Which laptop Asus R556LB or Acer F5-572G ?

[CMA]

I need to buy something new, cheap & universal so this are my options:

Acer (Aspire F15) F5-572G i5-6200U 2.3/2.8 GHz - Skylake
15,6" 1366 x 768 (HD)
8GB DDR3 1600 MHz
1TB HDD, DVD-RW
GT940M 2GB GDDR3 + Intel HD Graphics 530
4-cell, 2500 mAh Li-Ion

vs.

Asus R556LB i5-5200U 2.2/2.7 GHz - Broadwell
15,6" 1366 x 768 (HD)
8GB DDR3 1600 MHz
1TB HDD, DVD-RW
GT940M 2GB GDDR3 + Intel HD Graphics 5500
2-cell, 4829 mAh Li-Polymer


similar price - Acer a bit more expensive, need to mention that in my country Asus service has very bad reputation..

Yeah i would also recommend asus but the specs are almsot identicle but I do prefer ASUS because they are much more relaible in terms of the company and the laptops that they make. I also wouldn't worry to much about the service of asus as long as you get the laptop because once you get it yourself you can service it yourself or get someone else to do it.

I wouldn't worry about warranty too often because all a warranty does is let the company repair a computer for free if the damage was caused by faulty hardware so if you broke it yourself and it was in warranty you would still have to pay for it. Unless you are worried that the product that you do get will have faulty parts because of their history in your area then you should be careful with buying it but I have never had that problem before since a warranty is a contract to say the product has no faulty parts essentially.
