Have them both side by side. I7 with 16gb and a full 1060 leaves the Dell in the dust. I prefer the KB and the display on the Helios as well, sound slightly better. The Dell does have a thunderbolt, but that’s not going to make or break my sale when the Acer beats it out in all other areas. Do like the the dell has a boot to SSD and 1TB combo. I had to add a 1tb to the Helios. Haven’t been more impressed. Similar build quality.

The dell however has a better battery life, a better build, is more efficient, and weighs less. It also has bigger RAM slots. The only thing the helios 300 has on it is the graphics card and not by that much either. Also the screen option for 4k also is better. To add to that apparently the helios 300 has heating issues.

The difference between max q 1060 and regular 1060 is huge. About 10-20fps.

by managing thermal output and heat management they boosted the gpu so the difference isnt that much
