Thanks for doing this video, I had heard good things about the Acer Helios 300 and heard that it runs it’s cooler than the Asus A15, which I heard was having some issues and approaching pretty high temps during gaming? Do you have any input on that? Thanks
That was highly educational for me. Thank you. I'm interested in more direct comparisons such as this one regarding the performance of similar systems (with the CPU variations).
Wow I literally was looking at your reviews between these two yesterday trying to figure which one to go with. I went with the Helios, but either way it is a good buy.
Helios is a little bit more expensive .If you play fps games then both have the same quality tbh :V just 4-5fps diff but you barely notice that when both can run over 120fps
Damned be my brother. His laptop gonna smoke mine .. And at a lower price. I cannot but wait for his laptop to arrive, and see how much canI lower the noise/heat with ThrottleStop. Given that on my 9750H , for "browsing/tasking" I keep it a little bit under 15W. Thankyou for the review/comparison.

Hey OWNorDisown, what's your personal preference. Since im going to be sitting at home for a while i want to get into pc gaming. I'm leaning towards the Helios because in Belgium I can't seem to find a 16 GB TUF A15. And that ram is a must for me.
Hi, for gaming you will get just the same performance with the Helios and you do get a better display, albeit no freesync. RAM is an easy upgrade though, so personally I would get the 90wh battery version of the TUF A15 unless it is more expensive than the Helios. I used to live in Antwerpen , great place. Used to work in a town called Duffel
@OWNorDisown Hey Steven, I was wondering if you did apply the overdrive profile for the monitor Asus gives you on the support page? I found that the ghosting changed dramatically for the better on my FY505DU after I applied it and I was wondering if this screen works the same way.
@@BruhBruh-mk5yg Bruh, no. They're using the i7 9750h which performs similarly with those gpus.

If the extra 2 cores on the TUF A15 will help you then thats the way to go, otherwise then go for the one you like the look of best. The TUF A15 will have longer battery life with the 90wh model. Its has freesync but the Helios has better colours for photo work
I liked it. The only issue I had was occasionally I would get frame rate drops as it tried to use the internal Vega graphics in games like CSGO. I think it was an optimus issue and hopefully is solved by now
Hello Raphael, I am inclined to recommend the Asus TUF A15 unless you think Intel Quicksync can be used to accelerate your software. The Ryzen CPU is very fast and energy efficient , you should see better battery life on the TUF A15 which may be useful if you are on campus.
They were about the same, but I have the small battery (48wh) in my A15. Both were about 5 hours. The 90wh battery in the other model of A15 should get at least 8 hours
Cpu temps seem very good. Although from most reviews I seen and read they were complaining how the cpu stays over 95C. What do you think about the thermals ?
really hoping you will going to make a review about the comparison on the recent new launch laptop for Asus and MSI. I mean even they are in different price range but the value they offer can still be an attractive topic. Also, I hope there is some advises from you for buying a gaming laptop can play the FPS game like eft without significant thermal issue and a all round good laptop. For the i7 9gen like gu502 it is all about the thermal and downvolt issue to keep me away from getting one. Now the new ASUS laptop is also disappointing. It really tough as a noob like me to decide which one to go. Thank you for you video
Hey there ! The only downside is the display. OK for gaming I thought but everything else was a bit under par. How about wait and see what the 240 Hz 3ms display looks like on the G15. I bought one a bit ago, should be here soon.
OWNorDisown did you made a review? I am waiting for that. Which one would your recommend A15 AMD Ryzen 7 4800HS/ RTX260 with 240Hz display or G14 AMD Ryzen 7 4800HS/ 1660Ti with 120Hz screen for gaming, video and photo editing?
Any chance u could review the NEW acer nitro 2020 with the Rx560. Seems pretty neat for a cheap laptop. Or the Msi leopard gp65 vs the Msi raider. They seem like pretty much the same exact thing. They both have the gtx1660ti.
When are you going to do a review on the msi gs66? I am so anticipating your review on it especially of the model with the rtx 2060 cause I believe that is the best value gs66 model.
@@hassanfaraz3896 I think they will be better. It has a thicker chassis so probably bigger fan blades and at least this time the motherboard is the right way around so its easier to repaste if necessary.
Hi, new subscriber, love your channel! Could you start including Bannerlord in your tests? It's a very CPU heavy game and I would like to see how the new Ryzen 7 and 9 does with this game.
