Which computer is better? HP or Acer?

Question

I need a computer for school, and I'd like to be able to game on it, but that is not a priority. I've narrowed it down to an Acer Aspire (http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/acer… and an HP G6 (http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/hewl… Keep in mind I am extremely clumsy and I often run into walls while holding my computer, so I need something durable.

Additional Details

Can I get reasoning as to your choice too, if possible. Thanks!

The HP has the faster processor but you should be able to game on either one. Keep in mind that these are not gaming laptops so you will see some performance issues if you try to play the newest games with the highest graphics settings. If I were you, I'd take the Acer, thought I am biased because I own one :) Also keep in mind that yesterday HP announced that it was not going to manufacture PCs anymore and were going to focus more on servers. I don't know how that will impact their support though their support was never good. Hope this helps!
