Help me decide on a new laptop
whats up everyone, I need a little help here, Im too damn indecisive
I currently have a Dell XPS 1640 that I bought back in 2009ish
The computer has served me well, but its time for a new one
Just a little backround, I dont really use it for games, mainly just browsing, music and some other crap
This thing when new barley lasted 2 hours on battery, which isnt a huge deal because it never leaves the house, but a little better battery life would be nice
The main thing I cant stand about this laptop is how hot the damn thing gets, being that its mainly on my lap, it gets annoying
I wanted to keep my price around 8-900, so here are my 3 candidates!
Micro center has this on sale for way cheap compared to everyone else, including amazon, its an older model but the guy there says at its price its better than anything out there, looks petty solid even tho it is a little older, but Ive read battery life is lacking

This is the lenovo I was looking at, I like that its ddr4 and I kind of like the screen size, also another one I can get cheaper locally at micro center
http://www.microcenter.com/product/4...puter_-_silver
And this is the acer swift 5, battery life seems good, and the computer seems nice and refined and all around a good choice, super thin too
I was dead set on the Acer until I saw the other 2 at micro center, I still feel the Acer may be the most complete for what Im looking for, just a little concerned with build quality
And Im wondering if the Samsung is as good of a deal as the guy made it out to be.
Any input appreciated!