The Helios will be faster for gaming and has the better panel. The TUF has a better CPU for any multithreaded workload but if your software uses Quicksync that can make a nice improvement. My big issue on the Helios is its fans. Mine definitely were making a noise that I don't normally hear and I have had a few comments to the same effect, one whose fans were clicking.
I found it OK, as have many others. If you are a competitive gamer you may notice it more. I recommend reading the reviews say on Amazon or Best Buy as you will have a large pool to get data from.
in the model acer predator helios 300 of 2020 with I7 10750H and RTX 2060 vs the tuf A15 with R7 4800H and RTX 2060 who's better in gaming performance?
The new Intel ones will be available in about a week or so , wait and see what pricing they are at and also what effect it has on the current generation. Might be some deals around.
Love it! I had to give in to the TUF A15! Even with not so stellar single core performance due to lower boost clocks, in multicore it absolutely shreds the competition in the TDP range, while still being completely capable for gaming. Just got to repaste with some liquid metal and further optimize the thermal performance.
You think that it’s wise to repaste when it’s right out of the box? Also will that give it a difference when it’s new? I was thinking of ways to help it’s performance, I’m going to buy a cooling pad as well, but I wasn’t sure if repasting it and adding heat cushions inside the laptop when it’s so new will help it.
Can you tell me what will be the performance difference of helios with i5 9300h gtx 1660ti and this amd ryzen 7 4800h gtx 1660ti as they will be around same budget.
Depends what you want to do with your laptop. Intel Quicksync is pretty good at accelerating video editing . Or even a laptop with a low powered GPU like the MAG 15u I reviewed.
@@OWNORDISOWN I purchased a Acer aspire 7 a715-74g 71ws for $849 total. I7-9th gen 16gb of ram 512ssd with invidia 1050 graphics card with 3g of ram. But after looking at the helios and the new asus I am returning it. Better specs for just a little more. What do you think?
wouldve been a buy for me if it wasnt for the shitty screen : / I have been trying to wait for the legion 7 but I might just jump on the msi ge75 if a good review convinces me :D
grape boi 25ms response time compared to 3ms on acer Helios this matters the most in gaming but the least in anything else since generally in gaming u want the lowest ping and response time think of it as adding 22ms to your ping it wouldn’t kill off your gaming but it would lower it overall but don’t buy this laptop since it has major heating issues and I don’t think they’ll find a fix for it anytime soon and to make matters worse you can barely play around with the new amd 4000 chips cause they’re still brand new while acer went a next step in 2020 and did an automatic factory under volt for the i7-10th gen
@@Koltary no, amd chips are very well good in playing games even though they are so cheaper compared to intel, i tested and compared and its a false statement that u can 'barely play', , and in other tasks it falls far superior than these expensive intel chips, i would agree that the single core performance is better but not everyone will play crisis remastered, other thing the cooling system is fine, it has some problems, but u can always use Ryzen controller to limit your tdp if you are in a graphically bound gaming situation, other thing, the response time thing u said like adding 22 ping more, no brother it doesn't work like that, though yes its not ideal for competitive gaming, but its solid fine if u want to play non competitive games or u are not a professional e sports gamer, i would say the very disappointing thing in A 15 is the colour inaccuracy, its just feels bland in compared to other prime laptops like helios while other problems that people are exaggerating is different from reality
@@OWNORDISOWN oh ok thanks for answering! The A15 is probably the only good budget option that'll be available in my country but it's a shame that the display is not great :/ other reviewers straight up hated the display
Everyone, the ASUS A15 is better, it's is more cheaper Stringer Power efficient (90wh battery) More storage and ram upgrade and the keyboard and screen is better It also have the RTX 2069 for 1180 on Amazon while the Acer is 1200 Trust me you won't regret buying it, everyone has their good and bad reviews but this computer is good
It is getting a bad rap for sure. I didnt think it was bad for gaming personally. It's not that bright, about the same as the GL531GU . It colour gamut and sharpness was poor though, so I think I for photo work and video editing it's a poor choice . Perhaps even movie watching if you want the best clarity. How about the G15?
OWNorDisown Speaking about G15. I think it also have some similar issues like A15. a low watt RTX 2060 maxq, I don’t know if the screen is really that bad but definitely can be better in G15, a soldered memory and very limited hot pipe. All of these are refer to different review made by others. I hope it didn’t get things wrong but as a potential customer for all this waiting since Sep 2019. I really want a gaming laptop with a good value with a acceptable price. Thank you for your video and it is valuable.
