Acer vs Gateway

[kandrew009]

Purchasing a new laptop for school. I've found four that I am considering. Can you let me know which of these is the best bang for my buck? Reliability is the most important thing to me as I really only use it for word and internet searches for my research.

honestly, if all your doing is Word and surfing, the second one from the left is fine. Your not going to need a ton of ram or hard disk space.
But the second from the right is HDCP compliant and has HDMI output for an extra $20
