Pros and Cons

Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 GA401

Strengths

The updated version of the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 GA-401 has some interesting new things under the hood like AMD Zen3 CPUs and NVIDIA Ampere GPUs, so powerful hardware that is fitted in a shell of a compact 14-incher.
The build quality is very good, with an aluminum lid and magnesium alloy base.
The design of the laptop is distinctive, with an optional Anime Matrix feature that shows custom animations.
The device feels like a compact piece of hardware, weighing only 1.6 kilograms and measuring just 17.9 to 19.9 millimeters thick.
The laptop features fingerprint login on the power button, making waking up the laptop as simple as unlocking your phone.
The battery life is impressive, with a true king in its category, scoring 16 hours and 40 minutes of web browsing and exactly 10 hours of video playback.

Weaknesses

There are only two USB Type-A ports available, which may be a limitation for some users.
The laptop's cooling system is shared with the GPU and CPU, which may lead to thermal throttling in intense gaming sessions.
The maximum possible memory configuration is limited to 32 GB of DDR4 RAM, which may not be sufficient for power users.
The storage option is limited to a single M.2 PCIe NVMe drive, which may not provide enough storage space for some users.
There is no PWM across all brightness levels on the QHD display, but it's not mentioned if this affects gaming performance.
The laptop's predecessor had five heat pipes, and while the new unit has an improved cooling system, it's still a concern in intense gaming sessions.

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.
