"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthe Dell 75077 and ASA predator Helios 300 a fairly similar SPECT gaming laptops at a similar price point but what should you buy let's compare the features of the two and run some gaming benchmarks to find out which is worth it let's start with the specs both laptops that I'm testing have the same Intel 7700 HQ quad-core CPU and 16 gig of ddr4 memory both have two RAM slots and can be upgraded to support up to 32 gig here's where things start to differ a bit although birth laptops have an m2 SSD for the primary drive the Dells as nvme while the Helios has SATA based so it's slower although both laptop seven video 1060 graphics the main difference that will affect gaming is that the Dell 75-77 as the max-q version which is clocked slower so in theory it should run cooler and quite off but not perform quite as well both laptops have an overall black and red theme although the Acer laptop looks like a brushed metal while the Dells is more of a matte as for the sighs both laptops are very close together there's no real noticeable difference here while the Dell weighs slightly more than the a saw but again it's not a real noticeable difference as for the i/o on the left both have a Kensington lock Ethernet port USB 3 type a port and full-sized SD card reader the a saw also has the HDMI and USB 3.1 type C port on the left over on the right both have a 3.5 millimeter audio combo jack 2 USB type a ports however the ace is only you must be 2.0 while the Dells a USB 3.1 and the Dell also has at HDMI and USB 3.1 type C on the right and the one on the Dell supports Thunderbolt while the Acer doesn't meaning you could use an external GPU enclosure with the Dell both screens are 15.6 inch 1080p 60 Hertz IPS panels without G sync and the screen quality between the two was very close I measured the colors produced by both and the Dell was only just slowly better compared to other laptops these results aren't as great as other options but for a gaming laptop I think these are perfectly acceptable and I had no issues playing on either in my models the Dell had a little backlight bleed while the Helios had none that I could notice however I didn't know any under normal lighting conditions from either although this will of course bury between each laptop as for screenflex birth were pretty similar that wasn't a clear winner keyboard flex was also pretty similar without any major difference no problems under normal typing conditions in any case overall I'd say the build quality of the dell was a bit better it just felt more sturdy I'd rate both keyboards about the same I had no typing issues with either and both have red backlighting I personally preferred the touchpad of the Dell it was easier for me to use as I had to push down fairly hard with the Helios though that's not an issue if you're using a mouse for gaming anyway as for the batteries both a four cell however the Dells is slightly larger at fifty-six watt hours while the Acer is just 48 just watching YouTube videos with the screen on half brightness and keyboard lighting disabled the Dell lasted for about an hour longer in gaming The Witcher 3 at medium settings kept to 30fps with the Dell lust at about 10 minutes longer so its larger battery is definitely helping and in theory the Dells max q10 60 should also use less power which should also help it last longer in games but this shouldn't make a difference outside of gaming as both laptops swap over to the integrated Intel graphics as for the temperatures have tested full load by running the heav'n benchmark and a 264 stress test at the same time the 1060 in the Dell is running slightly cooler and a full load as expected it is the max Q version after all however the CPU is a little warmer although no thermal throttling was observed in either laptop and they're about the same at idle as for overall system noise at idle both were around the same very quiet and I could hardly hear them with the 100% CPU and GPU load the dell peaked at 49 decibels while the ASA went up to 54 decibels quite a bit louder so the Dell wins in this regard but all they you hear them for yourself while under full load the keyboard area heats up around the same amount in both laptops in the center towards the back the ASA was Maps just slightly warmer now let's check out some benchmarks in player immense battlegrounds the ASA Helios is coming out ahead at medium settings or above although the difference isn't that much watchdogs to is a pretty resource intensive game and we're seeing a bigger difference here with the Helios performing around 21% better than the Dell rise of the Tomb Raider with the built-in benchmark tool ran just under 10% better on the Helios but the results from both were fairly decent shadow of war was also tested with the built-in benchmark and again the result was similar with the Helios 300 performing just under 10 percent battle ghost recon was once again tested with the built-in benchmark tool and the Helios 300 came out ahead yet again but only by around 5% this time I've also tested with the Unigine and 3dmark benchmark tools just pause the video if you want a detailed look at the results as we've seen the ASA Helios is slightly ahead in all games performing just over 10 percent better than the Dell 75-77 on average as it's got a regular 1060 compared to the Dells max q10 60 which is clocked lower I've got a full video comparing the differences between these two graphics cards if you're after more detailed information we'll just quickly look at the hard drive speeds as we can see the nvme SSD and the dell give it much faster read speeds but it's actually slightly behind in the writes both have one terabyte 5400 RPM hard drives and the one in the Acer is slightly better now perhaps the most important difference the price currently on Amazon the ASA Helios 300 starts at 1049 US dollars while the Dell 75-77 with matching specs is 1199 US dollars so depending on sales the Dell 75077 is about a hundred two hundred fifty dollars more although both are also available for even less with the 7300 HQ CPU although I haven't tested that yet considering the Helios performed better in the games due to the regular 1060 rather than max q and it's cheaper I'm going to give it the overall win as it's a better bang for the buck option in terms of raw performance with that said however I thought that the overall build quality of the Dell was higher and in general a trend cooler quieter and thanks to its larger battery so when it comes down to it it depends on what your priorities are and what you're going to be using the laptop for but purely for gaming the ASA Helios 300 gives you around 10 percent more performance in the games that I've tested for a lower price so which of these two gaming laptops would you guys pick the Dell seven five seven seven or ASA predator Helios 300 let me know what you guys throw it down in
