Pros and Cons

MSI Stealth 15

Strengths

it has blown me away not only in the performance point of view but the battery life but mainly in The Thermals and fan noise point of view
The laptop is made up of a mix of aluminum and plastic in certain parts but overall it's a very premium laptop feel as well as this it is just over two kilograms in weight so it's it's on the heavier end but it's not too heavy yeah it's kind of it's kind of standard for gaming laptops
For the price you cannot complain you are getting the latest gpus from Nvidia which will last you a long time now although it is the entry level laptop
You are getting one terabyte of storage although it's not the fastest SSD storage it's still a lot so at least when you're downloading games you can be able to put a lot of games on there
The ports on this laptop now you are getting quite a lot of options here you have two USB 3.2 ports as well as two USB C ports and my favorite part of this you are getting the HDMI 2.1 Port so if you have got a brand new TV or a monitor that does support 4K at high refresh rate you'll be loving life
It goes without saying these benchmarks are run while the laptop is fully plugged in but I'm sure that'll be what you're doing anyway

Weaknesses

The display for this laptop I've got to be honest it's kind of mediocre it's not bad by any means but it is only a 1080p IPS panel and it is running 144 Hertz so you are getting a smooth display it's just not particularly good quality
The webcam on this isn't great it's only a state of 720p webcam but I doubt the main focus for anyone buying this laptop is going to be web calls but if that isn't that is you then keep that in mind it's only a 720p webcam and a lot of people do like to know um about the keyboard that comes with the laptop
The display doesn't have a HDR which might be a letdown for some users
You can get a better display on the higher model one around about 600 pounds more expensive which has a Quad HD display at 240 hertz so if you want that better quality display it might be worth looking at upping your budget to the higher model
The laptop's design is not too flashy or screams gaming laptop too much, but some users might find it boring

Acer Aspire 1

Strengths

Acer has built a solid package around it giving us impressive upgradability
Good features such as an awesome battery life
Battery is 43 watt hours and I get around 9 hours of normal use with the brightness set to 30
Trackpad is surprisingly good for the price range
Full-size keyboard with numpad that works as it should

Weaknesses

Has a low-spec Intel Celeron processor which is far from being a powerhouse
The celeron processor in this laptop is far from being able to handle gaming or heavy tasks
Storage is only 128 GB, which can be limiting for storage-hungry users
Webcam is 720p and it's just as crappy as every other 720p webcam
Keys are a bit mushy for my taste