@@aille1756 well, I will have a G15 in this week. I bought one to review so we will see what it's like. If it runs hot I will repaste it. Might even sell it on the channel.
OWNorDisown great, I am looking forward to your all around review on this laptop...man I got to say I really want to make my purchase this month but the g15 is just too controversial. Hope you can also provide some tips for us on purchasing a gaming laptop in 2020
Vidhya Dhara absolutely what I am think about. Also, i think this notebook is a bit under value for what it offer.. given that the my place is selling usd1,666 for 16gb 2060maxq 144hz
1660ti is the best balance i think on a laptop..i just hope amd rollsout rx5600 and 5700 mobile asap to the market and kill the super..theres no need for above 1080p144 gaming on laptops,so imho either 5600m or 1660ti will be the ideal gpu for that price
RTX cards do gain quite a bit of performance with DLSS 2.0. If the game supports DLSS, a 2060 easily beats a 1660ti by more than 30%. Example: th-cam.com/video/YWIKzRhYZm4/w-d-xo.html
If you are talking cooling per watt then the Helios wins because the Ryzen 7 4800h is hotter at the same watts than the i7 9750h, but you are getting two more cores so that in itself is a huge win for multithreaded tasks. The helios has a max fan option whilst the TUF A15 does not but I felt the A15 ran reasonably cool, especially compared to the G15 and G14
I am really torn between these two laptops and I'm glad that this video is up. I'm a bit disappointed in the ASUS's cooling system though, since the CPU draws less power than the Intel one, it still runs hotter as well as the GPU. I'm not sure if running 85-90 C on the CPU and GPU affects the longevity of the laptop as a whole. I hope that Acer will put the ryzen 4800H in the Helios, then it will be an instant buy
Laptop CPUs are build for these kinds of temperatures, so it should not affect longevity of that much. My Apple Probook from 2003 still runs perfectly to this day despite the CPU being very hot (over 100 degrees)
As long as the temps are OK, yes, but I do find turbo mode on these AMD laptops does make it run hot and for the most part I don't think its worth it for the performance gained.
Ahhh im not able to decide All i want to do is gaming And over here the a15 is cheaper But ive seen so many bad reviews about the display's color gamut Plz help me!!!
Would you like me to do a similar comparison TUF A15 vs TUF505DU?

Hello Raphael, I am inclined to recommend the Asus TUF A15 unless you think Intel Quicksync can be used to accelerate your software. The Ryzen CPU is very fast and energy efficient , you should see better battery life on the TUF A15 which may be useful if you are on campus.
this video was lit, imma sub!
how many more hours of use do you get asus tuf a15 vs acer 300 for the battery ? in gaming and web browsing
They were about the same, but I have the small battery (48wh) in my A15. Both were about 5 hours. The 90wh battery in the other model of A15 should get at least 8 hours
Awesome video!!!
Cpu temps seem very good. Although from most reviews I seen and read they were complaining how the cpu stays over 95C.
What do you think about the thermals ?
Seems like one of those vids that asus paid for to make it look better
really hoping you will going to make a review about the comparison on the recent new launch laptop for Asus and MSI. I mean even they are in different price range but the value they offer can still be an attractive topic. Also, I hope there is some advises from you for buying a gaming laptop can play the FPS game like eft without significant thermal issue and a all round good laptop. For the i7 9gen like gu502 it is all about the thermal and downvolt issue to keep me away from getting one. Now the new ASUS laptop is also disappointing. It really tough as a noob like me to decide which one to go. Thank you for you video
Thanks Remy. I do plan on doing more and more comparisons as I do feel they help quite a lot. Thanks for watching !
Hey Steven!! Should I go forward with A15??
Hey there ! The only downside is the display. OK for gaming I thought but everything else was a bit under par. How about wait and see what the 240 Hz 3ms display looks like on the G15. I bought one a bit ago, should be here soon.
OWNorDisown Hey do you got the G15 unit for review?
@@ShabihAhmed I bought it from Hidevolution
OWNorDisown did you made a review? I am waiting for that. Which one would your recommend A15 AMD Ryzen 7 4800HS/ RTX260 with 240Hz display or G14 AMD Ryzen 7 4800HS/ 1660Ti with 120Hz screen for gaming, video and photo editing?
Acer predator helios 300 2020 or asus tuf A17???
