Fan system and build quality were also major factors. Helios has aluminum lid and the body around the keyboard. Only the underside is plastic, but that is better for heat dissapation. The reason razor batteries always bloat is probably because they cook against the aluminum underside. So this doesn’t have that issue either.

But it’s up to you. If you just want performance in games then the tuf will be ok. But for long gaming sessions in the heat a good fan system will do wonders.

A 1080 screen though?

I’d pay the extra $300 and go for the Acer Predator Helios 16”. It has 4070 with 1440 screen I think and the tan should be ddr5. My 15.6” 3070ti from 2022 was $1300 in June and the fan system is crazy good. Thing never gets close to hot if I adjust fan speed. Also build quality is way better than this Tuff thing.

If you have the money I’d recommend the Acer.
