💬What Redditors Actually Say
What Redditors Say
Best praise vs top criticism for Acer Aspire 3
“The aspire 3. Only one that isn't complete, total garbage. First 3 are all N4500's. The first even is only 1366x768 display. Absolute junk. 5700u is double the cores, quadruple th threads, better ipc. Fhd display. It's in another league from the first 3 in terms of performance.”
“Depends on what you want. If you need performance, acer, but is kind of cheap build. Ideapad probably will last longer, won’t break that easy, but is less performance.”
What Redditors Say
Best praise vs top criticism for Gigabyte G5 (2023)
“Gigabyte & Lenovo make some performance powerhouses that don’t look like it. Personally I pick Gigabyte. I am running a 4060, i7-12650H, 64gb ddr5, 3tb of m.2 in a Gigabyte G5 KF5(2023). My laptop is budget, I have about $1200 into it. Gigabyte makes even better models. Good port availability. Keyboard lighting is customizable but really the only feature that looks “gaming” related, can be turned off entirely or made white.”
“How to get rid of the issue? Cuz my gigabyte g5 mf also overheats and i'm planning to use it as a main pc and laptop both”
