hi there,

u said u choose acer aspire v13 over asus ux305 and lenovo u41

how about in term of reliability (storing phd data for 3 yrs), HHD vs SSD and in term of video editing? lenovo u41 got gt920. asus definitely not possible. please advise. tq

Sorry for asking noob questions.

thanks for your feedback. I owned a dell before and agree that the warranty is quite good. however the price looks quite steep for similar setup, still considering the pros and cons.

how does HP differ in this warranty aspect?
i stay about 5mins away from hp towers. is that the location to sent for warranty claims? it does say onsite warranty for HP.

just bought ENvy13 but i5 version. happy with the screen eventhough have some backlight bleeding but not noticeable during normal use. so far so good...the keyboard is nice

but among the listed above, if i got the money, i'll choose XPS 13

mine is hp 13 d0044tu i5-6200/4gb/128ssd

Saw it looks nice overall with aluminium magnesium body really looks premium + so portable.
Only if the bezel is thinner  hmm.gif
Anyway I still no where near QHD yet due to scaling issue. FHD is good enuf personally
*
u can adjust the scaling in the display setting...customize size and resolution... i have Acer S7 FHD IPS screen... HP Envy 13 screen is much better and brighter
