Hi guys. Im buying a new laptop for gaming and working in photoshop and after effects. What would be the better choice between Acer Predator Helios 300 and Asus Rog Strix Scar III ? Both have i7 9750h, rtx 2060 and 16gb of RAM.

Im planning to buy the 17 inch version so they both have 144hz refresh rate. Unfortunately, the ASUS Rog Strix Scar III has an option of 240hz refresh rate but only for 15 inch versions, but thats small for me. If they had the 240hz on 17 inch versions, then my decision would be clear towards ASUS.

What do you guys thing, is ASUS worth the extra price or should i go with Acer ? And what about graphic card, is there a big difference between RTX 2060 and 2070 ? Is the 2070 worth the extra price ? Also, if someone would explain the Max Q, whats the difference between a normal RTX 2060 and Max Q design. Is it better to go with a normal GPU or the Max Q ? Thank you ! :)
 
Max Q GPU's just consume less power which helps the OEMS to make a slimmer laptop while delivering the same performance.
The new Predator looks good but still no proper reviews out there to make a confident recommendation.
 
Hey guys. Do you maybe know when the ASUS Rog Strix Scar III 17 inch model with 240hz screen will be available to buy ? Is there a big difference between the 144hz and 240hz screen or is not that noticable ? Im thinking of buying the Acer predator helios 300 17 inch 144hz with i7 9750h and RTX 2070 and 16gb of ram. Do you guys think its worth paying more for the Rog Strix Scar III ? Which one is the better laptop of these two ? Also is 16gb ram enough ? Thank you !
