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

Apple MacBook Air 15

Better battery life compared to 13-inch model, with around 45 minutes more run time on usual light load test

Good improvements in both MC and SC runs

Weaknesses

256 gigabytes of storage is not enough for consumers in 2023, filling up quickly
Lack of ports was a pretty big deal, requiring plugging in dongles
Performance can be sluggish with heavy tasks like Lightroom, requiring upgrading to 16 or 24 GB RAM spec
Single Nan SSD affects overall user experience in resource-intensive applications
Not ideal for those who need more storage space and ports, making it hard to recommend without upgrades
