Which one should I go for, worth the £70 difference?

[TimBlanchard]

Acer Aspire 5542G Laptop - Laptops | Ebuyer.com

-or-

Asus X5EAE Laptop - Laptops | Ebuyer.com

The first is £70 more expenisve but has -

- HDMI out
-More dedicated graphics (i'm not a gamer)
-1080p resolution

are theses features, among others, worth paying extra for?

I'll bee using it for student use and entertainment when I move away from home.

Just from looking at the specs, I would go for the slightly more expensive one - the slightly better GPU and HDMI output will make it more resellable in the future, and make anything multimedia based easier at the minute.

Before buying either though, I would look at reviews for the both - professional ones, not the Reviews section on eBuyer - by googling '[make+model of laptop] review'. This will warn you if there's anything up with either laptop, or if there are any particularly good points about them.

I'd go with the more expensive one, but do look up professional reviews, as Yami said.

Go with the Acer, more features for only a few dollars more

I would say $120 is more than a few dollars more