Any chance u could review the NEW acer nitro 2020 with the Rx560. Seems pretty neat for a cheap laptop. Or the Msi leopard gp65 vs the Msi raider. They seem like pretty much the same exact thing. They both have the gtx1660ti.
I certainly would like to look at the new Acer Nitro :)
When are you going to do a review on the msi gs66? I am so anticipating your review on it especially of the model with the rtx 2060 cause I believe that is the best value gs66 model.
As soon as I can get my hands on one Hassan , i am eagerly looking forward to testing it 😀
@@OWNORDISOWN do you think its thermals will be good?
@@hassanfaraz3896 I think they will be better. It has a thicker chassis so probably bigger fan blades and at least this time the motherboard is the right way around so its easier to repaste if necessary.
@@OWNORDISOWN thank you so much. Looking forward to it.
Hey steve, how much more performance would asus tuf gain with a gtx 2060.
It's only about a 10% increase in gaming performance for an extra $200. Not really worth it to me.
@@Crazy350ZDriver but you will also get a bigger battery, bigger ssd and with 2060 nvidia DlSS2 will also come into play.
Hi, new subscriber, love your channel! Could you start including Bannerlord in your tests? It's a very CPU heavy game and I would like to see how the new Ryzen 7 and 9 does with this game.
Thanks, I'll check it out for the next Ryzen / intel 10th gen laptop I do. Thanks for the suggestion 👍
which laptop is better for softwares like autocad? the helios 300 or the a15??
Will the extra 2 cores help you? If so the A15. I don't think the worse colour gamut will effect you.
Thanks man, nice comparison.
Thanks mate !
Very good topic for comparison, AMD CPU have come to the party in laptops
thank you for this! very good quality video!
Thanks, I appreciate you saying that 😀
@@OWNORDISOWN You are welcome! truth has to be spoken (always) ;P
How's the display of asus?? Is the difference very noticeable from the Helios?
I found it fine for gaming
I still dont know wich one should i pick,
Acer helios 300 i7 1075h rtx 2060
Asus tuf A15 ryzen 7 rtx 2060
The Helios will be faster for gaming and has the better panel. The TUF has a better CPU for any multithreaded workload but if your software uses Quicksync that can make a nice improvement.
My big issue on the Helios is its fans. Mine definitely were making a noise that I don't normally hear and I have had a few comments to the same effect, one whose fans were clicking.
Slow response time in asus tuf a15 will effect gaming experience or not ?
I found it OK, as have many others. If you are a competitive gamer you may notice it more. I recommend reading the reviews say on Amazon or Best Buy as you will have a large pool to get data from.
Blue is cool, and good looking. Nice Video.
The 4800h performance equal to 2700x, so this is the second fastest cpu now for mobile
It's an awesome CPU. Better than the 35w HS version .
in the model acer predator helios 300 of 2020 with I7 10750H and RTX 2060 vs the tuf A15 with R7 4800H and RTX 2060 who's better in gaming performance?
The helios 300 will be faster. i tested it against the RP 17 which has the fastest 4800H and 110w 2060: th-cam.com/video/bm7beYM1_sM/w-d-xo.html
I want buy a new laptop so are you see wait for new lap with amd or buy now?
The new Intel ones will be available in about a week or so , wait and see what pricing they are at and also what effect it has on the current generation. Might be some deals around.
Love it! I had to give in to the TUF A15! Even with not so stellar single core performance due to lower boost clocks, in multicore it absolutely shreds the competition in the TDP range, while still being completely capable for gaming. Just got to repaste with some liquid metal and further optimize the thermal performance.
You think that it’s wise to repaste when it’s right out of the box? Also will that give it a difference when it’s new? I was thinking of ways to help it’s performance, I’m going to buy a cooling pad as well, but I wasn’t sure if repasting it and adding heat cushions inside the laptop when it’s so new will help it.
Which latop should i purchase
Asus or Helious 300?
If u r in my place which laptop would u purchase?
depend on your activities. like me, i used my helios 300 more on video editting than gaming which has better color gamut than asus tuf.
Which is better A15 or a17
Have you tried to overclock the a15? I want to see the performance ang temp.
No I didn't, sorry. My time line was really tight. I
Can you tell me what will be the performance difference of helios with i5 9300h gtx 1660ti and this amd ryzen 7 4800h gtx 1660ti as they will be around same budget.
The 4 core CPU will, in theory be 2/3rds the speed of the 9750h in multithreaded tasks. In gaming there will be negligible difference.
