The screen is clear and it runs whisper quiet. Lovely piece of kit
I recently went for an i5 spec 15 series, great bit of kit! Sure it looks a bit 'cheap' but its actually very nice to use and the quality is far and away better than the Acer. On the topic of the Acer, I had five faulty machines in a row from them, yep FIVE!! The quality control on display was shocking, I had problems ranging from scratched screens to its 'insides' sticking out of the the keyboard - crazy!!
Between the Dell and Acer I would take the Dell even if your loosing out on spec a little. Like I mentioned the build quality of the Acer's I had were simply awful, really quite shocked at how bad they were.
