Really tempted to buy the V15 but knowing Acer i must molest the model and wait for review first. (The built in battery bothers me tho, preciously using Acer TimelineX gaming on that machine not more than 6 months battery kaput already).

I have molested the Asus, nice build quality but i didnt really like the screen. I hate anti-glare FHD screen, it just doesnt work imo. FHD screen must be glossy in order to showcase the HDness. For me la.

I have it (Acer Aspire V Nitro) at my store at JB Danga City Mall. Come and have a look .

Previous Acer models are very known of its battery issue. Perhaps this time Acer do provide battery management software like what Lenovo does.

No bro, my acer 4830tg battery previously was very good 7hrs usually, but after i started gaming (dota 2) my battery deteriorate because of heat in about 4 months. thats why i dont understand why must they make a gaming laptop with built-in battery. But luckily Asus G551 battery is not built-in. I might be buying that out of these 3 altho the Acer specs is really tempting.

If you are not concern about the bulkiness of the size and plain design, the G551 would be suitable for you. As for Lenovo more targeting towards almost ultrabook-like. And the weight for each laptops are different as weight would also affect mobility

Asus G551JM : 2.7 kg
Acer V Nitro : ~2.4 kg
Lenovo Y50-70 : 2.5 kg

I heard Frixfox said that the screen of G551JM is a TN Panel not the IPS Panel.

Is anyone here can confirm the screen is IPS Panel ?

Acer is 2.4kg

The one you mentioned is the 17" version.

Thanks for noticing that point. I've made correction on that matter

this site confirms that G551 is IPS panel. and GL551 would use TN panel.

luckily G551 is one available in malaysia.

can anyone confirm about the screen?

Anyone know that Nitro v15 battery can be detached from the laptop..?Maybe we can detached or maybe with management software can disable the battery while gaming?

Hmm I'm a little worried about cooling on the ASUS or Acer. Would probably be best to wait for torture tests to come in.

I like that the ACER has dual fans and they are also reversible like the Lenovo. But at the same time ASUS isn't an idiot, their cooling is probably pretty good too.

Not too worried about the battery issue, I'm sure it's easily replaceable once you remove the back plate. Simple stuff.

Need to wait for teardowns and torture TESTS!!

Anyone have any explorer problem to their Y50?

My Y50 is sluggish and take a long time to open up folders and some simple applications installation file..the installation menu take a long time to come out..

Its not even a week for my lappie..past few days was alright for me.

Is it becoz the drivers? I noticed alot background processes such as NVIDIA, HD Audio..

So hard to decide get either lenovo y50 or acer nitro

If only they have Super Amoled screen for laptops.

GE60 2PE is FHD anti-glare, TN panel (not IPS)

so current best bang for buck 15inch gaming lappy is acer? lenovo already out of league?

As according to supplier, both asus and acer has Super limited stock for G551 or nitros black.

After having a short talk with acer ppl, they "hint" that these are somesort of marketing campaign

So i think, those who is lucky to find either G551 or nitros black, grab it.

IMO, Lenovo is still best bang for the bucks if considering to extend their promo with the razer bundle. That mouse alone would cost RM 200 - 300++ in the market, as they promoting their laptop as gaming notebook and gamers use mouse not trackpad. Lenovo still win in terms of thinness and weight, stylish (red USB 3.0, red keyboard, speaker grill and glossy finish up top) laptop design, double fans, well known JBL speaker and subwoofer
