Price and Where to Buy

Currently, the Acer Aspire V7-582PG-6673 is priced at around $815. Meanwhile, the higher-end model, Acer Aspire V7-582PG-9856 is priced at $891.25. For the UK visitors go here.

If I were to choose from the two, I would definitely go for the Aspire V7-582PG-9856 with Core i7 and discrete graphics processor. I’m sure user experience would be better in Core i7 with a discrete graphics rather than relying on an integrated GPU. You can also more games thanks to the discrete GPU, compared to the Core i5 model.
