I think the Asus would be better,if you want to game on it.

If not,both are similar in web design or programming.

Hurmmm... so far what I can say I satisfied with the performance... but whats bugging me is the touchpad, everytime i type something, it always move the cursor away.. i dont know maybe the pad is too sensitive or my hand is too big

Any way to disable the touch pad function?? I hate to buy an external keyboard to do my work.

Just use Fn + F9

For acer lappy= Fn+f7
the others : look at the F1-F12, which has a hand at rectangular.

BTW, does any of these A42JR has a HDMI output?

yes.. it has..

asus is always da batter choice.. good built quality.. warranty time..
