Hi, need help in deciding which laptop to buy. Both are used in good condition with similar warranty period with several significant difference that is listed here.
Cpu 10th gen intel Giga - i7 Acer - i5
Screen Giga - oled 4k Acer - ips full hd 144hz
Battery Giga - 99wh Acer - 59wh
Warranty ( 1& ½ year left) Giga- normal Acer- onsite, accidental,theft
The rest of the spec is pretty similar. I'm buying mainly for office work and gaming, I dont do any design work actually. But the oled screen of gigabyte aero is damn gorgeous.
With rm800 extra for the Gigabyte is it justified or I should just save the 800 for something else.

Except need to repaste the thermal paste, recently temperature a little bit high

Does it have any warranty sticker at the body that might prevent me from repasting without voiding the warranty? Any other things that I should keep in mind for the laptop. Thanks

I've decided to go with the Helios, 800 savings can be used to buy g502 lightspeed wireless mouse 😬

But I can use the extra 800 for something else. my laptop can last average 4 hours of light use is enough for me. I've already bought the helios tho
