Thanks for the reply. Haven't thought about it, but don't necessarily want to. I like my tech brand new :D

Horses for courses! Personally, I'm happy to have purchased a basically unused two-month old laptop with 34 month warranty for around 40% discount over the new price when on sale - good luck finding as good a deal new!

So I'm tossing up between This Acer from Noel Leeming, and this Acer from MightyApe. The only difference I can see is the processor and the storage. Intel i5-1135G7 from Noel, Ryzen 7 5700U from MightyApe. 256vs512GB storage. I don't care much for 512GB storage, have been fine with 256GB for years. $50 difference in price, but I have a $100 Noel Leeming Gift Card, so $150 cheaper than MightyApe.

Are there any other differences I'm missing? Thanks!

Ryzan has Window 10, Intel has Windows 11, but likely upgradable. I'd check CPU benchmarks between the two, more storage is better than less storage.

I briefly used Windows 11 on a laptop. I much prefer W10.
