Still waiting for tigerdirect and memoryexpress since they don't have any flyer previews.
Dell useing last gen CPU. Current gen is about 20% faster. Both using mechanical hard drives. I have seen an Acer and HP laptop with current gen I5's and 256 GB SSD's for $600 on sale. Keep checking RFD for a deal.
