I was in the same dilemma as you acer or dell.

Eventually i went for DELL because of the support and price tag.

The lowest i can get on the dell 7447 14 is RM3059 and with alot of freebies.

Furthermore DELL notebook have a subwoofer speaker while the acer just 4 speakers around it.

The finger print is bad only when i carry it with alot stength putting back in notebook bag. Just a wet cloth you wipe its gone.

Overall i prefer the DELL

This very obvious when you watching video or movie HUGE difference and in editing softwares as well. ill go for 1920 x 1080 anytime

dell 7447 is with Nvidia Geforce GTX 850M

depends what your purpose on the device

i did also consider illegear but addtiional of 3799 for me not worth. I always allocate my max budget for notebook to 3k.

For dell 7447 the battery life is quite amazing full charge nearly 5 hours continuous using and you also need to remember the factory of weight.

even for the 7447 14inch its very heavy so you imagine 15 "