@@OWNORDISOWN 9750h or Ryzen 7 4800h, i am asking i5 vs ryzen 7
What is the best laptop for non gamers? At least 16gb and 512gb ssd intel i7 9th gen or a comparable amd chip. Thanks
Depends what you want to do with your laptop. Intel Quicksync is pretty good at accelerating video editing . Or even a laptop with a low powered GPU like the MAG 15u I reviewed.
@@OWNORDISOWN I purchased a Acer aspire 7 a715-74g 71ws for $849 total. I7-9th gen 16gb of ram 512ssd with invidia 1050 graphics card with 3g of ram. But after looking at the helios and the new asus I am returning it. Better specs for just a little more. What do you think?
wouldve been a buy for me if it wasnt for the shitty screen : / I have been trying to wait for the legion 7 but I might just jump on the msi ge75 if a good review convinces me :D
buy an external monitor?
Is the screen that shitty? It seems fine to me
@@grapeboi9256 yeah, using it for over 2 months now, its fine
grape boi 25ms response time compared to 3ms on acer Helios this matters the most in gaming but the least in anything else since generally in gaming u want the lowest ping and response time think of it as adding 22ms to your ping it wouldn’t kill off your gaming but it would lower it overall but don’t buy this laptop since it has major heating issues and I don’t think they’ll find a fix for it anytime soon and to make matters worse you can barely play around with the new amd 4000 chips cause they’re still brand new while acer went a next step in 2020 and did an automatic factory under volt for the i7-10th gen
@@Koltary no, amd chips are very well good in playing games even though they are so cheaper compared to intel, i tested and compared and its a false statement that u can 'barely play', , and in other tasks it falls far superior than these expensive intel chips, i would agree that the single core performance is better but not everyone will play crisis remastered, other thing the cooling system is fine, it has some problems, but u can always use Ryzen controller to limit your tdp if you are in a graphically bound gaming situation, other thing, the response time thing u said like adding 22 ping more, no brother it doesn't work like that, though yes its not ideal for competitive gaming, but its solid fine if u want to play non competitive games or u are not a professional e sports gamer, i would say the very disappointing thing in A 15 is the colour inaccuracy, its just feels bland in compared to other prime laptops like helios while other problems that people are exaggerating is different from reality
I found a $1000 asus GU501GM, is it a good deal or not? To compare The acer helios 300 price in our country is $1800
I think that is a fair price. The GTX 1060 is still a decent GPU
To me, because of the backlight bleed(?) sometimes content on the tuf A15 looks better? How come the A15 have virtually 0 backlight bleed? Is it a VA?
I thinks its IPS, juts can't call it IPS because its not an LG panel
@@OWNORDISOWN oh ok thanks for answering! The A15 is probably the only good budget option that'll be available in my country but it's a shame that the display is not great :/ other reviewers straight up hated the display
Everyone, the ASUS A15 is better, it's is more cheaper
Stringer
Power efficient (90wh battery)
More storage and ram upgrade and the keyboard and screen is better
It also have the RTX 2069 for 1180 on Amazon while the Acer is 1200
Trust me you won't regret buying it, everyone has their good and bad reviews but this computer is good
Which one will you recommend for college work+gaming ?
I think if you get the 90w battery TUF A15 then that will last you all day at college. That's the one I would get.
Are the GPUs configured for same amount of power?
Yes, they are both 80w CPUs. Even in Turbo mode the Helios 300 will max out at 85w
I've been looking everywhere for this kind of review between both laptops! I want to get the A15 but I'm hesitating because of the display.. :(
It is getting a bad rap for sure. I didnt think it was bad for gaming personally. It's not that bright, about the same as the GL531GU . It colour gamut and sharpness was poor though, so I think I for photo work and video editing it's a poor choice . Perhaps even movie watching if you want the best clarity.
How about the G15?
OWNorDisown Speaking about G15. I think it also have some similar issues like A15. a low watt RTX 2060 maxq, I don’t know if the screen is really that bad but definitely can be better in G15, a soldered memory and very limited hot pipe. All of these are refer to different review made by others. I hope it didn’t get things wrong but as a potential customer for all this waiting since Sep 2019. I really want a gaming laptop with a good value with a acceptable price. Thank you for your video and it is valuable.
@@aille1756 well, I will have a G15 in this week. I bought one to review so we will see what it's like. If it runs hot I will repaste it. Might even sell it on the channel.
