Question

Which of these 2 laptops would you pick?

by Jul 23, 2018 8:38AM PDT

Hi everyone, I'm planning on getting one of these 2 laptops in a month and I'm very excited. But I need someone's help to figure out which of the 2 laptops are the best as far as specs.

I plan on doing some light-medium video editing on Premiere Pro CC and some graphic intensive games such as Battlefield 1 and 5 (when it comes out).

Links to the 2 laptops:

Just list the differences.

I will share I'm on my Acer Predator here. So far, very good experience and the price was right. The keyboard is nice, same for display. No complaints.

While it's a gamer laptop which can edit, by you asking I worry. That is, what would be "good?"

specs are about the same but the price way cheaper for the Acer you can add a HD 1TB for around 50 or 2tb for less than 100 and the prices would still be cheaper.
