Hi guys,

What do you think of below:

Acer Nitro 7 - 2019 model
9th gen i7 / 8GB RAM / HD 256ssd + 1TB
GFX 1660Ti / 15.6in / 144hz
RM 4999

I am considering this beside the new Dell G3 with 1660TI. Price almost same.

Thanks.

If my use is mostly productivity tasks ,like lecture slides ,YouTube vids ,browse the net . And for gaming just Dota 2 or csgo .And also I would like to edit raw photos and do some video editting .

Would the i5 plus gtx 1650 be okay
Or should I opt for i7 plus gtx 1050

Which is more future proof . My budget is limited so I can either choose better GPU or CPU

I'll take i5+1650

Dear ZM Fong thanks for your great effort, help me out:-

Raven SE - i7-9750H, gtx 1650 ,16gb dual channel ddr4, (not sure if can ask them for the promo that's just ended for freebies)
glock 5+ - i5-9400, gtx 1660ti, 16gb x 1 ddr4

all other configurations are similiar. Glock 5+ is more expensive by a mere rm154.

I'm asking because i do not have experience for both brands and kindly wish to have your opinion.

Thank you very much in advance.

I haven't tested Glock 5+ so I have no idea how's the cooling

Raven SE is decent but if you don't need thin and light, consider other options too

I’m just using the machine for simple virtual server and coding..So don’t need any advanced graphic card..Just need good cpu and ram..You are right,8+8 ram was available for free but I may need to upgrade additional ram in future that’s y upgraded to single channel slot..This spec was within my budget 😬

I see a lot of MSI from RM6k and above. other brands cannot lift Thor's hammer?

Asking because I am thinking to buy one in this price range and where I am working at right now don't have a lot of MSI options.

MSI new models are overpriced - there are other good options under 6k

Hence my question, why mostly MSI at those price levels?

My Aspire 7 just went kaput a week ago. While I still have my Yoga 720 for browsing, youtube, and media consumption, it kinda feels empty inside without gaming. I just (finally) bought Fallout 4 and only managed to get past the character creation when it blew (suspect the power port or something related, since it also blew the adapter)!! Gonna try sending it for repair. If not able to repair, then I am on the hunt for a new one.

I also dk why tbh. Didn't offer special features also.

Just get other options, they aren't worth the money even though the model itself is good (excluding MSI related QC+QA issues)

RAM is easy but storage a bit complicated since it involves OS install...

I only recommend good models - just pick the one you like
