    Smarter minds than me, please help me.
    I'm so torn between two laptops and would love to know from people Not on commission which would be better.
    the Acer aspire v-571 OR
    the advent monza s150 15.6 screen red.

    I'm coming from a perspective of upgrading from an advent 7110. So anything is an upgrade.
    I need it for the basic college stuff, but I also edit short amateur films, nothing too professional, but it rendered at a glacial pace with my old computer. I also hope to use it as a go between before I can afford a mac. The guys pitching the Acer are saying its a million times better and faster. its 100e more expensive and i dont really have the money for the acer but if it really really is so much better as the stores are telling me, I'd be willing to budget stricter in other areas of my life to stretch for it.
    My old laptop just quit on me and I really need it for college this week so I've narrowed it down to these two, though I've no doubt there are loads out there that I could have picked but, I would love if some peeps could weigh in on these two mega please??

    OP, are these the laptops you're referring to? In PC World?
    Acer: http://www.pcworld.ie/Product/156-widescreen-laptop-Acer/311846/301

    Advent: http://www.pcworld.ie/Product/ADVENT-Monza-S150-156andquot-Laptop-Red/311168/301

    There were two other Aspire 571s at PC World but I thought it would be this cos they're roughly €100 apart

    Not really an expert when it comes to integrated graphics cards hmm..video editing, you say?

    The advent is simply awful. Not worth it at all. Wouldn't be mad about the Acer either being completely honest.

    If I was chosing between THOSE TWO. I'd go for the Acer
    It definitely has a better processor but still not sure about the graphics..
    Intel HD 4000 vs ATI Mobility Radeon HD 6310 was it?
    I'd say look for a laptop with a dedicated graphics card..
