@puzzlezaddictThose are very good points you make.
Are the processors drastically different? I know the Acer Aspire is 9th gen and Lenovo is 10th gen and they are both Intel.
Also is Aspire 7 RAM upgradable? I feel like it could be a good idea to make it more faster on google chrome etc if there is an extra slot to add another 8GB of RAM.
That is very true in regards to using the laptop for other purposes too. To be fair, I use the laptop more to go on video calls, browse on Google Chrome, watch Netflix and use Microsoft Word & PowerPoint. I play The Sims 4 whenever I feel like it (so less) but I do like ultra settings hehe.
So in that case, maybe the Aspire 7 is better as I guess the Lenovo is more of a gaming laptop so it focuses more on the gaming experience despite both of them being gaming laptops. Also, speaking of which, do you know if the Aspire 7’s screen is dull like Leveno’s apparently is and do they have the same webcam quality?
I have seen reviews of RGB screen tests but I have no idea how to read them or interpret them, there’s so many things to consider, it’s crazy.
@Aidenguy00 The improvement from the 9300H to the 10300H is quite small, a bit disappointingly so even, so it's not worth taking into account. The Acer Aspire 7 has two slots for RAM and looks like it supports at least 32 GB, although you'd likely never use even 16.
The maximum brightness of a screen is rated in nits, with 250 being a bit dim and 300 much better. Matte vs. glossy is mostly about subjective taste. IPS is the highest quality type of screen, with VA also good; TN panels are low quality. The Aspire has a matte screeen and an IPS panel but not a particularly bright screen. If you'd like some technical data, these two reviews provide a lot:
It might be simpler to just read the overviews of the screen though. I should point out that neither of these reviews covers precisely the same model as is sold on Currys, but the screen is the same model.
In this category of laptops, there really are no perfect screens. That doesn't mean you shouldn't care, but it's something to keep in mind.