OWNorDisown great, I am looking forward to your all around review on this laptop...man I got to say I really want to make my purchase this month but the g15 is just too controversial. Hope you can also provide some tips for us on purchasing a gaming laptop in 2020
Vidhya Dhara absolutely what I am think about. Also, i think this notebook is a bit under value for what it offer.. given that the my place is selling usd1,666 for 16gb 2060maxq 144hz
Hello, can you review the MSi GL75 - i7 9750H - GTX1660ti please ???
If I buy A15, can I change the screen to much better screen for laptop or the screen cant be change? sorry I'm new at this
As far as I know, it is very hard because of the thin bezels
I see others Say that the Thermals on the a15 is not good? I want it but idk im confused whether the helios or a15
tested 14 games on the TUF A15 here: th-cam.com/video/HFO8cqSXSLQ/w-d-xo.html
I show thermals in real time.
1660ti is the best balance i think on a laptop..i just hope amd rollsout rx5600 and 5700 mobile asap to the market and kill the super..theres no need for above 1080p144 gaming on laptops,so imho either 5600m or 1660ti will be the ideal gpu for that price
That would be awesome 👍
RTX cards do gain quite a bit of performance with DLSS 2.0. If the game supports DLSS, a 2060 easily beats a 1660ti by more than 30%.
Example: th-cam.com/video/YWIKzRhYZm4/w-d-xo.html
How can be better the screen of A15... Anyway to increase response time and prevent it from ghosting....
I the screen of the Asus TUF A15 and A17 really that bad? I am thinking of buying one.
No, not for gaming and regular use. Just not great for photo and video editing if you want sharp details and good colour
@@OWNORDISOWN ok! Thanks for the quick response. 👍
So that means the screen is not a big issue for gaming? I only use the laptop for gaming and movie. Help me A15 or helios 300 or triton 300
So what should i buy?😅
Which of them has the best cooling System.??
If you are talking cooling per watt then the Helios wins because the Ryzen 7 4800h is hotter at the same watts than the i7 9750h, but you are getting two more cores so that in itself is a huge win for multithreaded tasks. The helios has a max fan option whilst the TUF A15 does not but I felt the A15 ran reasonably cool, especially compared to the G15 and G14
@@OWNORDISOWN Thank you for this information.
How is the thermals in tuf A15
could you try disabling SMT on TUF A15? see if that helps ingame performance
I'm afraid I dont have it any more. I can try that on another AMD unit I have just bought
@@OWNORDISOWN thank you very much...looking forward for your next video
@@herwinbayuadhi thanks!
Thanku soo much sir for this video😊
Thanks for watching!
Hi nice comparison. I'm just wondering if you can upgrade the Acer Helios with 3200 DDR4 Ram? thank you!
Thanks ! According to this thread it works fine
community.acer.com/en/discussion/573051/2019-helios-300-ph315-52-and-ddr4-3200
I am really torn between these two laptops and I'm glad that this video is up. I'm a bit disappointed in the ASUS's cooling system though, since the CPU draws less power than the Intel one, it still runs hotter as well as the GPU. I'm not sure if running 85-90 C on the CPU and GPU affects the longevity of the laptop as a whole. I hope that Acer will put the ryzen 4800H in the Helios, then it will be an instant buy
same thoughts, also going for tuf and buying a separate monitor isn't really my thing so yeaa
Laptop CPUs are build for these kinds of temperatures, so it should not affect longevity of that much. My Apple Probook from 2003 still runs perfectly to this day despite the CPU being very hot (over 100 degrees)
How about the rtx2060 version of Helios 300?
Is it good to always turn on the turbo mode??
As long as the temps are OK, yes, but I do find turbo mode on these AMD laptops does make it run hot and for the most part I don't think its worth it for the performance gained.
OWNorDisown oh so its better played with it turned off?
I cover performance and temp differences in my review: th-cam.com/video/ELn--iOQ6ZQ/w-d-xo.html
OWNorDisown i watched it just now Oh my god thank you sooo much it really helpss ❤️👍
Great, glad you found it useful :)
Ahhh im not able to decide
All i want to do is gaming
And over here the a15 is cheaper
But ive seen so many bad reviews about the display's color gamut
Plz help me!!!
go and check in person
I think it is fine for gaming, just not photo work.
@@OWNORDISOWN which one will you choose Omen 15 or A15 with gtx 1660ti
