Answer 1

Get the Acer because of better graphics and bigger RAM.

8400M G is better than integrated graphics but not really fast because GPU has only 8 Stream Processors. It is the 8400M GS (16 SP) and the 8400M GT (32 SP) that are quite fast in games.

Answer 2

Acer. The CPU is just a hair slower than the HP, but the extra RAM and the GPU will make up for it. To answer your question, the 8400M will be a better choice. It's not going to run Bioshock or Crysis, but if you are getting Windows Vista, it will support DirectX 10.

BTW I'm not choosing the system just because of the brand.

Answer 3

i could avert the 8xxx series. Nvidia has subject matters with those playing cards, and it truly is like a time-bomb waiting to diminish to rubble your computer top after the guaranty is up. yet that aside, 8600M GT wins. it truly is an outstanding mid-determination performer.

Answer 4

the acer,thought i like HP,but in tis case HP is using amd chip which is nt veri good,go for the acer,it seems to be rather high specs
