    Wanted to get some advice on which one might be better. I already purchased the HP for $650 but am within my return period so i could save $100 and have no problem returning it. Seems like one has a faster processor but older graphics, is that a wash? Not sure the differences between DDR3L and DDR4, noticeable? 3 cell and 4 cell battery differences, I thought I found somehere the Acer was also 48Wh Li-ion. Thoughts?

    http://www.costco.com/HP-ENVY-x360-...-Intel-Core-i5---1080p.product.100312023.html

    Looks like the main differences between the two are:

    HP Processor - i5-7200u w/ HD620 graphics, Memory - 12GB DDR3L, Battery- 3-cell, 48 Wh Li-ion

    Acer Processor - i7-6500u w/ HD520 graphics, Memory - 12GB DDR4 (2-DIMM) Battery - 4-cell

    Thank you,
    Zach

    Another tough one

    Take a look here http://www.cpubenchmark.net

    The i5 is a more powerful cpu but not by much.

    The hd 620 comparison can be found here.

    It's the hd 620 that comes out a little better.

    DDr 4 is better that DDr3
