HP or Acer 18" laptop?
I am looking for an 18" laptop for full HD movies, some gaming (not a big FPS gamer though), and general net use. I am trying to decide between HP and Acer.
HP- I7 820 GT230m video card Acer- I7 720 GT250m So the HP has a faster processor but is saddled with the 230 GPU where the Acer is stuck with the slower CPU but the 250 GPU basically doubles the GPU power... Any opinions? -Spartan |

I don't care for the reliability of either brand.

GLC,
Agreed HP (horrible performance) are shockers for reliability, but I haven't found Acer too bad... care to elaborate?? Spartan, Have you considered Dells or Lenovo? |

I am open to pretty much any brand but the 18" screen requirement narrows the options considerably. I have a few employees with HP's and Toshiba's in the field and we have had no problems so far, but I always listen to those with more experience than I.
 Does anyone know of any other manufacturers I may have missed that have 18" core I7 laptops available?
