Pros and Cons

Acer Predator Helios 700

Strengths

Performance is definitely where it's at here...the Acer Predator Helios 700 comes with the 9th Gen Intel Core i9-9900HK chipset stuffed inside, backed by a maximum of 64 gigs of DDR4 RAM and either Nvidia's GeForce RTX 2070 or 2080. This is no choice for alternative options here.
The dual drive storage is super nippy...hit and read speeds of around 3500 megabytes per second and write speeds not far off are definitely one of the best results I've seen in some time
Customizable RGB keyboard with the option to assign a different color to each individual key, so you can turn this thing into a retina-searing light show or give it a moody glow that turns your slack-jawed expression a here's red color as you gunned down endless strangers online.
The sides of the laptop mean you get plenty of space for the keyboard including room for a number pad macro shortcuts and everything else you would need, making it comfortable enough to use for gaming and typing alike.

Weaknesses

No specific cons listed for this device

Acer Swift X

Strengths

The display is fantastic, color accurate, and large with a good color gamut.
Battery life is good, especially for an i7-13700H processor, with around 9 hours of productivity, 7.5 hours of streaming video playback, and close to 5 hours for Photoshop work.
The keyboard is quiet, has a medium key press, full-size shift keys on both sides, and a fingerprint reader under the power button.
Performance benchmarks show good results in geekbench single core, cinebench R23, and DaVinci Resolve.

Weaknesses

Multi-core performance drops down the charts quite a bit, especially in Photoshop benchmark compared to other laptops with similar spec outs.
16GB of RAM may cause bottlenecks in After Effects due to its preference for more RAM.
6K video editing is not recommended due to high drop frames and export time (26 minutes and 49 seconds).
Export time for 6K raw footage is relatively long compared to other laptops.
